Short answer: a professional business website in Uganda costs from about UGX 700,000 to UGX 2,000,000 or more, an online store from about UGX 2,000,000, and custom booking or business systems above that. Here is what is behind those numbers, what changes them, and how to get a quote you can trust.
| Website type | Typical Kampala market range | At AG Digital Solutions | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business website 5 to 8 pages, custom design, SEO setup | UGX 700,000 – 2,000,000+ | From UGX 700,000, fixed quote | 2–4 weeks |
| One-page website Single scrolling page with contact and WhatsApp | UGX 500,000 – 900,000 | Quoted per project | 1–2 weeks |
| E-commerce store Catalogue, cart, payments, admin panel | UGX 2,000,000 – 10,000,000+ | Quoted per project, no platform fee | 4–8 weeks |
| Booking system or web app Custom features, user accounts, integrations | Varies widely with scope | Quoted per project, fixed before start | 4–8 weeks+ |
| Website redesign Keep the content, rebuild the site | Similar to a new build | Quoted after a free audit | 2–4 weeks |
| Recurring cost | Typical annual amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Domain name | UGX 60,000 – 150,000 per year | A .com is usually cheapest. Ugandan .co.ug domains generally cost more. Register it in your own name. |
| Hosting | UGX 120,000 – 300,000 per year | Shared hosting is enough for most business websites. Stores and systems may need more. |
| SSL certificate | Free | Included with any decent host. If someone charges for it, ask why. |
| Maintenance | Optional, agreed per site | Security updates and small changes. Only pay for the level of change you actually need. |
Two businesses can ask for “a website” and need very different things. These are the factors that move a quote up or down, in roughly the order they matter.
A five-page site with home, services, about, portfolio and contact is the standard business build. Every additional page with its own layout adds design and build time. Pages that share a template, like ten similar service pages, cost far less per page than ten unique ones.
A template is cheaper to start but looks like every other template, often loads slowly and rarely fits your content. Custom design costs more and gives you a site built around what you sell and how customers in Uganda buy.
Online booking, payments, customer accounts, multi-language content, property or product listings and integrations with a POS or accounting system each add work. Be honest about which ones you need on day one and which can wait for a later phase.
Writing the words and sourcing images is real work. If you have text and photos ready, the price falls. If you need copy written and photos taken or generated, the quote should say so instead of assuming you will supply everything.
Proper page titles, structured data, a sitemap, Google Search Console and a linked Google Business Profile should be in the build. Ask whether they are. “SEO included” with no detail usually means nothing was done.
A rush build costs more because other work moves. A normal business website takes 2 to 4 weeks at AG Digital; if you need it in one, say so early.
Send these five things on WhatsApp and you will get a fixed quote, usually the same day: what your business does, the pages or features you need, whether you have text and photos ready, an example of a website you like, and when you need it live. That is enough for an honest number with no hidden extras.

Because quotes describe different things. One quote may cover a template with your logo dropped in and no ownership of the domain. Another covers custom design, copywriting, SEO setup, hosting in your name and training. Ask every developer the same questions: what exactly is included, who owns the domain and hosting, is the price fixed, and what happens after launch. Compare the answers, not just the numbers.
Yes, but know the trade-offs. Do-it-yourself builders and template sites can be cheap to start, then charge monthly fees in US dollars, load slowly on Ugandan networks and rarely rank on Google. A one-page website from a developer can be a sensible low-cost start if it is fast, mobile-friendly and registered in your name.
No. We agree a deposit and balance schedule before starting, and the total is fixed at the quote stage. You are never asked for money that was not on the quote.
Our quotes itemise the domain and hosting separately so you can see exactly what the recurring annual cost is. Both are registered in your name. Beware of packages where the domain is registered by the developer, because you cannot move your website without their cooperation.
No. Google ranks pages on speed, mobile usability, relevance and content, not on what you paid. A well-built UGX 700,000 site with proper titles, structured data and useful content will outrank a slow UGX 5,000,000 site with none of those. What costs more is the ongoing content and authority work needed for competitive keywords.
It depends on how often you need changes. Many small businesses need only security updates and the occasional text change, which we cover with a simple maintenance arrangement agreed after launch. Sites with weekly content, product updates or campaign pages need more, and we quote that honestly rather than bundling a large fee into the build.
