How Much Does a Website Cost in Malaysia?
2 Mar 2026 · 7 min read
If you\u2019re a small business owner in Malaysia, you\u2019ve probably Googled \u201chow much does a website cost\u201d at least once. The answers range from \u201cfree\u201d to \u201cRM 50,000+\u201d. The truth? It depends on what you need, who builds it, and how much ongoing work is involved.
Hire a Freelancer (RM 300 \u2013 RM 2,000)
Freelancers are the most common starting point. You can find them on Fiverr, Upwork, or local Facebook groups.
- Basic landing page: RM 300 \u2013 RM 800
- Multi-page business website: RM 800 \u2013 RM 2,000
- WordPress site with customisation: RM 1,000 \u2013 RM 2,000
Affordable, but inconsistent quality. Many freelancers use cheap WordPress themes and just swap in your logo. Timelines slip. And if they disappear after delivery, you\u2019re stuck with a site nobody knows how to maintain. You\u2019ll also pay separately for hosting (RM 100-300/year) and domain renewal (RM 50-100/year).
Hire an Agency (RM 2,000 \u2013 RM 10,000+)
Web design agencies range from small studios to full-service digital firms:
- Small agency, basic site: RM 2,000 \u2013 RM 5,000
- Mid-tier, custom design: RM 5,000 \u2013 RM 10,000
- Premium, full branding + site: RM 10,000 \u2013 RM 50,000+
Professional results, but expensive and often overkill. Timelines are 4-8 weeks. Many lock you into maintenance contracts (RM 200-500/month). For a bakery or salon, spending RM 5,000+ rarely makes sense.
DIY Website Builders (RM 50 \u2013 RM 200/month)
Wix
RM 55 \u2013 RM 155/mo
Squarespace
RM 75 \u2013 RM 185/mo
WordPress
RM 50 \u2013 RM 150/mo
Full control, but building a website yourself takes 10-20+ hours. At RM 100/month, you\u2019re paying RM 1,200/year \u2014 RM 3,600 over 3 years for a site you built yourself. Plus, most Malaysian business owners simply don\u2019t have time to learn a website builder.

- Exabytes: ~RM 900 setup + RM 76/month ongoing
- Shinjiru: RM 1,500 \u2013 RM 3,000 setup + hosting
- Others: RM 500 \u2013 RM 2,000 setup + RM 50-150/month
Over 2 years, an Exabytes package costs RM 900 + (RM 76 \u00d7 24) = RM 2,724. For a template-based website.
