Two agencies can both say "website for PKR 40,000" and deliver very different things. This guide explains what a fair package in Karachi should include at each level, so you can compare quotes line by line.
| Package | Typical price (PKR) | Should include | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 15,000 to 30,000 | One page, contact form, WhatsApp button, mobile design | New businesses testing an idea |
| Business | 25,000 to 1,00,000 | 5 to 10 pages, custom design, basic SEO, Google Maps, contact forms | Clinics, schools, offices, services |
| Online store | 60,000 to 3,00,000 | Product catalogue, cart, payments or COD, delivery zones, order emails | Clothing, food, retail brands |
| Custom web app | By scope | Logins, dashboards, bookings, integrations | Businesses with their own process |
What every package should include
- Mobile-first design that loads fast on mobile data.
- Page titles and descriptions written for Karachi searches.
- A WhatsApp button and a working contact form tested before launch.
- SSL (the padlock) and a sitemap submitted to Google.
- Domain and hosting registered in your name, with logins handed over.
Hidden costs to ask about
- Yearly domain and hosting renewal after the first year.
- Paid themes or plugins that need a yearly licence.
- Content writing and product photo editing.
- Monthly charges for small changes after launch.
- Payment gateway setup fees from the bank or provider.
A very cheap package is not always bad, but ask whether it is a reused template and whether you own it. Rebuilding a site you do not own costs more than doing it right once.

Questions people ask
What is the cheapest website package in Karachi?
One-page starter sites start around PKR 15,000. They suit testing an idea but usually lack SEO and room to grow.
Does the website price include domain and hosting?
Sometimes for the first year only. Ask what renewal costs from the second year and whose name they are registered in.
Why does an online store cost more than a business website?
A store needs product management, cart, payments or cash on delivery, delivery charges and order notifications, which take more work to build and test.
