What affects the price
Design complexity
A custom design crafted for your brand costs more than adapting a template — but it is what makes visitors remember you.
Number of pages & languages
More pages and multilingual content (English, Bahasa Melayu, Chinese) mean more design, writing and testing work.
Features & integrations
Booking forms, payment gateways, live chat, CRM connections and member areas each add development time.
Content creation
Professional copywriting, photography and product images can be included or provided by you — this affects the quote significantly.
SEO & speed setup
Proper titles, structured data, sitemap, fast hosting and image optimisation help Google find and rank your site.
Support & maintenance
Updates, backups, security patches and small changes after launch are usually covered by a monthly or yearly plan.
Ongoing costs after launch
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Domain name (.my / .com) | RM 50 – 150 / year |
| Website hosting | RM 300 – 1,500 / year |
| Maintenance & updates | RM 100 – 500 / month (optional) |

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Malaysia?
A basic business website in Malaysia typically costs RM 1,500–5,000, a custom company website RM 5,000–15,000, and an e-commerce website RM 8,000–30,000 or more. Custom web applications and systems usually start from RM 20,000. The final price depends on design complexity, features, content and integrations.
Why do website prices vary so much between agencies?
Price differences come from what is included: custom design versus templates, copywriting, photography, SEO setup, multilingual content, hosting quality, security, and after-launch support. A RM 1,500 template site and a RM 15,000 custom site are very different products — always compare scope, not just price.
Are there ongoing costs after my website launches?
Yes. Expect a domain name at around RM 50–150 per year, hosting at RM 300–1,500 per year, and optional maintenance plans for updates, backups and security. E-commerce sites may also have payment gateway and plugin fees.
How long does it take to build a website?
A basic business website typically takes 1–3 weeks. A custom company website 3–6 weeks. E-commerce and custom systems can take 6–12 weeks or more depending on features, content readiness and feedback speed.
Should I choose the cheapest option?
Not necessarily. Very cheap websites often skip mobile optimisation, speed, security and SEO — which means Google may never show your site to customers. A well-built website is an asset that brings inquiries for years; a poorly built one often needs to be rebuilt within a year.
Does NAX provide a fixed quote before starting?
Yes. After a short discussion about your goals and requirements, NAX provides a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden fees — so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.
