If you’ve ever Googled “website design Malaysia price”, you’ve probably seen everything from RM300 to RM10,000. No wonder so many small business owners are confused!
In this guide, we’ll break down the real cost of building a website in Malaysia — no jargon, no hidden charges — just what you need to know to make the right decision for your business.
Why the Price Gap Is So Big
Here’s the thing — not all websites are created equal. Some are DIY templates. Some are custom-built by agencies with teams of developers, designers, and project managers.
Here’s what usually affects the cost:
- Design approach — Template (cheaper) vs Custom (more tailored, but it can be an overkill for small businesses)
- Number of pages — A one-pager vs a 10-page company site
- Features — WhatsApp integration, booking forms, galleries, multilingual, e-commerce, etc
- Content — Do you already have text & images, or need help writing everything?
- Ongoing support — Who handles updates, backups, and security?
Also important: the experience and target market of the service provider.
Some companies charge more because:
- Their portfolio includes big-name brands
- They’re ISO-accredited or operate internationally
- They mainly serve large enterprises, not SMEs
That’s not a bad thing — but if you’re a growing business, you don’t need to overpay for features you don’t need.
At Solbright, we focus on Malaysian SMEs — and we offer website packages that are affordable, practical, and built for businesses like yours.

What’s Included in the Cost?
A proper website package should include more than just “design.” Here’s what you’re really paying for:
- ✅ Website design & setup
- ✅ Custom domain & secure hosting
- ✅ Mobile-friendly layout
- ✅ Speed optimization & basic SEO setup
- ✅ Contact form / WhatsApp button
- ✅ Content integration (text, images, services, etc)
- ✅ Maintenance
- ✅ Support when things break
With Solbright, all of that is included — we don’t just hand you a pretty website and disappear.
Ongoing Website Costs in Malaysia
Let’s be honest: websites are not a one-time thing. If no one maintains it, it can break, slow down, become obsolete, or even get hacked. Here’s a quick view of annual costs:
- Domain & Hosting: RM200–300/year
- Maintenance & Updates: RM600–1,000/year depending on site complexity
- Additional content updates: As needed
Your first year with Solbright includes all of this for free. Starting year 2, it’s from RM600/year — still super affordable compared to the cost of fixing a broken or outdated site.
Watch Out for Too-Cheap Offers
We get it — RM300 for a “full website” sounds tempting. But cheap jobs often come with:
- ❌ No support or maintenance
- ❌ Risky plugins or illegal themes (which possess security risks)
- ❌ No backups or security
- ❌ Poor SEO and slow loading
- ❌ Disappearing designers
You might end up paying more later to fix or rebuild everything.
Why a Website Is an Investment — Not Just a Cost
A good business website:
- Shows up on Google
- Builds trust with potential customers
- Makes your business look credible
- Works 24/7 to answer questions and generate leads
And here’s the 2025 twist:
Search trends are shifting to generative AI.
People are no longer just typing questions on Google — they’re asking tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini.
Having a proper website improves your chances of being found in AI-generated answers.
No website? You’re invisible.
