How much does a business website cost in the Philippines?
Quotes range from tens of thousands of pesos to several hundred thousand. Here is what actually moves the price, and how to compare quotes fairly.

If you have asked three people for a website quote, you probably got three very different numbers. That is normal. The price depends far more on what is being built than on who is building it.
What published prices look like
Few providers publish prices, so any range is a snapshot, not a rule. One Makati agency, Designblue Manila, published a breakdown in May 2026 that puts a template or freelancer site at roughly ₱50,000 to ₱100,000, a small-agency site at ₱100,000 to ₱250,000, and custom boutique or enterprise work at ₱250,000 and up. Those figures describe that agency's view of the market. Treat them as one reference point, and check them against quotes you receive.
What actually moves the price
Driver | Why it changes the cost |
|---|---|
Number and type of pages | Ten distinct page layouts take more design and build time than ten pages using the same layout. |
Custom design versus template | A designed layout fitted to your brand takes longer than adapting a ready-made theme. |
Functionality | Booking, payments, member areas, integrations and multilingual content each add build and testing time. |
Content | Writing, photography and product data are often the slowest part. Who supplies them matters. |
Content management | Being able to edit pages and publish articles yourself requires an admin area that is set up and tested. |
After launch | Hosting, security updates, backups and changes are ongoing work, whether you pay for them or do them. |
How to compare quotes fairly
Ask for a written scope. Pages, features, revisions and what you must supply should all be listed.
Check what is excluded. Copywriting, photos, hosting and ongoing support are common gaps between a cheap quote and a complete one.
Ask who owns the result. You should own your domain, content and files.
Ask what happens after launch. Who fixes problems, and what does that cost?
A better question than "how much?"
Ask what the site needs to do for the business: bring in inquiries, take bookings, support sales calls. Then ask what the smallest site is that does that well. A focused five-page site that converts is worth more than a large one that does not.

If you would like a scope and quote for your own project, tell me what the site needs to do and what you have already. I will reply with questions or a suggested scope.
