How much does a website cost in Morocco in 2026?
“How much for a website?” It is the question that comes up every week on WhatsApp, often in four words. And the honest answer always starts the same way: it depends on what you mean by “a website.”
Because between a single page thrown onto a 1,500 MAD template and a custom site that climbs to Google’s first page, there is a factor of twenty. Both are called “a website.” They have nothing in common.
Here are the real ranges in Morocco in 2026, what moves them, and — above all — the two traps that cost you dearly, in both directions.
The range, no detours
Let us start with the numbers, that is why you are here. Build price, excluding yearly fees (more on those below):
| Type of site | Range (MAD) | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Express template — 1 page, junior freelancer | 1,500 – 4,000 | Testing, a minimal presence |
| Pro brochure site — 3 to 6 pages, experienced freelancer | 4,000 – 12,000 | Most SMBs, restaurants, salons |
| Agency brochure site | 12,000 – 30,000 | Established brand, high finish |
| E-commerce or online booking | 15,000 – 60,000+ | Selling or booking directly online |
If you run a restaurant in Casa, a salon in Gauthier or a practice in Rabat, you are almost always on the second line. A clean, fast brochure site that builds trust and shows up on Google — that is your real need. Not a 40,000 MAD portal.
Why such a gap?
Four things push the bill up — or down. None of them is a detail.
1. Custom or template
A template is an off-the-rack suit you tailor a little. It is fast, it is fine, and it shows: you are not the only restaurant in town who bought it. Custom means a design built for you — your atmosphere, your dishes, your neighbourhood. It takes extra days of work. It costs more.
2. The number of pages and content
A home page is one thing. A page per service, a menu, a gallery, an SEO blog, pages per neighbourhood... every page means more design, more copy and more SEO. A site is not sold by the square metre, but almost.
3. Who writes the copy and takes the photos
The silent trap. Many “cheap” quotes assume you provide the text and the photos. But photos shot on a phone under a neon light ruin the finest of sites. Good content — decent photos, copy that makes people want to come — is often what separates a site that converts from a pretty, dead business card.
4. SEO
A site no one finds on Google is a billboard at the back of a garage. SEO — structure, speed, keywords, Google listing, local content — takes real work. When it is not in the quote, it is not free: it just is not done.
What no one puts on the invoice
The build price is not the total cost. Three lines come back every year, and they are normal:
- The domain name (your .ma or .com): around 100 to 200 MAD a year. Nothing dramatic, but it is yours — keep control of it.
- Hosting: from 300 to 1,500 MAD a year depending on the solution. It is what keeps the site online, fast and secure.
- Maintenance: updates, backups, small tweaks. Either you pay for it (a plan or on demand), you do it yourself, or the site ages badly.
The reflex to have
Always ask who owns the domain name and the hosting. If the answer is “the developer,” you are renting your own site. Insist that everything is in your name. That is non-negotiable.
The 1,000 MAD trap
Tempting, especially when you are starting out. The problem is not the price, it is what it hides. At 1,000 MAD, no one spends three days on your SEO, writes your copy, or comes back to fix a bug six months later. You get a template online, full stop.
The scenario is always the same: the site exists, no one finds it, the “developer” stops replying, and a year later you pay again to redo it properly. Cheap costs twice.
The opposite trap: 40,000 MAD for a brochure site
At the other end, some agencies bill a five-page brochure site like a corporate project: endless meetings, a project manager, a quote that swells with every exchange. For a restaurant or a salon, that is paying for a structure you do not need. A beautiful, well-optimised brochure site does not justify an industrial SME budget.
The right question is neither “the cheapest” nor “the most prestigious.” It is: what should this site bring you, and who actually does the work that matters?
Our own range
At Muji Lab, we build brochure sites for SMBs, restaurants and salons — mobile-first, fast, and ranked on their city from day one. Our demos speak louder than any pitch: Chez Muji, our demo restaurant, shows up among the top Google results in Casablanca.
A site like that sits in the “pro brochure” range of the table, without the useless agency overhead. And before talking numbers, we look at your case: a quote is free, and it takes five minutes.

The right price is not the lowest one advertised. It is the one where you know exactly what you are paying for: the design, the content, the SEO, and who handles it the day something breaks.
A well-built site is not a one-off expense you put up with. It is a salesperson working for you, day and night, without a salary. As long as you do not buy it on the cheap. Or pay for it like a factory.
Frequently asked questions
Is a cheaper site necessarily a bad site?
No, but be wary of what is left unsaid. A low price often hides the absence of SEO, written content or follow-up. Always ask what is included, in writing.
Do I have to pay something every month?
Not necessarily a subscription, but yearly fees exist: domain name and hosting, a few hundred dirhams a year. Maintenance is optional but recommended.
How long to get my site?
A well-built brochure site usually takes one to three weeks, depending on the number of pages and how quickly we get your content and photos.
Is Google SEO included in the price?
It depends on the provider — and that is THE question to ask. With us, basic local SEO — structure, speed, Google listing, content per city — is part of the site, not a costly add-on.
