A website-making charge is not so expensive in Nepal as compared to developed countries. Cost depends upon the features you wish to add to the website and the technologies you use. Normally it starts from 5-6 thousand to 1 lakh above.
A website can be categorized into three parts according to functions:
i) Static website – normally starts from 7 thousand to 35 thousand depending upon the design.
ii) Dynamic/CMS website – CMS stands for content management website. On the CMS website, you can edit the content of the website on your own. Normally, it starts from 15 thousand to 1 lakh above
iii) Web applications – This type of website has special functions and is made to perform certain types of tasks. For example membership websites, social networking, food delivery, blood bank websites etc. The cost will be below and above 50 thousand depending upon the functions of the site.
A website can be categorized into two parts according to the web development process:
i) Opensource – Opensource is free to use. There are many open-source technologies. In web development also there are many opensource technologies used like Drupal, Joomla, FuelCMS, Grocery CRUD, Concrete5, WordPress and many more. These days WordPress is popular in opensource website CMS. The cost of website setup depends upon content and requirements for customization or plugins etc. Normally WordPress starts from 15 thousand to 60 thousand as mentioned above.
