Website development pricing in Malaysia

A custom-coded website from us starts at RM8,500 as a one-time build, and Care plans from RM300 a month keep it maintained after launch. Across the Malaysian market, a credible SME website costs RM4,000–15,000, template sites start near RM1,500, and corporate builds run RM20,000 and up.

Both of our prices are published below, next to the market rates, so you can compare before you talk to anyone. Every build starts with a free Website Performance & Security Checkup and a written scope sheet.

Why the lowest website quote often costs more

A low website quote usually prices template assembly: a licensed theme, your logo, your text. What it leaves out is the layer search and AI engines read, meaning page structure, schema markup, speed, and security basics. None of those gaps show on launch day.

They show later, as a slow mobile site, pages AI engines cannot cite, plugins nobody updates, or a domain registered in the agency’s name. Fixing them on a template often means rebuilding, so the low quote turns out to be the first of two invoices.

That is why our builds start at RM8,500 and no lower. It is the floor at which we can hand-code the structure, set speed targets, and test properly on mobile. Our Digital Hub walks through the arithmetic in why the lowest website quote often costs more.

What the price covers, and what it doesn’t

A written scope sheet first

Every build is quoted on a one-page scope sheet: what is included, what is not, and add-ons with their prices. The price you sign is the price you pay, and anything new is quoted before the work starts.

You own everything

Your domain, hosting, and code are registered in your name from day one, never held in ours. If we ever part ways, any developer can take over from clean, documented code.

What’s not included

Ongoing SEO and AI visibility work, which is its own monthly plan (see SEO pricing), and advertising, which we don’t offer.

Already on WordPress?

We don’t start new builds on WordPress. If your site already runs on it, we audit it, maintain it under a Care plan, and migrate it to a custom build when the time is right.

Pricing questions, answered straight

Why does a custom website cost more than a template?

A custom website costs more because the work is engineering, not configuration. A template is a licensed theme with your content dropped in. A custom build is hand-coded page structure, schema markup, speed targets, and mobile testing, which is the layer Google and AI engines actually read. That layer also makes the site less costly to grow later, since nothing has to be rebuilt to add it.

What does a Care plan cover?

A Care plan covers the work that keeps a live website safe and fast after launch: security updates, automated backups, performance monitoring, and managed hosting. Plans start at RM300 a month. They cover sites we build and existing sites we take over, including WordPress sites, so an older site is protected while you decide when to rebuild.

Can you rebuild my current WordPress website?

Yes. We migrate existing WordPress websites to custom-coded builds, keeping your content and planning a redirect for every old page, so the search visibility you have already earned is not thrown away. We don't start new builds on WordPress. Until you are ready to move, we can audit and maintain the current site under a Care plan.

What does the free Website Checkup include?

The free Website Performance & Security Checkup is run by hand on your actual site. It covers crawlability, schema, speed, security surface, and mobile integrity, and it arrives within two working days with a 30-minute walkthrough. The findings are yours to keep, there is no charge, and if your site is already solid, we say so.

The Free Website Performance & Security Checkup is run by hand, by our team, on your actual site: crawlability, schema, speed, security surface, and mobile integrity. Delivered within two working days, with a 30-minute walkthrough. If we’re not the right fit, you walk away and the findings stay yours. No charge, no chase. We accept a limited number of checkups each week.

And if the checkup shows your website is already solid, we’ll say so. Your bottleneck would then be visibility, how engines decide who gets named, and that is the other half of what we do.
