Website Design in Riyadh: What It Costs, How Long It Takes

The short answer

Website design in Riyadh typically costs between SAR 6,000 and SAR 15,000 for a business website and SAR 15,000 to SAR 45,000 for an e-commerce store, and takes three to six weeks from brief to launch. A quote below that range usually means a pre-made template with the demo content swapped out; a quote well above it should come with an explanation of what the extra buys.

Digital Wasfa designs websites from its Al Malaz, Riyadh office in Arabic and English, with search optimisation, analytics and conversion tracking configured before launch rather than sold as a separate project afterwards.

Your website is usually the first real impression your business makes, and in Saudi Arabia it is increasingly the only one that happens before a customer decides whether to call. Google also weighs speed, mobile experience and page structure when deciding what to rank, so a well-built site is easier to find as well as easier to trust. Those two things are the same investment, which is why treating design and search as separate purchases tends to cost more overall.

Every site we build is judged on three questions. Does it make the right first impression? Does it move a visitor toward calling, buying or submitting a form? And can Google understand and rank it? A site that answers only the first is a brochure, and brochures do not generate enquiries.

Design sits inside a wider stack at Digital Wasfa: the same team also runs the search, paid media and content that send traffic to the site once it is live, which you can see across our digital marketing services. That matters more than it sounds. When the people who built the page also run the ads pointing at it, a two-second load problem is a task rather than an argument between suppliers.

Before You Brief Anyone

Website Design or Website Development: Which Do You Need?

Website design covers how a site looks, reads and guides a visitor. Website development covers what it is built on and what it can do. Most projects need both, but which one leads determines who you should be talking to and what the quote should contain. Here is the honest split.

You need website design

  • The site looks dated, or looks nothing like the quality of your actual business
  • Visitors arrive and leave without calling, and you do not know why
  • The layout breaks on a phone, which is where most Saudi traffic comes from
  • You have a working site but no clear path from landing to enquiry
  • You need an Arabic version that reads properly rather than a mirrored English one

This page is the right starting point. Scope is measured in pages, templates and content.

You need website development

  • You need booking, a member area, a portal, or an integration with existing systems
  • You need a store with inventory, Mada and STC Pay, and ZATCA-compliant invoicing
  • The site is slow for structural reasons, not cosmetic ones
  • You need custom functionality nobody sells off the shelf
  • You have a design already and need it built properly

Start with our website development company in Riyadh page instead. Scope is measured in features and integrations.

If you are still choosing a platform before choosing a supplier, our guide to the best platform for a Saudi business website compares WordPress, Salla, Zid and Shopify against the way Saudi businesses actually operate, and website development cost in Saudi Arabia breaks the numbers down further.

What We Offer

Website Design Services From Digital Wasfa

Five design services covering the situations Saudi businesses actually arrive with, from a first website to a rescue of one that is not working. Each is scoped separately so you are not buying a bundle you do not need.

Business Website Design

A clean, professional and fully responsive site that represents your brand with confidence and gives Google a structure it can rank.

  • Mobile-first, fully responsive layout
  • Fast loading, measured against Core Web Vitals
  • Google Analytics 4 and Search Console connected at launch
  • Internal linking and page structure planned before design starts

E-commerce Website Design

An online store designed around the way Saudi customers actually shop, which is overwhelmingly on a phone, often at night, and increasingly through social.

  • Product catalogue and category structure
  • Mada, STC Pay and HyperPay checkout integration
  • Arabic and English with correct RTL product pages
  • Product schema and conversion tracking configured

Landing Page Design

A single-purpose page for your Google Ads and social campaigns, built to convert rather than to explain everything your company does.

  • One focused call to action, no competing exits
  • Trust elements: reviews, certifications, real photography
  • Sub-two-second load, because ad clicks are paid for twice when pages are slow
  • Built to be A/B tested, not just shipped

WordPress Website Design

A WordPress site your own team can update without calling a developer for every price change, handed over with full ownership and a training session.

  • Custom theme design rather than a purchased template
  • Rank Math or equivalent configured, not just installed
  • Security, backup and update routine set up at handover
  • Admin training recorded so new staff can be onboarded

Website Redesign

A rebuild of an existing site that keeps what is working and fixes what is not, without throwing away the search equity you have already earned.

  • Audit first: which pages already rank and must be preserved
  • Full 301 redirect map so no URL is lost in the move
  • Content migrated and improved rather than copy-pasted
  • Before-and-after benchmarks on speed and conversion

Arabic & Bilingual Design

Arabic-first layout rather than an English design flipped horizontally, which is where most bilingual Saudi sites quietly fall apart.

  • True RTL structure, not CSS mirroring
  • Arabic typefaces chosen for screen legibility
  • Copy written in Arabic, not machine-translated
  • hreflang configured so Google serves the right version
Straight Pricing

What Website Design Costs in Riyadh

Most Saudi agencies will not publish a number, which makes comparing quotes almost impossible. Below are the ranges we actually work within. They are ranges rather than fixed prices because page count, content readiness and language scope move the figure more than anything else, but they should let you sanity-check any quote you receive, including ours.

Project typeTypical rangeTimelineWhat moves the price
Landing page
Single campaign page
SAR 2,500 – 6,0001–2 weeksCustom illustration or photography, A/B variants, form complexity
Business website
5–12 pages
SAR 6,000 – 15,0003–5 weeksPage count, whether copy is supplied or written, Arabic version
E-commerce store
Catalogue and checkout
SAR 15,000 – 45,0006–10 weeksProduct count, payment and shipping integrations, ZATCA invoicing
Website redesign
Existing site rebuilt
SAR 8,000 – 25,0004–8 weeksNumber of URLs to migrate, how much content needs rewriting

Two things worth knowing. Hosting, domain and any premium plugin licences sit outside these figures and typically add SAR 800–3,000 a year. And a genuinely cheap website is usually a template with the demo content replaced, which is a legitimate product at around SAR 2,000–4,000 — just not the same product, and it will not rank without further work. If budget is the constraint, we would rather tell you that than quote you a business site and deliver a template.

How It Works

Our Website Design Process

A clear, structured process from the first conversation to launch, so your project is delivered on time, within budget and exactly as expected.

Discovery & Planning

We discuss your goals, audience and competitors, then plan the structure, pages and content before any design begins.

Design & Prototyping

We create a visual prototype of the homepage and key pages, and refine it with your feedback until the design is approved.

Development & Content

The approved design is built into a working website, with content, images, forms and on-page SEO all set up.

Testing & QA

We test across devices and browsers, checking speed, links, forms and mobile responsiveness before launch.

Launch & Handover

Once approved, we launch and hand over full dashboard and analytics access, with any training you need.

Support & SEO

After launch, ongoing support and SEO keep your site secure, updated and ranking higher over time.

Where We Work

Website Design Across Saudi Arabia

Digital Wasfa designs websites for businesses in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Jubail, Mecca, Medina, Buraydah and across the Kingdom, run from the Riyadh office. Each market buys differently, and the sites reflect that rather than sharing one template with the city name changed.

Riyadh

The capital and the most competitive market in the Kingdom for almost every service category. Clinics, consultancies, real estate and B2B firms here are usually competing against ten well-funded sites, so structure and speed decide the outcome more than styling does.

Jeddah

Retail, hospitality, fashion and trade, with sharply seasonal demand around the pilgrimage and summer calendars. Sites here need to handle traffic spikes without falling over.

Web development in Jeddah →

Mecca

Hotels, travel services and retail operating on a pilgrimage calendar, with visitors searching in far more languages than Arabic and English. Multilingual structure matters here more than anywhere else in the Kingdom.

Web development in Mecca →

Dammam & Khobar

Eastern Province industry, B2B and logistics, plus Khobar's more affluent consumer market. This region has the highest share of English-language search in the country, which changes how the bilingual split should be weighted.

Jubail

Industrial-city B2B around the RCJY zone and the petrochemical supply chain. Buying is procurement-led and long-cycle, so sites need credentials, certifications and downloadable capability documents rather than a booking button.

Buraydah

Al-Qassim's agricultural and trading centre, with a strongly Arabic-first search market. An English-led site with a translated Arabic tab performs badly here.

Frequently Asked

Website Design in Riyadh

How much does website design cost in Riyadh?
Website design in Riyadh typically costs SAR 6,000 to SAR 15,000 for a business website, SAR 2,500 to SAR 6,000 for a single landing page, and SAR 15,000 to SAR 45,000 for an e-commerce store, with hosting and licences adding roughly SAR 800 to SAR 3,000 a year on top. Page count, whether you supply the copy, and whether you need an Arabic version move the figure more than anything else. Digital Wasfa quotes against a written scope after a free consultation, so you can see exactly what sits inside the number.
What is the difference between website design and website development?
Website design covers how a site looks, reads and guides a visitor toward an action, while website development covers what it is built on and what it can do, such as booking systems, member areas, inventory or integrations with your existing software. Most projects need both, but which one leads changes the scope and the quote: design projects are measured in pages and templates, development projects in features and integrations. If your requirement is functionality rather than appearance, our website development company in Riyadh page is the better starting point.
How long does it take to design a website?
A business website takes three to five weeks from brief to launch, a landing page one to two weeks, and an e-commerce store six to ten weeks depending on catalogue size and payment integrations. The single biggest cause of delay is content: projects where copy, product data and images are ready at kick-off finish inside the range, and those waiting on content do not. Digital Wasfa agrees a dated timeline at the start of every project.
Can Digital Wasfa design a website in Arabic?
Yes, Digital Wasfa designs fully bilingual websites with genuine right-to-left Arabic layout, Arabic typefaces chosen for screen legibility, and copy written in Arabic rather than translated from an English draft. This matters because mirroring an English layout produces Arabic pages that read awkwardly and convert poorly, which is the most common flaw we find when auditing existing Saudi sites. hreflang is configured so Google serves the correct language version to each searcher.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my Google rankings?
Yes, and the safeguard is doing the audit before the design rather than after. We first identify which existing pages hold rankings and traffic, then build a complete 301 redirect map so every old URL points to its new equivalent, and migrate content with improvements rather than replacing it wholesale. Rankings usually dip briefly while Google recrawls and then recover; the sites that lose visibility permanently in a redesign are almost always the ones launched without a redirect map.
Will my website be found on Google after it is designed?
Every Digital Wasfa site launches with on-page SEO already in place, including page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, image optimisation, structured data and Search Console connected. That makes the site eligible to rank, but eligibility is not the same as ranking: competitive Riyadh keywords take months of content and authority work on top. A well-built site shortens that timeline considerably; it does not remove it.
What is included in the website design package?
A standard package includes responsive design across devices, on-page SEO setup, Google Analytics 4 and Search Console connection, contact and enquiry forms, speed optimisation, basic structured data, and admin training at handover. Hosting, domain registration, premium plugin licences, ongoing content production and paid stock photography sit outside the package and are quoted separately so you can see what is recurring and what is one-off.
Do you provide website design services outside Riyadh?
Yes, Digital Wasfa designs websites for businesses across Saudi Arabia including Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Jubail, Mecca, Medina and Buraydah, delivered remotely from the Riyadh office with the same scope and standard. The design brief changes by market rather than the quality: Eastern Province clients typically need a heavier English weighting, Buraydah and Al-Qassim clients an Arabic-first build, and Mecca hospitality clients genuine multilingual support.
Do I own the website after it is built?
Yes, you own the website, the domain, the hosting account and all analytics and Search Console properties, and they are registered in your name from the start rather than transferred later. This is worth confirming with any agency you shortlist, because a site held in the agency's accounts is a site you cannot take with you, and that arrangement is common enough in the market to be worth asking about directly.
Do you build on WordPress, Salla or Shopify?
Digital Wasfa builds on WordPress for content-led business sites and on Salla, Zid, Shopify or WooCommerce for stores, choosing the platform against your catalogue size, payment needs and who will maintain it internally. Salla and Zid handle Mada, STC Pay and ZATCA e-invoicing natively, which usually makes them the practical choice for a Saudi retail business, while WordPress gives more control over content and search. Our guide to the best platform for a Saudi business website compares them in detail.
