A website quote should tell you what you are buying, not just give you a number. Two businesses in Ibadan can both ask for a website and receive very different prices because one needs a focused company site while the other needs products, payments, content support, or a more complex customer journey.
Drey Studio price context
A useful business website starts with the right scope.
Drey Studio's published starting price for a Corporate website is ₦200,000. An E-commerce website starts from ₦350,000. Projects with deeper content needs, custom workflows, dashboards, or integrations are priced to scope.
Those are starting prices for Drey Studio projects, not a flat rate for every developer in Ibadan. The final proposal should reflect the pages, content, functionality, and support your business needs.

Price matters. But a low quote is only useful if it covers the work required to launch a website that represents your business properly and gives visitors a clear next step.
Before requesting a quote, decide what the website needs to help you do. That one conversation makes the estimate more accurate and makes it easier to compare proposals fairly.
Website scope planner
Bring these five answers to a website conversation
- Your main goal. Do you need more enquiries, a clearer company profile, online sales, bookings, property enquiries, or something else?
- Your core pages. List the pages people will expect to find, such as services, products, about, projects, contact, or a blog.
- What visitors should do. They may need to call, send a WhatsApp message, request a quote, book an appointment, or pay online.
- What you already have. This includes your logo, copy, photos, product details, brand guide, and existing domain.
- What happens after launch. Decide who will manage hosting, updates, product changes, maintenance, and marketing.
What type of website are you paying for?
The website type changes the amount of planning, design, and development involved. A simple enquiry site is not the same project as an online store or a custom business tool.
| Website type | Best for | What usually changes the scope |
|---|---|---|
| Focused landing page | One service, campaign, event, or offer | Copy, design direction, forms, and any required integrations |
| Business or corporate website | Companies and professional services that need a credible online presence | Page count, service information, content, case studies, and enquiry routes |
| E-commerce website | Businesses selling products online | Products, categories, payment setup, delivery rules, stock, and order handling |
| Property or portfolio website | Real estate, construction, creative, and project-led businesses | Listing structure, image preparation, filters where needed, and enquiry flow |
| Custom web application | Businesses replacing a manual process with software | User accounts, data, roles, dashboards, integrations, and testing |
If you are unsure which route fits, start with the business action you want visitors to take. The right website is the one that supports that action without making the experience harder than it needs to be.
What changes the price?
Pages and content
A five-page business website takes a different amount of work from a site with several services, industries, locations, resources, or portfolio entries. The content matters too. When copy, photos, product information, and brand assets are ready, the project can move faster. When they need to be created or organised, that should be included in the scope.
Design direction
A template-led site and a custom design are different approaches. A template can suit a focused project with straightforward needs. A custom route gives more room to shape the page structure, visual identity, and user journey around a particular business.
Functionality
Contact forms and WhatsApp links are relatively straightforward. Online payments, product variants, appointment booking, customer accounts, dashboards, calculators, and connections to other systems need more planning and testing.
Content and search foundations
Clear page titles, headings, internal links, mobile layouts, image handling, and page structure should be considered before launch. That is different from promising search rankings. It is the foundation a business needs before it begins ongoing SEO or content work.
Support after launch
Ask what happens when you need a text update, a new product, a technical fix, or a new page. A site can be delivered and handed over, or it can include an agreed support period. Those are different arrangements and should be clear in the proposal.
What should a website proposal include?
A proposal does not need to be long to be useful. It does need to remove uncertainty. Before paying a deposit, make sure you can see the following in writing.
| Ask to see | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Pages and main sections | You know what information the website will cover and what sits outside the current scope. |
| Design approach | You can tell whether the project uses an adapted template or a custom design process. |
| Functionality | Forms, payments, booking, product features, and integrations should be named clearly. |
| Content responsibility | It should be clear who supplies copy, photos, product details, and brand assets. |
| Timeline and review stages | You know when feedback is needed and how the project moves from first draft to launch. |
| Revisions and support | You avoid confusion about what changes are included before and after launch. |
| Domain, hosting, and ownership | You know who controls essential accounts and what must be renewed later. |
A clear scope protects both sides. It gives you a better basis for comparing price and gives the developer a better basis for building the right thing.
Budget for the costs after launch
The build is usually the largest upfront cost, but it is not the only cost of running a website. Your business may also pay for a domain, hosting, business email, maintenance, and, for an online store, payment processing.
- Domain: This is the address people type into a browser. At the time this guide was updated, WhoGoHost listed a .com.ng domain at ₦6,450 to register and ₦7,200 to renew, while a .com was listed at ₦24,000. Check the live price before paying because provider prices can change.
- Hosting: This keeps the site available online. Ask whether hosting is included in the first year, what renewal costs are, and whether backups, email, and SSL are included in the plan.
- Payment processing: For e-commerce, the payment provider charges per transaction. Paystack currently lists 1.5% plus ₦100 for Nigerian local transactions, capped at ₦2,000, with the ₦100 fee waived below ₦2,500. Those charges belong to operating an online store, not to the initial website build.
- Maintenance and updates: A brochure site may need occasional updates. An active store, property site, or custom tool can need more regular support.
How to compare two website quotes
When two proposals are different, do not start with the total at the bottom. Compare what each one says about the work.
- Match the pages. Are both developers pricing the same number of pages and the same level of content support?
- Match the functionality. Check whether forms, payments, product setup, booking, or integrations are included in both proposals.
- Check ownership. Make sure you know who owns the domain, hosting account, design files where relevant, and website access after launch.
- Check the handover. Ask what happens when you need a future update and whether you will receive the access you need.
- Look at relevant work. A developer should be able to show projects with a similar level of complexity or a similar business goal.
Cheap can be sensible for a small, simple project. It becomes expensive when important work was never included and has to be added later under pressure.
What should an Ibadan business prioritise?
Start with the people you need to reach and the action they should take. A school may need parents to find information quickly. A professional firm may need to explain its expertise and make consultations easy to request. A real estate business may need people to review a property and ask for an inspection. A store needs customers to find products, trust the details, and complete a purchase.
Those are different jobs, so they lead to different website structures. That is why Drey Studio begins with the business goal before deciding what pages or features belong in the project.

Get a price that matches the work
A useful website price is not the cheapest figure in a WhatsApp message. It is a clear agreement about what your business needs, what will be built, and what happens after the site goes live.
If you can describe your goal, core pages, features, and content situation, you are ready for a more useful website conversation.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a business website cost in Ibadan?
Drey Studio's published Corporate website price starts from ₦200,000. The final cost depends on the pages, content, design approach, functionality, and support the project needs. An e-commerce website starts from ₦350,000 because it requires additional product and payment work.
Does the website price include domain and hosting?
It depends on the proposal. Ask whether domain registration, hosting, business email, SSL, and renewals are included. If they are included for the first year, ask what they will cost after that.
Why do website quotes vary so much?
Quotes vary because the scope varies. Two projects can both be called a business website while one includes five pages and a contact form, and the other includes content support, custom design, online payments, or a larger structure.
Can I start with a smaller website and improve it later?
Yes. A focused first version can make sense when it covers the most important information and gives visitors a clear way to contact you. The initial structure should leave room for sensible future additions.
Can Drey Studio work with businesses outside Ibadan?
Yes. Drey Studio is based in Ibadan and works remotely with businesses across Nigeria.
