LankaRank Website prices
Price guide
A simple business website typically costs Rs 45,000 from a Sri Lankan design studio, Rs 20,000 from a freelancer, or Rs 1,000–10,000 a year if you build it yourself. Add the domain and hosting, which you pay every year. Many offers include them for the first year only.
It depends mostly on who builds it. These are typical starting prices for a small business website in October 2026, for the first year. Typical means the middle price: half charge less and half charge more.

From Rs 15,000 to Rs 150,000 for their cheapest package, and typically Rs 45,000. Few studios publish prices at all: of the 39 web design businesses in Rainbow Pages with a website, 5 showed a price. The rest quote on request.

| Typical (middle) price The middle price: half charge less and half charge more. Unlike an average, a few very cheap or very expensive offers can't pull it up or down. Half of the 14 charge Rs 45,000 or less | Rs 45,000 |
Every studio we found that publishes a price, cheapest first. Prices are from each studio's own website, checked 13 October 2026.
Usually under Rs 30,000. 6 of the 14 studios sell a one-page or landing-page site, and 4 of them charge less than Rs 30,000. Their prices: Rs 15,000, Rs 18,500, Rs 24,999, Rs 45,000, Rs 59,900, "under Rs 30,000". On Fiverr, a landing page from a Sri Lankan seller typically costs US$85 (about Rs 28,100).
For most small businesses, one page is enough if it says what you do, where you are and how to reach you, and lets a customer on a phone call or message you in one tap.
Pages, a mobile layout and a contact form, but often not the things that bring customers in. Of the 14 cheapest published packages, 4 mention a WhatsApp button, 4 a Google Maps link and 1 business details for Google. 4 include the domain and hosting, for the first year only.
You can see the gap on live sites. When LankaRankBot, our checker, read 1,246 working Sri Lankan business websites, 76% had no WhatsApp button, 41% had no Google Maps link and 62% gave Google no business details. Most studios will add these if you ask, so ask for each one by name before you agree a price.
Typically Rs 20,000 on ikman, and a third of sellers (9 of 27) start at Rs 10,000 or less. We read every website-building ad on ikman.lk and counted each seller's starting price once, because one seller had posted 76 of the 124 ads.
| Where | Lowest | Typical | Top quarter from | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ikman.lk 27 sellers | Rs 2,500 | Rs 20,000 | Rs 35,000 | Rs 150,000 |
| Fiverr, Sri Lankan sellers 120 gigs | US$10 | US$80 | US$100 | US$900 |
ikman ads posted up to two months before 13 October 2026; e-commerce, POS and tuition ads left out. Fiverr: the first page of four searches, cheapest package, before Fiverr's buyer fee; these sellers mostly work for overseas clients. A free .com domain and hosting for the first year is common; the price after that is almost never stated.
Studios rarely publish online-shop prices; they quote on request. Sri Lankan shop builders do publish theirs, from Rs 2,499 a month, and two have a free plan for a small catalogue.
| Builder | Free plan | Paid plans |
|---|---|---|
| Sri Lankan shop builder | Free for up to 10 products | Rs 2,499–4,999 a month |
| Sri Lankan shop builder | Free for up to 15 products | Rs 3,990–7,500 a month |
| Telecom-run shop builder | No free plan | Rs 7,000 a month |
Yes, if you build it yourself. With your own domain, a one-page site costs about Rs 1,000–10,000 a year. Even the .lk domain registry now runs a free website builder.

Free sites can disappear. Google shut down its free Business Profile websites in 2024, and of the 65 business.site addresses we found in Sri Lankan directories, 53 no longer worked.
From Rs 1,000 a year for a .lk address, plus hosting unless your builder includes it. You pay these every year, no matter who builds the site. The domain prices below are the LK Domain Registry's, VAT included, as shown on LankaHost's .lk price list. LankaHost charges less for a name.lk in the first year: Rs 3,500, then Rs 4,000 a year. See .lk domain prices for which address to choose.
| What you pay for | Each year |
|---|---|
| .lk Budget domain (name.com.lk, name.web.lk…)Your website's address, such as yourbusiness.lk. You rent it a year at a time, and it should always be registered in your name. | Rs 1,000 |
| .lk Economy domain (name.lk) | Rs 5,000 |
| .lk Standard domain (name.lk plus .com.lk and others) | Rs 8,000 |
| Shared hostingThe computer that stores your website and keeps it online, so people can open it at any time. It's usually paid for every year. | Rs 4,000–20,000 |
| Business email | Free (up to 5 users) to Rs 3,000 |
Five questions prevent most of the trouble we see on Sri Lankan business websites.
Already have a website? Our free check shows what's stopping customers from finding you or getting in touch, and warns you if your address has expired or been taken over. Check your website free and see how it compares with 1,246 Sri Lankan business sites.
Shared hosting for a small business website costs about Rs 4,000–20,000 a year after the first year, which many website offers include free. The domain is extra: from Rs 1,000 a year for a name.com.lk address, or Rs 5,000 for name.lk, at the LK Domain Registry's prices. Prices checked 13 October 2026.
The number of pages, who writes the words and takes the photos, whether it's built on WordPress or coded by hand, and what's bundled. Many cheap offers include the domain and hosting for the first year only, so compare what you'll pay in the second year too.
Published packages promise anything from 2 days to 2 weeks. On Fiverr, Sri Lankan sellers' typical delivery time is 3 days. Most of the wait is usually for the owner's text and photos.
About the same as any other small business website: the price depends on the number of pages and what's included, not the platform. WordPress is the most common choice. 49% of the working Sri Lankan business websites we checked ran on it, and it's the platform Sri Lankan sellers on Fiverr name most often.
There's no independent ranking, so judge a designer by what they put in writing: a clear price, the domain registered in your name, the hosting price from the second year, and live sites that open quickly on a phone and let you call or WhatsApp the business in one tap.
For many small businesses, a complete Google Business Profile comes first. A website earns its keep when customers can reach you from it in one tap and it keeps working. In our check of 2,061 websites listed in Sri Lankan business directories, 20% had expired, and 76% of the working ones had no WhatsApp button.
