Everyone wants to open an online store, especially after commerce has largely shifted from the street to the screen. But the first step people always ask is: "How much does it cost to design an online store?" Or more precisely: "What exactly does the quote include?"
In Saudi Arabia, quotes vary from company to company, and each person adds details as they see fit. But to illustrate, let me explain the most important things you need to consider in the quote.
1. What type of store do you want?
Before we start with pricing, you need to determine the type of store you want:
• A simple store selling a few handmade products
• A fully integrated store with thousands of products
• A store that includes a mobile app and website
• A store dedicated to a restaurant, a workshop, or a large company
Each type has its own price, and the more details, the higher the price.
2. Items that must be included in the quote
When requesting a quote, you must ensure that the quote includes:
• Full storefront design
• Product and sales control panel
• Customer login system
• Electronic payment gateways (such as Mada, STC Pay, Apple Pay)
• Product page – Cart – Payment – Invoice
• Mobile and tablet compatibility
• Hosting + domain (sometimes additional)
• Post-delivery technical support
If any of these are not included in the quote, you must inquire about it.
3. Does the quote include search engine optimization (SEO)?
Some quotes do not include SEO, while others provide basic optimizations. But if you're planning to appear in Google search results, make sure they add:
• Optimize product titles and descriptions
• Website speed
• Link it to analytics tools (such as Google Analytics)
4. Prices in the Saudi market
Approximately, prices are as follows:
• Simple store (home page + limited products): starting at 2,000 SAR
• Medium-sized store with full features: between 4,000 and 8,000 SAR
• Professional, dedicated store + mobile app: over 10,000 SAR
These are approximate prices, and some companies charge less or more depending on the quality and service.
5. Does the offer include training on how to use the store?
Often, they hand you the store and you take care of it. It's best if the company provides you with a training session or educational videos to help you understand how to add products and track orders.
6. After-sales technical support
Some offers provide technical support for one or three months, after which it becomes a monthly fee. Make sure to address this point, because any bug after launch could cost you many customers if it's not fixed quickly.
7. What about security and updates?
It's important that the quote includes:
• Securing the site with an SSL certificate
• Security updates for the store
• Regular website backups
If the company doesn't mention these points, ask about them, especially if your store contains card data or sensitive information.
The quote for designing an online store must be clear and detailed, covering all your needs from design to delivery. Don't rely solely on price; it's important to examine the quality of service and exactly what the company offers you.
