How much does a website cost in Morocco?

These are the four ROSH™ Company Labs packages and their prices, as the website design page lists them. Each price is published in US dollars and in Moroccan dirhams, so a restaurant owner in Casablanca and a client abroad read the same figure.

For a company that needs a full presence, the cost of a business website in Morocco with ROSH™ Company Labs is $299 / MAD 2990: four to six pages, including Home, About, Services and Contact, with a blog set up and a basic CMS if you want to edit the texts yourself. A single offer, an event or a product launch only needs the landing page. If customers will pay on the site, it is the e-commerce package. Dashboards, several languages, connections to other software and other tailored features belong in the custom build.

Two things the table does not show, because the service page does not show them either. No package lists a domain name, hosting or a maintenance plan, so ask about each of them in writing when you request a quote. And no package carries a fixed delivery time: the timeline comes with the quote, once the scope is clear.

A website is priced by the work it takes, not by its label. Two sites that both look like five pages can be weeks apart in effort. These are the six things that move the figure, and you control most of them.

• The number of pages. Every page needs a structure, a design, its own text and images, and its own title and description for search engines. That is why a 1–2 section landing page and a 4–6 page business website are separate packages.
• Custom design or a ready-made template. A template is a finished layout that you fill in. A custom design is drawn around your brand and your customers. The ROSH™ Company Labs process starts with planning and wireframes before any visual design, which is the custom route.
• Content and photos. This is the part owners underestimate most. If you arrive with written texts and real photos of your premises, team or products, the work goes faster. If everything has to be written or found, it takes longer, and stock photos rarely look like a pharmacy in Agadir or a riad in Marrakech.
• Features. A contact form is simple. A booking calendar, customer accounts, an online shop, a link to your stock or your CRM, or a second and third language each add design, development and testing.
• SEO groundwork. Titles, descriptions, headings, image descriptions, schema basics and a clean structure take time to do properly. Every ROSH™ Company Labs package includes these fundamentals; on a stripped-down quote, check that they are still there.
• Speed. Compressed images, lean code and a careful setup let a page load quickly on a phone over mobile data. Google says it uses the mobile version of a site's content for indexing and ranking, so the phone version is the one that counts.

The practical lesson: the surest way to lower a quote is not to haggle. Drop the pages nobody will read, prepare your own texts and photos, and keep advanced features for a second phase, once the site has proved it is worth growing.

The package price pays for designing and building the site. Keeping a website online brings running costs as well, and a quote that shows only the first number tells you half the story. Before you accept any offer, get an answer on each line of this table.

The domain. A .ma name is sold only through registrars accredited by the ANRT, the national telecoms regulator that manages the .ma extension. It is registered for the period you request, from one to five years, and the registry states that each registrar sets its own .ma prices, so there is no single public figure: compare the renewal price, not only the first year. A .com is registered through one of the registrars accredited by ICANN, or through their resellers. For a .ma, the registry's conditions give the holder exclusive use of the name during its validity period, which is why the renewal date matters as much as the price.

Hosting. Hosting keeps your site online and is paid monthly or yearly. What it costs depends on the kind of hosting and on how much the site has to handle: a fast static site needs little, while a shop with a database and customer accounts needs more. One legal detail is often missed. If your site stores personal data, such as form messages or customer accounts, on servers located abroad, the CNDP's guidance for websites lists a request for transfer abroad as part of the notification. Ask your host where its servers are.

Email. An address such as contact@yourbusiness.ma inspires more confidence than a free mailbox. It is usually a separate subscription from the website, and it depends on the same domain, so the domain's renewal date matters twice.

The security certificate. The padlock and the https in the address bar come from a certificate, and it no longer needs to be a real expense: Let's Encrypt, for example, describes itself as a free, automated and open certificate authority. What matters is that someone installs it and checks that it renews.

Maintenance. A site built on a CMS needs its software and extensions updated, backups kept and problems repaired. A static site needs less, but your business still changes: new prices, a new service, a second branch in Tangier. None of the four packages lists a maintenance plan, so if you want one, ask for it to be quoted separately and in writing. If you would rather make small edits yourself, say so at the start: the Business Website package can be delivered with a basic CMS for exactly that.

Some owners also budget for visibility after launch: advertising, SEO work or regular content. That is a separate decision from the website itself. At ROSH™ Company Labs the growth and marketing plans start at $149 / MAD 1490, and no website package is sold on a promise of traffic.

When you compare a very cheap offer with the packages on this page, look past the design to what the lower price might leave out. Check these points on every quote you receive, ours included.

• The domain in your name. The holder named in the registration is the one with rights over the domain. For a .ma, the registry's conditions give the holder exclusive use during the validity period; for a .com, ICANN states that the name holder has the right to move the domain between registrars. If a provider registers your domain in its own name, you are renting your own address. Ask to see the holder details, and keep the transfer code: ICANN calls it the Auth-Code, and the .ma registry issues a confidential Authorization Code for each name.
• Access to your own site. You should hold the logins for the domain, the hosting and the CMS, or receive the files themselves. A ROSH™ Company Labs launch ends with clean files handed over, and you keep full ownership of what is built for you.
• Security updates. A site that is never updated collects problems. Ask who updates it, how often, and who you call if it is hacked.
• Speed on a real phone. Open any site you are shown on your own phone, over mobile data rather than office Wi-Fi. Google's PageSpeed Insights reports on the user experience of a page on mobile and desktop and suggests improvements; try it on the provider's own portfolio.
• SEO basics. Titles, descriptions, headings and image descriptions. Without them, search engines have very little to work with.
• Real content. A template filled with placeholder text and stock photos is not a finished website. Ask who writes the texts, and in which languages.
• The legal basics. A contact form collects personal data. The CNDP, Morocco's data-protection authority, says that a website operator collecting personal data must notify it and inform visitors. A low price does not move that obligation: it sits with you, the site owner.
• A way out. Some platforms make leaving difficult. Ask what happens to your site, your content and your domain if you stop paying.

A cheap site can be sensible as a test: one page, your own domain, your own accounts. It stops being sensible when it becomes the thing customers judge your business by.

There are several ways to get a website made in Morocco, and each is right for someone. There is no fair market price we could quote for them, so this comparison is about what you get and what can go wrong, not about amounts.

Doing it yourself is a real option. WordPress is open-source software that its own website describes as free, for anyone comfortable arranging their own hosting and domain. Hosted shop platforms work differently: Shopify, for example, sells its plans as monthly or yearly subscriptions. Before you choose any platform, read its pricing page to the end, including the fees and what happens to your site when you stop paying.

Whichever route you take, judge the offer on three things: sites the person has really built that you can open on your phone, a written scope with a fixed price, and a clear answer on who will own the domain, the hosting account and the files. You can open the projects built by the studio and judge ROSH™ Company Labs the same way.

Many Moroccan businesses need a site that speaks to more than one audience: French for many business contacts, Arabic for a wide public, English for tourism, export and foreign partners. Doing that properly is closer to building three sites that share a design than to pressing a translate button.

Arabic is where most of the extra work sits. It reads from right to left, so the layout must be mirrored: menus, arrows, icons, forms and tables. The W3C, the body that writes web standards, advises declaring right-to-left direction on the page's html element and not applying the base direction with CSS. Mixed lines need care as well: a brand name in Latin letters or a price inside an Arabic sentence can jump to the wrong side unless the code handles it. And the fonts must stay readable in Arabic at small sizes on a phone.

Search engines add their own rules. Google recommends a separate address for each language version rather than switching the language with cookies or browser settings, hreflang annotations to connect the versions, visible links between the languages, and no automatic redirect from one language to another. Each version also needs its own titles and descriptions, written for the words people type in that language.

Then there is the writing. A good French page translated word for word into Arabic still reads like a translation. Budget for writing each language, not only translating it, and decide who will check each version before launch.

On the ROSH™ Company Labs price list, multi-language work sits in the Custom / Advanced Build at $799 / MAD 7990. If you need French, Arabic and English, say so in your first message so the quote covers all three from the start. The site you are reading runs in all three languages, with right-to-left Arabic pages.

The e-commerce package is $499 / MAD 4990 and lists product pages and categories, a cart and checkout with payment integration, shipping presets and SEO fundamentals. The harder question is how your customers will pay, because part of that decision is made with a bank or a payment provider, not only with a web developer.

Cash on delivery. Many Moroccan shoppers prefer to pay the delivery person rather than type a card number online, so many shops offer it. It needs no card-payment contract, but it creates its own work: confirming orders, parcels refused at the door, and collecting the cash through the delivery company. The site then needs a short, clear order form and a quick way to confirm each order, often by phone or WhatsApp.

Online card payment. To take cards on your own site you need a merchant agreement with an acquirer. For years that meant the CMI, the interbank card centre: its e-commerce page describes an online card-payment platform for local and international cards and directs merchants to its partner acquirers. The market has since opened. In October 2024 the Conseil de la concurrence made binding the CMI's commitment to transfer its merchant contracts, online payment included, to payment institutions or the banks' acquiring subsidiaries, and since 1 May 2025 those companies can operate on the card-acquiring market. In practice, start with your own bank: ask which acquirer and payment gateway it offers for an online shop, and which documents it needs.

The CMI's page also describes 3-D Secure, the step where the buyer enters a secret code before the payment is authorised. Test that step with your own card before launch, on a phone as well as on a computer.

If you are considering a hosted shop platform, check its payment options for Morocco first. Shopify's help centre, for example, lists the countries where Shopify Payments is available; Morocco is not among them, and businesses elsewhere need a third-party payment provider, which Shopify's pricing page says may carry third-party transaction fees.

Many shops end up offering both: cash on delivery for customers who want it, cards for those who prefer them. Plan the checkout so both are possible, even if card payment is switched on later. Selling online also brings consumer-protection rules, which the step-by-step guide linked at the end of this page covers.

A vague request gets a vague price. Whoever you ask, send these points in one message and you will get a figure you can compare.

1. What the business does, in two sentences, and the city or cities you serve.
2. The goal of the site: calls, WhatsApp messages, bookings, online sales, or credibility with partners and banks.
3. The pages you think you need, even as a rough list.
4. The languages: French, Arabic, English, or a mix.
5. The features: contact form, booking, product catalogue, payments, customer accounts, links to other tools.
6. Your content: which texts and photos already exist, and what must be created.
7. Two or three websites you like, and what exactly you like about them.
8. Your domain and hosting situation: already owned or not, and in whose name.
9. Your deadline, and whether it is fixed.
10. Your budget range. It saves both sides time.

Then read the quote you receive against the same list. Is the domain registered in your name? Who holds the hosting account? What is included, and what will cost extra later? What happens after launch? A good provider answers all of this in writing without being asked twice.

The four packages above are the complete website design price list. Choose the one closest to your project; larger projects are scoped with the Custom / Advanced Build. Every build includes the same SEO fundamentals: meta titles and descriptions, proper headings, schema basics, image alt text and performance tuning. At launch the site is deployed and checked, clean files are handed over, and you keep full ownership of what is built for you.

The work follows five steps: planning and UX strategy, wireframes and prototypes, UI design, development and performance, then SEO fundamentals and launch. Send your project and you get back a process outline, a timeline and a quote, usually within 24 hours. The quote itself costs nothing.

If you already have a website and are not sure it needs replacing, start with the free website audit. A person reviews five points by hand — speed, mobile experience, SEO basics, trust and conversion, technical health — and tells you what to fix first, usually within 24 hours, with no obligation. Sometimes the honest answer is that your site needs repairs, not a rebuild. And if a free Google Business Profile is all you need for now, you will hear that as well.

Know who you are dealing with. ROSH™ Company Labs is an independent brand in Morocco, owned and led by Redouane, and not a registered company. It issues no tax invoice: no facture, no ICE. If your company needs an invoice for its accounts, choose a registered provider; that matters more than any saving. Orders are at the client's own risk, so ask every question before you pay. ROSH™ Company Labs is not affiliated with Google, the CMI, Shopify or any other organisation named on this page.

To start, send the checklist above through the contact page or on WhatsApp, or read the website design page for the full package details.
