One of the most common questions we get at 404found.studio is: "Berapa kos nak buat website?" — and for good reason. Prices across Malaysia vary wildly, from RM200 freelance gigs to RM50,000+ agency projects. So what's realistic?
This guide gives you a transparent look at what websites actually cost in Malaysia in 2025, and more importantly, what you're getting for your money.
The Short Answer
Why Prices Vary So Much
A RM300 website from Fiverr and a RM3,500 website from a professional studio might look similar in a screenshot — but the differences are significant under the hood:
- Performance: Professional sites load in under 2 seconds. Cheap templates often score 30–50 on Google PageSpeed.
- SEO structure: Proper heading hierarchy, schema markup, meta tags, and sitemap setup from day one.
- Mobile experience: Genuinely responsive, not just "it technically works on mobile".
- Security: HTTPS, secure forms, no outdated plugins.
- Support: Someone to call when something breaks.
Add-On Costs to Budget For
Domain & Hosting Costs
Separate from development, budget for:
- .com.my domain: ~RM50–80/year
- .com domain: ~RM40–60/year
- Hosting (Cloudflare Pages): Free for most sites
- Hosting (shared/VPS): RM50–300/month if needed
