The verdict in three sentences
An effective brochure website for an accounting firm costs between 800,000 and 2,200,000 FCFA (about 1,200-3,400 EUR) in 2026 depending on customisation. The winning duo remains a professional blog (tax, OHADA obligations) plus a qualified contact form that turns traffic into meetings. The real lever is not design alone, it is the site's ability to generate qualified SME enquiries every month.
