The verdict in three sentences
A corporate B2B website built in Casablanca costs less than in Europe without sacrificing quality: budget MAD 120,000 to 260,000 (about EUR 11,000-24,000) for a premium 25-40 page bilingual FR/AR site. The often-underestimated item is Arabic RTL support and the editorial workflow (+MAD 40,000 to 80,000). A realistic timeline is 8 to 14 weeks, with EU-compliant hosting.
Scope of a premium corporate site
An industrial or financial Casablanca group expects a site that reassures investors, partners and candidates: governance, security, multilingual and performance. FR/AR bilingualism is not just translation: Arabic imposes a right-to-left (RTL) layout that doubles front-end integration work if not anticipated.
Quote breakdown (2026 order-of-magnitude estimate, MAD):
| Item | Range | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate site 25-40 pages | MAD 120,000-260,000 | Premium design, responsive |
| CMS with editorial workflow | +MAD 40,000-80,000 | Roles, validation, audit trail |
| Arabic RTL support | +MAD 25,000-50,000 | Mirror integration, AR typography |
| Content migration | MAD 300-800/page | Depending on media |
| EU-compliant hosting | MAD 1,200-3,500/month | Data residency, backups |
| Corporate maintenance | MAD 4,000-9,000/month | Support, evolutions, security |
A complete bilingual project with workflow sits around MAD 200,000 to 320,000 all in.
Why entrust it to a French-speaking Casablanca agency
For an international buyer, a French-speaking Casablanca agency combines European quality with local costs. Day-rate comparison (2026 estimate):
| Profile | Europe day rate | Casablanca day rate | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project manager | EUR 550-750 | EUR 250-380 | -45 to -55% |
| Senior developer | EUR 500-700 | EUR 220-350 | -45 to -55% |
| UX/UI designer | EUR 450-650 | EUR 200-320 | -50 to -55% |
| Front-end integrator | EUR 400-550 | EUR 180-280 | -50 to -55% |
At equivalent quality and method, the Casablanca day rate is 40 to 55% below the European rate, in the same working time zone as Europe and with native French fluency.
Mini case study
Sarah, COO of an international industrial firm, had a European quote of EUR 75,000 (about MAD 810,000) for a bilingual FR/AR corporate site with workflow. The same scope, entrusted to a French-speaking Casablanca agency: site MAD 220,000 + workflow MAD 60,000 + RTL MAD 40,000 = MAD 320,000 (about EUR 30,000). Saving: ~EUR 45,000, i.e. nearly MAD 490,000, at equivalent quality and governance, with a team reachable during the same hours and in French.

FAQ
Why does Arabic RTL support cost more?
Because Arabic mirrors the entire layout: menus, columns, icons and form fields flip. Without anticipation this doubles front-end integration. Planned from the design stage, the extra cost stays MAD 25,000 to 50,000.
Does the MAD quote include EU hosting?
Hosting is billed separately, MAD 1,200 to 3,500/month for an EU-compliant offer with data residency and backups. Financial groups often require it for GDPR compliance of their European data.
How long to deliver?
8 to 14 weeks for a 25-40 page bilingual site with workflow: 2-3 weeks of design, 4-6 weeks of integration and CMS, 2 weeks of content and RTL, 1-2 weeks of acceptance. AR bilingualism adds 1 to 2 weeks.
What does the MAD 4,000-9,000/month maintenance cover?
Editor support, security updates, minor evolutions and performance monitoring. It does not include content production or marketing campaigns, billed separately.
Can a Casablanca agency serve an international client?
Yes: same time zone as Europe, native French, fluent English and standard collaboration tools. Deliverables, governance and security meet European standards, at a day rate 40 to 55% lower.
