The verdict in three sentences
A construction showcase website of 8-15 pages costs between 1,500,000 and 4,500,000 FCFA (about 2,300-6,900 EUR) in 2026, depending on finish and the number of projects to present. The projects reference section (+500,000 to 1,200,000 FCFA) and a structured tender form are the assets that reassure public and private clients. Plan for 4 to 8 weeks of project time, 80,000 to 250,000 FCFA/month maintenance and 25,000 to 75,000 FCFA/month hosting.
The budget line by line
A construction company sells reliability and experience: the site must prove both through real projects. Here are 2026 orders of magnitude.
| Line item | 2026 range (FCFA) | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 8-15 page showcase site | 1,500,000 - 4,500,000 | Design, dev, responsive, SEO |
| Projects reference section | 500,000 - 1,200,000 | Project pages, photos, filters |
| Tender form | 200,000 - 600,000 | Document upload, qualification |
| Copy + expertise | 300,000 - 800,000 | Trades, certifications, team |
| Site photo shoot | 250,000 - 700,000 | Photography, web optimization |
| Google profile + local SEO | 150,000 - 500,000 | Local ranking |
The projects reference section is the highest-return item: in construction, a client judges on concrete work. Detailed pages (client, budget, deadlines met) are worth more than any pitch.
Local provider or structured agency: the comparison
The provider choice affects price and the site's longevity. 2026 comparison.
| Criterion | Local provider | Structured agency |
|---|---|---|
| Project budget | 800,000 - 2,000,000 FCFA | 2,500,000 - 4,500,000 FCFA |
| Timeline | 3 - 6 weeks | 4 - 8 weeks |
| Design / credibility | Variable | High, bespoke |
| Tender form | Basic | Structured, qualifying |
| Maintenance | Ad hoc | Contractual |
| Abandonment risk | High | Low |
To bid on public tenders and large private accounts, the structured agency provides the necessary credibility and follow-up. The local provider suits a tight budget but carries quality and abandonment risk.
