The verdict in three sentences
In Senegalese construction (BTP), a website does not sell directly: it reassures the project owner before a public or private contract is awarded. A documented project portfolio, your certifications and a tender area are worth more than a thousand sales words. Budget 400,000 to 900,000 FCFA for a credibility showcase, delivered in 12 to 20 days, with before/after photos that often decide the bid.
How much does a BTP website cost in 2026?
The budget rises with the depth of the portfolio and the addition of a dedicated tender and technical-document area.
| Package | Indicative 2026 price (FCFA) | Timeline | Key content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential showcase | 400,000 | 10-12 d | Presentation, 6 projects, contact |
| Pro showcase | 650,000 | 14-16 d | Enriched portfolio, certifications, team |
| Premium showcase | 900,000 | 16-20 d | Tender area, SEO, animations |
| Tender area | included Premium | — | Document upload, structured responses |
| Before/after gallery | +150,000 | +3 d | Visual proof of expertise |
| Certifications / safety page | included Pro | — | Compliance, standards, insurance |
2026 order of magnitude: companies bidding on public contracts generally choose the Premium package at 900,000 FCFA for the tender area.

Mini case study
Fatou's company does structural work in the Thiès region. On three private bids in 2025, it lost to "more visible" competitors. With a Premium showcase at 900,000 FCFA presenting 12 documented projects with before/after photos and its certifications, it is now shortlisted more often. If just one extra contract worth 8,000,000 FCFA is won thanks to that credibility, the site pays for itself more than 8 times on that single contract.
