The verdict in three sentences
A professional services website in an emerging market costs between 600,000 and 1,800,000 FCFA (about EUR 900-2,750) in 2026 depending on the depth of expertise pages, online booking and blog. For a firm, credibility rests on expertise content and proof (references, publications, bios), not visual effects. A site that tracks its leads and complies with local data law turns visibility into real files.
2026 price grid by package
| Package | Scope | FCFA price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential showcase | 6 pages, expertise, contact | 600,000 - 900,000 | 7-12 d |
| Firm Pro | + blog, booking, data compliance | 1,000,000 - 1,400,000 | 12-20 d |
| Firm + Portal | + secure client portal, documents | 1,500,000 - 1,800,000 | 20-30 d |
The Firm Pro package is the best fit in 2026: it combines an expertise blog (SEO), online booking and compliance, the foundation of a steady B2B lead flow.
Content and lead tracking: where B2B is won
| Item | 2026 estimate | Role |
|---|---|---|

A firm publishing two expertise articles a month builds a durable SEO presence within 6-9 months on high-intent queries ("business lawyer + city").

The client portal (document sharing, matter tracking) justifies its cost as soon as the firm handles recurring files with demanding B2B clients.
Mini case study
Mr Fotso, partner at a business law firm, invests in a Firm Pro package at 1,300,000 FCFA plus 90,000 FCFA/month maintenance and 2 articles/month. Before, new matters came only from his network. In 7 months, the SEO blog and online booking generate 6 to 8 qualified enquiries/month. Two signed advisory mandates (estimated combined fees 3.5 million FCFA) repay the site, a year of maintenance and the content. Cost per signed matter: about 160,000 FCFA, very competitive for high-value B2B.
FAQ
Does a firm really need a blog? Yes: it is the main visibility driver in 2026 on high-intent queries. Two expertise articles a month are enough to build authority within 6-9 months.
Is online booking worth it? Very much: it cuts back-and-forth and lifts the conversion of visitors into first meetings. Budget 150,000 to 350,000 FCFA for the module.
What data compliance applies locally? You must respect local personal-data rules (consent, security, notices). Budget 80,000 to 200,000 FCFA for basic compliance.
When should you choose a client portal? As soon as you handle recurring matters and share sensitive documents. The secure portal adds 500,000 to 900,000 FCFA but strengthens B2B trust.
How do you measure return? With lead tracking and analytics (100,000 to 250,000 FCFA): you track enquiries by source and compute your cost per signed matter.
