The verdict in three sentences
An SME corporate site in Ouagadougou costs in 2026 between 1,500,000 and 4,500,000 FCFA, the gap driven by bilingualism, CSR and references pages, and editorial depth. Plan 5 to 9 weeks of production and 60,000 to 150,000 FCFA/month of maintenance for a site that inspires trust in funders and partners. The return is not an average basket but an entry ticket: without a credible site, an SME is shut out of tenders and financing.
The blocks that make up the price
A corporate site sells legitimacy. It must prove the company's soundness to demanding stakeholders: banks, funders, large contractors. Here is the 2026 breakdown by block.
| 2026 block | Indicative cost FCFA |
|---|---|
| About + governance page | 200,000-450,000 |
| Business / activity pages | 150,000-300,000 / page |
| CSR / impact page | 250,000-500,000 |
| References / partners page | 200,000-400,000 |
| FR/EN bilingualism | 400,000-900,000 |
| Bespoke corporate design | 500,000-1,200,000 |
| Hosting + SSL / year | 240,000-540,000 |
| Maintenance / month | 60,000-150,000 |
FR/EN bilingualism is often decisive in Ouagadougou: international funders and English-speaking partners demand a credible English version, not a machine translation.
Three tiers by ambition
Depending on page count and bilingual needs, three tiers structure the 2026 quote.
| Tier | Price FCFA | Pages | Bilingual | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1,500,000 | 8-10 | FR only | 5 weeks |
| Corporate | 2,900,000 | 12-18 | FR + EN | 6-7 weeks |
| Reference | 4,500,000 | 20+ | FR + EN | 9 weeks |
| CSR / references | Basic | Reinforced | Full | - |
| Maintenance/month | 60,000 | 100,000 | 150,000 | - |
An SME bidding on international contracts should aim for Corporate or Reference: the CSR page and client references are often scrutinized first by a selection committee.
Mini case study
Mr Ouedraogo, head of an agro-industrial services SME in Ouagadougou-Gounghin, invests in a Corporate site at 2,900,000 FCFA with maintenance at 100,000 FCFA/month. Goal: qualify for two funder tenders that require a bilingual corporate site. In year one, the company wins 1 contract of the 2 targeted, worth 28,000,000 FCFA of services. Year-one site cost: 2,900,000 + (100,000 x 12) = 4,100,000 FCFA. The site served as an eligibility condition: without it, the bid was rejected outright. Credibility ROI: a 28 M FCFA contract for 4.1 M FCFA invested.
