The verdict in three sentences
For a medical equipment distributor answering hospital and clinic tenders across several countries, a full website redesign costs 25,000 to 45,000 TND excl. tax (about EUR 7,350 to 13,250) in 2026, based on our reference project in Tunis. The core of the budget is the 800-item catalogue with datasheets, and the option with the best return is the quote request basket (+8,000 TND, about EUR 2,350). Allow 9 weeks for a trilingual site in French, Arabic and English, hosted for 80 TND per month.
Redesign budget line by line
A clinic buyer, a biomedical engineer at a hospital or a private hospital director do not look for the same things, but all want to find the right item, its datasheet and its regulatory compliance in under a minute.
| Item | 2026 budget (TND excl. tax) | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Audit of the existing site and sitemap | 2,000 to 3,500 | Traffic, product families, search queries |
| Catalogue UX design | 3,500 to 6,000 | Filterable lists, product page, comparison |
| Development and CMS | 8,000 to 14,000 | Families, brands, documents |
| Import of 800 items | 3,500 to 6,500 | Data cleaning, PDFs, images |
| Arabic (RTL) and English versions | 4,000 to 8,000 | Technical translation and RTL layout |
| SEO and redirects | 1,500 to 3,000 | Preserving existing rankings |
| Acceptance testing and training | 1,000 to 2,000 | Multilingual tests, onboarding |
| Total redesign | 25,000 to 45,000 | Excluding quote basket option |
| Quote request basket option | +8,000 | Multi-item basket, PDF and CRM export |
The most underestimated line is the item import. Incomplete datasheets (missing CE marking, unspecified device class, missing instructions) slow the whole project. Plan for an internal product lead at 30% of their time for 4 weeks.
Quote basket versus a standard form
In hospital B2B, price depends on volumes, the maintenance contract and the delivery country. The site should not display prices, but it must let buyers build a complete request.
| Criterion | Contact form | Quote basket |
|---|---|---|
| Items per request | 1 to 2, often vague | 5 to 30, with quantities |
| Internal pricing time | 45 to 90 minutes | 15 to 30 minutes |
| Buyer attachments | Rare | Technical specification attached |
| Sales follow-up | Shared inbox | CRM record with status |
| Fit with tenders | Low | PDF export matching the bill of quantities |
| Upfront cost | Included | +8,000 TND excl. tax |
The 9-week schedule
| Weeks | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Audit, sitemap, product page structure |
| 3 to 4 | Catalogue and product mock-ups, management approval |
| 5 to 6 | Development, French item import |
| 7 | Arabic and English versions, quote basket |
| 8 | Acceptance, redirects, mobile tests |
| 9 | Go-live, training, monitoring of first requests |
Mini case study
Mr Ben Salah, CEO of a 35-employee distributor, chooses a 38,000 TND redesign with an 8,000 TND quote basket, for 46,000 TND excl. tax (about EUR 13,500), plus 960 TND of annual hosting. His team handles 60 requests per month. The basket cuts pricing time from 70 to 25 minutes, saving 45 hours per month. If the site brings in 2 extra tenders per year at 120,000 TND with an 18% gross margin, the additional margin reaches 43,200 TND: the investment is almost covered in the first year.

FAQ
Should medical equipment prices be shown online?
Rarely in hospital B2B, since prices vary by 10 to 25% depending on volumes and maintenance contracts. The quote basket captures a precise request without fixing a price.
Does the Arabic version double the cost?
No, it adds 15 to 20% to the budget for technical translation and RTL adaptation. The design must be planned from the start for both reading directions.
How do we preserve current search rankings?
With a page-by-page 301 redirect plan. Without it, an 800-item site can lose 30 to 60% of its organic traffic within weeks.
Can the catalogue connect to our ERP?
Yes, to sync items and availability, with a budget of 4,000 to 9,000 TND depending on the ERP and data quality.
Can the site support foreign tenders?
Yes, with downloadable PDF datasheets, up-to-date certificates and a compliance page per market. This is often what reassures a foreign hospital buyer.
