The verdict in three sentences
A credible showcase website for a notary or law office costs between 600,000 and 1,500,000 FCFA (915-2,285 EUR) in 2026, with online appointment booking and a secure document area. The realistic lead time is 3 to 5 weeks, and monthly maintenance (updates, security, backups) ranges from 40,000 to 90,000 FCFA/month. For a regulated profession, the site must inspire trust: sober design, flawless legal notices, fast loading.
Features per tier
A law office needs more than an online brochure: it needs tools that cut calls and secure documents. Here is the 2026 grid.
| Feature | Essential | Professional | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (FCFA) | 600,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,500,000 |
| Price (EUR) | 915 | 1,525 | 2,285 |
| Pages | 6 | 10 | 15+ |
| Online booking | Basic | Advanced | Calendar sync |
| Document area | - | Secure | Encrypted + logs |
| Bilingual FR/EN | - | Option | Included |
| Legal blog / news | - | Included | Included |
| Lead time | 3 wks | 4 wks | 5 wks |
Online booking is the most profitable module: it cuts inbound calls for simple scheduling by 30 to 40%, freeing up the front desk.
Maintenance and annual cost
A regulated profession cannot afford a down site or a security breach. Maintenance is not optional.
| Item | 2026 order of magnitude (FCFA) |
|---|---|
| Monthly maintenance | 40,000 - 90,000 |
| Advanced SSL certificate | included |
| Encrypted backups | included |
| Secure hosting | 25,000 - 50,000 / month |
| Year-1 maintenance total | 480,000 - 1,080,000 |
A Professional tier at 1,000,000 FCFA + maintenance at 60,000 FCFA/month represents a year-1 cost of about 1,720,000 FCFA, amortized over several years of use.

Mini case study
Ms Adjovi, partner notary at a firm, chooses the Professional tier at 1,000,000 FCFA with booking and a secure document area. Before, her front desk spent about 12 hours per week handling appointments by phone. The online module absorbs 60% of those requests, i.e. 7 hours freed per week. Valued at 3,500 FCFA/hour of clerical time, that is around 98,000 FCFA saved per month, giving a site payback in under 11 months, excluding new clients won through the site's credibility.
FAQ
Is online booking secure? Yes: slots are managed via a synced calendar, without exposing sensitive data. No confidential legal information passes through the booking form.
What is a secure document area? A space where clients retrieve their documents (deeds, certificates) via password-protected access, with encryption and access logs at the Premium tier.
Does the site respect professional rules? Yes: sober design, complete legal notices, no comparative advertising. We frame the content with you to stay compliant with professional ethics.
How much is maintenance and is it mandatory? Between 40,000 and 90,000 FCFA/month. For a regulated profession, it is strongly recommended: security, backups and updates protect your firm.
Can we add English later? Yes, bilingual FR/EN is an option at the Professional tier and included at Premium. Adding it later costs between 150,000 and 400,000 FCFA.
