The verdict in three sentences
A professional showcase website in Senegal costs between 250,000 and 1,200,000 FCFA in 2026 (380 EUR to 1,830 EUR), depending on page count, custom design and SEO depth. The price rises mostly with advanced animations, FR/EN multilingual support and an integrated blog, not with raw page count. Below 200,000 FCFA you are buying a recycled template with no support: the real gap is about after-sales service and mobile performance.
The tier-by-tier price grid (2026)
Here are the three standard tiers from a serious Senegalese agency, delivered in 5 to 15 days.
| Tier | Price FCFA | Price EUR | Pages | Included | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 250,000 | 380 | 5 | Responsive design, contact form, WhatsApp, basic SEO | 5-7 days |
| Growth | 500,000 | 760 | 8-10 | + Blog, Google Analytics, Google Business listing, partial multilingual | 8-12 days |
| Premium | 1,200,000 | 1,830 | 12+ | + Advanced animations, deep SEO, full FR/EN, Core Web Vitals tuning | 12-15 days |
Prices are turnkey delivery, often with first-year hosting included depending on the agency.
What actually moves the price
The quote depends on more than the tier. Six levers explain 90% of the gaps.
| Factor | Price impact | 2026 order of magnitude |
|---|---|---|
| 100% custom design (vs template) | +40 to +80% | +150,000 to +400,000 FCFA |
| Full FR/EN multilingual | +15 to +25% | +100,000 to +250,000 FCFA |
| Copywriting handled by agency | +10 to +20% | +50,000 to +200,000 FCFA |
| Framer Motion / GSAP animations | +20 to +35% | +150,000 to +350,000 FCFA |
| Express delivery (< 5 days) | +15 to +30% | rush surcharge |
| Pro photos / shoot | variable | 75,000 to 250,000 FCFA |
Freelancer or agency: the price gap
A freelancer often charges 30 to 50% less, but the scope is not comparable. An agency usually includes contractual support, a delivery guarantee and continuity if your contact changes.
| Criterion | Freelancer | Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Starter showcase | 120,000 - 200,000 FCFA | 250,000 FCFA |
| Premium showcase | 500,000 - 800,000 FCFA | 1,200,000 FCFA |
| Support / warranty | Variable, informal | Contract, 3-12 months |
| Deadline met | High risk | Written commitment |
| Project continuity | Low (1 person) | Team |

Awa, who runs a hair salon in Dakar, hesitates between a freelancer at 180,000 FCFA and a Growth offer at 500,000 FCFA. The freelancer ships a site with no blog and no Google Business listing. Awa picks Growth: thanks to the blog and the optimized Google listing, she captures 18 new bookings per month at an average ticket of 12,000 FCFA, i.e. 216,000 FCFA/month. The 320,000 FCFA gap is paid back in under 7 weeks, and SEO keeps producing afterward.
FAQ
What is the minimum serious price for a showcase website in Senegal?
Budget 250,000 FCFA (380 EUR) for a turnkey Starter with responsive design and support. Below 150,000 FCFA you get a template with no guidance and no mobile optimization.
Are hosting and domain included in these prices?
The .com domain (10,000-15,000 FCFA/year) and the first year of hosting are often included, but the recurring cost (25,000-75,000 FCFA/month for managed) is billed separately from year 2.
How long does a showcase website take to deliver?
Between 5 and 15 days depending on the tier: 5-7 days for Starter, up to 15 days for Premium with animations and deep SEO. An express deadline adds 15 to 30%.
Why do two quotes vary twofold for 5 pages?
Page count matters little: custom design, multilingual, animations and SEO drive the gap, plus support quality and guaranteed mobile performance.
Does the price differ from Abidjan?
Yes, the Ivorian market starts slightly higher (showcase from 350,000 FCFA). Purchasing power and local competition explain the gap, detailed in our Abidjan grid.
