The verdict in three sentences
A bilingual B2B catalog website for a trading company costs between 800,000 and 2,000,000 FCFA (1,220-3,050 EUR) in 2026, with a 4 to 6 week lead time. The site must build credibility with international suppliers and clients through a structured product catalog, an FR/EN version and a quote request form. It is a commercial tool, not a brochure: it must generate qualified requests.
Modules per package
A trading company sells to professionals: the site must reflect a catalog, references and a clear request channel. Here is the 2026 grid.
| Module | Essential | Pro | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (FCFA) | 800,000 | 1,400,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Price (EUR) | 1,220 | 2,135 | 3,050 |
| Pages | 8 | 12 | 18+ |
| Product catalog | 50 refs | 200 refs | unlimited |
| Bilingual FR/EN | Included | Included | + 3rd language |
| Quote form | Basic | Advanced | Multi-step |
| Supplier / certification pages | - | Included | Included |
| Lead time | 4 wks | 5 wks | 6 wks |
The quote request form is the commercial core: it captures the need (product, quantity, incoterm) and feeds your pipeline directly.

Bilingual FR/EN is not optional for trading: your international suppliers and clients judge your professionalism on the quality of the English version.

Mini case study
Mensah, head of a trading company, invests 1,400,000 FCFA in the Pro package (200 references, FR/EN, advanced quote form). Before, he prospected only through trade shows and contacts. After 5 months, his site receives 14 quote requests per month, of which 60% are international thanks to the English version. He converts 2 contracts per month at an average margin of 900,000 FCFA, i.e. 1,800,000 FCFA of additional monthly margin. The site pays for itself with the very first signed contract.
FAQ
Why a bilingual FR/EN site for trading? Your international partners do not all read French. A polished English version builds credibility and doubles your audience of potential suppliers and clients.
What is the difference between a catalog and an online store? A B2B catalog presents your products and references without direct sale: the client requests a quote. This suits trading, where prices depend on quantities and incoterms.
How many products can I display? From 50 references (Essential) to unlimited (Advanced). Beyond 200 references, a category structure and internal search become essential.
Does the quote form feed a CRM? Yes, each request (product, quantity, incoterm, contact) lands in a light CRM or a structured email, ready for your sales follow-up.
What lead time for a complete trading site? Between 4 and 6 weeks in 2026, depending on the number of references and languages. Translation and product sheets are the longest steps.
