The verdict in three sentences
A trilingual FR/AR/EN redesign with RTL support for a Casablanca road transport and warehousing group costs 160,000 to 320,000 MAD excl. VAT in 2026 (about 14,800 to 29,600 EUR). The two modules that justify the investment are a qualified online quote request and a driver recruitment area, because they feed sales and HR directly. Plan 10 to 14 weeks, a filing with the CNDP (Law 09-08) and application maintenance of 4,000 to 7,000 MAD per month.
What a logistics group website must do in 2026
A group with 600 vehicles and three subsidiaries (domestic road haulage, international transport to Europe via Tanger Med, bonded warehousing) serves three very different audiences: shippers who want a price, driver candidates browsing on a smartphone in Arabic, and partners or lenders assessing the group's strength. The current site, often a 2018 French-only showcase, serves none of them.
The redesign must therefore deliver: a group architecture with one page per subsidiary, a quote form by flow type (full truckload, groupage, refrigerated, warehousing), an interactive map of facilities (Casablanca, Tangier, Agadir, Marrakech), filterable job offers with a three-minute application, and an Arabic version truly laid out in RTL, not just an automatic mirror.
Detailed 2026 budget in dirhams
| Work package | 2026 range excl. VAT | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping, group sitemap, UX | 15,000 to 30,000 MAD | Workshops with the 3 subsidiaries |
| FR design and front-end | 45,000 to 90,000 MAD | 25 to 40 page templates |
| AR (RTL) and EN versions | 30,000 to 60,000 MAD | Pro translation + RTL layout |
| Online quote module | 20,000 to 45,000 MAD | Rules per flow, CRM push |
| Facilities map | 8,000 to 15,000 MAD | Geolocation, hours, contacts |
| Driver recruitment area | 18,000 to 35,000 MAD | Offers, mobile application, HR sorting |
| Law 09-08 compliance and security | 10,000 to 20,000 MAD | Notices, consents, CNDP file |
| Testing, SEO, go-live | 14,000 to 25,000 MAD | 301 redirects, cross-browser tests |
Total: 160,000 to 320,000 MAD excl. VAT, about 14,800 to 29,600 EUR. The low end matches a standard CMS with a simple quote form; the high end a quote engine with an indicative price based on distance, tonnage and trailer type, plus integration with the existing CRM or transport ERP.
Timeline and recurring costs
| Phase | Duration | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping and subsidiary workshops | 2 weeks | Sitemap, specifications |
| FR mockups then RTL adaptation | 3 weeks | Mockups approved by management |
| Development and modules | 4 to 6 weeks | Site on staging |
| AR/EN translations and content | in parallel, 3 weeks | Copy approved by business units |
| Testing and CNDP compliance | 1 to 2 weeks | Acceptance report |
| Go-live and follow-up | 1 week | Redirects, monitoring |
After launch, application maintenance costs 4,000 to 7,000 MAD per month depending on the volume of changes: security updates, new job offers, new facilities, small changes to the quote form. Managed hosting in Morocco or the EU costs 6,000 to 15,000 MAD per year.
Regulatory point: the application form collects personal data (national ID, driving licence, experience). Law 09-08 requires a declaration or authorisation request with the CNDP, clear information for candidates and a limited retention period. Plan it from scoping, not after testing.
Mini case study
Youssef, communications director of a Casablanca transport and warehousing group, chooses a redesign at 240,000 MAD excl. VAT, plus 5,500 MAD per month of maintenance. Before the redesign, the site generated 6 usable quote requests per month. Six months later, the qualified quote module produces 18, of which 15% convert into contracts.

With an average gross margin of 30,000 MAD per new annual client, the 12 extra requests per month yield about 1.8 more clients per month, or 54,000 MAD of additional monthly margin. The first-year investment (240,000 + 66,000 = 306,000 MAD, about 28,300 EUR) is recovered in under six months. On the HR side, average time to hire a driver drops from 5 to 3 weeks. 2026 order of magnitude.
FAQ
What budget to redesign a logistics group website in Casablanca?
Between 160,000 and 320,000 MAD excl. VAT for a trilingual version with online quotes and recruitment. A simple monolingual showcase site is closer to 40,000 to 80,000 MAD excl. VAT.
Is the RTL Arabic version essential?
For driver recruitment and local clients, yes: a large share of candidates browse in Arabic on mobile. RTL layout represents about 15 to 20% of the design budget.
Does the site need to be declared to the CNDP?
As soon as you collect CVs, ID numbers or prospect details, Law 09-08 applies. The CNDP file takes 1 to 3 weeks to prepare and must be started before go-live.
How long does the project take?
10 to 14 weeks depending on the number of subsidiaries and content availability. Translations and sign-off by each subsidiary are the main delay risks.
What does maintenance at 4,000 to 7,000 MAD per month cover?
Security updates, backups, publishing job offers and news, and 4 to 8 hours of monthly improvements depending on the plan.
