The verdict in three sentences
In Diourbel, and in the nearby Touba basin, a retail or artisan brochure site costs 250,000 to 450,000 FCFA in 2026, and a catalog site with a WhatsApp button climbs to 500,000-800,000 FCFA. Local wholesale trade recoups a site quickly thanks to Google Maps ranking and a catalog viewable remotely. Budget a maintenance plan of 50,000 to 100,000 FCFA/month for regular updates.
