The verdict in three sentences
In Saint-Louis, a professional 5-page brochure site costs between 250,000 and 400,000 FCFA in 2026, while a site with a blog plus local SEO climbs to 500,000-700,000 FCFA. The tourism market (hotels, guesthouses, travel agencies around the island) often justifies a bilingual FR/EN version and a booking module.
