The verdict in three sentences
Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital, calls for more institutional sites: a polished brochure costs 300,000 to 500,000 FCFA in 2026, an organization or NGO site 600,000 to 1,000,000 FCFA. Specific needs (institutions, conference hospitality, basilica tourism) push toward FR/EN multilingual and a multi-page portal up to 2,000,000 FCFA. Secure managed hosting is often required: 75,000 to 200,000 FCFA/year.

Mini case study
The director of an NGO based in Yamoussoukro wants a bilingual site for international donors. He picks the multi-page portal at 1,400,000 FCFA, including 250,000 FCFA for multilingual and 200,000 FCFA for a document area (activity reports). Over the year, secure managed hosting costs 150,000 FCFA and maintenance 100,000 FCFA/month, i.e. 1,200,000 FCFA recurring.
