How Much Does a Website Cost in the Philippines in 2026?

If you run a resort, a restaurant, a spa, a clinic or a shop in the Philippines, you have probably heard quotes from ₱15,000 to six figures for "a website". This guide puts our own fixed prices next to what Philippine agencies and freelancers publish, so you can see where each quote sits and what it should include. Our numbers are ours. Every peso figure below comes from a named, published guide or pricing page, linked at the end.

What does a small business website cost in the Philippines?

At Digiocular the price depends on the kind of website, not on where you are. A business, restaurant or event site starts at $599. A hotel, resort or portfolio site starts at $499. A site that takes bookings starts at $799. The table shows the starting price and the usual build time for the websites Philippine small businesses ask us for most.

A starting price covers a site of that type built to a normal scope. More pages, a Filipino edition or GCash and Maya payments are separate lines in your quote, each with its own price.

Why are Digiocular's prices in USD, and how do I pay?

Digiocular is headquartered in Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines and works remote-first with clients in several countries. We publish one price list for all of them, so a resort in Batangas and a hotel in Varanasi see the same number for the same work, and nobody has to guess what an exchange rate did to their quote. The written proposal states the currency, the way to pay and any taxes before you pay anything.

What do Philippine agencies and freelancers typically charge?

Published price guides for the Philippines give wide ranges, and they depend a lot on who builds the site and where. These are two of the clearer ones, quoted as their authors wrote them:

• Praferosa Webworks (10 April 2026) puts a basic static website at ₱15,000 to ₱35,000, a WordPress website at ₱30,000 to ₱60,000 and an e-commerce store at ₱100,000 to ₱180,000.
• The same guide says most small business websites fall between ₱30,000 and ₱60,000, with freelancers charging around ₱20,000 to ₱40,000 and agencies ₱50,000 to ₱100,000.
• It also splits agencies by location: a basic business website at ₱80,000 to ₱150,000 from premium Metro Manila agencies (Makati, BGC, Ortigas), ₱50,000 to ₱100,000 from mid-tier Metro Manila agencies and ₱30,000 to ₱80,000 from agencies in Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Baguio.
• After launch, it budgets ₱2,000 to ₱10,000 a month for hosting, maintenance and other essentials.
• High6 (4 March 2026) puts a template-based website at ₱15,000 to ₱60,000, a semi-custom website at ₱60,000 to ₱150,000 and fully custom development at ₱180,000 to ₱500,000 and up.

Whoever you hire, compare what the quote includes, not only the total. Check whether design is custom or a template, who writes the text, whether the site works well on phones, who owns the finished site and what support you get after launch. A cheap quote that leaves those out often costs more by the end of the first year.

What is included in the price, and what costs extra?

The starting price already includes a custom design laid out for phones first, search basics (clean structure, structured data and a sitemap), a private preview before launch, SSL, backups, one round of revisions, two weeks of free support and the full code in your name.

Things a site has to do are priced as add-ons, so you only pay for what you use. A booking system is $249, and a reservation system that collects a deposit is $399. An online ordering flow for a restaurant is $399. A WhatsApp or chat button is $99, and each extra language, such as a Filipino edition, is $249. If you need us to write the words, page copywriting is $99/page.

To take GCash, Maya or card payments on your own site, we connect a payment gateway such as PayMongo for $249, one-time. PayMongo then charges its own fee on each payment. Its pricing page lists 2.23% for GCash, 1.79% for Maya, 1.34% for QR Ph and 3.125% + ₱13.39 for Visa and Mastercard cards (international cards cost more), all before VAT, with no setup fee.

After launch, you can run the site yourself, add a maintenance plan at $49/mo or a monthly retainer at $99–$499/month. Domain and hosting are separate lines in your quote.

How long does it take to build a website?

The free homepage sample comes 24 to 48 hours after the discovery call. Then a landing page takes 3–4 days, most business sites 5–7 days and an online store 2–3 weeks. Every type, and what delays a launch, is in our guide to how long a website takes to build.

The biggest factor in hitting those dates is how quickly your photos, text and feedback reach us. A resort that sends its room photos and rates on day one launches sooner than one that finds them in week two. We agree the target date in writing when the scope is set, and we answer on WhatsApp 9am–9pm IST (11:30am–11:30pm PHT).
