A static website is a type of website that is made up of static files that are stored on a web server. These files are written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and they are delivered to the user’s web browser exactly as they are stored. This means that the content of a static website does not change unless the files are updated manually.
Static websites are typically used for simple websites that do not require a lot of interactivity or frequent updates. Common examples of static websites include personal websites, portfolio websites, brochure websites, landing pages, and corporate informational websites.

Now how much does building a static website cost in Nigeria?
If you have such a question in your mind, then you’ll want to continue reading this article as we’ll be giving a breakdown of the expenses you’ll incur when building a static website in Nigeria.
Price for a Static Website in Nigeria
Firstly, let’s start with the most generic bill you’ll be paying; which is the hosting and domain.
Web Hosting pricing in Nigeria
Hosting a website that accepts payment in naira will charge anywhere between ₦5000 and ₦150,000 per year for their hosting plans. Of course, as the price increases, so does the potential capabilities of the website, but you’re likely not going to spend as high as ₦150,000 per year for what you’ll want from a static website.
Domain name pricing in Nigeria
Furthermore, when we consider domain name pricing, you’ll be looking at anything between ₦1,500 and ₦10,000 per year with Nigerian registrars. This range includes top-level domains like .org, and .net, not just .com and .ng.
Now, if we want to look into web development and design, we assume you don’t know how to handle it yourself. You should be ready to commit anything between ₦50,000 and ₦200,000 for the web design.
Meanwhile, this price doesn’t include the cost of getting the actual content on the pages created by a professional web design agency. To account for the actual contents within each page, you may need to budget no less than ₦10,000 per page; the total amount will depend on the number of static pages on the website and the kind of pages that they are.
After your website has been designed and fully launched you might also need to have a website maintenance plan in place to make sure the website is running smoothly and top of its best performance.
Summing things up together and assuming you’re creating a static website with just one page, (the home page) you should be looking at paying anything from ₦130,000 up to ₦500,000. Most of the prices will be paid to a professional web designer and for hosting plans so if these are skills you have, it’ll save you a lot of money.
Finally, this is just assuming the payment for the first year. Hosting renewal often costs at least 50% more than its initial purchase price, you may need to scoop about the entire price you spent your first year, just to keep the hosting for the second year.
In addition, these price ranges are entirely different if we look at hosting companies that charge in dollars. You may need to have anywhere between $500 and $2,000 to completely set up a static website when doing your dealings with hosting companies, web designers, and content writers that’ll charge you in dollars.
