The short answer
In Lebanon a website costs anywhere from about $150 to $3,000 or more. That range is real, and it is why quotes can feel random. The price depends on four things: whether the design is made for you or taken from a template, whether it works properly in Arabic and English, what the site has to do (show information, sell, take bookings, connect to other systems), and what is included after launch — hosting, the domain, updates and support.
Here is what we charge at Thrubits, so you have real numbers to compare against.
Thrubits prices (USD)
- Simple business website: from $250 — a few pages, mobile-friendly, contact form and WhatsApp button.
- Startup package: $799 one-time — bilingual site up to 5 pages, domain, hosting and SSL for a year, logo, Google Business Profile, a month of social media and a QR code.
- Mid-size Company package: $1,099 one-time — up to 10 pages with a blog, full brand identity, 3 months of social media and search engine setup.
- Enterprise package: $1,599 one-time — online store or booking system, 6 months of social media with ad setup, and a year of maintenance.
- Custom platforms, apps and systems: priced by scope, typically $3,000 or more.
What pushes the price up
- Selling online: products, stock, delivery zones and card payments add work — and must be tested properly.
- Bookings and accounts: calendars, customer logins and dashboards are software, not pages.
- Connections: linking to a POS, an accounting system, WhatsApp or delivery apps.
- Content: if we write the text and shoot or source photos, that is extra time.
- Two languages done properly: Arabic needs its own right-to-left layout, not a translated copy.
What a cheap website often leaves out
Very low quotes usually skip things you only notice later: the domain registered in the agency’s name, hosting that is slow or shared with hundreds of sites, no backups, an admin you cannot use, or Arabic that breaks on phones. Before you compare prices, compare what is included — and ask who owns the domain and the website when the project ends. With us, you do.
