How Much Does a Website Cost in Mauritius? 2026 Guide

The Question Every Business Asks

How much does a website cost in Mauritius? The honest answer: it depends. But "it depends" is not helpful. Here is a practical breakdown based on what businesses in Mauritius actually pay for different types of websites. If you are considering e-commerce, read about [ecommerce website cost](/blog/ecommerce-website-cost-mauritius-2026).

Basic Business Website: Rs 30,000 - 80,000

A simple brochure website: homepage, about, services, contact. This is the most common starting point for small businesses in Mauritius. Learn about [mobile-first design](/blog/mobile-first-design-mauritius-users).

What you get:

• 5-10 pages
• Mobile-responsive design
• Basic SEO setup
• Contact form
• Google Maps integration

What you do not get:

• Custom functionality
• E-commerce
• Content management system
• Ongoing support

Red flags: If someone quotes you Rs 10,000 for a "professional website," you are getting a template with your logo pasted on it. If someone quotes Rs 200,000 for a 5-page brochure site, you are overpaying.

E-Commerce Website: Rs 80,000 - 300,000

Online store with product catalog, shopping cart, and payment processing. The price depends on the number of products and payment integrations. Read about [ecommerce compliance](/blog/ecommerce-compliance-mauritius).

Custom Web Application: Rs 200,000 - 1,000,000+

Dashboards, portals, SaaS platforms, operational systems. This is where custom development starts. The price depends on complexity, integrations, and user roles. Learn about [custom operational platforms](/blog/why-your-business-needs-custom-operational-platform).

The Hidden Costs

The website price is not the total cost. Factor in:

• Hosting: Rs 500 - 5,000/month depending on traffic
• Domain: Rs 1,000 - 2,000/year for .mu domain
• SSL certificate: Usually included with hosting
• Maintenance: Rs 5,000 - 20,000/month for updates and support
• Content creation: Rs 5,000 - 15,000 per page for copywriting
• SEO: Rs 10,000 - 30,000/month for ongoing optimization

How to Choose a Web Developer in Mauritius

1. Ask for local references. A developer who has built websites for Mauritian businesses understands the local market.

2. Check MRA compliance. If you are selling online, your developer must understand VAT, BRN, and supply type codes.

3. Ask about mobile. Over 70% of web traffic in Mauritius is mobile. Your website must be mobile-first.

4. Ask about support. What happens when something breaks? Is there a support contract?

5. Get a written quote. Verbal quotes become written invoices. Get everything in writing.
