The short answer
A one-page site is RM 2,000 and a five-page site RM 4,000, with domain and first-year hosting included.
After launch, plan for about RM 390 a year to keep a small business site online.
Send what you sell on WhatsApp to get a fixed price in writing, usually the same working day.
Prices in Melaka, next to typical Malaysian quotes
Fixed prices for the common projects, beside what Malaysian agencies and studios usually quote for the same work. Domain and first-year hosting are included in every build.
What every price includes
Words written for you from a short Q&A, a layout built for phones first, a WhatsApp button and an enquiry form that reaches your phone, and the domain and hosting registered in your name.
What costs extra
An extra page is RM 350. A second language — Bahasa Malaysia or Chinese — is added on top of the English site: RM 600 extra on a one-page site (RM 2,600 in total) and from RM 1,200 extra on a five-page site. A booking or enquiry form with logic starts at RM 500.
What the price does not hide
The total in the quote is the total you pay. Hosting renewal from year two is listed up front, and nothing outside the written scope starts without your approval.
Why a Melaka price is lower than an agency quote
The work is the same. What changes is how many people sit between you and the person building your site.
One person, start to finish
You talk to Richerd, who writes, designs and builds the site. No account manager, no sales team and no handover to a junior — that is where much of an agency quote goes.
Across the table in Melaka
Meetings in person in Melaka Tengah, Ayer Keroh, Batu Berendam, Alor Gajah and Jasin. Clients elsewhere in Malaysia work by video call and WhatsApp at the same prices.
Written for Melaka searches
Pages that name the towns you serve, and the words customers type — “homestay Jonker Street”, “kilang plastik Ayer Keroh”, “klinik gigi Batu Berendam” — so the site helps you show up locally.
Since 2007
Building and fixing websites for Melaka businesses since 2007 — so the quote is based on how long the work really takes, not a guess padded for risk.
What Melaka businesses usually need
Most enquiries in Melaka fall into a few kinds of business. This is what each one usually needs, and what it costs.
Homestay, guesthouse or heritage hotel
Room pages with rates, photos and a WhatsApp or booking button, so guests book you direct instead of through Agoda. A five-page site at RM 4,000, plus a booking form from RM 500. See the Hotel Puri case study.
Factory or supplier in an industrial area
A product catalogue and a quotation form that buyers can send without phoning. Starts as a five-page site at RM 4,000, with extra product pages at RM 350 each. See the Jujin Plastic case study.
Clinic, tuition centre or workshop
One clear page per service and a WhatsApp button at the top. A one-page site at RM 2,000 is often enough; add Local SEO at RM 800 a month to compete in the map results.
Shop selling kuih, batik or souvenirs online
Your own store with FPX, cards and e-wallets, so you keep the up to 20% that Shopee and Lazada take. An online store is RM 7,000, with 30 products loaded.
What you pay every year after launch
A small business site in Melaka costs about RM 390 a year to keep online. Everything else is optional.
Hosting and domain renewal
RM 390 a year from year two, for hosting, a .com domain, SSL and a mailbox. A .com.my domain is RM 120 a year. Paid once a year, in your name.
Extra mailboxes
From RM 90 a year each, if more staff need their own address on your domain.
Small changes
Pay as you go at RM 150 for the first hour, with the time and price agreed before work starts. Most fixes are done in one to three working days.
Care plan, if you want one
From RM 100 a month for updates, backups and security checks. Worth it for WordPress sites and online stores; not needed for a simple one-page site you rarely change.
Getting a fixed price
No brief, no form. One WhatsApp message is enough to get a fixed price.
Send three things
What you sell, who buys it, and your current website or Facebook page if you have one.
Get a written price
You get the type of site you need and a fixed price in writing, usually the same working day. If a cheaper option would do the job, you hear that too.
Own it from day one
The domain, hosting and every login are in your name from the start, so you can leave whenever you want and take the site with you.
Comparing quotes?
Put each quote side by side and check that it names every page, who writes the words and the yearly costs. The full checklist is in the guide to choosing a web designer on Web Consult SMB.
Quick answers.
01How much does a website cost in Melaka?
With Computer Solution Trio, a one-page website is RM 2,000, a five-page business website RM 4,000, a WordPress redesign RM 4,500 and an online store RM 7,000. Domain and first-year hosting are included.
02Is a Melaka web designer cheaper than one in KL?
Often, because a one-person studio has no account managers or sales team to pay for. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total.
03What does a website cost every year in Melaka?
About RM 390 a year for hosting, a .com domain, SSL and a mailbox. A care plan from RM 100 a month is optional.
04Can we meet in person?
Yes, in Melaka Tengah, Ayer Keroh, Batu Berendam, Alor Gajah and Jasin. Clients elsewhere in Malaysia work by video call and WhatsApp.
05How much does it cost to add a Bahasa Malaysia version?
It is an add-on to an English site, not a separate site. Adding a Bahasa Malaysia (or Chinese) version of a one-page website costs RM 600 on top of the RM 2,000, so RM 2,600 in total. On a five-page website it is from RM 1,200 on top of the RM 4,000. The price covers translating, laying out and testing every page in the second language.
06How long does a website take?
One week for a one-page site, three weeks for a five-page site, four for a redesign and five to six for an online store.
07Who owns the website and domain?
You do, from day one. The domain and hosting are registered in your name and every login is handed over.
