01Which package

WordPress or Static, Store or SaaS: Which Website Do You Need?

My four packages differ in who edits the site and what it must do. Choose by how often your content changes.

02Honest fit

When WordPress is the Right Choice, and When It is Not

A CMS website lets your staff change content without code; in this package that CMS is WordPress. If your site doesn’t need one, I’ll say so before you pay.

Choose this package

WordPress Fits When Your Staff Publish

  • Notices, news or events go up every week
  • You add pages over time, without a developer
  • A blog matters, because customers search with questions
Price your WordPress site

Choose something else

Something Else Fits a Fixed Site or an App

My Hotel Aarohi website is static HTML on GitHub Pages, fast on rural connections and free to host. Nimtto is a product, not a blog, so it runs on a Vite build.

03What’s included

What the WordPress Package Includes, and Why It Matters

All of this is in the NPR 35,000 price, and each part matters for a business in Nepal.

A Site You Update Yourself

Up to 10 pages and a blog. Your office changes a fee or posts a notice the same day, without a developer.

Fast on Mobile Data

Most visitors arrive on a phone, often on mobile data, so caching, compressed images and a Core Web Vitals check come as standard.

Rank Math and Structured Data

Titles, an XML sitemap and structured data that tell Google and AI assistants who you are and what you offer.

Hardened and Backed Up

Security hardening, automatic backups and spam-protected forms, because a hacked site can lose its rankings overnight.

WhatsApp, Calls and a Map

Many customers would rather message than fill in a form, and a map matching your Google Business Profile helps them find you.

Search Console and Training

Search Console and Analytics in your name, plus a training call and written guide for your staff.

Also in the Price

  • Two rounds of changes at each milestone
  • 30 days of free bug fixes after launch
  • One language: English, or Nepali in Unicode
  • The code, content and accounts in your name

04Speed

Why Plugin Bloat Slows WordPress, and How I Keep Sites Light

Every plugin adds code, and much of it loads on every page, used or not: a contact form plugin often loads on the home page too. Page builders add deeply nested HTML that slows how fast a phone responds to a tap.

So I build on a light theme such as GeneratePress or Kadence, with one plugin per job, as my WordPress SEO guide for Nepal explains.

06Price

What Changes the Price of a WordPress Website in Nepal, and Why

Each option is real work with a fixed price. Here is what it involves, so you can judge if you need it.

Pages and content

  1. Extra Pages: NPR 2,000 Each

    Ten pages suit most businesses. A school with a page per programme, or a trekking firm with a page per trek, needs more.

  2. Page Text Written: NPR 1,500 a Page

    About 400 to 600 words a page in English or Nepali, written around what customers search for. Late text is the usual cause of delay.

  3. Blog Articles: NPR 3,000 Each

    About 1,000 words each, keyword-researched and linked to your service pages, answering what customers ask before they buy.

  4. Content Moved: NPR 6,000

    Up to 50 items from your old site, each old URL 301-redirected so its rankings carry over. My redesign guide explains why.

  5. Nepali and English: NPR 8,000

    A language switch and hreflang tags, so Google shows each visitor the right version. Nepali goes in as Unicode, never images or Preeti.

Features

  1. Booking Request Form: NPR 4,000

    Date, time and service fields, an email to you and a confirmation to the customer. Live slots with payment are quoted per module.

  2. Notices with Bikram Sambat Dates: NPR 5,000

    Notices with BS and AD dates and a PDF, newest first, while structured data keeps the standard date. Schools need this most.

  3. Photo Gallery: NPR 3,000

    Albums your staff fill, with a full-screen viewer. Uploads are resized for phones, because camera-size photos slow pages down.

  4. Careers Page: NPR 5,000

    Vacancies with a form that accepts CVs. Uploaded files need type and size limits and private storage, which a plain form doesn’t.

  5. Newsletter Sign-Up: NPR 3,000

    Connected to Mailchimp, Brevo or similar, with consent recorded, so you can email past customers about admissions or offers.

Delivery and after launch

  1. Priority Delivery: 25% of the Build

    About half the usual time, for an admission or trekking season. It adds 25% to the one-time total, because other work moves aside.

  2. WordPress Care: NPR 3,000 a Month

    Updates, daily backups, uptime and security checks, and an hour of changes a month. Why it matters is below.

  3. Monthly SEO: NPR 30,000 a Month

    Technical fixes, content and links, with a monthly report, for harder searches. See my SEO services in Nepal.

Not in this package

Online payments are a separate package, because your server must confirm every payment: eSewa ePay v2 signs responses with HMAC-SHA256, and Khalti KPG-2 needs a server-side lookup. My eSewa and Khalti guide shows how.

Now: WordPress & CMS Starts at NPR 35,000

  • Pages and a blog your staff edit
  • Enquiry forms, WhatsApp and a map
  • SEO, backups and training

Later: Online Store Starts at NPR 60,000

  • Usually WooCommerce, on the same site
  • eSewa and Khalti, verified on the server
  • Fonepay QR and cash on delivery

Care at NPR 3,000 a month adds NPR 36,000 to any first year. I’m in Itahari; clients in Dharan, Kathmandu and Pokhara work with me online.

08After launch

WordPress Running Costs in Nepal: What You Pay Other Companies

After launch, the site’s own bills go to the providers in your name: about NPR 2,500 to 21,500 in the first year, plus optional email.

09Care plan

Why a WordPress Care Plan Matters: Updates, Backups and Security

My care plan is NPR 3,000 a month. Advertised WordPress plans in Nepal run from about NPR 2,000 to 15,000.

  1. Core, Theme and Plugin Updates

    Patchstack counted 11,334 new WordPress flaws in 2025, 91% in plugins, and about half the high-impact ones were exploited within 24 hours.

  2. Daily Backups Off the Server

    Files and database copied daily, one copy away from the host, because a backup kept only on the server disappears with it.

  3. Uptime and Security Checks

    A monitor alerts me when the site stops answering, and checks catch a hacked page before customers do.

  4. An Hour of Changes Each Month

    New fees, a staff photo or Dashain and Tihar hours, without a new quote each time.

What Happens Without Care

The site slows, a form stops sending, then a plugin with a known flaw is exploited. PHP 8.2 also loses security fixes on 31 December 2026. A clean-up costs far more than prevention.

The full checklist is in my guide to website maintenance cost in Nepal.

10Market prices

WordPress Website Prices in Nepal: The Market and My Fixed Quote

CMS business websites are advertised in Nepal at about NPR 30,000 to 1,50,000. That range is approximate, from packages Nepali agencies and freelancers publish, not a formal survey.

CMS Website Case Study and Client Reviews

My published case studies are custom builds. The closest to this package is Pentagon Carpets, a Nepali carpet exporter whose staff run its website without a developer, through a self-service CMS I built in 2026.

It is not WordPress: the CMS is custom, in React, Express and PostgreSQL, with three staff roles. A build like it is quoted on its scope, not from this package.

What a Client Says

Average client rating: 4.9 out of 5.

Working with Ujjwal on our agency project was a remarkable experience. He approached the project with the precision of an engineer and the strategic thinking of a marketer. The website he built not only looks polished but ranks exceptionally well for our target keywords. His dedication to quality and his availability made the entire process seamless.

FAQ: WordPress Website Design in Nepal

Prices, hosting, care plans and the PDF quotation, answered before you ask.

Ask me on WhatsApp

How Much Does a WordPress Website Cost in Nepal?

With me, a WordPress business website starts from NPR 35,000 for up to 10 pages and a blog, built in 2 to 4 weeks. Every option is priced in the calculator above. Across Nepal, CMS sites are advertised at about NPR 30,000 to 1,50,000.

WordPress, Static or Custom: Which Should I Choose?

Choose WordPress if your staff publish news, notices or posts often. Choose a static site, from NPR 18,000, if a few pages rarely change: it is faster and free to host. Choose a custom build if the site is really an app.

Can My Staff Update the Website Themselves?

Yes. Your staff edit pages, posts, photos and menus in the WordPress dashboard, without code. The package includes a training call and a short written guide, and editors get only the access they need, so they can publish without breaking settings or installing plugins.

What is Not Included in the WordPress Package?

The domain and hosting, paid to the providers; paid licences, if a feature needs one; page text and photos, though text is an option at NPR 1,500 a page; and online payments, which are the online store package. VAT, where it applies, is added at 13%.

How Does the PDF Quotation Work?

Tick the options you need and the calculator totals them, with the payment stages and running costs. Download the quotation as a PDF, made in your browser, or send it to me. It is valid for 30 days; I confirm the scope after a short call.

Can I Pay for My Website in Stages?

Yes: 40% when the home page and one inner page are on your preview link, 40% when every page is built, and 20% at launch. On the NPR 35,000 package that is NPR 14,000, 14,000 and 7,000, by eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay QR or bank transfer.

How Much is WordPress Hosting in Nepal per Year?

Shared WordPress hosting costs about NPR 2,500 to 10,000 a year, by plan size and traffic. Choose a host in Nepal or nearby, such as Singapore or Mumbai, so pages load quickly, and check whether 13% VAT is added and what renewal costs.

Do I Need a WordPress Care Plan After Launch?

If nobody on your staff will update plugins and check backups, yes. Plugins are where WordPress sites get hacked, often within a day of a flaw going public. My care plan is NPR 3,000 a month for updates, daily backups, uptime and security checks.

Can You Move My Old Website to WordPress Without Losing Rankings?

Yes. Moving up to 50 pages, posts and images costs NPR 6,000, with a 301 redirect from every old URL, so the rankings those pages earned carry over. I keep URLs that already rank where I can, and watch Search Console after launch.

Can I Add an Online Store with eSewa and Khalti Later?

Yes. When you are ready to sell, the site moves to the online store package, from NPR 60,000, usually as WooCommerce on the same WordPress site. Every eSewa and Khalti payment is then verified on the server before an order counts as paid.
