Most Malaysian small-business websites cost RM2,500–RM20,000. A simple one-page site can be RM800–RM1,500, a 5–8 page business site RM2,500–RM5,000, and an e-commerce store RM5,000–RM12,000+. The final price depends on the number of pages, features like booking or online payment, and whether content and branding are included.
A "RM1,500 website" usually excludes domain, hosting, SSL and maintenance. In year 2 you often pay another RM1,500–RM3,000 in renewals and small fixes, and many cheap builds have no SEO, are slow, or can't be edited without paying the original developer. The sticker price is rarely the real cost.
Recurring costs include a domain (about RM55–RM80/year), hosting (RM200–RM800/year), an SSL certificate (RM0–RM300/year), and maintenance or small fixes (RM600–RM3,000/year). Tablesites bundles hosting, domain, SSL and maintenance into a transparent plan so there are no surprise renewals.
For a new restaurant, salon or service business that mainly needs to be found on Google and take calls or WhatsApp messages, a fast one-page site (RM800–RM1,500) is often enough to start. You can grow into a multi-page site later as you add menus, booking or e-commerce.
Not with most cheap freelancers. A proper quote should state whether on-page SEO and Google Business Profile (Maps / "near me") setup are included. Tablesites includes local SEO and GBP visibility so customers can actually find you — not just a website that exists but nobody sees.
