This guide breaks down what affects the cost, what many local quotes leave out, and how Revamped GY delivers stronger value for money through clear pricing, local-first setup and long-term support.
What affects website cost in Guyana
1) The type of website
A basic business website usually costs less than an e-commerce store or a booking system because selling and booking requires extra workflows. An e-commerce store needs product structure, a basket, checkout, payment options, order management and testing. A booking website needs availability rules, confirmations, calendar logic and admin workflows.
2) Number of pages and content readiness
Cost increases when you have more pages or when content is not ready. Content work includes writing, formatting, selecting images, creating sections and aligning headings for SEO. If you provide polished text and images, you reduce the build time and the overall price.
3) Design level and custom layout work
A clean standard layout is faster than a fully custom layout system. Custom design can include unique sections, multiple page templates, more revisions, advanced animations and layout testing across devices. If your brand assets are not ready, design time increases.
4) Features and integrations
Each integration adds build time and testing time. Common integrations include payment gateways, WhatsApp buttons, order notifications, shipping rules, CRM tools, email marketing platforms and third-party APIs. This matters because functionality is the main driver of cost, not only visuals.
5) Hosting tier and performance expectations
Hosting quality affects speed, uptime, backups and security. A small brochure site can run on a basic plan. A store should be on stronger hosting because downtime, slow loading and payment issues can directly reduce revenue.
6) Security and maintenance
A website needs updates, backups and monitoring. Without a maintenance plan, you still have maintenance work, which means your team must handle it or you pay for fixes when issues appear. Security is important for trust, which means customers are more likely to complete forms and purchases when the site is stable and protected.
7) SEO scope
SEO can mean basic on-page setup or a full strategy. Basic SEO includes clean headings, meta titles, image alt text, fast loading and good internal linking. Advanced SEO includes keyword research, content planning, local SEO, technical audits and ongoing blog publishing.
Hidden costs many businesses do not budget for
In Guyana, many quotes focus on the build only, then the real costs appear later. These are common hidden costs:
- Domain renewals and domain DNS changes
- Hosting renewals and server upgrades when traffic increases
- Premium plugin licences and theme renewals
- Security cleanup after malware or spam
- Speed fixes after heavy plugins are installed
- Ongoing small edits that were not included in the original scope
Transparent pricing improves trust, which means you can plan cash flow and avoid emergency spending.
Why Revamped GY is better value for money
Revamped GY focuses on practical outcomes and long-term ownership. Many businesses pay twice when they choose a cheap build that lacks security, performance and support. We price fairly and we include what is needed for the website to work reliably in Guyana.
We publish real ranges and quote based on scope
We do not quote based on a vague idea of “a website”. We quote based on what it must do, which means you get a clear breakdown of cost drivers. Revamped GY lists one-time builds at GYD $100,000 to $950,000 and recurring care at GYD $5,000 to $80,000 per month, then confirms the exact price after a free consult.
Local-first setup that reduces delays
We build for Guyana’s reality, which means local-first thinking on payments, support and setup speed. Our process focuses on reducing downtime and launch friction.
.gy domains with local support and clear pricing
Revamped GY offers .gy domain registration from GYD $6,500 per year with local support, DNS help and renewal reminders. Many overseas registrars list .gy around USD $38 per year excluding VAT, and you still have to handle setup and conversions.
Security, performance and handover are treated as standard
We treat security and performance as part of value. A good website is not only a design. It is speed, stability, backups, clean structure and support. This reduces long-term cost because you avoid repeated repairs.
We also build systems, not only websites
If your business needs automation, dashboards or workflows, we build custom software solutions in addition to standard websites. This is useful when a business outgrows basic plugins and needs a system that matches how the organisation operates.

A quick way to estimate your website price
If you want a fast estimate before requesting a quote, answer these questions:
- What type of website is it: business website, e-commerce store, booking site, or custom system?
- How many pages do you need at launch, and is your content ready?
- Do you need payments, and which payment methods must be included?
- Do you want ongoing care, or will your team handle updates and backups?
- What is your target launch date?
If you want to reduce cost, start with an MVP. An MVP is a minimum viable product, which means the smallest version that achieves the business goal while leaving optional features for later phases.
FAQs: Website cost in Guyana
How much does a website cost in Guyana?
Website cost in Guyana depends on scope. A small business website costs less than an e-commerce store or a custom system because feature complexity increases build and testing time. The best approach is to request a scoped quote based on your exact requirements.
Why are website quotes so different in Guyana?
Quotes differ because they include different levels of design, content work, security, performance and support. Some quotes exclude maintenance, hosting quality and paid licences, which can cause higher costs later.
What should be included in a proper website quote?
A proper quote should include scope, pages, features, integrations, content responsibilities, timelines, payment terms, hosting assumptions, security approach and what support is included after launch.
Do I need a .gy domain?
A .gy domain is useful for local trust and branding in Guyana. It also helps customers recognise that the business is local.
