Web Design & Development in CairoYour Partner in Success

The cost depends on your business goals. Here at SM Web Studio we use custom code for all our websites. Therefore, a simple landing page with 4–5 sections starts from around 3,000 EGP, while a full single-page website with more sections, deeper detail, and advanced features can reach 30,000 EGP. For more complex projects, additional pages are available as needed. We provide clear pricing with no hidden fees after our first consultation.

We build all our websites using custom code. For landing pages and lightweight sites, we use Vanilla JS — pure, minimal code with no unnecessary dependencies, which means extremely fast load times. For more advanced, multi-page business websites, we use Next.js — a modern framework that handles dynamic content, routing, and performance optimization at scale. Neither uses WordPress or any page builders.

WordPress and website builders are faster to launch, but they are general-purpose tools built for everyone — which means they carry a lot of extra weight. Plugins, themes, and layers of code you don't actually need slow your site down, make it more vulnerable to hacking, and hurt your Google rankings since page speed is a direct ranking factor. Custom code is built specifically for your needs, so it loads faster, stays more secure, and performs better in search results.

Extremely difficult. Because your website is built as a static site — meaning pure code with no database, no login panel, and no plugins — there is almost nothing for a hacker to target. Most website hacks exploit WordPress vulnerabilities like outdated plugins or weak passwords. None of those entry points exist in a static custom-coded website, making it one of the most secure options available.

A Facebook page is a great starting point, but it has real limitations. You don't own it — Facebook can restrict your reach, change its algorithm, or suspend your page at any time. A website is yours completely. It also lets you show up on Google when people search for your services, which a Facebook page simply can't do. Together, they're much stronger than either one alone.

Social media is rented space — your website is your owned digital headquarters. A website builds professional credibility that social pages can't match, lets you appear on Google when people are actively searching for your services, and gives you full control over how your brand is presented. On a competitor's Facebook page, their ads can appear right next to your content. That never happens on your own website.

Absolutely. Every website we build is fully responsive, meaning it automatically adapts to look and work perfectly on any screen — phone, tablet, or desktop. This is not optional for us, it's built into everything we do. Given that most people in Egypt browse on mobile, this is something we take very seriously.

Yes, completely. Once the project is delivered and final payment is made, the website and all its files are 100% yours. You own the code, the design, and everything in it. We don't hold anything back or lock you into any ongoing contract. You're free to host it wherever you want and work with whoever you want going forward.

We include up to 3 rounds of revisions during the build. In our experience, that's always enough — especially since we align on the design direction before we start building. Revisions beyond that are handled as small paid adjustments. Our goal is to get it right well within those rounds, not to count them against you.

Yes. Your website isn't frozen after launch. If your business grows and you want to add a new section, a new feature, or expand the site, we can handle that as additional paid work. Because we built it with clean custom code, making changes is straightforward — there's no plugin mess or platform limitations to work around.

It depends on how your current website was built. If it was built with custom code, then yes — we can redesign and improve it. We'll just need access to the existing files and hosting settings, either from you or your previous developer. If your website is built on WordPress, we unfortunately can't work with it directly, but we can build you a brand new custom-coded website that will outperform it in speed, security, and SEO.

Yes. We build fully bilingual websites that support both Arabic and English, including proper right-to-left (RTL) layout for Arabic. Switching between languages is seamless for your visitors, and both versions are optimized for SEO so your business gets found in both languages on Google. Keep in mind that bilingual websites require additional development work and are priced accordingly — we'll include this clearly in your quote.

It depends on the scope of the project. A simple landing page with 4–5 sections is typically ready within 5 to 7 business days once we have all your content, images, and branding. A more advanced single-page website with deeper sections and custom features can take 1 to 2 weeks. The biggest factor that affects timeline is how quickly content is provided on your end.

We accept cash and InstaPay. No complicated payment systems or bank transfers. After we agree on the project scope and price, we'll share the payment details with you directly. Simple and straightforward.

Yes. We typically split the payment into two parts — 50% upfront to begin the project, and the remaining 50% upon delivery before the website goes live. This protects both sides and keeps things clear from day one.

Not a problem at all. Many clients come to us at an early stage. We can work with what you have — even if it's just a name and a general idea of your business. If you need a logo or brand identity designed, we can handle that as a separate service before we start building your website.

Yes. Everything we do is remote, so location is never a barrier. We've worked with businesses across Egypt and the entire process — consultation, design, delivery — happens online. Wherever you're based, we can build your website.

Because we build with custom code rather than a CMS like WordPress, you won't be able to edit the website directly, editing it yourself requires a dashboard, which transforms a static page into a more complex project. This feature is available as a paid add-on. However, that's why we also include up to 3 free minor content updates every month — things like swapping images, updating text, or adjusting details, 99% of the time, that's more than you'll ever need.

Google may index your website within days, but ranking for competitive keywords in Cairo usually takes 3 to 6 months. We optimize your website speed, structure, and content from day one to improve your visibility in local search results as efficiently as possible.

We handle the technical setup for you. We recommend the best hosting providers for speed and reliability in Egypt, and help you secure your .com or .com.eg domain. These are annual costs paid directly to the provider — typically small and straightforward. We make sure everything is correctly linked to your custom-coded website so you don't have to worry about any of the technical side.

Yes. A well-built website and a Google Business Profile work together to strengthen your local presence. We structure your website so Google can clearly recognize your business, its location, and its services — making it easier for customers in Cairo to find you whether they're searching on Google Search or Google Maps.

Just the basics: your logo, a description of your services, and any photos you have. If you don't have professional photos or written content ready, that's not a problem — we offer copywriting support and can help source high-quality imagery that fits your brand. The goal is to make the process as easy as possible on your end.

Our main focus is high-performance landing pages and business websites. That said, we can integrate simple buying options such as WhatsApp purchase buttons or lightweight checkout flows for straightforward selling needs. If you're looking to build a large online store with a significant product catalog, we can discuss a custom solution built on Next.js tailored to your requirements.

Yes. If anything ever breaks or stops working on your website, we'll fix it — free of charge, forever. Any additional changes or new features beyond that are handled as paid work. Our goal is to make sure your website stays up, running, and problem-free long after launch.
