What actually drives a website's price in Malaysia
Site type sets the baseline — a single landing page, a multi-page corporate site and a full e-commerce build with product catalogues, cart and checkout logic are fundamentally different scopes of work, not just different page counts of the same thing. From there, page count adds cost roughly linearly, but two factors change the scope more dramatically: custom design (original layout and visual design work vs. adapting an existing template) typically runs 1.5–2x a template-based build, and transactional features like payment integration or booking systems add both development complexity and ongoing security/maintenance responsibility that a static brochure page never needs.
The RM range shown is a one-time build cost; ongoing maintenance and hosting are a separate recurring line item, shown separately when you toggle it on, because bundling a monthly fee into a one-time number misrepresents both. Treat this as a planning range, not a fixed quote — your actual price depends on content readiness, specific integrations, and how many revision rounds a project realistically needs, all of which vary beyond what page count and feature checkboxes can capture.
