How much does a website cost in Kazakhstan: prices for a landing page and a multipage website

A website's price in Kazakhstan depends on scope, not the city: page count, whether texts are ready, which integrations are needed. My landing page is from $190, a multipage website from $490, a complex project - on request. I cover what is included, remote work and how not to overpay.

Website acceptance checklist: what to check before the final payment

The final payment is your last point of leverage. I break down what to check before it: whether enquiries arrive, whether analytics sees them, how the site opens on a phone, the state of the texts and speed, what access you must be given and what to do with the flaws you find.

What a website spec is and whether a small business needs one

The timeline depends not on how fast the code is written, but on the size of the site and on how quickly the client sends content and makes decisions. A simple landing page usually takes days, a multipage site takes weeks. Projects wait longest for the texts and photos.

How to Choose a Web Developer and Not Get Burned

Don't judge a portfolio by its pictures - look at live sites you can actually open. Before you pay, put the scope, the price and what happens after handover in writing. The main red flags: 100% prepayment, refusing to show real projects, and a price far below market.

Why a $50 website costs more than it looks

A $50 website is a builder template or a beginner freelancer. The price is low, but you pay later: add-ons for every feature, a rebuild with a second contractor, leads lost to weak structure. Cheap makes sense for testing a hypothesis, not for a site you need money from.

How much does a website cost in Tashkent in 2026

A website in Tashkent in 2026 costs anywhere from 500,000 to 50 million so'm - a hundredfold spread. Price depends not on page count but on whether it's a template or development built for your task.
