Website development in Almaty has no single price: the cost is determined by the project type, the scope of functionality, and the number of integrations. As a reference, InterLAB's ranges: a landing page at 150,000–250,000 ₸, a corporate website at 350,000–600,000 ₸, a catalog or online store at 600,000 ₸ to 1.2 million ₸, and maintenance at 25,000–50,000 ₸ per month. The exact cost of a specific project is calculated after a brief and a review of the task.

Why a Website Has No Fixed Price
A website is not a product with a price tag but a project with a variable scope of work. Two "corporate websites" can differ several-fold in effort:
One "corporate website"
- Five standard pages
- A request form
Another "corporate website"
- A catalog with filters
- A customer account area
- A 1C integration
The right question is not "how much does a website cost" but "how much does it cost to solve my problem."
The price is built from the scope of work, and it is that scope that needs to be fixed before the start — in the brief and the proposal.
In Almaty, and across Kazakhstan generally, quotes vary widely because the same phrase — "website development" — hides very different amounts of planning, design, and code. What is worth comparing is not the bottom-line figures but what stands behind them.
What Makes Up the Cost of Website Development
Any verifiable estimate breaks down into stages. The baseline scope of work looks like this:
Analysis and planning
Page structure, user scenarios, requirements for the SEO architecture.
Design
Mockups of the key pages, adaptation for mobile devices, a UI kit for standard elements.
Frontend
Layout and interface logic, load speed, correct behavior across devices.
Backend and CMS
Admin panel, content management, handling of forms and inquiries.
Integrations
Analytics, CRM, payment services, 1C — as the project requires.
QA and launch
Testing, domain and hosting setup, handover of access credentials.

- Timeline
- —
- What's included

The spread within each range comes down to volume: the number of pages, the complexity of the design, the number of integrations, and who prepares the content — the client or the studio.
What Pushes the Price Up
A customer account area, roles, and access rights
- Why it costs more
- this brings in a full backend with authentication and data storage
Integrations with 1C, Kaspi, payment services, and CRM
- Why it costs more
- each is a separate block of work, with data-exchange testing
Custom design and animation
- Why it costs more
- individual graphics and complex interactive blocks cost more than standard solutions
Multiple languages
- Why it costs more
- Kazakh, Russian, and English are not a matter of translating texts but a separate content and URL structure
The volume and preparation of content
- Why it costs more
- texts, photos, and catalog data that need to be collected, processed, and uploaded
Migration from an old site
- Why it costs more
- transferring content, preserving search rankings, setting up redirects
Where You Can Save — and Where You Shouldn't
Sensible savings mean cutting scope, not quality.
Where you can save
- Launch the first version with a minimal set of pages and grow the site along a roadmap: the core first, then the catalog, the account area, the integrations — this is a normal practice
- Prepare the content yourself: texts, photos, the catalog structure. Collecting and processing materials takes a noticeable share of the estimate, and clients can often cover this part on their own
Where you shouldn't
- Planning
- The mobile version
- QA
Mistakes in planning, the mobile version, and QA surface after launch, when fixing them costs more.
Ongoing Costs After Launch
The cost of a website does not end with development. The budget should include recurring items from the start:
- Domain renewal
- Hosting
- An SSL certificate
- Content work
Maintenance is a separate line: platform updates, uptime monitoring, backups, minor edits. At InterLAB this service costs 25,000–50,000 ₸ per month depending on the scope; with any contractor, what matters is that the scope of maintenance is fixed in writing.
How to Get an Exact Estimate: Practical Takeaway
The exact cost of a website cannot be named before a brief — but it can be calculated quickly after one. The normal process:
Task
You describe the task.
Clarification
The contractor clarifies the details.
Estimate
The contractor comes back with the scope of work, the timeline, and the price.
For an accurate estimate, prepare three things for the brief:
- What business problem the site should solve
- Which sections and features are needed in the first version
- Which systems will have to be connected — from analytics to 1C and payment processing
If the task is outlined even in rough terms, send it to us — we will estimate the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost after a brief.
