Web Design & Development in Nepal

Web design in Nepal usually means a template, a launch and silence. I build websites the other way round: decide what each page must say and measure, then design, then build on WordPress so your team can edit it. This is the parent page for all web services under digital marketing services.

  • WordPress builds for Nepal and abroad
  • Tracking and SEO set up at launch
  • Portfolio available

Who this is for

Businesses that need a site that produces enquiries: clinics, law firms, tour operators, finance companies, agencies and founders. If you want a brochure that looks good and is never measured, a template shop will be cheaper. If you want a site that is fast, ranks, tracks every enquiry and can be edited without a developer, this is the service.

What a build includes

  • Sitemap and page-by-page content plan agreed before design, including the primary search term and the conversion action for each page.
  • Copy support: I write or edit page copy so the site says what buyers need to hear; full rewrites are scoped under copywriting.
  • Design in a component system (hero, service blocks, proof strips, FAQ, CTA) so new pages stay consistent after launch.
  • WordPress build on a custom or lightweight theme, no page-builder bloat, editable in the block editor.
  • Speed work at build time: image formats, caching, font loading and script control aimed at passing Core Web Vitals on mobile.
  • SEO structure: clean URLs, titles and meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, schema markup, XML sitemap, redirects from any old URLs.
  • Measurement: GA4 and Google Tag Manager installed, with form, call, WhatsApp click and key page events firing before launch.
  • Forms that go somewhere: enquiries by email plus a Google Sheet or CRM, with spam protection.
  • Launch checklist, training session for your team, and 30 days of post-launch fixes.

Which web service do you need?

This page scopes a standard business site. The neighbouring pages cover specific needs:

How I build a website

  1. Discovery and scope (week one). Goals, audience, competitors, existing analytics and a page list. You get a fixed quote and a schedule.
  2. Content and structure (weeks one to two). Sitemap, wireframes and the copy for each page. Design does not start until the words exist; designing around Lorem Ipsum is how sites end up with nothing to say.
  3. Design (weeks two to three). Homepage and one inner template first, then the rest of the system after one round of feedback.
  4. Build (weeks three to five). WordPress theme, pages, forms, integrations and speed work on a staging site you can review.
  5. Tracking and SEO checks (week five). GA4, GTM, events, redirects, sitemap, schema and a crawl to catch broken links before anyone sees them.
  6. Launch and handover. DNS switch, post-launch crawl, Search Console submission, a training session and a written checklist.

A typical business site takes five to seven weeks from kickoff. The most common delay is content approval on the client side, which is why I ask for the copy decisions first.

Decisions I make with you before design

  • Platform. WordPress for almost every business site; WooCommerce for stores; custom code only when the requirement justifies the maintenance cost.
  • Language. English, Nepali or both, and if both, whether that means duplicate pages with hreflang or a single bilingual layout.
  • Conversion action. Call, WhatsApp, form or booking. Nepal sites usually convert through WhatsApp; the button placement and tracking follow from that.
  • Hosting. Where the site lives, who pays, and who holds the credentials. You own the domain, the hosting account and the site; I never hold them hostage.
  • What the site must survive. If you run ads, the landing pages come first; if you depend on search, the redesign protects existing URLs through website migration SEO.

Common mistakes in Nepal websites

  • Page builders with 40 plugins that load in six seconds on a mobile connection.
  • Contact forms that email a mailbox nobody checks and no record anywhere else.
  • Stock photos of foreign offices on a Kathmandu business site, which readers notice.
  • No analytics, or GA4 pasted in with no events, so nobody knows which page produced the enquiry.
  • Redesigns that change every URL with no redirects and lose years of rankings in a week.

Pricing pointer

Websites are quoted as fixed-price projects after the discovery call, based on page count, custom functionality and content needs. A standard WordPress business site, an eCommerce store and a custom build sit in different price bands; indicative ranges are listed on the packages page and in the digital marketing cost guide. Hosting, domain and premium plugin licences are paid by you at cost.

Next step

Send me your current site (if any), the pages you think you need and a rough deadline, and I will reply with questions and a quote. For everything else I offer around the site, go back to the digital marketing hub.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in Nepal?

It depends on the number of pages, whether you need eCommerce or custom features, and how much content has to be written. I quote a fixed price after one discovery call so there are no hourly surprises. Indicative bands are on the packages page.

How long does it take to build a website?

Five to seven weeks for a standard business site once content decisions are made. Stores and custom builds take longer. The schedule is in the quote, and the usual cause of delay is content approval rather than development.

Do you build on WordPress or custom code?

WordPress for most business sites, WooCommerce for stores, and custom development only when a theme cannot meet the requirement. WordPress keeps you independent: any developer can maintain it later, and your team can edit pages without me.

Will the site be SEO-friendly?

The structure, speed, titles, schema, sitemap and redirects are handled as part of the build. Ongoing ranking work such as keyword research, content and links is a separate service under SEO, and I will tell you what the site needs after launch.

Can you redesign my existing site without losing rankings?

Yes. A redesign starts with a crawl of every existing URL and its traffic, a redirect map, and a check that titles, content and internal links carry over. That work is covered under website redesign and website migration SEO.

Who owns the website after it is built?

You do. The domain, hosting and WordPress admin are in your name from day one. I hand over all credentials and documentation at launch, and a maintenance plan is optional, not required.
