Why I Charge More to Build Your Website and What You Actually Get

Why I Charge More to Build Your Website in Cameroon

Let me be honest with you upfront:

If you’re looking for the cheapest website developer in Cameroon, I’m not your guy.

You’ll find plenty of developers and agencies out here who will promise to build your website for 70k, some even less.

And at first glance, it might look like the same thing I offer.

But it’s not.

Because what I build is not just a “website.”

It’s a business tool.
It’s a trust builder.
It’s a customer-generating machine.
And yes, it costs more because it delivers more.

“Why Are You So Expensive?”

I’ve heard this question many times. I get it.

Compared to most developers in Cameroon, my prices are higher.

But here’s the truth:

Most websites in Cameroon are just digital posters.

They’re slow, confusing, hard to use on mobile, and completely invisible on Google.

They do nothing for the business owner.

So yes, if your plan is to have a website that just “exists,” you should go with the cheaper option.

But if you want a site that actually helps your business grow, here’s what you get when you work with me:

1. Fast, Secure Hosting and Premium Domain Setup (Value: 70,000 FCFA+ Alone)

Most developers will include hosting in their package, but they won’t tell you this:

It’s usually slow, shared hosting from some random provider with no backups, no security, and constant downtime.

I use premium hosting built for speed and security.
Your site loads fast even on slow networks.

It’s protected against attacks.

And it includes automatic backups, SSL, and advanced performance tools.

Just the hosting I set up for you is worth more than what most developers charge for the whole website.

I don’t take shortcuts here. You shouldn’t either.

2. Google Business Profile Included (Most Developers Don’t Even Bother)

I’ve worked with businesses in Cameroon who had a site but didn’t show up on Google Maps.

That means nobody could find them locally.

When I create your website, I also create and fully optimize your Google Business Profile so you show up in local searches.

This alone can increase your inquiries immediately after launch.

Ask around 90% of the developers here won’t even mention this.

And yet, it’s one of the most important tools for local visibility.

3. SEO, GEO, and AIO Optimization (Not Just Google)

Search Engine Optimization is no longer just about Google.

In 2025, people are searching on Google, on Bing, inside apps, through AI tools, and even by voice.

That’s why I don’t just optimize your site for one platform. I optimize it for:

  • SEO (Search engines)

  • GEO (Local relevance and location-based visibility)

  • AIO (AI-generated answers and chatbot indexing)

Most developers in Cameroon are stuck in 2016 with basic SEO plugins and zero strategy.

I build your site to show up across platforms, not just one.

That’s how you stay visible in today’s online world.

4. Human Copywriting That Converts

Too many websites sound like a robot wrote them.

“We deliver exceptional services with unmatched excellence to our esteemed customers…”

That’s noise.

When I write the copy for your site, I make sure it sounds like you. Clear. Real. Simple. Persuasive.

It explains what you offer and makes the reader want to take action.

No AI gibberish. No complicated jargon. Just clean, honest language that gets the job done.

Most developers don’t include copywriting at all.

They’ll ask you to write the content.

But you’re a business owner, not a copywriter.

I handle it for you because copy is what turns traffic into customers.

5. Mobile-First, Speed-Optimized Design

Most of your customers in Cameroon are browsing from their phone.

So if your website is slow or broken on mobile, they’re gone.

I build every site with mobile-first design, meaning it looks great and works perfectly on every screen.

Your site loads fast even with poor internet.

I strip out unnecessary code, avoid bloated page builders, and optimize every single page for speed and usability.

If your competitor’s site takes 6 seconds to load and yours loads in 1 second, you win. Period.

6. Conversion-Focused Pages, Not Just Pretty Layouts

I don’t build websites just to look nice.

I build them to get you leads, calls, DMs, and bookings.

Every button, every section, every page is designed to guide the visitor toward taking action.

Because a website that looks nice but doesn’t bring results is a waste of money.

I’ve helped schools get more student inquiries.

Clinics get more patient bookings.

Local businesses get more visibility and trust.

And all of that started with a website that was built to convert, not just decorate.

7. You’re Not Paying for Pages. You’re Paying for Value

This is where most people get it wrong.

They think they’re paying for:

  • A homepage

  • An about page

  • A contact form

No. That’s not what you’re buying from me.

You’re buying:

  • A brand that looks trustworthy online

  • A presence that brings in new customers

  • A system that helps you grow without needing to explain yourself 100 times

  • A tool that keeps working for you 24/7

That’s what I actually sell.
And that’s why I charge more.

What Happens If You Choose the Cheaper Option?

Here’s what I’ve seen over and over:

  • You pay 70k or 90k for a site

  • It looks okay at first

  • It doesn’t load well on phones

  • You don’t show up on Google

  • You write the content yourself (and hate it)

  • There’s no traffic, no leads

  • You end up calling me a few months later to fix it

That “cheap” website ends up being very expensive when you add time lost, opportunities missed, and money wasted.

Why I Charge More and Why It’s Worth It

I charge more because I actually care about your results.

I care about whether your site:

  • Loads fast

  • Shows up on search

  • Brings you real customers

  • Helps your business grow

Most developers don’t.
They want quick work, fast cash, and zero follow-up.
That’s not how I work.

When I build your website, I treat it like your business depends on it because it does.

Wrapping Up

Don’t Gamble With Your First Impression

Your website is your first impression to 90% of your potential customers.

If it looks like trash, loads slow, and says nothing clear—it’s game over.

So if you’re serious about your business, you need to stop asking:

“How cheap can I get this done?”
and start asking:
“Who can build something that will actually work for me?”

If that’s the level you’re thinking at, then I’m ready to work with you.
