How much does a website cost for a small business in Panama?

With PanaMila Labs, a small business website costs from 400 USD, one-time payment: up to 7 sections in one language, ready in 7 days and in your name. The only recurring cost is the domain, which you pay directly in your name. If you later need changes or more systems, you hire them as an hour bank (10 hours for 200 USD or 20 for 350 USD) or a monthly plan from 300 USD.

If you look up how much a website costs in Panama, you'll find everything: offers under 100 USD and quotes over 1,500 USD for what looks like the same thing. The difference is rarely the design. It's what the price includes, what you pay afterwards, and whose name everything ends up in.

Here's what we charge, what's included and what isn't, so you can compare it with any other quote.

Our price: from 400 USD, one-time payment

A website with PanaMila Labs costs from 400 USD, one-time payment. It includes:

• Up to 7 sections in one language, designed for mobile first.
• WhatsApp from the first screen and a form that saves every inquiry before notifying you.
• Built-in scheduling with automatic confirmation.
• Analytics set up: how many people visit, where they come from and where they leave.
• Hosting on Cloudflare.
• One round of changes.
• Ready in 7 days from the moment you approve the proposal.

You pay in two parts, with a written proposal: 200 USD when you approve it and 200 USD on delivery.

And most importantly: the domain, the email and the site are in your name. If you ever want to switch providers, you take everything with you. Why this matters more than the price is in the article «Who owns your website?».

What 400 USD doesn't cover

It's a website to start receiving inquiries. It doesn't include an online store or payments, copywriting, a photo shoot, monthly maintenance or ad campaigns. More sections or a second language are also quoted separately. That's why the price is from 400 USD: in the free diagnosis we give you the exact number before we start.

What you pay every year

The only required recurring cost is the domain (your .com or .com.pa). You pay it yourself, directly to the registrar and in your name, once a year. It doesn't go through us, so nobody can hold it hostage.

When you compare quotes, always ask:

• Is the domain in my name or the provider's?
• Does hosting have a separate monthly cost? How much?
• Who has the passwords to the site and the email?
• What happens if I want to leave tomorrow?

A cheap website with the domain in someone else's account ends up being expensive.

After the website: hour bank or monthly plan

The website is usually the first step. What comes next (a change, a WhatsApp chatbot, a CRM, connecting systems) is hired however suits you:

• 10-hour bank, 200 USD: for occasional changes.
• 20-hour bank, 350 USD: for a small project or several changes at once.
• Monthly plan, from 300 USD: a technology team available every month, without hiring anyone.

That's how an outsourced technology department works: you start with the website and add what your business needs over time.

What about a 100 USD website?

It exists, and for some cases it's enough. Before deciding, check three things: whether the domain is in your name, whether the form's inquiries are saved somewhere (on many websites they get lost without anyone noticing: we covered it in «The inquiry that never arrived») and who helps you when something stops working.
