What Kind of Website Does Your Ghanaian Business Really Need? Let’s Help You Decide

What Kind of Website Does Your Ghanaian Business Really Need? Let’s Help You Decide

Building a website for your business in Ghana is a smart move—but not all websites serve the same purpose. The type of website you need depends on what your business does, how you interact with customers, and what your growth goals are.

Whether you run a boutique in Accra, a salon in Kumasi, or a startup targeting nationwide clients, choosing the right kind of website can help you reach your audience, streamline operations, and grow online.

At HOSTAFRICA, we help Ghanaian business owners choose between simple, professional websites and more advanced platforms with eCommerce, bookings, or content management—based on what actually works for your goals.



Ask the Right Questions Before You Start

To determine the right website for your business, consider these key questions:

What is the purpose of your website?

  • Is it to provide business information and contact details?
  • Do you want to sell products or services online?
  • Will customers need to book appointments or consultations?
  • Are you looking to generate leads, quote requests, or online enquiries?

How often will the website be updated?

  • Will you post new blog content, projects, or news?
  • Or will it stay mostly the same with occasional updates?

What specific features do you need?

  • Will you need a payment system like Mobile Money, Visa, or Mastercard?
  • Do you need a booking or appointment system?
  • Are there any interactive forms or member-only areas required?

What are your growth goals?

  • Do you plan to expand your offerings, open an online store, or create content regularly?
  • Or do you need a simple, affordable online presence to start with?

Our Website Packages for Ghanaian Businesses

At HOSTAFRICA, we offer two clear website options to meet different business needs.


Basic Website Package

This is perfect for businesses that want to establish a professional online presence without added complexity.

What’s included:

  • 5 to 7 pages (e.g. Home, About, Services, Contact, Gallery)
  • Clean, mobile-friendly design
  • Basic SEO to help your site show up on Google
  • Contact form and social media links
  • Design tailored to your brand

Ideal for:

  • Freelancers (writers, designers, photographers)
  • Small business owners (tailors, barbers, fashion houses)
  • Startups and entrepreneurs building trust online
  • Consultants and coaches

This is the right choice if your goal is to be found online, share what you do, and allow customers to contact you easily.


Advanced Website Package

For businesses that need more functionality — like accepting payments, running an online shop, or publishing content.

What’s included:

  • Everything in the Basic Package
  • Ecommerce tools to sell online (integrated with payment gateways like Mobile Money, Paystack, or Flutterwave)
  • Online booking systems
  • Blog or content management system
  • Member logins and custom forms
  • Advanced SEO options and more pages
