The most common question from both sides of the marketplace: what is a fair price? Clients are afraid of overpaying, freelancers are afraid of undercharging, and the dollar pricing of everything makes old reference points useless. Here are 2026 market ranges gathered from Lebanese freelancers and agencies, research-based rather than platform data.
Design and branding
A professional logo runs $80 to $400 depending on experience and how complete the package is (a logo alone versus a full identity with brand guidelines, social kits, and print files). Full brand identities for established businesses reach $600 and beyond. Menus, flyers, and packaging typically cost $40 to $150 per piece.
Websites and development
A clean landing page starts around $300. A full business website with several pages, contact forms, and Arabic support runs $500 to $1,500. E-commerce with payment integration lands between $800 and $3,000. Custom web applications are quoted per project, usually from $1,500 upward.
Backend and API work is often priced hourly instead: $25 to $60 per hour is the current Lebanese range for experienced developers.
Marketing, content, and media
The recurring services that most businesses buy monthly:
- Social media management: $250-700 per month depending on posting volume
- Short-form video editing: $25-60 per reel, with bulk packs cheaper per video
- Product photography: $100-300 for a small catalog, $650+ for a full-day shoot
- Translation: $0.05-0.10 per word across Arabic, English, and French
- SEO and content writing: $50-150 per article with keyword research
Advice for clients: cheap is expensive
The $30 logo usually costs you twice: once when you pay for it, and again when you pay someone competent to redo it. Judge value by reviews and portfolio quality within a price band, not by the lowest number on the screen.
Advice for freelancers: anchor with packages
Single prices force clients to negotiate. Three-tier packages let them upgrade themselves. Structure the middle tier as your real price, make the basic tier a genuinely smaller scope (not a discount), and load the premium tier with the extras that cost you little but feel valuable: source files, extra revisions, faster delivery.
