Quick answer
Website development cost in India for a small business usually falls between ₹9,999 and ₹49,999 in 2026, and ecommerce or custom features cost more. With Anurag Kamboj's team, a one-page landing page starts at ₹9,999, a business website of up to 8 pages at ₹19,999, an ecommerce store at ₹39,999 and a custom-designed Next.js website at ₹49,999. The price depends mainly on the number of unique page designs, static versus dynamic features, who writes the content, integrations such as payments or bookings, and the SEO and speed standard you need. Budget separately for the domain (about ₹800 to ₹1,200 a year), hosting, business email and maintenance from ₹2,999 a month. Very cheap quotes often skip mobile speed, SEO structure and ownership of the domain and code, which costs more to fix later. Every quote from us is fixed and in writing before work starts.

What we do
Why do website prices in India vary so much?
Two websites with the same number of pages can differ in price by 5x. These are the reasons.
Number of unique page designs
Ten pages using one template cost far less than ten individually designed pages. Most businesses need 3 to 4 templates.
Static vs dynamic
A static website shows fixed information. A dynamic one has logins, bookings, a product catalogue or a database, which adds development and testing time.
Content and copywriting
If you supply text and photos, the cost is lower. Writing SEO-focused content for every service page is a real chunk of work.
Integrations
Payment gateways, CRMs, booking calendars, WhatsApp APIs and ERP connections each add scope.
Languages
English plus Hindi or Punjabi versions need translated content, separate URLs and hreflang setup.
SEO and speed standards
A site built to pass Core Web Vitals with proper structure and schema takes more care than a theme installed as-is.
Compare
Static vs dynamic website cost
| Static website | Dynamic website | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Fixed pages you edit occasionally | Content from a database, with logins or forms |
| Examples | Company profile, clinic, consultant | Ecommerce, booking, portals, directories |
| Starting price | ₹9,999 | ₹19,999 |
| Hosting needs | Very low | Moderate, needs backups |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Regular updates |

Website cost by platform
The platform changes both the build price and what you pay every year after launch.
| Platform | Our starting price | Recurring costs | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix and similar) | Your own time | Monthly or yearly plan, locked to the builder | Testing an idea on a tiny budget |
| WordPress | ₹19,999 | Hosting, domain, any premium plugin licences | Business websites you update often |
| Shopify | ₹24,999 | Monthly Shopify plan and paid apps | Starting to sell online quickly |
| WooCommerce | ₹39,999 | Hosting, domain, payment gateway fees | Online stores you fully own |
| Custom (Next.js) | ₹49,999 | Hosting and a CMS plan if needed | Custom design, integrations and speed |
Not sure which platform fits? Our Next.js vs WordPress guide walks through the choice.

Website cost by business type
What most businesses in each category need, and where that usually starts with us.
| Business | What it usually needs | Typical starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Startup testing an idea | One landing page with a lead form | ₹9,999 |
| Clinic, coaching institute or consultant | 5 to 8 service pages, enquiry forms, Google Business Profile | ₹19,999 |
| Restaurant, hotel or real estate | Photo galleries, project or room pages, booking or enquiry forms | ₹19,999 |
| Manufacturer or exporter | Product catalogue with specs, quote requests, brochures | ₹49,999 |
| Retail or D2C brand | Online store with payments, shipping and GST invoices | ₹39,999 |
| Business with bookings, logins or a portal | Custom features, integrations and an admin panel | ₹49,999 |
These are starting points, not fixed packages. Your quote follows the actual page list and features.
Website banane ka kharcha: costs most quotes leave out
The build price is only part of what a website costs. Before you compare quotes, ask each provider about these recurring costs:
- Domain name: about ₹800 to 1,200 per year for a .com or .in
- Hosting: ₹3,000 to 12,000 per year for a reliable business host, more for high-traffic stores
- SSL certificate: free with most good hosts, so do not pay extra for a basic one
- Premium themes or plugins: some carry yearly licence fees
- Business email: about ₹1,500 to 2,000 per user per year on Google Workspace
- Maintenance: from ₹2,999 per month if you want updates, backups and security handled
- Payment gateway fees: usually around 2% per transaction for online stores
What an ecommerce website costs, with a real example
Online stores cost more than business websites because of the catalogue, payments, shipping and order management. Our ecommerce websites start at ₹39,999 and Shopify setups at ₹24,999.
What moves the price is the catalogue structure, not the page count. For AI Chashma, a Shopify store selling AI smart glasses in India, most of the work went into organising 10+ models into four series, building shop-by-budget and power-lens collections, and setting up Razorpay checkout and buying guides. A store with a simple catalogue and one payment option costs much less.

Agency, freelancer or DIY builder?
We offer both a full agency engagement and a freelance / dedicated developer model, so you can pick what fits the project. A DIY builder is fine for a very small start.
| DIY builder (Wix, etc.) | Our freelance / dedicated developer | Our full agency team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Testing an idea on a tiny budget | Defined tasks, updates or extra capacity for your team | New websites and stores that need design, development and SEO |
| Upfront cost | Low | Lowest of our options, billed by scope or time | Medium, fixed written quote |
| Who builds it | You | One experienced developer from our team | Developers, a designer and an SEO specialist, with one point of contact |
| SEO foundations | Basic | As scoped | Built in from day one |
| Ownership | Locked to the platform | Domain, code and hosting in your name | Domain, code and hosting in your name |
Not sure which model fits? Tell us about the project and we will recommend the simpler, cheaper option if it will do the job.
Included
Red flags in a cheap website quote
A ₹3,000 website usually costs more in the end. Watch out for these:
- The domain or hosting is registered in the developer's name
- No written scope listing pages and features
- A pirated or nulled premium theme
- Shared hosting with dozens of other sites and no backups
- No SEO setup, no Search Console, no analytics
- Yearly “renewal” charges far above the real domain and hosting cost
- No admin access handed over to you
- Copy-pasted content that Google treats as duplicate
Included
What a website development quote should include
Two quotes are only comparable if they cover the same things. A proper quote lists:
- Every page, and how many of them get a unique design
- Features and integrations: forms, payments, bookings, WhatsApp, CRM
- Who writes the content and supplies the photos
- SEO setup: titles, schema, sitemap, Search Console, Analytics
- Mobile speed target and testing
- Domain, hosting and email: who pays, and in whose name
- Number of design revision rounds
- Free support period after launch, and the cost after that
- Payment milestones and the delivery timeline
How it works
How to budget for a website
Work through these in order and you will know your real cost before you speak to anyone.
- 01
Pick the type
Landing page, business website, online store or custom build. This sets the starting range.
- 02
List the pages
Write down every service, product line or location that needs its own page.
- 03
Decide on content
Will you supply text and photos, or should they be written and shot for you?
- 04
Add features
Payments, bookings, logins, multiple languages and integrations each add to the build.
- 05
Add yearly running costs
Domain, hosting, email, plugin licences and maintenance, every year after launch.
How to reduce website development cost without cutting corners
A lower price is fine as long as the foundations are right. These are the honest ways to spend less:
- Start with fewer pages and add more once the site is bringing enquiries
- Use one or two page templates for similar pages instead of a unique design for each
- Prepare your text, photos and product data before the project starts
- Use WordPress or Shopify when a custom build is not needed
- Leave nice-to-have features for a second phase
- Keep the domain and hosting in your name so you never pay inflated renewals

Website Development Cost in India: frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in India in 2026?
A simple landing page starts around ₹9,999, a 5 to 8 page business website from ₹19,999, an ecommerce website from ₹39,999 and a custom website from ₹49,999. Domain, hosting and GST are extra.
What is the cost of a WordPress website in India?
A professionally built WordPress business website starts at ₹19,999. A WooCommerce store on WordPress starts at ₹39,999. Premium plugins and hosting are recurring costs on top.
Why are some websites offered for ₹3,000 to 5,000?
Very cheap websites are usually a ready-made theme with your logo added, on crowded shared hosting, with no SEO, no custom content and often the domain in the developer's name. They work as an online visiting card but rarely bring enquiries.
What is the yearly cost of running a website?
For a typical business website, expect roughly ₹5,000 to 15,000 per year for domain and hosting, plus optional maintenance from ₹2,999 per month. Online stores also pay payment gateway fees per order.
Is a static or dynamic website cheaper?
A static website is cheaper to build and host. A dynamic website costs more because of databases, logins and admin panels, but is needed for ecommerce, bookings or content that changes often.
Do you charge GST?
Prices on this page exclude GST. Your written quote will show the GST amount separately.
How are payments structured?
Usually 50% to start, 30% after design approval and 20% at launch. Larger projects can be split into milestones.
What does a small business website cost in India?
Most small businesses need 5 to 8 pages with enquiry forms and Google Business Profile linked, which starts at ₹19,999 with us. If you only need one page for ads or a single service, a landing page starts at ₹9,999.
Is a freelancer cheaper than an agency?
Usually, for small and clearly defined jobs. We offer both: freelance and ad hoc work from ₹999 an hour, and full agency projects at fixed prices. For a new website that needs design, development and SEO together, a fixed agency quote is often better value.
How much does a website cost per month?
After launch, a business website mainly costs hosting, the domain renewal and business email, spread over the year. If you want updates, backups and security handled for you, maintenance starts at ₹2,999 a month.
Does a website redesign cost less than a new website?
Often it does, when the content, structure and some designs can be reused. If the old site needs a new platform, new content and a full SEO migration, it costs about the same as a new build. We quote after looking at the current site.
How long does it take to build a website in India?
About a week for a landing page, 2 to 3 weeks for a business website, 4 to 6 weeks for a WooCommerce store or custom website. Delays usually come from content and photos, not development.
