"How much will this cost?" is the first question every business owner asks, and the honest answer is: it depends. Here's what actually drives the price, and what to expect for different kinds of websites.
What affects website cost in India
- Complexity: a simple five-page site costs very differently than a 500-product store
- Design: custom design takes longer than a premium theme, but a theme sacrifices uniqueness for speed
- Features: payment gateways, booking systems, multilingual support, and integrations all add cost
Cost breakdown by website type
Landing page: ₹10,000–₹40,000 A focused single page for campaigns and lead generation. Fast to build, fast to launch.
Business/brochure website: ₹25,000–₹80,000 The standard 5–10 page site covering what your business does, built on WordPress or Next.js.
E-commerce website: ₹50,000–₹2,00,000+ Varies a lot based on requirements:
| Type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic Shopify (theme-based) | ₹50,000–₹80,000 |
| Custom Shopify | ₹80,000–₹1,50,000 |
| WooCommerce | ₹60,000–₹2,00,000+ |
HTML email template: ₹5,000–₹20,000 A single responsive template that renders correctly across email clients.
What to watch out for
- Cheap quotes that hide costs: hosting, SSL, domain, and maintenance often aren't included
- Scope creep: without a documented agreement, "small additions" pile up fast
- Offshore shortcuts: communication gaps are common; a local studio understands the market and is easier to reach after launch
Bottom line
Budget ₹30,000–₹50,000 for a solid business website. Think of it as an investment, not an expense. If you want a number specific to your project, reach out and we'll give you a straight quote.
