Website Cost in India 2026: A Complete Price Guide
"How much will my website cost?" is the first question almost every client asks us. The honest answer is that it depends on what the website needs to do. A one-page site for a local shop and an online store with 500 products are completely different projects.
This guide breaks down what a website costs in India in 2026, what drives the price, and the yearly costs you should budget for after launch.
Quick answer: website prices in India (2026)
These are our published starting prices in INR.
| Type of website | Starting price | Typical delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page | ₹2,999 | 3 – 5 days |
| Basic business website (up to 5 pages) | ₹5,999 | 7 days |
| WordPress / CMS website (up to 10 pages) | ₹9,999 | 7 – 10 days |
| Dynamic website with admin panel | ₹19,999 | 2 – 3 weeks |
| E-commerce store | ₹29,999 | 3 – 4 weeks |
| Custom web application | ₹74,999 | 6 – 10 weeks |
Across the Indian market, you will see quotes from about ₹2,000 for a template site from a freelancer up to several lakhs for agency-built platforms. The gap is mostly about the amount of custom work, who builds it, and what support you get afterwards.
What actually drives the price?
1. Number of pages and amount of content
A 5-page site (Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact) is quick to build. A 40-page site with service pages for every city you serve takes much longer. Writing and arranging that content takes time too.
2. Template vs custom design
A good template customised with your logo, colours and photos keeps costs low. A fully custom design made from scratch in Figma costs more, but makes your brand stand out. If you want custom design, budget for a UI/UX design phase first.
3. Can you edit it yourself?
A static site is cheapest, but you need a developer for every change. A WordPress website or a site with a custom admin panel lets you update text, photos, blog posts and prices yourself.
4. Features
Each of these adds work:
- Online payments (UPI, cards, Razorpay, PayPal)
- User login and customer accounts
- Booking or appointment systems
- Product catalogues, carts and inventory
- Integrations with CRMs, WhatsApp, Google Sheets or accounting software
- Multiple languages (for example English and Hindi)
5. E-commerce
An online store is a bigger project. It needs product management, a cart, payments, shipping rules, invoices and order emails. Our e-commerce stores start at ₹29,999 for up to 100 products.
The yearly running costs (don't skip this)
Building the website is a one-time cost, but every website also has running costs:
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Domain name (.com / .in) | from ₹799 / year |
| Shared web hosting | from ₹1,499 / year |
| SSL certificate setup (the padlock) | from ₹999 / year |
| Business email (Google Workspace) | setup from ₹1,499, plus Google's monthly fee |
| Website maintenance (updates, backups, fixes) | from ₹1,999 / month |
For a small business website, budget roughly ₹3,000 – ₹6,000 a year for domain and hosting alone. Maintenance is optional, but it keeps the site secure and up to date.
How to get an accurate quote
You'll get a faster and more accurate quote if you send:
- What the website is for. For example: getting enquiries, selling products, taking bookings, or showing a portfolio.
- A rough list of pages.
- Two or three websites you like, and what you like about them.
- The features you need. Payments, login, booking and so on.
- Your deadline and budget range.
Tips to avoid overpaying (or underpaying)
- Ask what is included. Domain, hosting, SSL, content upload, revisions and support are often extras.
- Insist on owning your domain and code. The domain should be registered in your name. At Meenakshi Software, the source code and full ownership are handed over to you.
- Be careful with very cheap quotes. A ₹1,500 website often means a shared template with no support, slow hosting and no SEO basics.
- Ask about mobile speed. Most of your visitors will be on phones. A slow site loses customers and ranks lower on Google.
- Plan for SEO from day one. Clean page titles, fast pages and a sitemap cost little at build time and are expensive to fix later.
Summary
In 2026, a professional small business website in India typically costs ₹6,000 – ₹20,000, an online store ₹30,000 and up, and a custom web application ₹75,000 and up, plus yearly hosting. Choose based on what the site needs to achieve, not only the price tag.
