How much will my website cost?” is usually the first question a business owner asks and one of the hardest to answer with a single number. The honest answer is: it depends on the platform, the number of pages, the features you need, and how much custom design work goes into it. Here’s a realistic breakdown for 2026, so you can budget with confidence before you start asking agencies for quotes.
1. Landing pages and one-pagers: ₹15,000 – ₹40,000
A single-page website for a product launch, an event, or a simple service business is the fastest and most affordable option. It typically includes one design concept, a contact form, and basic on-page SEO. Turnaround is usually 7–10 days.
2. Business websites (WordPress, Webflow or Wix): ₹40,000 – ₹1,50,000
Most small and mid-sized businesses fall into this bracket a 5–10 page website with a homepage, service/product pages, an about page, a blog, and a contact page. The price depends heavily on the platform:
- WordPress: flexible and content-friendly, best for businesses that plan to publish blog content regularly.
- Webflow: stronger design control and animations, popular for marketing-led brands.
- Wix: fastest to launch, a good fit for small businesses that want to be live quickly on a modest budget.
3. E-commerce stores (Shopify or WooCommerce): ₹80,000 – ₹3,00,000+
Online stores cost more because of the extra work involved product catalog setup, payment gateway integration, shipping rules, and often custom features like bundle builders or subscription options. A store with under 50 products and a template-based theme sits at the lower end; a fully custom Shopify build with bespoke UX (like a product configurator) sits at the higher end.
4. Custom web applications and advanced builds: ₹3,00,000+
If your project needs a customer login area, a booking system, CRM integration, or custom backend logic, you’re moving into custom development territory. These projects are quoted individually based on a detailed scope document, not a flat package price.
What actually moves the price up or down
- Number of unique page designs (a 5-page site with 5 different layouts costs more than 10 pages using 2 templates).
- Custom illustration, animation, or video vs. stock assets.
- Content readiness writing your copy for you adds to the timeline and cost.
- Integrations: CRM, email marketing, payment gateways, booking calendars.
- Ongoing maintenance some agencies bundle the first year, others quote it separately (see our guide on WordPress maintenance).
A quick way to sanity-check any quote
Ask exactly what’s included: number of pages, number of design revisions, whether copywriting is included, whether the price covers mobile responsiveness and basic SEO setup, and what happens after launch. A low quote that excludes half of these is often not actually cheaper it just moves the cost to a change request later.
Bottom line: most Indian small businesses should budget ₹40,000–₹1,50,000 for a professional website, and more if e-commerce or custom functionality is involved. Get a clear, itemized quote before you commit that’s the real way to compare agencies.
