How Much Does a Website Cost in India? Complete 2026 Pricing Guide
Transparent, honest pricing for every type of website — from simple landing pages to complex web applications.
Website pricing in India ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹50 lakhs+. That range isn't helpful. What actually determines cost, and what should you expect to pay for the kind of site your business needs? Here's the clearest breakdown we can give you.
Simple Landing Page / Business Website
A clean, professional website for a service business or startup — 5–10 pages, contact form, mobile-responsive, fast loading.
- Template-based (WordPress/Webflow): ₹15,000–₹50,000
- Custom design + development: ₹1.5–₹4 lakhs
- Timeline: 2–4 weeks
E-Commerce Store
An online store with product catalogue, cart, checkout, and payment gateway integration.
- Shopify with theme customisation: ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakhs
- Custom e-commerce with headless architecture: ₹5–₹15 lakhs
- Timeline: 4–10 weeks
SaaS Platform / Web Application
A software product with user accounts, a database, business logic, and a dashboard interface.
- MVP (core features only): ₹8–₹20 lakhs
- Full product with admin panel, billing, and integrations: ₹25–₹60 lakhs
- Timeline: 8–20 weeks
Agency / Portfolio Website (Premium)
A high-end website for an agency, consultancy, or professional brand — custom design, animations, case studies, contact system.
- Mid-range: ₹2–₹5 lakhs
- Premium (Framer Motion, custom interactions, editorial design): ₹6–₹15 lakhs
- Timeline: 3–8 weeks
What's Usually Not Included in Quotes
Watch for these costs that aren't always in the initial quote:
- Domain name (₹800–₹2,000/year)
- Hosting (₹3,000–₹50,000/year depending on type)
- SSL certificate (usually free with modern hosts)
- Copywriting — most agencies build, not write
- Photography and stock images
- Ongoing maintenance and updates
- SEO setup and content
Why Prices Vary So Much
Three factors drive most of the variance: design originality (template vs. fully custom), technical complexity (static vs. dynamic vs. real-time), and team quality (freelancer vs. junior agency vs. senior specialist team). A ₹50,000 website and a ₹5 lakh website can look similar in a screenshot. The difference shows up in performance, maintainability, and what happens when you need to change something six months later.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. The two are rarely the same number.
