There is no single price for a website. Two sites that look similar can cost very different amounts because of what happens behind the screen. This guide explains what drives the price so you can budget before asking for quotes. The ranges below are typical for India in 2026 and will vary by agency and scope.
What drives the price
- Number of pages and how much content needs to be written or edited
- Custom design versus a ready-made template
- Features such as online payments, user login, booking or dashboards
- Integrations with WhatsApp, payment gateways, CRMs or accounting tools
- Timeline, because urgent work costs more
- Ongoing support and maintenance
Typical ranges
- Simple business website (5 to 8 pages): about ₹25,000 to ₹50,000
- Larger website with CMS or blog and custom design: about ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000
- E-commerce store with payments and orders: about ₹1,00,000 to ₹3,00,000
- Custom web app such as a CRM or ERP: from about ₹1,50,000, depending on modules
- Mobile app (Android and iOS): from about ₹2,00,000
Costs people forget
- Domain name, renewed every year
- Hosting or cloud server, monthly or yearly
- Premium plugins, email service and SMS or WhatsApp charges
- Content such as photos, copy and videos
- Maintenance, backups and security updates after launch
How to get comparable quotes
Write a short brief before you contact anyone: your goal, the pages or features you need, examples of sites you like and your deadline. Send the same brief to each agency so the quotes are easy to compare.
Be careful with very cheap quotes
A very low price often means a reused template, no testing, no support or hidden extras later. Ask what is included, what is not, and what changes will cost.
The best way to control cost
Start with the features that bring revenue, launch, then grow. A focused first version is cheaper, faster and teaches you what your customers actually use.
