How Much Does a Website Cost in India?
0:00 / 1:54
A basic small-business website in India typically costs between ₹12,000 and ₹35,000. A comprehensive site with advanced features, branding and SEO can run ₹1,50,000 or more.
The right number depends on how many pages you need, which features matter, and whether you want ongoing support.
What are the typical price ranges?
| Website type | Typical price range | What's usually included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic starter site | ₹12,000 – ₹20,000 | 3–4 pages, contact, social links, services |
| Mid-tier business site | ₹25,000 – ₹40,000 | Custom animations, WhatsApp, testimonials, CTAs |
| Full-featured site | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000+ | Advanced design, SEO and LLM SEO, blog, AI chatbot, branding |
| DIY builder | ₹500 – ₹2,000 a month | Template-based, self-managed, limited customisation |
Why is the range so wide?
The gap between a ₹12,000 site and a ₹1,50,000 one is not simply more pages. It is the difference between a digital business card and a system that works for you: ranking on Google, turning visitors into leads, and answering questions while you sleep.
Businesses that need to exist online pay less. Businesses that need the website to bring in customers pay for that extra engineering.
What gets left out of quotes?
A lower quote sometimes hides costs that arrive later: domain renewal, hosting, SSL and ongoing maintenance are frequently separate from the build price. Domain and basic hosting typically run ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 a quarter depending on whether monitoring and support are included. Ask before you sign, not after launch.
How do agencies structure pricing?
Most price either as fixed packages — a Starter, Go, Executive style ladder — or à la carte, where each feature is priced on its own. Packages are easier to compare. À la carte is better if you only need one or two things added to an otherwise simple site.
Is a freelancer cheaper?
Usually, for the same feature set, because you are not paying for a team's overhead. The trade-off is availability and consistency: one person juggling several clients may take longer to respond or fix something than a team with dedicated support.
Questions, answered.
What's the cheapest way to get a real website?
A basic starter package, ₹12,000 to ₹20,000, covering essential pages, contact details and services. That is usually enough for a new business to look credible.
Does the price include hosting and domain?
Not always. Check specifically — these are often billed separately, quarterly or annually.
Is a more expensive website always better?
Only if the extra cost buys features you will use, such as SEO, a chatbot or animations that suit your brand.
Why do quotes vary so much for the same website?
Agencies bundle different things into the base price. Ask exactly what is included before comparing numbers.
