What does a website cost in India?
Six questions, an honest range, and the arithmetic shown so you can argue with it. No email, no form, no waiting for somebody to call you back. The numbers are the same ones on our services page.
Typical website cost in India, before you answer anything
These are our actual starting ranges, written out so you can read them without touching the calculator below. Every figure is in Indian rupees and covers design, build and handover.
- Single-page website: ₹9,000 – ₹15,000 hand-built in HTML with a PHP contact form, or ₹14,000 – ₹22,000 on WordPress so you can edit it yourself.
- Business or corporate website: ₹18,000 – ₹32,000 in HTML with PHP forms, or ₹22,000 – ₹45,000 on WordPress. Typically five to ten pages.
- E-commerce website: ₹35,000 – ₹80,000 on Shopify, or ₹40,000 – ₹95,000 on WooCommerce. Products, payments, delivery and tax rules.
- Web application or login-based product: from ₹1,20,000 in React on the web, or from ₹1,50,000 in React Native or Flutter for phones.
What moves the number after that: extra pages add ₹6,000 – ₹60,000 depending on how many; fully custom design rather than adapted layouts adds ₹20,000 – ₹55,000; having us write the content adds ₹15,000 – ₹40,000; and a logo or full brand identity adds ₹6,000 – ₹35,000. A CMS adds ₹8,000 – ₹18,000 to a hand-built site, and nothing at all on WordPress, Shopify or WooCommerce, because you are already buying one.
Prices are the same whether you are in Kolkata, elsewhere in India, or overseas. We do not quote a different number because of where you are sitting.
Before you compare quotes
Collecting three quotes only helps if they describe the same work, and usually they do not. These two are the ones worth reading first:
- What a website actually costs in Kolkata, which explains what moves a project above its floor.
- How long a website takes to build, because the same things that move the price move the deadline.
Our published floors are on the services page.
Questions people also ask
It depends as much on what it is built with as on how big it is. A single page is ₹9,000 to ₹15,000 hand-built in HTML, or ₹14,000 to ₹22,000 on WordPress. A five to ten page business site is ₹18,000 to ₹32,000 in HTML, or ₹22,000 to ₹45,000 on WordPress. An online shop is ₹35,000 to ₹80,000 on Shopify or ₹40,000 to ₹95,000 on WooCommerce, and a product people log into starts at ₹1,20,000. The estimator above works out a range for your own project and shows the arithmetic rather than a single number.
The floor of ₹9,000 buys design, build, mobile layouts and going live for a single hand-built page. What moves it is rarely the page count — it is the platform and who supplies the material. WordPress costs more to build than plain HTML and pays that back the first time you edit a page without calling anyone. If you write the text and provide photographs you stay near the floor; if we write the content, add ₹15,000 to ₹40,000. A design drawn for you rather than adapted from a theme adds ₹20,000 to ₹55,000.
Not by us. We quote one number for design and development together, because splitting them is how a project ends up with a design nobody can build to budget. Where you will see them priced apart is when a studio hands a design file to a separate developer — fine, but then ask which of the two owns the result when the built page does not match the file.
No, and be wary of anyone who folds them in silently. Budget roughly ₹900 a year for a .in domain and ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 a year for hosting a normal business site. Shopify is different: from about ₹1,500 a month, which absorbs hosting, security and updates. Add someone to maintain the site — a website is not a project that finishes.
Because most of the cost is not the build. Two quotes for one site can differ threefold depending on who writes the text, who takes the photographs, who loads the products, and whether a custom design is being drawn or a theme adapted. A quote that does not say who does those things is not cheaper than one that does — it is less specific, and the difference reappears later as your own weekends.
