“How much will my website cost?” is the first question almost every business asks us. The honest answer is: it depends on what you need. This guide breaks down typical website development costs in India in 2026 so you can plan your budget with confidence.
Typical website costs in India (2026)
- Starter / brochure website (up to 5 pages): ₹25,000 – ₹50,000
- Business website (10–15 pages, custom design): ₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000
- E-commerce store (WooCommerce or Shopify): ₹1,20,000 – ₹4,00,000+
- Custom web application / SaaS: ₹2,50,000 – ₹15,00,000+
These are indicative ranges for professional agency work. Freelancers may charge less; large enterprise projects can cost much more.
What affects the cost of a website?
1. Number of pages and features
More pages, forms, filters, booking systems or member areas mean more design and development time.
2. Custom design vs templates
A template-based site is faster and cheaper. A custom UI/UX design tailored to your brand costs more but converts better and stands out.
3. Platform and technology
WordPress with Elementor is cost-effective and easy to manage. Shopify suits fast-moving stores. React, Next.js or Laravel are ideal for complex, high-performance applications.
4. Content and SEO
Professional copywriting, photography and an SEO-ready structure add to the budget — but they are what turn visitors into customers.
5. Integrations
Payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), CRMs, WhatsApp, shipping and ERP integrations all add development effort.
Ongoing costs to budget for
- Domain: ₹800 – ₹1,500 per year
- Hosting: ₹3,000 – ₹30,000+ per year depending on traffic
- Maintenance & security: from ₹5,000 per month
- Premium plugins or apps, if required
