WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COST IN INDIA
How much does it actually cost to build a website in India? This guide gives you straight answers with real pricing for every type of project, from basic business sites to complex web applications.
The Short Answer
A basic business website in India costs between ₹10,000 and ₹30,000. An e-commerce store ranges from ₹25,000 to ₹1,50,000. Custom web applications start at ₹1,00,000 and can go well beyond ₹5,00,000 for complex platforms. The price depends on page count, custom features, design complexity, and who you hire.
These numbers reflect 2026 market rates from professional agencies and experienced freelancers. You can find cheaper options on freelancing platforms, but the reliability and quality trade-offs are real. On the other end, premium agencies in Mumbai and Bangalore charge significantly more for the same deliverables.

6 FACTORS THAT DRIVE THE PRICE
Number of pages
A 5-page site costs less than a 50-page site. More pages mean more design, content, and development work.
Custom design vs. template
A custom design from scratch costs 2-3x more than modifying an existing template, but it gives you a unique look that stands out.
Functionality and features
Simple contact forms are cheap. Payment gateways, booking systems, user accounts, and API integrations add to the cost.
Content creation
If you provide all text and images, costs are lower. If you need copywriting and professional photography, factor that into the budget.
Technology choice
WordPress sites are generally cheaper than React or Next.js builds. The right choice depends on your performance needs and growth plans.
Ongoing maintenance
Monthly maintenance (updates, security, backups) typically runs ₹2,000-₹10,000/month depending on complexity.
