How much does a website cost in India in 2026?

Quick answer: typical website prices

These are typical ranges for a professionally designed, custom-built site from an independent studio:

• Portfolio or personal website: ₹6,000 – ₹14,000
• Landing page (one page for an offer or campaign): ₹7,000 – ₹15,000
• Business website (5–8 pages): ₹18,000 – ₹35,000
• Website redesign: ₹15,000 – ₹40,000
• E-commerce store: ₹40,000 – ₹85,000
• Custom web app or dashboard: ₹65,000 – ₹1,50,000+

What makes a website cost more?

Price follows the amount of work. The biggest factors are the number of unique page designs, features that need logic behind them (payments, bookings, logins, dashboards), whether you need to edit the content yourself (a CMS), and whether copywriting, photography or a logo are part of the job.

Speed and SEO quality also matter. A cheap template can look fine on a desktop but load slowly on phones and be hard for Google to read, which costs you customers later.

Yearly costs to budget for

Besides the one-time build, plan for these running costs:

• Domain name (.com or .in): about ₹800 – ₹1,500 per year
• Hosting: free to ₹6,000 per year for most small business sites
• Business email: optional, from about ₹1,500 per user per year
• Care plan for updates and backups: optional, from ₹10,000 per year

How to avoid hidden charges

Ask for a fixed, itemised quote that lists pages, features, revision rounds and what happens after launch. Confirm that you will own the domain, the code and the content. And check whether the price includes basic SEO, mobile optimisation and a contact or WhatsApp button, because some quotes leave those out.
