How Much Does a Website Cost in India? (2026)

Where your website sits in the range
The range is wide because “a website” covers very different jobs.
Rebuilds and migrations depend on the size of the old site. Hosting and maintenance are extra.
What kind of website are you pricing?
Campaign landing page
One page, one offer, one measurable outcome, built for paid traffic. Usually the lower end.
Marketing website
Services, about and contact pages built around the journey to an enquiry. Lower to middle, rising with pages and custom design.
Ecommerce store
WooCommerce or Shopify with payments, logistics and a catalogue for Indian buyers. Middle to upper end.
Rebuild or migration
A new site underneath that keeps the rankings you already have. Depends on the old site’s size.
What changes the price
Number of pages
Each page needs its own job, copy and testing. Forty near-identical pages rarely earn their keep.
Ecommerce
Catalogue, payment gateways, shipping rules, GST invoices and order emails add real work.
Custom design
A tuned template is quicker and cheaper; custom design pays off when the brand or conversion path needs it.
Who writes the content
Placeholder text looks finished and reads badly. Budget for copy, or the time to write it.
Integrations
CRM, WhatsApp, booking tools, payment links and lead routing each add setup and testing.
Migration
Moving a site safely means mapping every old URL to a new one.
What every quote should include
Price is only comparable when the scope is. Check every quote covers these six things.
- A sitemap and the purpose of each page, agreed before design
- Analytics and conversion tracking, set up and tested
- A page-speed target: a slow site raises the cost of every click you buy. Google sets “good” thresholds in its Core Web Vitals guide
- Basic SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, XML sitemap and Google Search Console
- Redirects from old URLs if you are replacing a site, as Google recommends for site moves
- Ownership: domain, hosting and files in your name, not the agency’s
What is usually not in the price
Ask for these as separate line items, so the build quote and the running cost are both clear.
Domain
Registration and yearly renewal.
Hosting
Billed monthly or yearly.
Maintenance
Updates, backups and security.
Paid add-ons
Plugins, themes or a Shopify subscription.
Photography
Professional photos or video.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in India in 2026?
A marketing website typically costs ₹35,000 to ₹3,00,000, depending on page count, whether it includes ecommerce, and how much of the design is custom. Hosting and maintenance are separate.
Why do website quotes vary so much?
Quotes cover different scopes. One may include copywriting, tracking and redirects; another may be a template with your logo added. Compare the scope line by line before comparing the price.
Is a WordPress or Shopify website cheaper?
For a marketing site, WordPress is usually the lower-cost option. For selling online, Shopify adds a monthly subscription but less setup; WooCommerce on WordPress costs more to set up but has no platform fee. The right choice depends on your catalogue and who will run the store.
Do I need to pay for hosting and maintenance separately?
Usually, yes. Hosting is a recurring cost, and maintenance — updates, backups and security — is either a monthly plan or done in-house. Ask for both as separate line items.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on page count and how quickly content and approvals arrive. Content is most often the slowest part, so agree who writes it before the project starts.
