How Much Does a Website Cost in India? (2026 Pricing Guide)
One of the first questions every business owner asks is: "How much will my website cost?" The honest answer is that it depends — but that does not mean you should be left guessing. In this guide, we break down realistic price ranges for different types of websites in India in 2026, and explain exactly what drives those costs so you can budget with confidence.
Website Cost by Type
Website pricing varies enormously based on what you need. Here is a realistic breakdown of what different types of websites cost in India today:
- Basic business website (5-8 pages): ₹15,000 – ₹50,000
- Custom-designed business site (10-15 pages): ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000
- E-commerce store: ₹40,000 – ₹3,00,000
- Custom web application / SaaS: ₹1,00,000 – ₹15,00,000+
What Actually Drives the Cost
Three factors have the biggest impact on price: design complexity, the number of features, and whether you need custom development or a template-based build.
A template-based WordPress site is far cheaper than a custom-coded application, but it also offers less flexibility and may not scale as well. Custom functionality — user accounts, payment processing, dashboards, integrations — adds development time and therefore cost.
Beware of Hidden Costs
The sticker price is not the whole story. Factor in domain registration, hosting, SSL certificates, maintenance, and ongoing updates. A reputable agency will be transparent about these from the start.
