“How much for a website?” is like asking “how much for a car?” — it depends entirely on what you need. Here are realistic 2026 ranges for India, and what moves the number.
Cost by website type
| Type | Typical cost (India) |
|---|---|
| Basic business website (WordPress) | ₹25,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Professional / custom design | ₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| E-commerce store | ₹80,000 – ₹3,00,000+ |
| Web application / portal | ₹2,00,000+ |
What drives the price
- Design: a template costs far less than a custom design
- Pages and features: more pages, forms, integrations and languages add cost
- Content: who writes the copy and sources the images
- SEO-readiness: a fast, SEO-built site costs a little more up front and saves you far more later
The cheapest site is rarely the best value
A ₹8,000 website that loads slowly, breaks on mobile, and cannot rank costs you customers every day. Build for performance from the start — it is the foundation everything else sits on.
Ongoing costs to plan for
Domain (₹800–₹1,500/yr), hosting (₹3,000–₹10,000/yr), and maintenance. Budget for upkeep, not just the build.
