How Much Does a Website Cost in India? (2026 Complete Guide)
Thinking about getting a website built in India? This guide covers real pricing for every type — from a ₹15,000 business site to a ₹5L+ web app — so you never get overcharged.
If you've asked a web agency for a quote recently, you already know how confusing the answers can be. One agency quotes ₹8,000. Another quotes ₹1,50,000. For what feels like the same website.
This guide cuts through the confusion. Here's exactly what a website costs in India in 2026 — by type, by feature, and by quality level.
Why Website Prices Vary So Much in India
The short answer: not all websites are the same.
A ₹6,000 website built on a shared WordPress template is nothing like a ₹60,000 custom-designed, SEO-optimised website built in React. One is a digital brochure. The other is a lead-generation machine.
Price depends on: - Complexity (number of pages, features, custom design) - Technology (WordPress vs React vs Next.js vs custom) - Agency quality (freelancer vs boutique agency vs enterprise firm) - SEO & performance (most cheap sites fail here completely) - Ongoing support (maintenance, updates, hosting)
Website Cost in India — By Type (2026)
1. Basic Business Website (5–10 Pages) Price range: ₹10,000 – ₹30,000
What's included at this level: - Home, About, Services, Contact pages - Mobile-responsive design - Basic contact form - WhatsApp button integration - Hosted on shared server
What's usually missing: - Custom design (templates only) - Proper SEO - Fast loading speed - Lead generation features
Best for: Very small businesses testing their online presence for the first time.
2. Professional Business Website Price range: ₹30,000 – ₹80,000
This is the sweet spot for most Indian SMEs. At this level you get: - Custom design aligned to your brand - 10–20 pages with content strategy - SEO-optimized structure (meta tags, schema, sitemap) - Lead capture forms + WhatsApp CTA - Google Analytics + Search Console setup - Page speed below 3 seconds - 3–6 months of support
At CircuitWave, our professional website packages start at ₹45,000 and include everything above.
3. eCommerce Website Price range: ₹40,000 – ₹2,00,000
Online store cost depends heavily on: - Number of products (50 vs 5000) - Platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, custom) - Payment gateway (Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU) - Inventory management integration
A simple Shopify store with 50 products: ₹40,000–₹60,000. A custom eCommerce platform with ERP integration: ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000+.
4. Web Application / SaaS Platform Price range: ₹1,50,000 – ₹10,00,000+
This is for software products — booking platforms, dashboards, CRMs, SaaS tools. Pricing depends on: - Number of user roles and features - Backend complexity (APIs, databases, auth) - Mobile app requirement (React Native) - Integrations (payment, SMS, WhatsApp API)
5. Landing Page (Single Page) Price range: ₹8,000 – ₹25,000
A single-purpose lead capture page built for ads. Should include: - Compelling headline and offer - Lead form with WhatsApp integration - Social proof (testimonials, results) - Fast loading (below 2 seconds) - Conversion tracking
We build landing pages at CircuitWave in 48–72 hours.
What to Watch Out For (Cheap Website Red Flags)
❌ Agencies that quote under ₹5,000 Templates with zero customisation. No SEO. No performance. You'll be rebuilding it in 12 months.
❌ No mention of SEO or page speed A beautiful website that nobody can find is useless. Always ask: "What Lighthouse score will this site get?"
❌ No lead generation features Your website should have a clear CTA, WhatsApp button, and lead form on every page. If the agency doesn't bring this up, they're building brochures, not businesses.
❌ No support after launch Ask explicitly: what happens if something breaks? What's included in maintenance?
Hidden Costs to Budget For
Beyond the initial build, factor in:
| Item | Estimated Annual Cost |
|---|---|
| Domain name | ₹1,000 – ₹2,000/year |
| Hosting (good quality) | ₹3,000 – ₹15,000/year |
| SSL certificate | Free (Let's Encrypt) to ₹5,000/year |
| Maintenance contract | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000/month |
| SEO (ongoing) | ₹12,000 – ₹40,000/month |
Is It Worth Investing in a Good Website?
A ₹45,000 professional website that generates 10 qualified leads/month is far more valuable than a ₹8,000 template that generates zero.
Think of it this way: if your average client value is ₹50,000, you only need ONE extra lead per year to pay for a professional website. Every lead after that is pure ROI.
How to Choose the Right Web Agency in India
- Check their portfolio — do the sites actually look good and load fast?
- Ask for their process — discovery → design → development → launch
- Confirm what's included — SEO, WhatsApp CTAs, analytics setup
- Ask about post-launch support — what's the monthly maintenance cost?
- Check client reviews — Google, Clutch, or direct references
