Quick answer: A small business website in India typically costs ₹20,000–₹75,000 in 2026. A revamp starts around ₹20,000, and a new 8-page business website around ₹35,000. Each extra feature — a blog, CRM, booking system or online payments — adds roughly ₹7,500–₹12,000. Want your exact number? Use our website cost calculator and tick only the features you need.
If you have asked three developers for a quote, you have probably received three very different numbers — ₹8,000, ₹45,000 and ₹2 lakh for what sounds like the same website. This guide explains why, and breaks website cost in India down feature by feature so you can compare quotes properly and pay only for what your business needs.
How much does a website cost in India in 2026?
Here are typical price ranges for professionally built websites in India. Freelancers and template builders can be cheaper; large brands with custom design systems pay more.
| Website type | Typical cost (one-time) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Website revamp (existing site) | ₹20,000 – ₹40,000 | Faster, better-looking site without starting over |
| Business website (up to 8 pages) | ₹35,000 – ₹75,000 | Clinics, consultants, institutes, local services |
| Landing page for ads | ₹8,000 – ₹20,000 | Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns |
| E-commerce store | ₹65,000 – ₹2,00,000+ | Selling products online with payments and shipping |
| Custom web app / SaaS | ₹1,10,000 – ₹10,00,000+ | Portals, dashboards, booking platforms, subscriptions |
The wide ranges are not random. They come from a small number of cost drivers — and once you understand them, any quote becomes easy to read.
What decides the cost of a website?
1. Number of pages
Every page needs design, content and SEO setup. Most small businesses need 5–8 pages: home, about, services, a page per main service, contact and a blog. Adding service or location pages later typically costs around ₹2,500 each.
2. Template or custom design
A ready-made theme is quick and cheap but looks like thousands of other sites and often loads slowly. A custom design matches your brand, guides visitors towards enquiries and is built to load fast. Most of the price gap between a ₹10,000 and a ₹50,000 website is here.
3. Features and functionality
Features are where quotes differ most — and where you can save the most by choosing carefully. They are covered in detail in the next section.
4. Content and SEO
Some quotes include professionally written pages, a keyword plan, schema markup and Google Search Console setup. Others hand you an empty design. A website without content and SEO usually needs paid ads to get any traffic, so check this line carefully. Read why SEO should be planned before you design a website.
5. Speed, security and tracking
Fast loading, HTTPS, backups, and tracking (GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and call/WhatsApp tracking) separate a professional build from a cheap one. You can test any existing site with our free website speed test.
Website cost by feature: what each add-on costs
The fairest way to price a website is a base package plus only the features you need. Here is what common features typically cost when added to a business website:
| Feature | Typical cost | Who needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Extra page | ₹2,500 per page | Businesses with many services or locations |
| Blog / CMS with editor | ₹8,000 | Anyone who wants SEO traffic from articles |
| Lead CRM + WhatsApp alerts | ₹7,500 | Businesses that lose enquiries in email inboxes |
| Appointment / booking system | ₹12,000 | Clinics, salons, consultants, coaching |
| Razorpay online payments | ₹10,000 | Fees, deposits, course or product sales |
| Instant PDF quote / proposal tool | ₹12,000 | Agencies, contractors, service businesses |
| Multilingual (Hindi, Marathi, etc.) | ₹10,000 | Businesses serving regional audiences |
| Custom admin panel | from ₹25,000 | Teams that manage data, users or listings |
| E-commerce store | from ₹30,000 | Selling products online |
| Maintenance & updates | ₹1,500 per month | Anyone without an in-house developer |
These are the prices we use at Spidery Web. You can tick features on and off in our website cost calculator to see a live total and send it to us on WhatsApp for an exact quote.
Example: what a typical clinic website costs
A physiotherapy clinic needs a new 8-page website (₹35,000), an appointment booking system (₹12,000) and a lead CRM with WhatsApp alerts (₹7,500). Total: ₹54,500 one-time, plus hosting. It does not need e-commerce or multilingual pages — so it does not pay for them.
What are the yearly running costs of a website?
The build is a one-time cost, but every website has small yearly costs. Budget for these from day one:
- Domain name: roughly ₹500–₹1,200 a year for a .in or .com domain.
- Hosting: roughly ₹2,500–₹10,000 a year for a small business site on good shared or cloud hosting. See our Hostinger discount for the plan we recommend.
- SSL certificate: usually free with good hosting.
- Maintenance: updates, backups, security checks and small edits — from ₹1,500 a month.
- Paid plugins or apps: only if your site depends on them; ask before you build.
Cheap vs professional website: what is the real difference?
| Cheap website (₹5,000–₹15,000) | Professional website (₹35,000+) | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Generic template | Built around your brand and customers |
| Content | You write it, or copied text | Written for your services and keywords |
| SEO | Usually none | Keyword plan, schema, Search Console |
| Speed | Often slow on mobile | 90+ PageSpeed target |
| Lead tracking | Contact form only | Forms, calls and WhatsApp tracked |
| Ownership | Sometimes held by the developer | Domain, hosting and logins in your name |
A cheap website is not always a bad choice — for a one-month event or a test, it can be enough. But if the website is meant to bring enquiries for years, the cheapest quote usually costs more in lost leads.
How to compare website quotes (7-point checklist)
- Is the number of pages written down?
- Is the design custom or a template?
- Who writes the content, and is SEO included?
- Which features are included — and which cost extra?
- Will the domain, hosting and admin logins be in your name?
- Is tracking (GA4, Meta Pixel, call and WhatsApp clicks) set up?
- What does support cost after launch?

How to reduce your website cost without cutting quality
- Start with the essentials. Launch with the pages and features that bring enquiries; add the rest later.
- Prepare your content. Clear service details, photos and FAQs shorten the project.
- Choose features by business need. A WhatsApp lead system often brings more value than a fancy animation.
- Revamp instead of rebuilding when the structure is sound and only design and speed need work.
- Connect your lead flow. Pair the site with WhatsApp lead management so no enquiry is missed.
