Website cost depends less on the number of screens and more on the business work the site must perform. A clear brochure site, a catalogue and a transaction-heavy store have different design, content, integration and support needs.
Indicative starting ranges
For planning purposes, a focused starter presence may begin around ₹15,000, a multi-page growth website around ₹30,000, while commerce and custom workflows require a tailored quote. These are indicative figures, not universal market prices.
What changes the cost?
- Number and complexity of pages
- Original copywriting, photography or illustration
- Product catalogues, payments and external integrations
- Multiple languages and accessibility requirements
- SEO research, analytics and automation
- Ongoing maintenance and content updates
Costs beyond development
Plan separately for a domain, hosting, business email, premium software, payment-gateway charges and advertising. Confirm ownership and renewal responsibility before approving a proposal.
Good comparison rule: compare written scope, ownership, support, timeline and exclusions—not only the final price.
Questions to ask before accepting a quote
- What exact pages and features are included?
- Who supplies and approves the content?
- Are domain and hosting registered in the client’s name?
- What revisions and post-launch support are included?
- What third-party charges will recur?
