One of the most common questions businesses ask before choosing a web development partner is: how much will it actually cost? The honest answer is: it depends. But that's not a useful answer. Here's a breakdown of what you should realistically expect to pay for different types of websites in India in 2026.
Basic Landing Page: ₹15,000 – ₹40,000
A single-page website designed to capture leads or communicate a simple value proposition. Suitable for freelancers, small local businesses, or product launches. Usually delivered within 1–2 weeks.
Standard Business Website (5–15 pages): ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000
The most common website type for small and mid-size businesses — includes a homepage, about page, services pages, blog, and contact page. Should be mobile-responsive, SEO-ready, and built with a CMS for easy content editing.
Ecommerce Website: ₹80,000 – ₹5,00,000+
Shopify-based stores start around ₹80,000 for a basic implementation. Custom ecommerce with complex catalogue requirements, ERP integration, or multi-vendor functionality can reach ₹5,00,000 and above.
Custom Web Application: ₹3,00,000 – ₹20,00,000+
SaaS platforms, client portals, booking systems, and other web applications with custom business logic require significantly more investment in architecture, development, and testing.
What Factors Affect Website Cost?
Number of pages and templates, custom design vs template-based, integrations required (CRM, payments, ERP), ongoing maintenance requirements, and the level of SEO and performance optimisation baked in.
Why Cheap Websites Cost More in the Long Run
A ₹10,000 website might seem like a bargain — until you consider the hidden costs: poor SEO that means you pay forever for traffic, slow load times that lose 40% of visitors, and code quality that makes future improvements expensive.
