How Much Does a Website Cost? Price Guide From ₹9,999 (2026)
By Javed, founder of Javedify, a web design and development company in Mumbai. Last updated November 2026.
How much does a website cost? A simple website of up to 5 pages usually costs about ₹5,000 to ₹50,000 in India, a small business website about ₹10,000 to ₹80,000, and an online store ₹40,000 to ₹4,00,000 or more, depending on size and features. Javedify's website packages start from ₹9,999. On top of the build, plan for yearly costs such as a domain, hosting, business email and maintenance.
This guide explains how much a website costs in plain words: the price by type of website, what you pay every year after launch, the hidden charges to ask about, what changes the price, and how to get a good website without overpaying. All prices are in rupees. Market prices come from several agency guides published in 2026, and they disagree with each other, so treat every range as a guide and not a fixed rate. Prices in this guide were checked in November 2026.

Website Cost by Type: Price List (2026)
This table shows typical one-time build prices. The ranges differ because agencies, freelancers and builders price differently, and because scope changes everything.

Ranges are from Hostinger India (basic, small business and ecommerce, updated February 2026) and Acemind Tech (landing page, professional business and custom application, September 2026). Another guide, Epixs, quotes higher figures, such as ₹25,000 to ₹60,000 for a 1 to 5 page template site and ₹1,50,000 to ₹4,50,000 for ecommerce. All of these companies sell website services, so use them as a rough guide and ask for a written quote.

Website Cost Breakdown: What You Pay After the Build
A website is not a one-time cost. These yearly costs continue after launch.
Yearly costTypical rangeWhat it isDomain name₹500 – ₹1,500 a yearYour website address, renewed every yearHosting₹2,000 – ₹5,000 a year for shared hostingThe server space where your website lives. Managed or cloud hosting costs more.SSL (HTTPS)Usually free with hostingThe secure connection shown as a padlockBusiness email₹1,500 – ₹6,000 a yearEmail addresses on your own domainMaintenance₹1,000 – ₹5,000 a month for retainers, or about 10% to 15% of the build cost a yearUpdates, backups, security and fixesPremium plugins₹1,000 – ₹8,000 a year eachPaid add-ons for WordPress sites
Figures from Hostinger India and Epixs. Many guides also list prices without GST, and Acemind says services attract 18% GST, so a ₹50,000 quote becomes ₹59,000 when invoiced. For website care, see our guide on website maintenance services, with plans from ₹499 a month.

What Affects the Cost of a Website?
- Design. Acemind calls design the biggest price lever. A template with your logo costs much less than a design built around your customers.
- Number of pages. More pages mean more design, content and testing.
- Features. Payment gateways, logins, booking forms, CRM links and admin panels add work.
- Who builds it. A freelancer, an agency and a website builder price differently.
- Content. Writing, photos and videos are often quoted separately. Giving your own content lowers the cost.
- SEO and speed. A site built to rank and load fast costs more than one built only to exist.
- Timeline. A rushed project usually costs more.
- Support after launch. Maintenance and training can be extra.

Figures from Hostinger India and Acemind. Javedify packages start from ₹9,999, below the typical agency range, and are built for small businesses that are starting online.
Hidden Costs of a Website: Ask Before You Sign
Low headline quotes often leave things out. Acemind advises comparing the total cost, not the headline price. Ask these questions before you pay:
- Is GST included in the quote?
- Do the domain and hosting stay in my name, and who owns the accounts?
- What is the renewal price after the first year?
- Are content writing, photos, SSL, speed work and SEO basics included?
- How many design changes are included, and what do extra changes cost?
- Are premium plugins or licences included, and what do they cost each year?
- What support do I get after launch, and what does it cost?
- Are payment gateway charges extra? Gateways such as Razorpay, PayU and Stripe charge about 2% to 3% per transaction, according to Hostinger.
Where Does the Money Go? Cost Split of a Professional Website
WorkShare of the budget (typical)Discovery and strategy10% – 15%Design and user experience20% – 30%Development30% – 40%Content0% – 15%SEO foundation5% – 15%Testing, training and launch5% – 10%
Split from Acemind Tech, for a professional build. Small sites spend less on strategy and more on design and development.
How to Get a Good Website for Less
- Start with the pages you really need, such as Home, About, Services and Contact, and add more later.
- Give your own logo, photos and text, so the agency does not charge for them.
- Choose a package with a clear list of what is included.
- Pay for design and speed first. Fancy extras can wait.
- Plan for maintenance from day one, so a small problem does not become an expensive repair.
- Get two or three written quotes and compare the total, not the headline number.
Is a Cheap Website Worth It?
A low price is not a problem on its own. For a new business, a clean 5-page website from ₹9,999 can be a sensible start. The risk is a very cheap offer with no written list of work, no support and hidden yearly charges. Ask what you get, check live websites the company has built, and make sure the domain and hosting are in your name.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?
Wix says a simple five-page site can take a few days to a couple of weeks, and large custom builds can take several months. The time depends on the number of pages and features, and on how fast you send your content and approve the design.

It can be, if you need a clean 5-page website to show your services and get enquiries. If you need an online store, logins or special features, you will need a bigger plan. We tell you honestly in a free consultation.
What is the cost of a website per year?
After the build, plan for a domain (₹500 to ₹1,500), hosting (₹2,000 to ₹5,000 for shared hosting), business email and maintenance. A small site often costs a few thousand rupees a year, plus maintenance.
Do I have to pay every month for a website?
Not for the build. Domain and hosting are paid yearly. Maintenance and SEO are optional monthly or yearly services. Some agencies offer subscription plans of ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 a month, according to Acemind.
Is GST charged on website development?
Acemind says 18% GST applies to services, so confirm whether your quote includes GST.
Why do website prices vary so much?
Because the design, number of pages, features, content, SEO work and support differ from one quote to another. A low quote may leave out things that a higher quote includes.
How much does a website cost to maintain?
Retainers cost about ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 a month, or about 10% to 15% of the build cost a year. Javedify's website maintenance plans start from ₹499 a month.
Can I build a website for free?
You can build a free website with some builders, but you still need a domain, usually hosting and your own time. Free sites often show the builder's name and have limits. A professional website is better for a business that wants to be trusted.
Who owns the website after it is built?
It should be you. Ask in writing that the domain, hosting and website files are in your name.
