The honest answer is "it depends on who builds it and what it does", which is why this page is a calculator and not a single number. The table below gives our estimated ranges for one-time build costs.
| Type of website | Freelancer | Agency |
|---|---|---|
| One-page / landing page | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹40,000 |
| Business website (5–10 pages) | ₹10,000 – ₹30,000 | ₹30,000 – ₹1,00,000 |
| Online store (up to ~100 products) | ₹25,000 – ₹60,000 | ₹60,000 – ₹2,00,000 |

What changes the price most
- Custom design vs template. A template-based site usually costs much less than a custom design.
- Number of pages and languages. Each extra page or language is extra writing, design and testing.
- Integrations. Payments, bookings, CRM, WhatsApp and inventory each add days of work.
- Who writes the content. Many quotes assume you will supply text and photos. If you cannot, add copywriting.
- Support after launch. A cheap build with no support often costs more within a year.
Yearly costs you cannot avoid
- Domain: .in about ₹500–₹1,000 a year; .com about ₹1,000–₹1,500.
- Hosting: shared hosting ₹2,000–₹8,000 a year is enough for most business sites; SSL is free with most hosts.
- Website builders (Wix, Hostinger, Shopify): ₹3,000–₹10,000 a year for basic plans, more for e-commerce.
Questions to ask before you pay
- Will I own the domain, hosting account and the code or WordPress login?
- Is the site mobile-first and does it load in under 3 seconds on a 4G connection?
- What exactly is included: pages, revisions, content, SEO basics, training?
- What does a change cost after launch, and how fast will it be done?

Is a DIY website builder (Wix, Hostinger, Shopify) cheaper?
Upfront, yes: you pay only the subscription, about ₹3,000–₹10,000 a year for a basic plan and more for e-commerce. The trade-off is your own time, limited customisation and weaker SEO control. For a one-page site or a test of an idea it is a sensible choice.
