How Much Does a Website Cost in India in 2026? (Honest Price Guide)
1 September 2026 · 6 min read · by Pooja Soft Solutions
Quick answer: In 2026, a professional business website in India costs ₹15,000–₹75,000, e-commerce stores ₹50,000–₹2 lakh, and custom web applications upwards of ₹1 lakh. The main cost drivers are the number of pages, custom design vs template, features (payments, booking, logins) and content creation.
The short answer
A standard 5–8 page business website from a professional Indian agency costs ₹15,000–₹40,000. Larger corporate sites with custom design and features run ₹40,000–₹75,000. E-commerce starts around ₹50,000 and custom web applications from ₹1 lakh upwards.
What actually changes the price
- Pages & content — every extra page means design, writing and SEO work.
- Custom design vs template — a tailored design costs more than adapting a theme, but converts better and stands out.
- Features — payments, booking calendars, user logins, multi-language: each adds development time.
- Content creation — if you need copywriting, photography or product descriptions, budget for it.
- Who builds it — freelancers are cheaper but riskier on support; agencies cost more but stay accountable.
The traps to avoid
- "₹4,999 full website" offers — usually a template with your name swapped in, no SEO, no ownership, hosting locked to the vendor.
- No written scope — if the quote isn't written down, the price will grow later.
- Vendor-owned domains — ALWAYS register the domain in your own account. If the vendor owns it, they own your business identity.
- No renewal clarity — ask what year 2 costs: hosting, domain, maintenance.
What a fair quote includes
A professional quote should list: number of pages, design revisions included, mobile responsiveness, on-page SEO (meta tags, schema, sitemap), SSL, analytics setup, training, support window after launch, and who owns what. At Pooja Soft Solutions every quote is fixed and written — the price you approve is the price you pay.
