Ask three agencies what a website costs and you'll get three very different numbers. That's not dishonesty — it's that "website" means completely different things. Here's how to understand what drives cost and what you should actually budget.
Why Quotes Vary So Much
A ₹15,000 quote means a template with your logo swapped in. A ₹2,00,000 quote means a custom-designed, performance-optimized, fully integrated site built from scratch. Both are called "websites." Neither quote is wrong — they're just for different products.
Website Cost by Type
Landing Page (single page)
₹8,000 – ₹30,000
One focused page with a clear action — contact form, sign-up, or purchase. Perfect for campaigns, new services, or idea validation.
Timeline: 1–2 weeks
Business Website (5–12 pages)
₹25,000 – ₹1,00,000
Home, services, about, contact, and a blog. Professional design, mobile-friendly, basic SEO. The standard for most service businesses.
Timeline: 3–6 weeks
eCommerce Store
₹40,000 – ₹2,50,000
Product catalog, cart, checkout, payment gateway, and order management. Built on Shopify or WooCommerce depending on your needs.
Timeline: 4–10 weeks
Custom Web Application
₹1,50,000 – ₹10,00,000+
User accounts, dashboards, custom features, and API integrations. Built specifically for your unique requirements. Think SaaS tools, portals, or internal management systems.
Timeline: 8–20 weeks
What Adds to the Price
Custom Design
+₹15,000 – ₹60,000
Original illustrations, animations, and unique layouts increase design cost significantly.
Number of Unique Pages
+₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per page
Each unique page template requires separate design and development.
Special Features
+₹8,000 – ₹80,000 each
Booking systems, calculators, member areas, and custom forms all add to scope.
Third-party Integrations
+₹5,000 – ₹40,000 each
CRM, payment gateways, email tools, and external APIs each need dedicated work.
