Most website quotes in India are either a single mysterious number or a menu of packages that never quite match what you need. Neither helps you budget. This post lays out what a professionally built website actually costs in 2026, using the starting prices we publish, and explains what pushes a project up a tier.
One caveat before the numbers: these are starting points for planning. A formal quotation follows a requirements review, because two sites with the same page count can need very different amounts of work.
Business website: from ₹22,000
A professionally designed and developed business website, responsive on every device, with forms, basic SEO setup, testing and deployment, starts at ₹22,000 for one to three pages. Each step up the ladder adds pages and the design work that comes with them:
- 011 to 3 pages: from ₹22,000
- 024 to 5 pages: from ₹30,000
- 036 to 8 pages: from ₹38,000
- 049 to 12 pages: from ₹52,000
- 0513 to 20 pages: from ₹70,000
- 0620 or more pages: quoted individually
WordPress website: from ₹18,000
WordPress with Elementor is the lower-cost route for a content-led site that your own team will update. The ladder runs from ₹18,000 for one to three pages to ₹58,000 for thirteen to twenty. The saving comes from the platform doing part of the work; the trade-off is that premium themes, plugins and hosting are recurring costs on your side.
Shopify store: from ₹26,000
A Shopify store with products, cart, checkout, payments and shipping set up properly starts at ₹26,000 for one to three key pages, rising to ₹68,000 for nine to twelve. Shopify's own subscription, paid apps and payment gateway fees are separate and billed to you by those providers.
Web applications and mobile apps
Applications are scoped by screens, not pages, because a screen with a login behind it is a different object from a marketing page. A web application starts at ₹55,000 for one to five screens. Mobile apps for iOS and Android start at ₹75,000. Anything with payments, third-party integrations or a back office is quoted after a written scope.
What moves the number
Page count sets the baseline. Four things decide the final figure, roughly in order of impact:
- 01Functionality. A booking flow, a calculator or a members area is a feature with its own edge cases, not a page.
- 02Design complexity. A bespoke layout for every page costs more than one template used six times.
- 03Integrations. Every third-party service, from a CRM to a payment gateway, adds behaviour nobody fully controls.
- 04Timeline. Compressed schedules cost more because they change how the work is sequenced.
What is never included in the price
These stay in your name, which is where they belong. Ask any agency to confirm the same list before you sign:
- 01Domain and hosting
- 02Premium themes, plugins and paid apps
- 03Shopify or other platform subscriptions
- 04Stock imagery and paid fonts
- 05Advertising spend and ongoing SEO
- 06Major scope changes after the written scope is approved
How payment works
Small projects are split 50% in advance and 50% before launch. Medium projects add a development milestone, 40 / 30 / 30. Large projects run across four payments tied to milestones. Nothing goes live before the final payment, and nothing is built before the scope is agreed in writing.
Why published prices matter
A price you can see before the first call is a filter that works both ways. You can tell within a minute whether a project is in budget, and we spend our time on projects that are. Scope, timeline and budget are agreed in step two of our process, before any design work begins, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
If you want a number for your own project, the estimator on this site gives a scope-based range in under two minutes, and a formal quotation follows a short requirements review.
