Why Prices Vary So Wildly
Website development cost in India ranges from Rs.5,000 (a freelancer on a template) to Rs.50 lakh (an enterprise platform). That's a 10,000x range. Because "website" means completely different things.
What Determines the Cost
Complexity
- Brochure site (5–10 pages): Rs.15,000 – Rs.60,000
- Business website with CMS: Rs.40,000 – Rs.1,50,000
- E-commerce site: Rs.80,000 – Rs.5,00,000
- Custom web application: Rs.2,00,000 – Rs.20,00,000+
Design Quality
A template-based site costs less. A custom design built from scratch costs more — but converts better and stands out from competitors using the same theme.
Who Builds It
- Freelancer: Cheapest, but availability and accountability vary
- Agency: More expensive, but project management, testing, and support are included
- In-house team: Most expensive, justified only if you're shipping constantly
Ongoing Costs
- Domain: Rs.800–1,500/year
- Hosting: Rs.0 (Vercel free tier) to Rs.5,000+/month depending on traffic
- SSL: Free (Let's Encrypt)
- Maintenance: Rs.0 (custom code) to Rs.2,000+/month (managed WordPress)
