How much does a website cost?
A website costs between ₹14,999 and ₹74,999 + GST for most small and mid-sized businesses in India when it is built by a registered agency. A simple 5-page site sits at the lower end, a custom-designed site with bookings or payments at the upper end. Online stores start around ₹34,999, and custom web applications from ₹1,50,000. After launch, plan for domain and hosting every year, from about ₹1,428.

What decides how much your website costs?
- Number of pages: a 5-page site costs less than a 25-page company site, mainly because of design and content work.
- Features: online payments, logins, bookings, a second language or an admin dashboard each add engineering time.
- Design level: a customised template is quicker; a fully custom design takes more rounds of senior design time.
- Content: if you supply finished text and photos it costs less than having them written and shot for you.
How much does a website cost per year?
The build is a one-time cost. Every year you pay for the domain (a few hundred rupees to about ₹1,500), hosting (from about ₹1,428 on The PowerHost, our hosting brand) and, if you want someone to look after it, maintenance from ₹9,999 a year. Very cheap build quotes often make their money back in year two, so ask every developer for the year-two cost in writing.
