How Much Does a Business Website Cost in India?

Ask five developers what a business website costs and you will get five very different numbers. That is because ‘a website’ can mean a one-page brochure or a portal with logins and payments. This guide explains what actually drives the price, so you can compare quotes fairly.

The six things that set the price

1. Number and type of pages

A home page, services, about and contact is a small site. Separate landing pages for each service and location, a blog and case studies take more design and writing time, but they are also what brings in search traffic.

2. Design: template or custom

Templates are cheaper but look like many other sites. Custom design reflects your brand and is planned around how your customers decide.

3. Features

• Enquiry and booking forms connected to a database or email
• Online payments
• Customer or student logins
• Admin panel to update content
• Integrations with WhatsApp, CRM or ERP

4. SEO foundations

A site that loads fast, has proper titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and server-rendered content will rank far better than one that looks good but is invisible to Google. This should be part of the build, not an add-on.

5. Content

Who writes the text and supplies photos? Professional copy that uses the words your customers search for is one of the biggest factors in whether a site brings enquiries.

6. Hosting and maintenance

Domain, hosting, SSL, backups and updates are yearly costs. Ask what is included after launch.

How to brief a developer so quotes are comparable

1. List the pages you need and any features (forms, payments, logins).
2. Share three websites you like and why.
3. Say who will provide text and images.
4. Ask each developer to quote design, development, SEO setup and the first year of hosting separately.
5. Ask who owns the code and the domain at the end.
