"How much does a website cost?" is one of the most Googled questions by Indian business owners in 2026 — and the answer varies wildly. You can spend ₹5,000 or ₹5,00,000 and both can be "correct" depending on what your business needs. This guide gives you the honest, no-fluff breakdown.
Website Cost in India — 2026 Price Guide
| Type | Cost Range | Best For | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | ₹5,000 – ₹12,000 | Single product, new startup, quick online presence | 3–5 days |
| Business Website (5–8 pages) | ₹12,000 – ₹30,000 | Local shops, service businesses, professionals | 7–14 days |
| E-commerce Store | ₹25,000 – ₹80,000 | Online retail, product businesses | 2–5 weeks |
| Custom Web Application | ₹60,000 – ₹2,50,000 | Portals, booking systems, SaaS | 6–16 weeks |
| Full SaaS Platform | ₹2,00,000 – ₹10,00,000+ | Multi-tenant software products | 3–12 months |
What Affects Website Cost?
1. Design Complexity
A standard template-based website costs far less than a fully custom-designed one. Custom designs require more hours but result in a website that stands out from competitors. At NiyajTech, we offer both — templates for speed and budget, custom design for businesses that want to impress.
2. Number of Pages
A 5-page website (Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact) is a fraction of the cost of a 50-page e-commerce store with product listings, filters, and cart functionality. Each additional page or feature adds development time.
3. Features & Integrations
Standard contact forms are cheap. But payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), WhatsApp automation, CRM integration, booking calendars, and admin dashboards — each adds cost and time. Be clear about what you need before asking for a quote.
4. Content Creation
Many agencies quote only for "development." Ask whether content writing, photography, and SEO copywriting are included — or you'll face surprise add-on costs later.
Beware of "free website" offers from local vendors. These usually lock you into a monthly fee of ₹2,000–₹5,000 forever, control your domain and hosting, and leave you with no assets if you stop paying. Always own your own domain and hosting.
