Cost of making a website in India: builder, freelancer or agency

The method you choose often moves the price more than the website type. This is the website design price list most buyers need:

  • Website builder: about ₹2,000 to ₹30,000 a year, depending on the plan. Hosting is included.
  • Freelancer: about ₹10,000 to ₹50,000 for a small site. Dynamic business sites can reach ₹1.5 lakh.
  • Agency: usually ₹50,000 to ₹2 lakh or more, because design, revisions and project management are included.

Customising a template adds about ₹5,000 to ₹15,000. A fully custom interface can add ₹50,000 or more.

WordPress website cost in India

WordPress is free software, but a live site needs a domain, hosting and a theme. A domain costs ₹500 to ₹1,500 a year. Hosting costs ₹2,000 to ₹8,000 a year. A premium theme costs ₹3,000 to ₹7,000 once. Each premium plugin costs ₹1,000 to ₹8,000 a year.

A small WordPress site you manage yourself costs about ₹3,000 to ₹15,000 a year. If you hire someone, a partly customised site costs ₹15,000 to ₹40,000. A fully custom design costs ₹25,000 to ₹1.5 lakh or more.

What affects website development cost in India?

  • Pages. Each extra page adds design, content and testing work.
  • Design. Templates cost less than custom layouts.
  • Features. Booking, CRM links, memberships and multilingual support can add ₹5,000 to ₹50,000 each.
  • Ecommerce. Payment gateways, GST setup and shipping tools raise the price.
  • Content. Copywriting, logo and photos usually cost ₹5,000 to ₹30,000.

Website maintenance cost per year

A website costs money after launch. Outsourced support for a small site usually costs ₹1,500 to ₹10,000 a year. Ecommerce stores often need ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 a year. Builders include maintenance in the subscription.

Compare total cost over three to five years, not only the first quote. A ₹1.5 lakh site with ₹10,000 a year in maintenance costs about ₹2 lakh over five years.
