How much does a website cost in India?

The short answer

At CodeSavvy, a basic business website starts at ₹7,999 for clients in India and at $250 for clients outside India.

A basic website is a few clear pages: home, services, about and contact, with a contact form and a WhatsApp button. The price grows when you add pages and features.

What changes the price

• Number of pages. Ten service pages cost more than three.
• Custom design. A design made for your brand takes more time than a ready template.
• A CMS, so your team can edit text, photos and prices without a developer.
• Booking, payments or a shop.
• More languages.
• Writing the text and taking photos, if you do not have them.
• Links to other tools, such as a CRM, WhatsApp or a booking system.

Costs after launch

A website has small running costs. Ask for them in writing before you start.

• Domain name: paid every year.
• Hosting: some small sites run on a free plan. Bigger sites need a paid plan.
• Business email, if you want an address on your own domain.
• Updates and support, if you want the developer to make changes for you.

Cheap template or custom build?

A cheap template can be fine for a start. But many templates load slowly on phones and are hard to change later.

A hand-built site loads fast, is set up for Google from the first day and grows with your business. For a business that gets customers online, speed and search are worth the cost.

How to get a fair quote

• Write down the pages and features you need.
• Ask for a written plan, a timeline and a fixed price.
• Ask who owns the domain, the code and the content. It should be you.
• Ask what the running costs are after launch.
• Ask to see live websites the team has built.
