In short

How much does a professional website cost in India?

One published guide puts a professional business website in India at about ₹80,000 to ₹1,50,000, while simple sites cost less and online stores cost more.

Nishita Solutions quotes each website against a written scope, after a short consultation, instead of a fixed package.

  • Website type moves the cost the most
  • Domain, hosting and upkeep repeat every year
  • Compare written scope, not the headline price

Website cost in India by type: published ranges

A web hosting company publishes these ranges for India. They are one source, and other guides differ.

Source: a published guide to website costs in India by a web hosting company, read on 3 November 2026. A software development firm publishes ₹55,000 to ₹1,00,000 for a small business website and ₹1,25,000 to ₹4,25,000 for ecommerce, read the same day. These are not Nishita Solutions prices.

What drives website development cost

Two quotes can differ a lot and both be fair. These six things explain most of the gap.

  • Type of website

    A brochure site, an online store and a web application are different jobs.

  • Number of pages

    Each page needs its own words, layout, checks and search details.

  • Template or custom design

    A custom layout takes more design and testing than an adapted template.

  • Who writes the content

    Written copy, photos and video add work, and they are often missed in quotes.

  • Features and connections

    Payments, logins, bookings and software links each add build and test time.

  • Who builds it

    A builder tool, a freelancer and an agency cover different amounts of the work.

Yearly website costs after launch

A quote for the build rarely shows these. The same web hosting guide publishes all three.

Costs that repeat after a website goes live
CostPublished rangeWhat to check
Domain name₹500 to ₹1,500 a yearIt should be registered in your business name.
Hosting₹2,000 to ₹8,000 a yearCheck the renewal price, not only the first year.
Maintenance or support₹1,500 to ₹10,000 a yearOther agencies publish far more for monthly care, so compare the scope.

Website development packages: what to check in a quote

Ask these before you compare two prices.

  • How many pages are included, and who writes the words?
  • Is the design a template or made for you?
  • Are domain, hosting, SSL and business email included, and for how long?
  • How many rounds of changes are included?
  • Will the domain and every login be in your business name?
  • What does support cost after launch?

Limits

Website cost: when a new website is not the right spend

Sometimes a cheaper step should come first.

  • Your current site is sound but hard to find. Spend on SEO first.
  • Customers call you from Google Maps. Improve your Business Profile first.
  • You need one page for one ad. A landing page costs less than a full site.
  • Your services and prices are not settled. Settle them, then write the website.
