Website development cost in India (2026): real prices

Ask five agencies in Ahmedabad for a website quote and you might get prices from ₹5,000 to ₹5,00,000. That’s confusing, but the range makes sense once you know what you’re paying for.

Typical price ranges in 2026

• Template website from a freelancer: ₹5,000–₹15,000. Fine for a placeholder, rarely brings enquiries.
• Professional business website (5–10 pages, mobile-first, basic SEO): ₹20,000–₹50,000.
• Online store on Shopify or WooCommerce with payments and shipping: ₹40,000–₹1,50,000.
• Custom Next.js site or web app with a CMS: ₹90,000 and up.

What actually changes the price

• Number of unique page designs, not total pages. Ten service pages from one design cost far less than ten different layouts.
• Who writes the content. Good copy that answers what customers search is often worth more than the design.
• Integrations: payment gateways, CRMs, booking systems, ERPs.
• Speed and SEO work. A site that scores 90+ on Google’s speed test takes more care than one that just looks right.

Hidden costs to ask about before you pay

• Yearly hosting and renewal prices (the first year is often discounted).
• Premium theme or plugin licences that renew every year.
• Who owns the domain. It should be registered in your name.
• Charges for small changes after launch.

How to compare quotes

Ask every agency the same questions: how many pages, who writes the content, is SEO set up, can I edit it myself, what are the yearly costs, and can I see three live sites you built. A cheaper quote that skips SEO and speed usually costs more later.

Our own packages start at ₹19,999 for a starter site and ₹44,999 for a site built to bring enquiries from Google. Every project gets a fixed written quote before work begins.
