The honest price ranges (2026)
Prices vary wildly across India because 'website' covers everything from a one-page template to a custom platform. These are realistic ranges from an agency that publishes its numbers:
| Website type | Typical range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page (single page) | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 | 1 week |
| Business website (5–10 pages) | ₹25,000 – ₹75,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| Corporate / multilingual site | ₹75,000 – ₹1,50,000 | 4–6 weeks |
| eCommerce store (Shopify/Woo) | ₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000 | 3–5 weeks |
| Large store / custom features | ₹1.5 – ₹5 lakh | 6–10 weeks |
| Custom web application | ₹1.5 lakh onwards | 8+ weeks |
What actually drives the price
Four things move a website quote more than anything else: the number of unique page designs (not total pages), custom functionality (booking systems, calculators, portals), content creation (who writes the words and shoots the photos), and integrations (payments, CRM, WhatsApp).
What shouldn't drive the price: 'SEO-friendly' as a paid add-on. Proper structure, speed and schema markup should be standard — at Crisant they are.
Where cutting corners costs you later
The ₹8,000 website exists. It's usually a template with your name swapped in, hosted where you can't reach it, owned in ways you'll discover during a dispute. The three corners never worth cutting: ownership (domain and hosting in YOUR name), speed (slow sites lose Google rankings and visitors), and mobile experience (most Indian traffic is mobile).
Ask any developer these three questions before paying: Will the domain and hosting be in my name? What happens if we part ways? Can I see the site's speed score before handover?
Monthly costs to expect after launch
Domain: ₹800–1,500/year. Hosting: ₹3,000–10,000/year for business sites. Maintenance: ₹2,500–10,000/month if you want updates, backups and monitoring handled. A website is an asset — and like every asset, it has running costs worth budgeting honestly.
