Website Development Cost in India 2026: Price List, Charges and Hidden Costs

Ask three companies for a price and you'll probably get three very different numbers. One says ₹12,000. Another says ₹60,000. A third won't give a figure until you've sat through two calls. None of them is lying. They're pricing different amounts of work, and most quotes don't say what they left out.

This guide gives you the real 2026 price for each type of website, the costs that turn up after launch, and a simple way to check any quote before you sign. We've been a website design and development company in India since 2010, so these numbers come from quotes we write and projects we deliver, not from guesswork.

Website Development Cost in India 2026: Price Table

Here's what professional companies in India charge in 2026 for each type of website. Freelancers usually charge 30 to 50 percent less, and big metro agencies charge more.

All prices are before 18% GST. Domain, hosting and business email are extra unless the package says otherwise, and they renew every year.

What Decides the Cost of a Website in India

Six things move the price. The type of website matters most, so decide that first.

Static vs Dynamic Website Cost in India

A static website shows the same fixed pages to every visitor, and you need a developer to change the text. A dynamic website pulls its content from a database, so you can edit pages, add blog posts or list products yourself from an admin panel.

Our advice: if you'll change your content more than once a month, pay for dynamic now. Turning a static site into a dynamic one later usually means a rebuild, which costs more than doing it once.

WordPress, Shopify or Custom Code: Cost Compared

The platform sets two prices: what you pay to build the site, and what you pay every year to keep it running.

WordPress website development cost in India

A WordPress site built on a good theme costs ₹20,000 to ₹60,000. A custom WordPress theme designed for your brand costs ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000. Budget ₹3,000 to ₹10,000 once for a premium theme and ₹2,000 to ₹15,000 a year for each paid plugin. WordPress runs more than 40% of all websites, so finding someone to update it later is easy. Our WordPress development team builds on lightweight themes to keep plugin costs down.

Shopify website development cost in India

Shopify charges a monthly fee on top of the build. In India the Basic plan is ₹1,499 a month paid yearly (₹1,994 month to month), Grow is ₹5,599 and Advanced is ₹22,680 a month paid yearly. Shopify also adds its own fee on every sale made through an outside gateway such as Razorpay: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced. Paid apps for reviews, shipping or WhatsApp often add a few thousand rupees a month. Shopify prices were checked in September 2026.

Custom website development cost

Custom code costs more up front because every part is written for you. It pays off when you need logic that plugins handle badly: live pricing, multi-branch booking, dealer portals, or sync with ERP or Tally. For a normal business website, custom code is usually money you don't need to spend.

Ecommerce Website Development Cost in India

An online store costs more than any other type of website because it has more moving parts: product pages, variants, cart, checkout, payment gateway, shipping rules, GST invoices and an order dashboard.

Don't forget the payment gateway cut. Razorpay, PayU and similar gateways charge about 2% of each sale, plus 18% GST on that fee. On ₹5 lakh of sales a month, that's about ₹11,800 a month. Our full ecommerce website cost guide breaks every store cost down line by line.

Landing Page and One-Page Website Cost

A single landing page for an ad campaign, product launch or event costs ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 on a template and ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 with custom design and A/B test versions. A landing page that sends every lead straight into your CRM costs ₹25,000 to ₹60,000.

Spend on the words and the form, not on extra pages. A landing page is judged on one number: how many visitors send an enquiry.

Website Redesign Cost in India

A redesign that keeps your content and URLs costs 30 to 70 percent of a new build. A full rebuild on a new platform costs the same as a new website. If your current site ranks on Google, the new one must keep the same URLs or set 301 redirects, or you'll lose that traffic. Our website redesign service maps every old URL before launch for exactly this reason.

Website Design Cost in India vs Development Cost

People search both terms as if they mean the same thing. They are two different jobs, and some companies price them separately.

Most Indian agencies quote one price for both. If a quote looks cheap, check whether it covers design only, development only or the whole job.

Website Cost by Industry

Your industry decides which features you need. Clinics need booking, real estate needs listings and schools need admission forms, and features drive the price.

Website Development Charges by City

Office rent and salaries pass straight into quotes. The same website costs noticeably more from a Mumbai agency than from one in Jaipur, even when the work is identical.

You don't need an agency in your own city. Most website projects run fine over video calls, WhatsApp and a shared preview link. Choose on the quality of their past work and their support terms, then use location to compare price.

Freelancer vs Agency vs In-House Team: Cost Compared

The cheapest option on day one isn't always the cheapest over two years. Ask each option what happens when something breaks in month eight. A company with written support terms can answer that. A single freelancer often can't.

Hidden and Yearly Costs After Launch

A ₹30,000 quote can turn into ₹60,000 once everything it left out shows up. Here is the full list, with 2026 prices.

Most small business websites cost ₹5,000 to ₹12,000 a year to keep online after year one, plus a maintenance plan if you want someone else to handle updates. Ongoing SEO is a separate monthly cost, covered in our SEO cost in India guide.

GST on Website Development in India

Website design and development services in India attract 18% GST.

Two things catch people out:

• Freelancers may not charge GST at all. A freelancer earning under ₹20 lakh a year (₹10 lakh in some north-eastern and hill states) doesn't have to register, so their quote has no tax line. A registered company must add it. Compare both quotes before tax.
• GST-registered businesses can usually claim it back as input tax credit, which makes the tax cost-neutral. Check your own case with your CA.

Sample Budget: A 15-Page Business Website in Year One

Here's how a ₹30,000 quote turns into a full first-year budget. We've used our Enhanced package as the example, with typical prices for the extras, and assumed you write your own text.

Two things stand out. The build is only about half of the first-year spend. And once the site is live, it costs very little to keep running unless you choose a care plan.

How to Compare Website Development Quotes

Three quotes for the same brief rarely cover the same work. Put every quote through this checklist before you look at the price.

A fair payment schedule looks like 40 to 50 percent to start, 25 to 30 percent when you approve the design, and the rest at launch.

How to Lower Your Website Cost Without Cutting Quality

1. Write your own contentYou know your business better than any writer does. Send it as a Word file and let the agency tidy it up. That saves ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 a page.
2. Launch with fewer pagesStart with the 5 to 8 pages that bring enquiries, and add the rest once the site is earning.
3. Use a good template for version oneA well-chosen theme looks professional and costs a fraction of custom design.
4. Send clear referencesTwo or three websites you like, with a note on what you like about each, cut down the revision rounds.
5. Buy the domain yourselfIt costs under ₹1,500 and keeps ownership in your hands from day one.
6. Pay only for features you'll use this yearA member area you might need in 2028 can wait until 2028.
