How Much Does a Website Cost in India in 2026?
If you have ever searched "how much does a website cost in India" — you already know the problem. The answers are all over the place. Some say ₹5,000. Some say ₹5 lakh. Neither is lying. They are just describing completely different products.
This guide gives you a clear, honest breakdown based on real projects we have delivered at Coderiva.
Why Website Prices Vary So Much
A website is not one thing. A 1-page portfolio built on a free template and a full e-commerce platform with payment gateway, admin panel, and order tracking are both called "a website." The difference in effort — and therefore cost — is enormous.
Price depends on:
- Number of pages
- Custom design vs template
- Backend features (admin panel, payments, login)
- Mobile responsiveness and performance
- SEO setup
- Post-launch support
Website Cost by Type — 2026 Pricing
Basic Website — ₹15,000 to ₹25,000
Best for portfolios, small local businesses, and personal brands. Includes up to 5 pages, mobile responsive design, contact form, and basic SEO setup. Deployed and live within 2 weeks.
Business Website — ₹35,000 to ₹60,000
Best for restaurants, cafes, clinics, coaching institutes, hardware stores, and service businesses. Includes up to 8 pages, admin panel to manage your own content, WhatsApp button, Google Analytics, and 2 months of free support after launch.
Premium Website — ₹70,000 to ₹1,20,000
Best for e-commerce stores, SaaS products, booking platforms, and startups. Includes unlimited pages, full admin panel, payment gateway integration (Razorpay / Stripe), login system for customers, advanced animations, and 3 months of support.

Freelancer vs Agency — What is the Difference?
Freelancers are cheaper. Agencies cost more. But that gap exists for a reason.
A freelancer typically handles one part of your project — either design or development. You end up coordinating between multiple people. Quality varies depending on who you get.
An agency handles everything — design, development, backend, deployment, SEO, and support. You get one point of contact. The output is consistent and production-grade.
At Coderiva, we handle every project end to end. No templates. No outsourcing. Every line of code is written by us.
Pricing by Business Type
- Restaurant or Cafe website — ₹25,000 to ₹45,000
- Hardware or Shop website — ₹20,000 to ₹35,000
- Doctor or Clinic website — ₹20,000 to ₹35,000
- Lawyer or CA website — ₹18,000 to ₹30,000
- Coaching institute website — ₹25,000 to ₹40,000
- Portfolio website — ₹15,000 to ₹25,000
- E-commerce store — ₹55,000 to ₹1,00,000
- Startup landing page — ₹30,000 to ₹50,000
Hidden Costs Nobody Mentions
Before you finalise a budget, account for these:
- Domain name — ₹800 to ₹1,500 per year (GoDaddy, Namecheap)
- Hosting — Free on Netlify for most sites. ₹3,000 to ₹15,000/year for dedicated hosting
- SSL certificate — Free via Let's Encrypt
- Annual maintenance — ₹2,000 to ₹8,000/month depending on changes needed
- Content writing — ₹500 to ₹2,000 per page if you need professional copy
What You Should Actually Ask Before Hiring
Price is one factor. But before you hire anyone, ask:
- Can I see live examples of websites you have built?
- Will I get the source code after delivery?
- Who owns the domain and hosting account?
- How many revisions are included?
- What happens if something breaks after launch?
At Coderiva, the answers are: yes, always, you do, 2 rounds, and we fix it free for 2 months.
Final Verdict
For most Indian businesses, a proper website costs between ₹25,000 and ₹60,000. Below ₹15,000, you are getting a template. Above ₹1,00,000, you are building a full product.
The right budget depends entirely on your business goals. A local clinic needs a different website than an e-commerce brand.
