How much does a website cost in India?

What drives the cost

• Pages and content: a few standard pages cost less than a site with many service, location or product pages.
• Design: adapting a ready-made theme takes less time than an original design created for your brand.
• CMS: whether you need to edit content yourself, and how flexible that editing must be.
• E-commerce: product catalogue, payment gateway, shipping, GST invoices and order management all add work.
• Integrations: CRM, WhatsApp, booking systems, ERP or accounting software connections.
• Content: copywriting, photography and translation if you are not providing them.
• Ongoing costs: domain, hosting, SSL, paid plugins or apps, and maintenance or updates after launch.

How to get an accurate quote

1. 1List the pages you need and what each one should do.
2. 2Note features such as forms, payments, bookings, logins or multiple languages.
3. 3Share two or three websites you like and say what you like about them.
4. 4Decide who will write content and supply images.
5. 5Ask each vendor what is included: design rounds, testing, training, hosting and support after launch.

Comparing quotes fairly

Quotes vary because vendors include different things. Check whether you will own the code and content, whether the site is built on a template or custom design, who handles hosting, and what happens when something needs changing six months later. A lower upfront price can mean higher recurring app, plugin or maintenance costs.
