A professional website in India in 2026 typically costs between ₹25,000 and ₹8,00,000, depending on scope. A one-page landing site sits at the low end; a custom web app with logins, payments, and a dashboard sits at the high end. The single biggest cost driver is not design — it is how much custom logic runs behind the page.
Here are the honest bands we quote most often. A polished single landing page runs roughly ₹25,000–₹60,000. A 5–8 page business website with a blog and contact forms runs ₹60,000–₹2,00,000. A custom web application — dashboards, user accounts, payments, admin panels — starts around ₹2,50,000 and climbs with every integration. Ongoing costs (hosting, domain, maintenance) add ₹1,000–₹15,000 a month.
Beware two traps at the cheap end: a ₹5,000 template site usually cannot be found on Google and cannot grow, and "unlimited revisions for ₹8,000" almost always means a slow, generic result. Price tracks the value the site produces, not the number of pages. A site that books ten qualified leads a month is worth far more than one that simply exists.
Key takeaways
- Landing page: ₹25,000–₹60,000; business site: ₹60,000–₹2,00,000; custom app: ₹2,50,000+.
- The cost driver is custom logic and integrations, not the page count.
- Budget ₹1,000–₹15,000/month for hosting, domain, and maintenance.
- Very cheap template sites rarely rank on Google or scale with the business.
- Ask for a fixed scope and a written change-order rate before you sign.
Practical checklist
- List every feature that needs a login, a payment, or a database.
- Separate one-time build cost from monthly running cost in the quote.
- Confirm who owns the code and hosting when the project ends.
- Ask to see two live sites the team actually built, not a portfolio grid.
What to do next week
The right budget is the one that pays itself back in leads or sales within a few months — not the lowest number on the quote. If you want a transparent, itemised estimate for your specific site, TechTrio gives fixed-scope quotes with the running costs spelled out up front, so there are no surprises after launch.
How we work with clients at TechTrio
Every engagement at TechTrio Automation starts with a short discovery phase: we map your current stack, traffic, conversion paths, and operational bottlenecks. From there we propose a phased roadmap — quick wins first (tracking, analytics hygiene, performance, or a focused automation), then deeper builds (product modules, integrations, or marketing systems). Our teams in Ahmedabad and Mehsana collaborate closely with stakeholders in India, the UK, USA, Canada, and the UAE, so documentation, handoffs, and support hours stay practical.
We bias toward maintainable defaults: typed frontends where it pays off, predictable hosting on Vercel or similar for marketing sites, Firebase or Postgres depending on data and compliance needs, and observability so you are never guessing whether a workflow ran. Security is not an afterthought — least-privilege access, secrets outside the repo, and reviews for anything that touches payments or personal data.
If you are evaluating an agency or studio partner, ask for references in your industry, a clear definition of done, and a plan for what happens after launch. We publish these articles because we want founders and operators to make better decisions — whether or not you ever hire us. When you are ready for a deeper conversation, book a short session from our site and we will help you prioritise what to build, automate, or measure next.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a basic website cost in India in 2026?
A polished single landing page runs roughly ₹25,000–₹60,000, and a 5–8 page business website with a blog and forms runs ₹60,000–₹2,00,000. Custom web apps with logins and payments start around ₹2,50,000.
Why do website quotes vary so much?
The biggest cost driver is custom logic and integrations, not the number of pages. Two 5-page sites can differ several times over if one needs logins, payments, and a dashboard.
What are the ongoing costs of running a website?
Budget roughly ₹1,000–₹15,000 per month for hosting, domain, and maintenance, depending on traffic and how much custom back-end runs behind the pages.
Is a cheap ₹5,000 template website worth it?
Rarely. Very cheap template sites usually cannot be found on Google and cannot grow, so they cost more in lost leads than they save on the build.
