Question 1

How much does a basic website cost in India in 2026?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Why do website quotes vary so much?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What are the ongoing costs of running a website?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Is a cheap ₹5,000 template website worth it?

Accepted Answer

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.
