QUICK ANSWER

In India, a professional small-business website typically costs ₹25,000–₹80,000, and custom or ecommerce builds run from ₹60,000 to ₹5,00,000 or more. Restaurant and small-business sites from Western agencies commonly run $1,000–$3,000 for basic builds and $3,000–$10,000 for custom work. Scope, content readiness and integrations drive cost far more than page count.

The short answer

Website pricing varies more by who builds it and how much is custom than by where you are. Published 2026 guides from Indian agencies put a basic site at roughly ₹5,000–₹25,000, a professional business site at ₹25,000–₹80,000, and custom or ecommerce builds from about ₹60,000 to ₹5,00,000 or more. Guides from US agencies quote $1,000–$3,000 for a basic small-business site and $3,000–$10,000 for a custom build, with most projects taking four to eight weeks.

These are market ranges, not our price list. Use them to sanity-check quotes, then compare what's included, because two ₹50,000 quotes can deliver very different things.

What actually drives the cost

Page count matters less than people expect. What makes a website cost more is custom design (rather than a template), custom functionality, the number of content types and how ready the content is. Writing copy and producing photography often add more to a budget than the development itself.

  • Template vs. custom design
  • Number of distinct page templates (not total pages)
  • Ecommerce, bookings, memberships or multilingual needs
  • Integrations: CRM, payment, POS, booking engines
  • Who writes the copy and supplies imagery
  • Rounds of review and how many people give feedback
  • Ongoing hosting, maintenance and support

Hidden costs to ask about

Ask every supplier what happens after launch. Domain renewal, hosting, premium plugins or themes, email, SSL, backups and small content changes are often billed separately. A low build price with expensive, locked-in hosting can cost more over three years than a higher build price on hosting you control.

How to budget sensibly

Start from the outcome. How many enquiries or sales does the site need to produce to pay for itself? Then choose the scope that achieves that. Launch with the pages that sell, and add blog content, extra languages or advanced features in a second phase.
