Most small businesses in India pay between ₹20,000 and ₹1,50,000 for a website. A simple five-page site from a freelancer sits at the low end; an online shop with a payment gateway and custom design sits at the top.
Typical price ranges in India
- Single landing page: ₹8,000 to ₹25,000
- Business site, 5 to 10 pages: ₹20,000 to ₹75,000
- Online shop: ₹50,000 to ₹2,50,000
- Redesign of an existing site: ₹15,000 to ₹80,000

What pushes the price up
Custom design instead of a ready-made theme, the number of products in a shop, content writing, and connecting a payment gateway, WhatsApp ordering or a booking system. Agencies in metro cities usually charge more than freelancers in smaller cities for the same scope.
Costs that come on top in India
Budget separately for a domain (about ₹800 to ₹1,500 a year for a .com or .in), hosting (₹2,000 to ₹10,000 a year for a small site) and payment gateway charges, usually around 2% per transaction. A designer registered for GST adds 18% to the invoice, which you can claim back if you are registered too.
How to compare quotes fairly
Give every designer the same brief: number of pages, examples of sites you like, and whether you need to sell online. Ask for a line-by-line price, a timeline and what happens after launch. On VouchQuote every quote follows the same structure and at most three professionals reply, so you can compare them side by side. Quotes on VouchQuote are shown in US dollars.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Will I own the domain, the hosting account and the design files?
- How many rounds of changes are included?
- Who writes the text and supplies the photos?
- What does support cost after launch?
