Ask what a website costs in India and you will hear everything from ₹5,000 to ₹5 lakh — both technically true, for very different websites. Website development cost in India in 2026 depends on three things: what type of site you need, who builds it, and which features actually matter for your business. This guide turns that vague range into clear tiers, so you can budget with confidence instead of guessing.
Most business websites fall into four tiers:
The jump between tiers is about capability, not page count. A ten-page brochure site and a ten-page web app are worlds apart in engineering, and therefore in price.
The build price is only part of the picture. Plan for hosting (roughly ₹5,000–₹24,000 a year depending on traffic), a domain, an SSL certificate, and maintenance for updates and security — anywhere from ₹24,000 to ₹1.2 lakh a year for a business site that is actively looked after. Many good agencies include the first year of domain, hosting, and SSL free, so ask. What you should never accept is a vague answer about renewals; hidden recurring costs are how a cheap website quietly becomes an expensive one.
Platforms like Wix or WordPress let you launch cheaply and fast, and for a simple brochure that is a perfectly sensible start. The limits show up later: slower performance, template sameness, plugin costs that stack up, and SEO ceilings that cap how much free traffic Google will send you. A custom-built site — on modern frameworks like Next.js and React — costs more upfront but loads faster, ranks better, and scales with you, with no monthly platform tax. As with most software, it is a rent-versus-own decision: rent to test, own once you are serious.
Your website is often the first thing a customer sees, and in India it is increasingly the only thing they check before they call. Overspending on visual flourish nobody notices is as wasteful as underspending on the speed and SEO that actually bring visitors. Tech Assistant builds custom websites and web apps for Indian businesses — fast, mobile-first, SEO-ready, and built on modern technology you own outright. We start by understanding what your site needs to achieve, then scope a build that fits your budget, from a lean brochure site to a full web platform. Indicative packages are on our pricing page.
