Website quotes hide their composition, which makes comparison impossible. Break any quote into these six lines and the differences become obvious immediately.
The six cost lines
Every honest quote can be split like this:
- Design — ₹8,000–₹80,000 depending on template versus bespoke
- Development — ₹10,000–₹2 lakh depending on features
- Content and photography — ₹5,000–₹50,000
- Launch SEO — ₹5,000–₹30,000
- Hosting and domain — ₹2,000–₹15,000 per year
- Maintenance — ₹1,000–₹10,000 per month
What drives the number up
Custom integrations, dashboards, multi-language, payment flows and accessibility compliance. Page count barely matters — logic does.
What you can safely economise on
Animation, stock illustration, and enterprise hosting for a low-traffic site. Never economise on speed, mobile layout or content quality.
Budget the second year
Plan 15–25% of build cost annually for hosting, updates and content. Sites that get no second-year budget stop producing enquiries in about eighteen months.
Frequently asked questions
Is ₹5,000 for a website realistic?
Only as a template with your logo. It will not rank or convert.
One-time or monthly?
One-time build plus a small maintenance retainer is usually cheapest over three years.
Does a costlier site rank better?
Not directly. Structure, speed and content decide rankings — those just tend to cost more to do well.
