Website Development Cost in India, 2026 Pricing Table

The cost to develop a website in India depends on the type of site, number of pages, design requirements, and whether you need a CMS, e-commerce features, or a custom backend. Below is a straightforward pricing guide based on projects we actually deliver.

Website TypePages / ScopeTimelineCost in India (2026)

Quick note on Indian Rupee pricing: All prices here are for work delivered by Indian agencies or developers. If you are hiring from the US, UK, or Australia, expect to pay 4–6x more for the same scope.

What Affects Website Development Cost in India?

1. Design Complexity

A website built with a standard WordPress theme costs less than one with a fully custom design. If your site needs custom illustrations, micro-animations, or brand-specific layouts designed from scratch, add ₹15,000–₹60,000 to the base cost. For most small businesses, a well-configured premium theme (like Astra or GeneratePress) delivers excellent results without the extra cost.

2. Number of Pages and Content Sections

More pages mean more development time. A 5-page site (Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact) is straightforward. A 20-page site with unique layouts for each section, team pages, case study templates, and a blog archive takes considerably more time. When scoping your project, list every page you actually need rather than padding the count with pages that won't serve visitors.

3. CMS vs Custom Code

A Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress lets you edit content without touching code. This adds ₹5,000–₹20,000 to development but saves far more in ongoing editing costs. If you plan to update your site regularly, a CMS is always worth including.

Custom-coded sites (built in Next.js, Astro, or plain HTML/CSS) are faster, more secure, and easier to scale, but require a developer for content changes unless you add a headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful.

4. E-commerce Features

Adding a product catalog, shopping cart, and payment gateway (Razorpay or Stripe) to a site adds significant complexity. Expect to budget at least ₹40,000 for a basic WooCommerce store, and ₹80,000+ for a custom-built e-commerce solution with inventory management, discount codes, and analytics.

5. Integrations and Third-party Services

Every integration takes time. Common ones and their approximate cost in India:

6. SEO and Performance Optimisation

A website that ranks on Google needs more than just the right words. Technical SEO — proper heading structure, schema markup, fast load times, mobile responsiveness, clean URLs, and a sitemap — should be built in from day one, not bolted on later. At Vola, we include basic on-page SEO in every project. Advanced SEO packages start from ₹8,000/month.

7. Hosting and Domain

Hosting is separate from development. Shared hosting (Hostinger, BigRock) costs ₹1,500–₹5,000/year. VPS or cloud hosting (AWS, DigitalOcean, Vercel) costs ₹3,000–₹15,000/year depending on traffic. Domain registration costs ₹700–₹1,500/year for a .com.

WordPress vs Next.js vs Custom: Which Should You Choose?

For most businesses in Pune and across India, WordPress remains the practical choice. It is quick to launch, easy to manage, and has thousands of plugins for every use case. If you are building a product that needs a login system, user dashboard, or custom data flows, Next.js or a fully custom stack is the better investment.

Website Development Cost by City in India

Developer rates vary by city. Here is what a typical 10-page business website costs across major Indian cities:

CityAvg Agency RateBusiness Website CostE-commerce Store Cost
Pune₹1,200–₹3,000/hr₹25,000–₹55,000₹40,000–₹1,00,000

Hyderabad₹1,200–₹3,500/hr₹25,000–₹60,000₹40,000–₹1,00,000

Website Development for E-commerce in India

E-commerce website development in India is one of the fastest-growing segments. Whether you are selling fashion, electronics, food, or digital products, here is what to budget:

E-commerce TypePlatformCost (India, 2026)
Basic WooCommerce StoreWordPress + WooCommerce₹40,000–₹70,000
Custom E-commerce SiteNext.js + Stripe/Razorpay₹80,000–₹2,00,000
Multi-vendor MarketplaceCustom or Dokan₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000
Shopify Store SetupShopify + customisation₹20,000–₹60,000

For most small-to-medium businesses launching their first online store, WooCommerce on WordPress offers the best cost-to-capability ratio. For high-volume stores (1,000+ orders/day) or stores needing complex custom logic, a custom-built solution on Next.js or Node.js is better.

Website Maintenance Cost in India

Building a website is a one-time cost. Maintaining it is ongoing. Here is what to budget for website maintenance in India per month:

Sites left unmaintained become security risks. WordPress in particular needs regular plugin and core updates. If you don't have an in-house team to handle this, a maintenance retainer is worth the cost.

What is the difference between a WordPress site and a custom Next.js website?

WordPress is faster to build, includes a built-in CMS for easy content editing, and costs ₹15,000–₹60,000. Next.js sites are significantly faster (better Core Web Vitals), more scalable, and better suited for products with user accounts or dynamic data, but cost ₹50,000–₹3,00,000.

The cost difference is 60–75% with comparable quality. Indian agencies working with international clients are experienced in clear communication, milestone-based delivery, and time zone management.
