Get Free Quote on WhatsApp Email UsThe 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 Type | Pages / Scope | Timeline | Cost in India (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | 1 page, contact form, basic SEO | 3–7 days | ₹8,000–₹18,000 |
| Small Business Website | 5–8 pages, CMS, contact form | 2–4 weeks | ₹25,000–₹50,000 |
| Corporate Website | 10–20 pages, blog, animations | 4–8 weeks | ₹50,000–₹1,20,000 |
| E-commerce Store | Products, cart, payments, admin | 6–12 weeks | ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 |
| SaaS / Web Application | Auth, dashboard, API, custom logic | 3–6 months | ₹80,000–₹5,00,000+ |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every integration takes time. Common ones and their approximate cost in India:
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.
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.
| Factor | WordPress | Next.js | Custom HTML/CSS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | ₹15,000–₹60,000 | ₹50,000–₹3,00,000 | ₹20,000–₹80,000 |
| Build Time | 2–5 weeks | 4–16 weeks | 2–6 weeks |
| SEO Performance | Good (with plugins) | Excellent | Excellent |
| Page Speed | Medium | Fast | Fast |
| Content Editing | Easy (built-in CMS) | Needs headless CMS | Needs developer |
| Scalability | Medium | High | Low |
| Best For | SMBs, blogs, portfolios | SaaS, large sites | Simple brochure sites |
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.
Developer rates vary by city. Here is what a typical 10-page business website costs across major Indian cities:
| City | Avg Agency Rate | Business Website Cost | E-commerce Store Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pune | ₹1,200–₹3,000/hr | ₹25,000–₹55,000 | ₹40,000–₹1,00,000 |
| Mumbai | ₹1,800–₹4,500/hr | ₹35,000–₹80,000 | ₹55,000–₹1,40,000 |
| Bangalore | ₹2,000–₹5,000/hr | ₹40,000–₹90,000 | ₹65,000–₹1,60,000 |
| Delhi NCR | ₹1,500–₹4,000/hr | ₹30,000–₹70,000 | ₹50,000–₹1,20,000 |
| Hyderabad | ₹1,200–₹3,500/hr | ₹25,000–₹60,000 | ₹40,000–₹1,00,000 |
Pune offers excellent value, with developer quality on par with Bangalore or Mumbai but at 20–35% lower rates. Vola Agency is based in Pune and serves clients across all major Indian cities as well as international clients in the UK, US, and UAE.

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 Type | Platform | Cost (India, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic WooCommerce Store | WordPress + WooCommerce | ₹40,000–₹70,000 |
| Custom E-commerce Site | Next.js + Stripe/Razorpay | ₹80,000–₹2,00,000 |
| Multi-vendor Marketplace | Custom or Dokan | ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000 |
| Shopify Store Setup | Shopify + 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.

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.
Website development cost in India in 2026 ranges from ₹8,000 for a simple landing page to ₹5,00,000+ for a custom web application. A standard 5–8 page business website costs ₹25,000–₹60,000. An e-commerce store runs ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 depending on the number of products and features needed.
A WordPress website in India typically costs ₹15,000–₹60,000. A basic 5-page site with a premium theme costs ₹15,000–₹30,000. A larger site with a custom child theme, multiple post types, and advanced plugins costs ₹35,000–₹70,000. This does not include hosting, domain, or content writing.
A simple landing page takes 3–7 days. A 5-page business website takes 2–4 weeks. An e-commerce store takes 6–12 weeks depending on the number of products, payment gateways, and design complexity. A custom web application takes 3–6 months. Timeline also depends on how quickly you provide feedback and content.
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. For brochure and blog sites, WordPress is usually the right choice. For SaaS products, Next.js is better.
Yes, significantly cheaper. A business website that costs $3,000–$8,000 in the US can be built for ₹25,000–₹60,000 (roughly $300–$720) by a quality Indian agency. 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.
