In 2026, a professional business website costs ₹3-6 lakhs ($3.5-7K), an e-commerce store ₹6-12 lakhs+ ($7-14K+), and a custom web app ₹8-25 lakhs ($10-30K) from an established Indian agency. Freelancer template sites exist at ₹30,000-1 lakh, but you trade away design quality, SEO structure, and post-launch accountability. Use the calculator above for a range specific to your project.

Monthly running costs break down as: hosting ₹400-1,700/month (₹5,000-20,000/yr for most business sites), domain ~₹85/month (₹1,000/yr), and maintenance at 15-25% of the build cost per year — roughly ₹4,000-12,000/month on a ₹3-6L business site. High-traffic e-commerce and web apps run higher on hosting, at ₹5,000-50,000/month.

A custom e-commerce website costs ₹6-12 lakhs+ in 2026 — covering product catalog, cart, Razorpay/Stripe payments, order management, and an admin panel. A Shopify store gets you live faster at ₹1-3 lakhs of setup and theming, plus ongoing platform fees (₹2,500-25,000/month) and transaction charges. Custom wins once you need marketplace logic, custom checkout flows, or high-volume scale.

A professionally designed and developed 5-page business website falls in the ₹3-6 lakh tier — including custom design, CMS, contact forms, responsive build, and SEO-ready structure, delivered in 3-6 weeks. Template-based versions from freelancers run ₹30,000-1.5 lakhs, which is fine for a placeholder but rarely holds up as your primary lead-generation asset.

WordPress or Shopify costs 30-50% less upfront — a WordPress business site might run ₹1.5-3 lakhs versus ₹3-6 lakhs custom. The trade-off arrives later: plugin licenses, security patching, performance ceilings, and customisation limits. Custom builds (Next.js/React) cost more on day one but scale cleanly and avoid recurring platform lock-in. For validation-stage projects we often recommend the platform route; for a long-term product, custom.

In 2026, junior web developers charge ₹800-1,200/hr, mid-level ₹1,200-1,800/hr, and senior engineers ₹1,500-2,700/hr at established Indian agencies. Freelancers can be cheaper but shift PM, QA, and architecture responsibility onto you. Comparable US developers bill $100-200/hr — the core reason India-built websites cost 40-60% less.

A business website takes 3-6 weeks, an e-commerce store 6-10 weeks, and a custom web app 8-16 weeks. The biggest timeline variables are content readiness (copy, images, product data) and revision cycles — projects where content arrives on time routinely land at the fast end of these ranges.
