what a website actually costs in 2026

Ask five studios what a website costs and you will get five answers, often an order of magnitude apart. That is not because anyone is guessing. "A website" covers everything from a single page that explains what you do to a full product with accounts, payments and a content system.

Here are the ranges we work with, and what puts you in each one.

Simple: ₹15,000 to ₹35,000

One to five pages. A clear message, contact details, maybe a booking link. You bring the words and the logo; we make it fast, clean and easy to update.

This is the right call more often than people think. If the job of the site is "look credible and make it easy to reach me", you do not need more.

Medium: ₹40,000 to ₹1,20,000

A proper marketing site. Custom design, a handful of templates (home, services, about, blog, contact), real copywriting help, basic SEO, analytics, and a CMS so your team can publish without calling us.

Most growing businesses land here.

Complex: ₹1,50,000 to ₹5,00,000

Anything that starts to behave like software. Logins, dashboards, payments, integrations with your CRM or inventory, multiple languages, or heavy custom animation.

At this point, the honest answer is "it depends on the features", which is why we scope these line by line.

What actually moves the price

• Number of unique layouts, not number of pages. Twenty blog posts on one template cost far less than five pages that all look different.
• Who writes the words. Copy is the most underestimated part of a website.
• Integrations. Every external system (payments, CRM, booking, email) adds build and testing time.
• Speed of decisions. Projects with one clear decision-maker finish faster and cost less.

Why we tell you upfront

We would rather lose a project on price than surprise someone halfway through. That is why the first thing you get from us is an estimate, before a call, and the scope and price are agreed before anything starts.
