The honest answer is that it depends on what the website has to do. A one-page site for a local shop and an online store with payments are very different projects. Here is what drives the price, so you can compare quotes properly.
What affects the cost of a website
- Number of pages. A single landing page costs less than a ten-page business site.
- Design. A custom design made for your brand costs more than a ready-made template, but it looks like yours alone.
- Features. Online payments, product catalogues, booking forms and WhatsApp links add work.
- Content. Writing text and preparing photos takes time. Ask whether it is included.
- SEO and tracking. Page titles, speed, a sitemap and analytics should be part of the build, not an afterthought.
Typical price ranges
At Content Crusaders our website packages run from ₹10,000 for a one-page site to ₹50,000 for a fully custom website or store, with 5-page and 10-page options in between. Other agencies and freelancers price differently, so compare what is included, not just the number.
Costs after launch
Plan for a domain name, which you renew every year, and for hosting. Many hosts include a free SSL certificate, which gives you the padlock and https. If you want regular updates, ask whether support is included or charged separately.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will I own the domain and the website files?
- Will the site work well on phones?
- Is basic SEO included?
- How many rounds of changes are included?
- What happens if something breaks after launch?
