How Much Does a Website Cost in India?

Ask three people what a website costs and you will hear three very different numbers. That is because "a website" can mean anything from a single page that lists your phone number to a full web application with logins and payments.

This guide breaks the cost into its parts, so you can compare quotes properly and plan a realistic budget for a small business.

The five parts of a website’s cost

• Domain name: your address, like yourbusiness.com. In India a .in domain typically renews at around ₹550–900 a year and a .com at around ₹850–1,800 a year, depending on the registrar.
• Hosting: where the website lives. Simple websites can be hosted free or for a few hundred rupees a month on modern platforms. Sites with a database or backend may need a paid plan as they grow.
• Design and development: the biggest variable. It depends on the number of pages, the features you need and whether the design is custom.
• Business email (optional): an address like you@yourbusiness.com usually costs a monthly fee per mailbox. Many small businesses start with Gmail and add this later.
• Maintenance: updates, security fixes and content changes after launch, either as a monthly plan or paid per change.

What a website costs at BAVIRA

We publish our starting prices so you can plan before you talk to anyone: a one-page Starter Website starts at ₹3,999, a Business Website with up to five pages starts at ₹8,999, and custom web applications with a database and logins start at ₹19,999. Maintenance plans start at ₹999 a month.

Domain, hosting and other third-party costs are separate and listed in the quotation, so nothing appears later as a surprise.

What makes the price go up

• More pages, especially if each needs custom content or layout
• Writing the content for you instead of using text you provide
• Features such as online payments, user logins, booking systems or dashboards
• Integrations with other tools, such as a CRM, Google Sheets or a payment gateway
• Tight deadlines that need work to be prioritised

Hidden costs to ask about before you agree

• Renewal prices: first-year domain and hosting offers are often much cheaper than the renewal price you pay every year after.
• Ownership: make sure the domain is registered in your name and that you receive the website files or code when the project is paid for.
• Revisions: ask how many rounds of changes are included and what extra changes cost.
• Paid plugins and themes: some builders rely on add-ons with their own yearly fees.
• Who maintains it: if no one updates the site, it slowly becomes outdated or insecure.

A realistic first-year budget

For a small local business using our published prices, a one-page website plus a domain usually comes to roughly ₹5,000–6,000 in the first year. A five-page business website with an enquiry form comes to roughly ₹10,000–11,000. Anything with logins, payments or a database starts at around ₹20,000 and depends on the scope.

The best way to know your exact cost is a written quote that lists what is included, what is not, the timeline and the number of revisions.
