How Much Does a Website Cost in India for a Small Business? (2026 Guide)

If you run a small business and have started asking what a website costs in India, you have probably found answers ranging from "free" to a few lakh rupees. Both extremes are real, and neither helps you budget. This guide gives you honest 2026 numbers and what actually drives the price.

The short answer

For most small businesses, a professional website in India costs between ₹6,000 and ₹50,000. A simple few-page site sits at the lower end; an online store with payments and inventory sits at the top. Anything advertised as "free" usually costs you later in ads, limits, or a design that looks like everyone else's.

What each type costs

A static HTML website — a few clean, fast pages with no login or database — is the cheapest option, typically from ₹5,999. It is ideal if your content rarely changes.

A WordPress website, which you can update yourself, usually starts around ₹11,999 because it needs a custom theme, hosting setup and plugins configured properly.

An e-commerce store with a product catalog, payment gateway and order management starts around ₹29,999 and rises with the number of products and custom rules.

A fully custom website or web application — booking systems, customer portals, dashboards — starts around ₹14,999 and is quoted per requirement, because the logic is unique to you.

What actually drives the price

Three things move the number more than anything else: the number of pages, whether visitors need to log in or pay, and how custom the design is. A five-page brochure site is quick. The moment you add accounts, payments, or a booking calendar, you are paying for software, not just design.

How to keep it affordable

Start small. You do not need every feature on day one. Launch a clean, fast site that gets you found and taking enquiries, then add features as the business grows. This keeps your first cost low and your website earning sooner.
