"How much does a website cost?" is the most-asked question in our business. This guide gives you a clear, honest answer — broken down by type of website and what is actually included at each price point.
| Website Type | Price Range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Business Website (5 pages) | ₹15,000–₹30,000 | 2–3 weeks |
| Corporate Website (10–20 pages) | ₹40,000–₹90,000 | 4–6 weeks |
| E-Commerce Store | ₹60,000–₹1,50,000 | 6–10 weeks |
| Custom Web Application / Portal | ₹1,00,000–₹5,00,000+ | 3–6 months |
| WordPress Website | ₹20,000–₹70,000 | 3–5 weeks |
You will find websites being offered for ₹3,000 and for ₹3,00,000. The difference comes down to three things: design quality, code quality, and what happens after launch. A ₹3,000 website is usually a template with your logo placed on top — it will look like hundreds of other websites and perform poorly on Google. A properly custom-built site is an investment that pays back through leads and credibility.

Many Indian web design quotes look affordable until you read the fine print. Watch out for: hosting fees not included in the quote, ongoing platform licensing (e.g. website builders like Wix or Squarespace charge monthly), charges to make future content updates, domain renewal costs, and SSL certificate fees. At Himalayan IT Solutions, our quote is all-in — no annual licence, no update fees, no platform lock-in.
Timeline depends on scope. A basic 5-page business website typically takes 2–3 weeks from briefing to launch. A corporate site with 10–20 pages and custom design takes 4–6 weeks. An e-commerce store with product management and payment integration takes 6–10 weeks. Custom web applications vary from 3 to 6 months. These timelines assume the client provides content (text and images) promptly — delays in content delivery are the most common reason projects overrun their schedule.
A website pays for itself when it generates enquiries that convert into revenue. For this to happen, it needs to rank on Google (requiring proper SEO from day one), load fast on mobile (under 3 seconds on a 4G connection), clearly communicate what you do and why customers should trust you, and make the next step — calling, WhatsApp-ing, or submitting a form — obvious and frictionless. These are not extras. They are the baseline for a website that works as a business tool rather than an online brochure.
Can I get a website for ₹5,000?
Yes, but it will be a template installation with no custom design, limited SEO, and no ongoing support. For a business that wants to generate leads online, this is usually false economy.
Does the price include content writing?
Not usually in standard packages. Content writing is a separate service. We can provide it for an additional fee, or you can provide the text and images yourself.
Do I own the website after it is built?
With Himalayan IT Solutions, yes — completely. The code, design files, domain, and hosting account all belong to you. Many agencies retain ownership and charge ongoing fees; we do not.
