What a Website Actually Costs in India in 2026 — Honest Breakdown by Option

DIY website builders (Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger Website Builder): ₹0–18,000/year. The monthly plans look cheap until you add up a year. The free tier puts the builder's own branding on your site. The 'business' tier needed for removing that branding and accepting payments typically runs ₹1,200–1,500 per month. You also do all the work yourself — design, content, setup, updates.

Freelancers: ₹3,000–25,000 one-time. The range is huge because the quality range is huge. The bigger hidden cost with freelancers isn't the build — it's the after. Who renews your hosting? Who fixes it when something breaks? What if your freelancer is unreachable when you need them?

Small agencies (like Apxpro): ₹6,999–25,000 one-time. This tier is where you get both the build quality and the ongoing accountability. The price is higher than a cheap freelancer because you're paying for a team, not one person, and for support after launch.

Large agencies: ₹50,000–2,00,000+. Makes sense for large e-commerce stores, enterprise applications, or businesses that genuinely need 50+ pages with complex integrations. Most small and medium Indian businesses are overpaying if they're in this tier for a basic corporate website.

Why Apxpro's Pricing is Genuinely Competitive — The Maths

Our Basic Plan is ₹6,999 all-inclusive. Here's what that price has to cover if you buy each component separately:

• Domain registration (1 year): ₹800–1,200
• Web hosting (1 year, decent quality): ₹2,500–4,000
• 5 business email accounts (1 year): ₹1,500–3,000
• Social media page setup (professional): ₹1,000–2,000
• Basic website build (5 pages): ₹5,000–15,000 from a freelancer

Total if bought separately: ₹10,800–25,200 — for the same components included in our ₹6,999 plan. We're able to offer this price because we've built efficient processes, we don't carry the overhead of a large agency, and we do volume.

What You're Actually Comparing When You Compare Prices

When you get three quotes from different providers and they range from ₹3,000 to ₹75,000, the natural reaction is to assume the ₹3,000 one is a scam and the ₹75,000 one must be the best. Usually neither is true. Here are the real questions to ask:

• Is hosting included or extra? (A '3,000 website' that needs ₹6,000/year hosting isn't ₹3,000)
• Who owns the domain name after the project? (It must be registered in your name)
• Is basic SEO setup included, or is ranking for anything an extra?
• What happens after launch — who supports it?
• Can I see 2–3 real websites they've built? (Not mockups — live URLs)
• What does year two cost? (Free first year is fine — what about renewal?)

Who Our Pricing is Right For

Our plans work best for small and medium businesses across India that need a professional, properly-built website and don't want to gamble on a cheap freelancer or overpay for agency overhead they don't need.

Specifically: first-time website buyers replacing a word-of-mouth-only or JustDial-only approach, businesses replacing a broken or outdated site, growing businesses that need more than a basic landing page but don't need a 50-page enterprise system.

If you're an enterprise, a large e-commerce brand with thousands of SKUs, or need complex custom software integrated into your website, we'll tell you upfront if you need a larger team than ours. We'd rather lose a project that doesn't fit than take it and deliver something that doesn't work for you.
