What changes the price of a website?
Six things move a website quote more than anything else. Ask every studio or freelancer how they have priced each one.
Number of pages and templates
A five-page site and a fifty-page site are different jobs, but pages are not the real unit. Templates are. Ten service pages that share one layout cost far less than ten pages that each need their own design. Ask how many unique templates your quote includes.
Custom design or an adapted theme
Adapting a ready theme is the cheapest route and often fine for a new business. A custom design built around your brand and your customers' decisions takes longer and costs more. It is also the part that changes how many visitors enquire or buy.
Who writes the content
Many quotes assume you will send final text and images. If you want the studio to write copy, plan the page structure or arrange photography, that is extra work and should be on the quote as a line item.
Integrations
A contact form is simple. Connecting the site to a CRM, a booking tool, a payment gateway or WhatsApp takes build and testing time. Each integration adds cost and one more thing to maintain.
CMS and multi-language needs
If your team will edit pages themselves, the site needs a content management system set up for how you work. A second language roughly doubles the content to manage, even when the design is reused.
Migration from an existing site
Moving an old site means redirecting old URLs, keeping what already ranks on Google and cleaning up content. Skipping this is the usual reason a redesign loses traffic. It takes time, so it costs money.
How much does each type of website cost?
Prices below are published market ranges for India, not pSkyro Labs quotes. Guides disagree on exact figures, so treat each as a band rather than a price.
| Type | Range | Source | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional business website | ₹25,000–₹1,50,000 | PageTraffic, 2026 | Service businesses, clinics, consultants, studios |
| E-commerce or custom website | ₹80,000–₹5,00,000 | PageTraffic, 2026 | Stores, portals and sites with custom features |
| Shopify store, agency build | ₹50,000–₹3,00,000 | Indian Shopify development cost guides, 2026 | D2C brands that want to sell fast |
| WooCommerce store, set-up | ₹35,000–₹1,50,000 | WooCommerce India cost guides, 2026 | Content-heavy sites already on WordPress |
Freelancer, agency or studio: who should build your website?
The cheapest option is not always the lowest-risk one. This table is qualitative, because the prices overlap and depend on the person or team.
| Compared on | Freelancer | Agency | Studio like pSkyro Labs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lowest for a simple, well-briefed site | Highest; you pay for account management and process | Between the two; the people who design also build |
| Who you deal with | One person | An account manager, then a team | The designer and developer directly |
| Main risk | Availability, handover and skills gaps | Cost and a slow, layered process | Fit: check the studio has built something like yours |
| Strategy and content structure | Sometimes | Usually | Included |
| Support after launch | Depends on the person | Usually a contract | Agreed per project |
What hidden and ongoing costs should you plan for?
The build is a one-off. These are the costs that come back every month or year.
Domain and hosting
Your domain renews every year and hosting is billed monthly or yearly. Ask whether the quote includes the first year of both, and whose account they sit in. They should be in yours.
Maintenance
A WordPress site needs core, theme and plugin updates, backups and security checks. One 2026 India guide puts freelancer upkeep at about ₹5,000–₹10,000 a month. Sites built on a managed platform or a modern framework need less, but not nothing.
Content and photography
A site with stock photos and thin text rarely converts. Budget for real photographs, a few pages of good copy and fresh content over time.
Plugins, tools and licences
Booking, email, forms, analytics and page-speed tools may carry subscriptions. List them before launch so none comes as a surprise.
Marketing
A new website does not bring visitors by itself. If you plan to run ads or invest in search, that spend sits on top of the build cost.

Questions people ask.
How much does a website cost in India?
A professional business website typically costs ₹25,000–₹1,50,000, and e-commerce or custom builds cost ₹80,000–₹5,00,000 (PageTraffic website cost guides, 2026). The spread comes from pages, custom design, content, integrations and who builds the site.
Is ₹10,000 enough for a website?
It can cover a very simple site. One 2026 India guide puts freelancer-built simple sites at about ₹5,000–₹40,000, and DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace start at about $16–$17 a month. A business site that must generate enquiries usually needs more than that.
How much does a 5-page website cost in India?
We could not find a published price by page count that we trust. A five-page brochure site usually falls in the lower part of the ₹25,000–₹1,50,000 business-site range, and the final price depends on custom design, content and integrations.
Why do website quotes differ so much?
Quotes cover different scopes. One may include copywriting, migration and a year of support, while another is a theme with your logo on it. Ask for an itemised quote and compare line by line.
Do I pay separately for hosting and a domain?
Often yes. Domain renewals and hosting are recurring costs. Ask whether the quote includes the first year, and make sure both are registered in your own name.
How much does a website cost in Bhopal?
The same market ranges apply: Bhopal is not priced differently in the guides we cite. pSkyro Labs is a Bhopal studio and gives a fixed quote after a short call. See our Bhopal website page for what we build.
Is a Shopify store cheaper than a custom website?
A basic Shopify build costs less than a custom build: ₹20,000–₹40,000 for a basic store against ₹80,000–₹5,00,000 for custom e-commerce, in the guides we cite. Shopify also adds monthly plan fees. Our Shopify guide has the numbers.
