This is an estimate built from the published ranges in ourcost guide, not a quote. Your real number depends on your content, your integrations and your deadline.

The same brief gets quoted four different ways in India. These are the ranges each route actually charges. We have not folded them into the calculator above, because multiplying one published table by another would be guesswork dressed up as a number.
| Route | Typical cost | What you are buying | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small studio | ₹15,000 – ₹80,000 | A fixed quote, and the person who plans it builds it. | Smaller teams — pick one with live work you can check. |
| Freelancer | ₹8,000 – ₹40,000 | The best price for custom work. | Accountability — if they go quiet, your project stalls with no one to call. |
| Large agency | ₹1,00,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Process, a team, someone always reachable. | You also pay for account managers, sales layers and office rent. |
| Do it yourself on a builder | ₹3,000 – ₹12,000 | Speed to start, and full control of your own edits. | Your time, a slower site, and a hard ceiling on anything custom. Per year, not one-time. |
Deciding between them is its own question — we wrotefreelancer, agency or studioabout exactly that, andwhat a WordPress site really costsif that is the route you are being sold.
Website cost calculator: common questions
How accurate is this website cost calculator?
It is an estimate, not a quote. Every number it uses is a published range from our own guides rather than a formula, so it tells you the bracket you are in and what drives it. A real quote needs a conversation about your content, your integrations and your deadline.
Why does the estimate show a range instead of one price?
Because the same brief genuinely costs different amounts depending on how much is bespoke, who writes the content, and how many revisions you need. Anyone quoting one exact number before asking about those is guessing, or quoting for something smaller than you think.
What are the running costs of a website in India?
Domain renewal is roughly ₹700–₹1,500 a year. A static site can often be hosted free; shared hosting is ₹1,500–₹6,000 a year at the advertised rate and more at renewal. A care plan is optional and starts from around ₹5,000 a month.
Is the cheapest option always the wrong one?
No. For a few pages that rarely change, the cheap option is often the right answer, and a static site can be hosted free. The cheap option is only wrong when it quietly leaves out ownership, mobile testing, original content or support.
