Website development cost depends on what the website must do, how much original design and content it needs, which systems it connects to, and how it will be supported after launch.
This guide provides realistic planning ranges by project type and explains which deliverables should be included at each level.
| Project type | Indicative range | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| One page website | Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 45,000 | One to three weeks |
| Basic brochure website | Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 75,000 | Two to five weeks |
| Professional business website | Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 2.5 lakh | Four to ten weeks |
| Lead generation website | Rs. 1.5 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh | Six to fourteen weeks |
| Ecommerce website | Rs. 1.5 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh or more | Six to sixteen weeks |
| Membership or booking platform | Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh | Eight to twenty weeks |
| Custom portal or web application | Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 30 lakh or more | Three to twelve months |
These ranges are for planning. The final cost depends on scope, content, integrations, migration, testing, security, and support.
A one page site can work for a new service, event, campaign, or small business with one clear offer. It should still include responsive design, contact actions, analytics, basic SEO controls, and performance testing.
It becomes unsuitable when the business has several services, locations, audiences, or search topics that need dedicated information.
A brochure site commonly includes a home page, services, about, contact, and basic legal pages. Lower cost projects often use an existing design system and supplied content.
Check whether copywriting, image preparation, SEO setup, form tracking, and maintenance are included.
This level usually adds custom page planning, stronger messaging, original design, service pages, portfolio content, better tracking, and a more complete SEO foundation.
A lead generation website connects search intent, landing pages, proof, offers, forms, calls, WhatsApp, CRM workflows, and attribution.
Cost increases because the project needs deeper content, conversion planning, service and location architecture, analytics, and ongoing optimisation.
Ecommerce cost depends on catalogue size, product types, variants, payments, shipping, tax, inventory, returns, promotions, customer accounts, and integrations.
Product photography, data entry, marketplace feeds, and ERP integration can materially increase the budget.
These projects require user accounts, permissions, subscriptions or payments, calendars, availability, notifications, cancellation rules, and administrator workflows.
Edge cases such as failed payments, double booking, refunds, time zones, and account recovery must be tested.
A portal or application may include multiple user roles, dashboards, business rules, reports, integrations, document workflows, and mobile access.
The project should begin with discovery, architecture, data design, prototypes, a prioritised backlog, and an MVP plan. Quotations based only on a feature list are unreliable.
Compare launch cost plus hosting, licences, maintenance, updates, support, and expected improvements. A lower initial price can create a higher ownership cost when the website depends on weak code or many paid tools.
Set the budget according to business risk and expected value. A simple information website and a revenue critical ecommerce or lead generation platform should not be planned with the same process.
