Short answer: A simple business website usually costs ₹10,000 to ₹40,000 if a freelancer builds it. An agency usually charges ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 for a custom business website (one guide gives ₹55,000–₹1,50,000 for Delhi and Mumbai). An online store costs more. On top of that, you pay every year for your domain (about ₹500–₹1,500) and hosting (about ₹2,000–₹8,000).
These ranges come from published 2026 price guides. We list the sources at the end of this post.
“How much will my website cost?” is one of the first questions every business owner asks. And the honest answer is: it depends. But “it depends” is not very helpful when you are trying to plan a budget.
So in this guide we break the cost into simple parts. What you pay once. What you pay every year. And what makes one quote ₹15,000 and another ₹1,50,000 for what looks like the same website.
How much does a website cost in Delhi in 2026?
Here are typical price ranges across India, taken from 2026 pricing guides.
| Type of website | Typical price (one time) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic website (5–7 pages) | ₹8,000 – ₹15,000 | Small shops, home businesses |
| WordPress business website | ₹15,000 – ₹35,000 | Clinics, coaching centres, cafés, service businesses |
| Landing page (1 page for ads) | ₹10,000 – ₹40,000 | Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns |
| Custom business website (agency) | ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000 | Brands that want a unique design |
| Online store (WooCommerce, freelancer) | ₹25,000 – ₹1,00,000 | Shops selling products online |
| Online store (agency) | ₹1,50,000 – ₹4,00,000+ | Bigger stores with many products |
One guide by BrandStory gives a separate range for custom business websites in Mumbai and Delhi: ₹55,000 to ₹1,50,000. That is agency pricing for a fully custom design.
Notice how wide these ranges are. Two quotes for “a 5-page website” can be very different, and both can be fair. The next section explains why.
What makes a website cost more (or less)?
- Template or custom design. A ready theme changed to your colours costs much less than a design made from scratch.
- Number of pages. Each service page, location page or blog layout adds work.
- Selling online. Cart, payments, shipping and product pages make a store the most expensive type.
- Who writes the content. If you give the text and photos, it is cheaper. If the designer writes everything, expect to pay more.
- Extra features. Booking forms, WhatsApp chat, multiple languages, or links to other software all add time.
- Who builds it. A freelancer, a small agency and a big agency will price the same job very differently.
What do you pay every year after the website is made?
This is the part many people forget. The design is a one-time cost, but a website also has running costs.
| Running cost | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Domain name (like yourshop.in) | ₹500 – ₹1,500 per year |
| Shared hosting | ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per year |
| Managed WordPress hosting | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 per year |
| Premium plugins (if needed) | ₹1,000 – ₹8,000 per year each |
| Maintenance for a small site | ₹1,500 – ₹10,000 per year |
| Running an online store (WordPress) | ₹10,000 – ₹30,000 per year |
Many hosting companies show a low price for the first year and a higher renewal price after that. Always check the renewal price before you buy.
Freelancer, agency or do it yourself: which is right for you?
| Do it yourself | Freelancer | Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | Domain + hosting + your time | ₹10,000 – ₹1,00,000 | ₹50,000 – ₹4,00,000+ |
| Best for | Very small budget, simple needs | Small businesses with a clear plan | Bigger projects, custom design |
| Watch out for | Takes a lot of your time | Who fixes things after launch? | Higher price for small jobs |
For most local businesses in Rohini, Pitampura and nearby areas, a WordPress website from a small team is the sweet spot. You get a proper website, you can change text yourself later, and the cost stays in the lower ranges above.
Hidden costs to ask about before you pay
- Renewal prices for domain and hosting after year one.
- Paid theme or plugin licences that need yearly renewal.
- Changes after launch. Are small edits free for some time, or charged each time?
- Photos and content. Is writing and stock photography included?
- GST. Most published prices are without GST.
- Ownership. Make sure the domain and hosting are in your name, not the designer’s.

How Team Elivate prices a website
We are a small web design and digital marketing team in Rohini Sector 2, New Delhi. We do not use a fixed price list, because a café and an online clothing store need very different things.
Instead, we start with a free website audit. You get a report within 48 hours. Then we send one clear plan and a fixed quote, so the price does not change halfway. You approve everything before it goes live.
You can see websites we have built on our portfolio page, or read about our website design service in Rohini.
