Website Development Cost in Delhi (2026): What You Actually Pay For
What a website costs in Delhi in 2026 — typical ranges for business sites, e-commerce and web apps, what drives the price, and hidden costs to check.
By Proshala Team · Published · 3 min read
Short answer: in Delhi in 2026, a professionally built small business website typically costs somewhere between ₹25,000 and ₹1,00,000, an e-commerce store between ₹40,000 and ₹3,00,000+, and a custom web app from ₹2,00,000 upward. Template sites from freelancers can cost less than ₹15,000. The range is wide because "a website" can mean very different amounts of work.
These are typical market ranges we see when clients bring us other quotes — not our price list. Our own starting packages are on the pricing page.
What drives the price of a website?
Four things account for most of the difference between a ₹15,000 quote and a ₹1,50,000 quote.
1. Number of unique page designs
A five-page site where every page uses the same layout is quick to build. A site with a distinct homepage, service pages, location pages, a blog and a booking flow needs more design and development time. Count templates, not pages: twenty service pages built from one well-designed template cost far less than twenty unique designs.
2. Who writes the content
Content is the most underestimated part of a website. If you supply clear, final text and good photos, the build moves fast. If the developer has to interview you, write the copy and source images, that is real work — and it is usually what makes a site actually convert.
3. Features and integrations
Each of these adds cost because it adds logic and testing:
- Online booking connected to a calendar
- Payments (Razorpay, UPI, COD rules)
- WhatsApp Business API automation
- CRM, Google Sheets or IndiaMART lead integration
- Member or student logins
- Multiple languages
4. Platform
| Platform | Typical use | Upfront cost | Ongoing cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template / DIY builder | Very small sites | Lowest | Monthly builder fee |
| WordPress | Content-heavy business sites | Low to medium | Hosting + maintenance |
| Shopify | Online stores | Medium | Monthly Shopify plan + apps |
| Next.js | Fast, custom sites and apps | Medium to high | Low hosting, maintenance as needed |

Typical website costs in Delhi by type
| Type of website | Typical market range (2026) | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Single landing page for ads | ₹10,000 – ₹40,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Small business website (5–10 pages) | ₹25,000 – ₹1,00,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| WordPress site with blog | ₹30,000 – ₹1,20,000 | 2–5 weeks |
| E-commerce store | ₹40,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | 3–8 weeks |
| Custom web app / portal | ₹2,00,000+ | 6–14 weeks |
What hidden costs should you check?
Before you compare quotes, ask each developer about these:
- Domain — renewed yearly; must be registered in your name.
- Hosting — monthly or yearly; who pays, and in whose account?
- Premium plugins or themes — some have yearly licences.
- Shopify apps — many charge monthly.
- Maintenance — who updates, backs up and secures the site after launch?
- Changes after launch — how are they priced?
- WhatsApp and AI usage — automation tools have usage-based costs.
How to compare two website quotes fairly
Ask every company for the same three things in writing: a page list, a features list, and an ownership statement (domain, hosting, code and content belong to you). Then compare like for like. A cheap quote that excludes content, SEO setup and tracking often costs more over a year than a higher quote that includes them.
