What a website costs in 2026

Most agencies will not tell you what a website costs until after a call. We publish our prices, so this guide uses real numbers. It covers what a site costs, what pushes the price up, and where you can save.

The short answer

• Landing page: one custom page, from $1,500 (₹40K), about 1 week.

• Business website: 5 to 8 custom pages with a CMS, from $5,000 (₹1.2L), about 3 to 4 weeks.

Both include a responsive design for desktop, tablet and phone, SEO basics, forms connected to your email, and two rounds of changes. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.

What changes the price

Number of unique pages

A page with its own layout takes design time. Ten pages that share one layout, like blog posts or service pages, cost far less than ten different layouts. Count your unique layouts, not your total pages.

A CMS

If you will add blog posts, case studies, listings or team members yourself, you need a CMS. It adds setup time, but it saves you paying someone every time you want to publish.

Words and images

If you already have your text and photos, the project moves faster. If you need them written, copywriting is $200 (₹5K) per page. Stock photos and custom photography are extra.

Special features

Bookings, payments, member logins, multiple languages and integrations with other tools all add work. Some of these belong in a development project instead. We say so in the quote.

Costs people forget

• Domain: paid yearly to your domain provider.

• Hosting: paid monthly or yearly to the platform. We build in Framer, which includes hosting in its plans.

• Software: any paid tools the site connects to, such as a booking or email tool.

These are paid by you, directly to the provider, so you always own the accounts.

How to spend less

• Start with a landing page. One strong page can launch a business. Add pages when you need them.

• Reuse layouts. Ask for one service page design used five times, not five designs.

• Bring your content. Send your text and photos with the brief.

• Edit it yourself. A site you can update without a developer is cheaper every year after launch.

Questions people ask

Why is a template cheaper?

A template is already designed, so you pay for setup, not design. It is a fine start, but your site will look like other sites using the same template.

Do I own the website?

With us, yes. Everything is yours once paid in full, and the site runs on accounts in your name.

How long does it really take?

About 1 week for a landing page and 3 to 4 weeks for a business website. Slow feedback is the most common reason projects run late.
