What makes a website cost more?
- Page count — each additional designed page adds cost.
- A CMS so you can edit content yourself, versus static pages.
- Payments / e-commerce — a cart, gateway integration and order flow are the single biggest jump.
- User accounts and custom logic — moves the build from a website to a web application.
- Custom design versus a customised template.
- Content — copywriting, photography and translation are often quoted separately.
What are the ongoing costs of a website in India?
Build cost is one-off; running the site is not. Budget roughly ₹800–₹1,200 a year for a .com or .in domain and ₹2,000–₹10,000 a year for shared hosting suitable for a small business site. An SSL certificate is usually free via Let's Encrypt. Optional ongoing costs include maintenance, content updates and SEO.
