The short answer
For most small businesses, a good website or online store costs between ₹12,999 and ₹50,000. Business software, such as a booking portal or an app, starts much higher, because it is built around how your business works. Here are our starting prices, so you have real numbers to compare:
- Landing page: ₹12,999 onwards, live in 3–5 days.
- Business website (5–10 pages): ₹29,999 onwards, 2–3 weeks.
- Website redesign: ₹21,999 onwards, 1–2 weeks.
- Shopify store: ₹39,999 onwards. WooCommerce store: ₹47,999 onwards.
- Web app or portal: ₹1,49,999 onwards, 4–8 weeks.
- Mobile app: ₹2,59,999 onwards. SaaS product (first version): ₹3,89,999 onwards.
Each price includes design, building and launch. For a quick figure for your own project, try the price estimator.
What makes the price go up
- Number of pages and products. Every extra page needs writing, design and checking on phones.
- Custom features. Bookings, logins, payments or links to other software take extra time to build and test.
- Content. If you need help writing the words or taking photos, that adds work.
- Deadlines. A launch date that is very close may need more people on the project.
Why cheap websites often cost more
A ₹5,000 website can look fine on day one. The trouble shows up later: the site is slow on phones, Google can’t find it, the developer stops replying, or the domain is registered in their name, not yours. Then you pay again to rebuild it. Paying a little more for a site that brings enquiries, and that you fully own, is usually cheaper over two or three years.
Running costs to plan for
Every website also needs a domain name and hosting, and Shopify charges a monthly plan. These are paid straight to the provider, in your name, so you are never locked in. Ask any developer to list these costs in writing before you start. If you want someone to look after updates, backups and security, our care plan starts at ₹2,499 a month.
Five questions to ask before you pay anyone
- Is the price fixed, and is it written down with everything that’s included?
- When will it go live, and will I see progress along the way?
- Will the domain, hosting and code be in my name?
- Who fixes it if something breaks after launch, and for how long is that free?
- How will we know if the website is actually working for my business?
If the answers are vague, keep looking. At XLVI Arcus every one of these is answered in your written proposal, before you pay anything. You can see how on our process page.
