How this website cost calculator works
The estimate is built line by line, so you can see where the money goes:
Estimate = base build + extra pages + each feature you pick
- The base build depends on what you're building and the design level. It includes up to five pages (one for a landing page, five screens for a portal), a contact form and a mobile layout.
- Extra pages are priced per page, higher for custom design because every page is designed before it is built.
- Features each add their own range. A WhatsApp chat button adds almost nothing; a B2B buyer portal can add a lakh or more.
- Custom code instead of WordPress or Shopify adds a premium: small for a business site, large for a store, whose cart and checkout are then built from scratch.
Every figure is a range. The low end is a careful freelancer or small studio; the high end is an established agency doing more design, testing and project management. These bands match our guide to website development cost in Surat: ₹10,000–₹20,000 for a basic template site of 4–6 pages and ₹20,000–₹80,000 for a custom business site, with stores and portals priced by features.
Base prices used (WordPress or Shopify)
| Type | Ready-made theme | Custom design | Premium custom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | ₹5,000–₹12,000 | ₹12,000–₹25,000 | ₹25,000–₹50,000 |
| Business website | ₹10,000–₹20,000 | ₹20,000–₹45,000 | ₹45,000–₹90,000 |
| Online store | ₹25,000–₹60,000 | ₹60,000–₹1.4 lakh | ₹1.4–2.5 lakh |
| Portal or web app | ₹90,000–₹1.6 lakh | ₹1.3–2.5 lakh | ₹2–3.5 lakh |
A worked example
A Surat saree wholesaler wants a 10-page business website with a custom design on WordPress, a product catalogue with an enquiry button, a WhatsApp chat button and SEO setup. The calculator prices it like this:
- Business website, custom design: ₹20,000–₹45,000 (2.5–4 wk)
- 5 more pages: ₹7,500–₹17,500 (0.5–1 wk)
- Edit it yourself (CMS): included
- Product catalogue with enquiry: ₹8,000–₹20,000 (0.5–1 wk)
- WhatsApp chat button: Up to ₹2,000 (up to 1 day)
- SEO setup: ₹5,000–₹13,000 (2–4 days)
Total: ₹40,000–₹98,000 and about 4–7 weeks, inside the custom business site band. With a ready-made theme instead, the same site comes to about ₹28,000–₹65,000.
Common mistakes when budgeting
- Comparing totals, not scope. Two quotes only compare when both list the same pages, features and who writes the content.
- Counting product pages as pages. Product and blog pages come from one template. Count the template once and the products separately.
- Forgetting running costs. Domain, hosting, business email and gateway fees are separate, and upkeep is usually 15–20% of the build a year.
- Late content. Text and photos arriving late is the most common reason a website takes longer than planned.
When it's worth custom software
Once a site takes orders, gives buyers logins or talks to Tally, it is software, and it pays to scope it properly. MOMT's listed plans start at ₹1.5 lakh for custom builds and ₹2 lakh for e-commerce, with a fixed quote after a short call: see our pricing. Pricing a shop? See the e-commerce website cost page.

FAQ
Questions
How much does a website cost in India in 2026?
It depends on what the site has to do. In Surat, a basic template site of 4–6 pages typically costs ₹10,000–₹20,000 and a custom business site ₹20,000–₹80,000. Online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce start around ₹25,000–₹60,000 with a ready-made theme, while custom-coded stores and portals usually start around ₹1 lakh because they are priced by features.
How much does a landing page cost?
A single landing page costs about ₹5,000–₹12,000 with a ready-made theme, ₹12,000–₹25,000 with a custom design and ₹25,000–₹50,000 for premium work with illustration and animation. SEO setup, a booking form or online payments are added on top, each shown in the breakdown.
How long does it take to build a website?
A template site of about five pages takes 1–2 weeks once the content is ready. A custom business site takes about 3–7 weeks, an online store 2–12 weeks depending on design, platform and features, and a small portal 3–5 weeks or more. Text and photos arriving late is the most common reason a timeline slips.
Is WordPress cheaper than a custom-coded website?
To start, usually yes. Here, custom code adds ₹10,000–₹30,000 to a business website and ₹1–2 lakh to a store. It earns that back when you need fast pages, custom logic or freedom from plugin updates. WordPress suits sites your team edits often and that don't need custom features.
What costs are not included in a website quote?
Domain renewal, hosting, business email, paid themes or plugins, payment gateway fees, photography and marketing are usually separate. Plan about 15–20% of the build cost a year for maintenance: security updates, backups and small changes.
Why do quotes for the same website vary so much?
They usually cover different scopes. One assumes a template and your own text; another includes custom design, copywriting, integrations and SEO setup. Copy the breakdown from this calculator and ask each company which lines their price covers.
How much does MOMT charge for a website?
MOMT's listed plans start at ₹1.5 lakh for custom builds and ₹2 lakh for e-commerce; you get a fixed quote after a short call. WordPress, WooCommerce and smaller website projects are also quoted after a short scoping call.
