One of the most common questions we get from small business owners in Ahmedabad and across India is: "How much does a website actually cost?" The honest answer is - it depends. But that's not helpful, so let's break it down by what you actually get at each price point.
₹1,000 - Website audit & consulting
If you already have a website but suspect it's underperforming, a professional audit is the smartest first investment. At JAEConsulting, a full website audit covers performance, SEO, UI/UX, and accessibility - with a detailed action plan. This is the lowest-risk way to find out exactly what's holding your site back before spending on a full rebuild.
₹5,000-₹15,000 - Small business website (most common)
This is the sweet spot for most small businesses in India. At this range you should expect: a custom responsive design (not a generic template), mobile-first development, basic SEO structure (meta tags, fast load times, clean HTML), contact forms, and post-launch support. At JAEConsulting, our Website Building package starts at ₹5,000 and covers all of these fundamentals.
₹15,000-₹35,000 - Multi-page business site with CMS
Businesses with multiple services, locations, or content needs typically fall here. This range adds a content management system (so you can update pages without a developer), blog functionality, Google Analytics integration, deeper SEO optimisation, and more complex page layouts.
₹35,000-₹1,00,000+ - E-commerce websites
Selling products online adds significant complexity: product catalogues, payment gateway integration (Razorpay, PayU, CCAvenue), inventory management, order tracking, and mobile-optimised checkout flows. For Indian e-commerce, expect to budget for payment gateway setup fees on top of the build cost.
What drives price up?
The biggest cost drivers are: number of unique page designs, custom functionality (calculators, booking systems, membership portals), content creation (copywriting, photography), ongoing maintenance, and how fast you need it. Being clear about your must-haves versus nice-to-haves before your first call with an agency will save you money.
