What drives the cost?

Here are the main factors that determine how much a website design will cost:

  • Scope / Size: Number of pages, content, complexity
  • Design Type: Template‑based vs fully custom design
  • Features / Functionality: E‑commerce, user login, APIs, forms, search, booking, etc.
  • Technology / Platform: WordPress, Shopify, custom code, CMS, frameworks
  • Responsiveness / Mobile Design: Making it work across devices adds work
  • SEO, Content & Graphics: Copywriting, images, videos, graphic assets
  • Maintenance / Support: Updates, hosting, security, bug fixes
  • Developer / Agency Rates & Location: Local vs offshore, freelancer vs agency, experience

Typical price ranges (with examples)

Here are rough estimates to give you an idea. (These are typical ranges, not guarantees.)

In India

  • Basic website / brochure site (few pages, simple features): ₹5,000 – ₹20,000
  • Standard small business site (custom design + CMS, more pages): ₹20,000 – ₹50,000+
  • E‑commerce / online store: ₹50,000 – ₹200,000+
  • Fully custom, feature rich / enterprise level: ₹1,50,000+

For example, Forbes Advisor (India) gives ranges like:

  • Small business website (up to ~16 pages): ₹15,000 – ₹70,000
  • E‑commerce sites: ₹40,000 – ₹4,50,000

Also, many Indian agencies say fully custom UI/UX design often starts around ₹75,000 and upward.

In international / general (USD)

  • Simple / template‑based site: US$500 – US$5,000
  • Custom small business site: US$3,000 – US$10,000+
  • E‑commerce / complex sites: US$10,000 – US$50,000+
  • Enterprise / web application / large scale: US$50,000+

WebFX also mentions that in 2025, web design costs typically range from $1,000 to $100,000 depending on scope.

What you should do to get your own estimate

To find out what your specific website would cost, you should:

  1. List the features you need (e.g. number of pages, e‑commerce, contact forms, user login, blog, integrations).

  2. Decide how custom it should be (template vs fully custom).

  3. Get quotes from local freelancers / agencies — share your requirement spec.

  4. Ask for breakdowns (design, development, content, maintenance).

  5. Check portfolios — quality matters, not just lowest cost.

  6. Plan for ongoing costs (hosting, domain, updates, security).
