“Website banane ka kharcha kitna hai?” is the first question most business owners ask. The honest answer: it depends on what the website must do. This guide explains what changes the price, what you should get for your money, and the hidden costs to watch out for.
Page Contents
What decides the cost of a website
- Number of pages – a 5-page business site costs less than a 30-page company website.
- Custom design vs template – a design made for your brand takes more time than a ready template.
- Features – booking forms, payments, login, multi-language or product catalogues add work.
- Content – writing text and editing photos is extra work if the developer does it.
- E-commerce – online stores need cart, payment gateway, shipping and order management.
- SEO and Google setup – basic SEO and Google Business Profile setup help you get found.

Yearly costs you should plan for
- Domain name – renews every year.
- Hosting – renews every year; cheap hosting can make your site slow.
- Business email – optional, but looks more professional than Gmail.
- Maintenance – plugin updates, backups and small changes.
Hidden costs to watch out for
- Domain or hosting registered in the developer’s name instead of yours
- “Free website” offers that lock you into expensive monthly plans
- Extra charges for every small text change
- No written quote, so the price keeps changing
How to choose the right developer
- Ask to see live websites they built, and open them on your phone
- Get a written quote with exact pages, features and timeline
- Pay in parts – for example 50% to start and 50% after approval
- Make sure domain, hosting and code are in your name
