What Does a Website Actually Cost in Bengaluru in 2026?

Ask five agencies what a website costs and you will get five numbers between ₹8,000 and ₹8,00,000. That is not because four of them are lying. It is because "a website" describes a business card and a booking platform equally well.

Here is what the ranges actually mean.

₹8,000 – ₹25,000: a template, filled in

Someone installs a WordPress theme, replaces the demo text with yours, and hands it over. For a business that just needs to exist on Google and show an address, this is genuinely fine, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.

What you should expect to give up: it will look like the other four hundred businesses using that theme, it will be slow because the theme loads everything, and structural changes later will cost more than the site did.

₹25,000 – ₹75,000: a real small-business website

Custom design against your brand, five to ten pages, written for your customers, fast on mobile, and set up so you can edit your own content. This is the range most Bengaluru SMBs should be in.

At this level you should be getting: a design nobody else has, working forms that reach your inbox, Google Business Profile connected, basic SEO in place, and the ability to change your own text.

₹75,000 – ₹2,50,000: e-commerce, or a site that does work

Payments, inventory, logins, bookings, integrations with software you already run. The price is driven almost entirely by how many things the site has to *do*, not how many pages it has.

₹2,50,000+: custom applications

At this point you are not buying a website, you are buying software. Different conversation, different process.

What actually drives the number up

In rough order of impact:

1. **Custom functionality.** Every "can it also…" is engineering time. 2. **Number of unique page designs.** Twenty pages using three layouts is cheap. Six pages each designed differently is not. 3. **Content.** If you need someone to write it and shoot photos, that is a real cost, often ₹15,000–₹50,000 on its own. 4. **Integrations.** Payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs — each one is a small project. 5. **Revisions.** Unlimited-revisions offers are priced with that assumption baked in. You are paying for it either way.

Three quotes to walk away from

**The quote with no scope attached.** A single number with no list of what it includes is not a quote, it is a hostage negotiation that starts after you pay the advance.

**The quote that is a tenth of everyone else's.** Somebody is either about to disappear, or about to hand you a template while charging you for custom work, or is going to make it back on "maintenance".

**The quote where you do not own anything at the end.** If the domain, hosting, and code are not in your name, you are renting your own business's front door. Ask directly: *when this is finished, whose name is on the domain registration?* The answer tells you most of what you need to know.

What to ask before you sign

- What exactly is included, listed out, and what costs extra? - Who owns the domain, the hosting account, and the code? - Can I edit my own content, and will you show me how? - What happens if I want to leave — do I get everything? - Who fixes it if it breaks in six months, and what does that cost?

Any developer worth hiring will answer all five without hedging — and will give you a straight number early, rather than after three meetings. If a quote does not work for you, both sides would rather find out in the first conversation than the third.
