A business website in India costs very different amounts depending on pages, design depth and features. At Dexon Sync, a landing page starts from $3,500, a 3 to 5 page website from $5,500 and a 10 page or larger website from $9,000, quoted in rupees plus 18% GST for Indian clients. Hosting, domain and content are usually extra.
Search for website prices and you will find quotes that differ widely for what looks like the same thing. Often the quotes cover different work. This post explains what moves the price, shows our own starting prices so you have one real reference, and gives you a way to compare quotes fairly.
01. What are typical starting prices?
These are the starting prices on our pricing page. Your quote is written after a call.
| Project | Starting price (USD) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page, designed and built | $3,500 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Website, 3 to 5 pages | $5,500 | 3 to 4 weeks |
| Website, 10 or more pages | $9,000 | 5 to 7 weeks |
| Online store | Quoted after a call | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Web app or portal | Quoted after a call | 6 to 16 weeks |
We price in US dollars. Clients in India are quoted in rupees, plus 18% GST. GST is not charged on services exported to clients outside India.
02. What makes a website cost more?
- Scope. Ten pages cost more than three, and each page needs content.
- Complexity. Bookings, logins, payments and connections to other tools add build time.
- Design depth. A custom design with animation takes longer than a clean layout.
- Platform. A site your team edits in WordPress or Webflow is built differently from one coded in Next.js.
- Timeline. Rush work carries a 25% fee at our end, stated up front.
03. What is usually not in the price?
Stock photos, paid fonts, software subscriptions, hosting, domains and written content are left out unless the scope says otherwise. The proposal should list everything, line by line. If a quote does not say whether copywriting or hosting is included, ask.
04. What do you pay after launch?
A website has running costs: hosting, a domain renewal, any paid plugins or tools, and some time for updates. These depend on the platform you choose, which is why we explain the monthly running cost of each option on the call. A monthly care plan covers updates, fixes and small changes if you would rather not do them yourself.
05. How do you compare two quotes fairly?
Put the quotes side by side and check:
- How many pages and what each one contains.
- How many design concepts and revision rounds are included.
- Who writes the content, and who supplies photos.
- Whether redirects, speed checks and basic search setup are included.
- Whether you own the files, hosting and domain at the end.
- What support follows launch, and for how long.
- How payments are split.
A much lower quote usually leaves one of these out. We will not match a cheaper price, but we will show you what we would remove to reach it.
06. How can you keep the cost sensible?
- Start with the pages that earn enquiries and add more later.
- Supply your own text and photos if you have good ones.
- Choose a platform your team can edit without a developer.
- Avoid rush deadlines.
- Agree the scope in writing, and have changes quoted before they are added.
