Quick answer: In Pune, a simple business website usually costs ₹15,000 to ₹50,000. A bigger business website with more pages and SEO costs ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000. An online store usually starts around ₹50,000, and custom software or a web app starts around ₹1,50,000. You also pay a small yearly amount for your domain and hosting.
Asking “how much does a website cost?” is a bit like asking “how much does a house cost?” It depends on the size, what is inside, and who builds it. This guide explains it in plain words so you can plan your budget without confusion.
Typical website prices in Pune
These are common price ranges we see in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC) in 2026. Prices from other agencies can be higher or lower.
| Type of website | What you get | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter website | 4–6 pages, contact form, WhatsApp button, mobile friendly | ₹15,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Business website | 8–20 pages, service pages, blog, basic SEO, fast speed | ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| Online store | Product pages, cart, online payment, order emails | ₹50,000 – ₹2,00,000+ |
| Web app or software | Billing, stock, bookings, dashboards, logins | ₹1,50,000+ |
What makes the price go up or down?
1. Number of pages
Every page needs design, writing and testing. A 5-page site costs less than a 25-page site. Tip: one page for each service helps you show up on Google, so it is often worth it.
2. Custom design or a template
A ready-made template is cheaper. A custom design made for your brand costs more, but it looks unique and usually brings more enquiries.
3. Online payments and products
An online store needs product pages, a cart, payment gateway setup (like Razorpay or PayU), shipping rules and GST settings. More products and more options mean more work.
4. Writing and photos
If you give the text and photos, the price is lower. If the agency writes SEO-friendly text for you, it takes more time.
5. Special features
Booking forms, member logins, multi-language, or connecting to your billing software all add to the cost.
Yearly costs you should know
A website is not a one-time cost. Plan for these every year:
- Domain name (like yourbusiness.in or .com): roughly ₹500 – ₹1,500 per year
- Hosting (the computer that keeps your site online): roughly ₹2,000 – ₹10,000 per year for most small businesses
- Maintenance (updates, backups, security): optional, but very useful — see our website maintenance service
- Paid plugins (only if needed): some forms, SEO or security tools have yearly fees
Cheap website vs good website
A ₹5,000 website may look fine on day one. But many cheap sites are slow, break on phones, and never show up on Google. A website is like a shop board that works 24 hours a day. If nobody can find it, or it loads slowly, people call your competitor instead.
A good website should:
- Load fast on a phone (under 3 seconds)
- Show clearly what you do and where you are
- Have a big, easy “Call” or “WhatsApp” button
- Have one page for each service, so Google can find you for each one
- Be easy for you to edit later
Real examples from Pune businesses
- An interior designer in Pune needed a portfolio to show finished rooms — see Spacewell Interior.
- A real estate builder needed enquiries for new projects — see Riswadkar Developers.
- A clothing brand needed an online store that sells to the UK and India — see Notsil Activeware.
Each of these had a different budget because each needed different things.
How to get the best value
- Write down what you need. Pages, services, and features like booking or payments.
- Ask for a fixed quote. Avoid “per hour” pricing for small websites.
- Ask who owns the website. You should own your domain, hosting and all content.
- Check their past work. Open their live websites on your phone.
- Ask about speed and SEO. A fast, SEO-ready site saves you money on ads later.
