A website is not a visiting card — it is your hardest-working employee, answering customers at midnight on a 4G phone. This page explains what good web development actually means and what it should cost.
The packages, plainly
Launch Pad — ₹14,999 one-time: starter site up to five pages, local SEO foundation, Google Business Profile, WhatsApp CTA. Growth Engine — ₹24,999: adds a CMS so you edit content yourself, schema and speed optimisation, Instagram starter kit. Local Leader — ₹39,999: adds content blogs, reels start, dedicated GBP management, VoIP call answering. Market Leader — ₹69,999: the full stack with video, drone and multi-city SEO.
Every tier includes mobile-first build, sub-2s target, tracking, and ownership of everything. Ad spend, if you run ads later, is always separate and always yours.
What drives the price up — honestly
Three things legitimately add cost: custom functionality (booking systems, payment flows, portals), content production (photography, video, copywriting at volume), and multi-location or multi-language scope. Everything else is usually padding.
If a quote climbs without touching those three, ask what the extra rupees are doing. 'Premium design' is not an answer if the site still loads in six seconds.
The hidden costs nobody quotes you
Domain (₹800-1,500/year), hosting (₹2,000-8,000/year for managed), and maintenance — updates, backups, small edits. Some agencies hide fat margins here; some lure with free hosting and own your site forever.
We quote these at cost, in your accounts, before you commit. The number that matters is total cost of ownership over three years, not the launch invoice.
What the website must do before launch
Our launch checklist: tracking live (analytics, WhatsApp clicks, calls), GBP linked, sitemap submitted, schema in place, every form tested on a real phone, 404s handled, and a speed report you can verify yourself on your own phone.
You see that checklist ticked before we call it live. A launch without tracking is a shop without a till.
Frequently asked questions
Why do website quotes range from ₹5,000 to ₹5,00,000?
Because 'website' can mean a template with your logo pasted on, or a custom system with booking and payments. The honest question is not the price — it is what the site will do: load in two seconds, rank locally, convert to WhatsApp, and stay yours. Ask for that list itemised.
Are there yearly costs after the build?
Yes, and they should be quoted upfront: domain ₹800-1,500/year, hosting ₹2,000-8,000/year, and optional maintenance. Ours are billed at cost into your own accounts — you can leave anytime, which is exactly why you will not want to.
