How Much Does a Website Cost in Bangalore in 2026?
“How much for a website?” is the first question every business owner asks — and the honest answer is: it depends on what you’re actually building. In Bangalore in 2026, website costs range from around ₹15,000 for a simple landing page to ₹10,00,000+ for advanced custom platforms. Most professional business websites land between ₹40,000 and ₹2,00,000. Here’s where the money actually goes.
Cost by website type
| Website type | Typical cost (₹) |
|---|---|
| Landing page / basic static (1–3 pages) | 15,000 – 30,000 |
| Small-business website (5–10 pages) | 40,000 – 90,000 |
| Standard business site (10–15 pages, CMS, blog) | 80,000 – 2,00,000 |
| E-commerce store (WooCommerce / Shopify) | 75,000 – 3,00,000+ |
| Custom web application | 5,00,000 – 20,00,000+ |
For most Bengaluru SMBs, the realistic range for a professionally built, mobile-responsive, SEO-ready site is ₹80,000 to ₹2,00,000. Anything far below that is usually a template install with limited customisation — fine for some, but rarely built to rank or convert.
What actually drives the price
- Number of pages & content — more pages mean more design, copy and testing. Content writing itself can add ₹10,000–₹50,000.
- Design complexity — a semi-custom template is cheaper than a fully bespoke, branded design.
- Functionality — logins, bookings, payments and integrations each add scope.
- Platform — WordPress typically costs 50–70% less than an equivalent custom build.
- Team — freelancers are cheaper up front; agencies bundle reliability, support and strategy.
WordPress vs custom — the short version
WordPress powers roughly 43% of the web and is the most cost-effective choice for content-driven business sites. Choose custom (React, Node, Laravel) only when you genuinely need logins, complex logic, or heavy integrations a CMS can’t handle cleanly.
Freelancer vs agency in Bangalore
A freelancer might quote ₹15,000–₹80,000 for a full small-business site. An agency charges more but generally includes design, content, SEO setup, testing and post-launch support. Indian agencies bill roughly $25–$60/hour blended across a team — a fraction of the $80–$180/hour equivalent Western teams charge, which is why so much global web work comes to Bengaluru in the first place.
The recurring costs people forget
- Domain — ₹800–₹1,500/year (a .in or .com).
- Hosting — ₹3,000–₹15,000/year for a business site; more for high traffic or cloud.
- Maintenance — typically 15–20% of the build cost per year for updates, backups and security.
- SEO & content — a website is the start, not the finish; ranking it is a separate, ongoing investment.
The cheapest website is rarely the most affordable one. A ₹20,000 site that never ranks or converts costs you every lead it fails to capture.
How to get the best value
Start with a clear list of what you actually need versus nice-to-haves. Consider an MVP you can grow into. Insist on mobile-first, fast loading, proper schema and SEO-ready structure from day one — retrofitting these later costs far more than building them in. And make sure your domain, hosting and code stay in your own name.
