Website Design Cost in Mumbai (2026 Price Guide)
In 2026, website design in Mumbai costs ₹18,000 – ₹28,000 for a 3–5 page starter site, ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 for a 5–10 page business website, ₹75,000 – ₹1,50,000 for a fully custom design build, and ₹1,20,000 – ₹3,50,000 for an eCommerce store. A single landing page starts at ₹12,000. All figures exclude GST, domain and hosting.
Those are our published rates, not an average scraped from somewhere. Most Mumbai agencies will not put a number on a page, which makes comparison shopping unnecessarily hard. This page gives you the full breakdown: what drives the price up or down, what the first year actually costs once hosting and maintenance are counted, and three worked budgets you can measure your own quote against.
Key takeaways
- The build fee is not the cost. Add domain, hosting, SSL, business email and a care plan and a ₹40,000 website has a first-year cost closer to ₹55,000 – ₹70,000. Budget for the total, not the invoice.
- Page count is the weakest predictor of price. Custom design, original copywriting and integrations move a quote far more than adding three more pages.
- Mumbai quotes vary 10x for the same brief largely because of who is paying for a Lower Parel or BKC office, and whether the work is subcontracted.
- Below roughly ₹15,000 you are buying a theme demo, not a website. Buy one well-built landing page instead and grow into a full site.
- Content is the usual delay, not development. Sites slip because photos, product data and approvals arrive late.

| Business website | Most Mumbai SMEs — traders, manufacturers, service firms, real estate, agencies | 5–10 | ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 | 2–3 weeks |
| Custom design build | Brands where the site is the primary sales asset and the design cannot look like a template | 8–15 | ₹75,000 – ₹1,50,000 | 3–5 weeks |
| eCommerce store | Retailers, wholesalers and D2C brands selling online | 10–25+ | ₹1,20,000 – ₹3,50,000 | 5–8 weeks |
| Landing page | Google Ads and Meta Ads traffic, single-offer campaigns | 1 | ₹12,000 – ₹25,000 | 3–5 days |

Every one of those builds includes, at no extra charge: a mobile-first responsive layout, Core Web Vitals speed work (WebP images, lazy loading, caching), an on-page SEO foundation (one H1 per page, mapped titles and meta descriptions, alt text, internal links, clean URLs), XML sitemap plus Search Console and GA4 setup, SSL, a contact form, WhatsApp click-to-chat, a Google Maps embed, schema markup, 30 days of post-launch support, and full ownership of the domain, hosting and code handed over to you.
What actually drives the price
If two quotes for “a 10-page website” differ by ₹80,000, the difference is almost never the page count. It is in this table. The deltas are indicative ranges for planning, not a menu — the real number depends on your specific brief.
| Variable | Effect on the quote | Indicative delta |
|---|---|---|
| Template vs custom design | The single biggest lever. A configured premium theme versus original layouts designed for your content. | +₹25,000 – ₹80,000 |
| Copywriting | You supply the text, or we research and write it. Most delays and most weak sites trace back to this. | +₹1,200 – ₹3,000 per page |
| Photography | Stock, your own images, or a shoot. A Mumbai product or premises shoot is a separate vendor cost. | +₹8,000 – ₹40,000 |
| Extra pages beyond scope | Cheap once the design system exists. This is why buying too few pages is a false economy. | +₹1,500 – ₹4,000 per page |
| Additional language (Hindi / Marathi) | Needs indexable URLs and hreflang, plus translation and ongoing double maintenance. | +40 – 70% of build |
| eCommerce catalogue size | Up to ~50 SKUs is routine. Beyond a few hundred, data structuring dominates the project. | +₹15,000 – ₹1,00,000 |
| Payment gateway + GST setup | Gateway integration, HSN-wise tax classes, compliant invoices. | +₹8,000 – ₹20,000 |
| Shipping / logistics integration | Aggregator API, pincode serviceability, weight-and-zone rate tables, COD handling. | +₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
| CRM or ERP integration | Pushing leads or orders into Zoho, Salesforce, Tally or a custom ERP. Cost tracks the quality of their API. | +₹15,000 – ₹90,000 |
| Booking / appointment system | Clinics, salons, coaching. Slot logic and reminders, not just a form. | +₹12,000 – ₹35,000 |
| Login area or customer dashboard | Crosses from website into application territory. Scope this separately. | +₹40,000 upwards |
| Multi-vendor marketplace | A different category of project. Vendor onboarding, split payouts, commissions, disputes. | ₹4,00,000 upwards |
| Migration from an old site | URL mapping and 301s to protect existing rankings. Skipping it is what causes traffic loss. | +₹8,000 – ₹30,000 |
Ranked: what changes a quote the most
- Custom design versus a configured theme.
- Who writes the content.
- Whether money changes hands on the site (gateway, tax, shipping, order flow).
- Integrations with systems you already run.
- Number of languages.
- Page count — genuinely last.

Your real first-year cost
The build fee is one line on a longer bill. This is what a Mumbai business should actually budget for year one on a mid-range business website.
| Line item | Year 1 | Recurring | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design and build | ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 | — | One-off. Business website package. |
| Domain | ₹800 – ₹1,200 | yearly | Register it in your own name. Non-negotiable. |
| Hosting | ₹3,000 – ₹12,000 | yearly | Business site. A store needs more. |
| SSL certificate | ₹0 | yearly | Let’s Encrypt is free and fine. Do not pay for a basic certificate. |
| Business email | ₹0 – ₹1,800 per user | yearly | Many hosts include mailboxes; Google Workspace costs more and is worth it if email matters. |
| Care plan / AMC | ₹18,000 – ₹72,000 | monthly | Optional but the cheapest insurance you will buy. |
| Content and photography | ₹0 – ₹40,000 | — | Zero only if you genuinely supply finished copy and usable images. |
| SEO or ads (optional) | separate | monthly | A website does not generate traffic by existing. |
| Realistic year-one total | ₹52,000 – ₹1,20,000 | — | Excludes GST and any advertising spend. |
The ₹5,000 website. You will see these on Justdial and Instagram. It is almost always a free theme demo with your logo dropped in — no content structure, no schema, no speed work, and frequently the domain and hosting registered in the vendor’s own account, which means you cannot leave. Businesses come to us to rebuild these six to twelve months later and the rebuild costs more than doing it properly would have, because content, links and whatever rankings exist all have to be migrated. If your budget genuinely is under ₹15,000 today, buy one well-built landing page and grow into a full site.
“Unlimited revisions” is a warning, not a benefit. No profitable studio can offer it, so either it is not real, or the price already contains a large padding buffer, or the process has no defined stages. What you actually want is a specific number of review rounds at named milestones — typically two rounds on design and two on build — with a stated hourly or per-round rate beyond that. Bounded revisions get projects finished. Unlimited ones get them abandoned.

Why Mumbai quotes vary so wildly
The same brief will come back at ₹25,000 from one vendor and ₹2,50,000 from another. Both can be honest quotes. The spread comes from four things:
Overheads are in the price
A studio with a Lower Parel or BKC address is paying some of Mumbai’s highest commercial rents, and that flows into project fees. Sometimes you are buying real senior attention. Sometimes you are buying the rent.
Subcontracting
A meaningful share of Mumbai agency work is passed to freelancers. That is not wrong in itself, but you should know whether the person you met will do the work, and what the margin is buying you in project management.
Template resale
At the bottom of the market the same purchased theme is sold repeatedly at a “custom design” price. Ask directly whether the design is original, and ask to see three recent sites.
What is silently excluded
Cheap quotes often exclude content, images, SEO setup, migration, training and post-launch support. Read what is not in the scope; that is where the two numbers reconcile.
How to read a quote critically
- Is there a page-by-page deliverable list, or just a total?
- Who supplies copy and images, in writing?
- How many revision rounds, at which milestones?
- Will the domain, hosting and source code be in your name at handover?
- Is the timeline conditional on your inputs, and are those inputs listed?
- Is on-page SEO in scope, or an upsell after launch?
- What happens if you leave? Ask before you sign, not after.
Freelancer vs agency vs DIY
| Typical price | Timeline | Ongoing support | Main risk | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DIY builder | ₹6,000 – ₹20,000 / year | a weekend to never | you | Your time, and platform lock-in that makes leaving expensive. |
| Freelancer | ₹10,000 – ₹50,000 | 2–6 weeks, variable | one person’s availability | Continuity. Excellent value when you find a good one; hard to recover when they go quiet. |
| Mumbai-based agency | ₹60,000 – ₹5,00,000+ | 4–10 weeks | contracted, team-based | Paying for overheads and account layers you may not need. |
| Remote India agency | ₹18,000 – ₹3,50,000 | 1–8 weeks | contracted, team-based | No in-person meetings; you need a vendor who is genuinely responsive remotely. |
We are the fourth row, and we will say so plainly: Amezing Tech is based in Satara and Pune, and we serve Mumbai clients remotely over calls, WhatsApp and screen shares. You are not paying for a Mumbai office inside your project fee. If you specifically need someone in the room every fortnight, hire locally — that is a legitimate requirement and we would rather say so than sell you something that will frustrate you.
Payment terms and scope
Sane engagement terms protect both sides. Ours, and what you should expect from anyone:
- Staged payments tied to milestones: roughly 40% to start and lock the schedule, 40% at design approval, 20% at launch. An advance above 50% on a first project with a new vendor is worth questioning.
- A written scope before any money moves, listing every page, every integration, the revision rounds, the timeline with your dependencies named, and the ownership clause.
- Scope changes get a written change note with a price and a revised date, agreed before work starts. Verbal additions are how projects rot.
- A content deadline in the scope. If copy and images arrive three weeks late, the launch date moves — that should be stated up front rather than argued about later.
- Handover in your name: domain registrar, hosting account, WordPress admin, and a full backup. If a vendor resists this, stop.
When paying a Mumbai premium is worth it
There are real cases where a Mumbai-based vendor earns the difference, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest:
- Regular in-person workshops. Some brand and UX work genuinely goes faster around a table, particularly with a large internal stakeholder group.
- On-site photography and video. If the site depends on shooting your premises, products or team, someone has to be physically there. We would coordinate a local shooter; a Mumbai studio may already have one in-house.
- Procurement requirements. Larger corporates and some BKC financial firms have vendor policies that effectively require a local registered presence, or on-site sign-off.
- Highly regulated content. Where compliance review has to happen face to face with a legal team, proximity helps.
Outside those cases, the premium mostly buys geography. A well-run remote engagement with a fixed scope, staged payments and scheduled reviews delivers the same website.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Mumbai in 2026?
₹18,000 – ₹28,000 for a 3–5 page starter site, ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 for a 5–10 page business website, ₹75,000 – ₹1,50,000 for a custom design build, and ₹1,20,000 – ₹3,50,000 for eCommerce. A single landing page starts at ₹12,000. All excluding GST, domain and hosting.
What is the cheapest realistic website for a small Mumbai business?
A ₹18,000 starter site of 3–5 pages, or a ₹12,000 single landing page if you only need one offer online. Below that you are buying a theme demo. If ₹18,000 is out of reach this quarter, the landing page is the better use of the money because it can be built properly and expanded later.
Why do Mumbai web design quotes differ by ten times for the same brief?
Four reasons: office overheads priced into fees, whether the work is subcontracted to freelancers, whether the “custom” design is actually a resold theme, and what has been silently excluded from the cheap quote — usually content, images, SEO setup and migration. Compare scopes line by line, not totals.
Does the price include content writing?
Only if the scope says so. Our packages assume you supply the copy; we write it for ₹1,200 – ₹3,000 per page depending on research depth. Be honest with yourself about whether you will actually write it — unwritten content is the single most common cause of a stalled website project.
What are the ongoing costs after launch?
Domain ₹800 – ₹1,200 a year, hosting ₹3,000 – ₹12,000 a year for a business site, SSL free via Let’s Encrypt, business email ₹0 – ₹1,800 per user a year, and an optional care plan at ₹1,500 – ₹6,000 a month. A store adds gateway transaction fees and higher hosting.
Is GST charged on website design in India?
Yes. Website design and development is a taxable service and GST applies on top of the quoted fee. All prices on this page are ex-GST. If you are GST-registered you can generally claim input credit — confirm with your CA, since that depends on your registration and use of the service.
How long does a website take to build?
7–10 days for a starter site, 2–3 weeks for a business website, 3–5 weeks for a custom build, and 5–8 weeks for eCommerce. Those timelines assume content and approvals arrive on schedule; in practice the client side is what usually moves the date.
What advance payment is normal?
40% to start, 40% at design approval, 20% at launch is a fair structure. Anything above 50% up front on a first engagement deserves a question, and 100% in advance is not a normal request for a project of this size.
How much does an eCommerce website cost in Mumbai?
₹1,20,000 – ₹3,50,000 depending on catalogue size, platform, and how many integrations you need. Payment gateway and GST configuration adds ₹8,000 – ₹20,000, shipping aggregator integration ₹10,000 – ₹25,000. Budget separately for product photography and recurring gateway fees.
Is a custom design worth the extra ₹50,000?
It is worth it when the website is your primary sales asset and a templated look would undercut your pricing — premium brands, design-led services, anything where the site is the pitch. For a local clinic, trader or service firm whose buyers care about credibility and a phone number, a well-configured theme with original content performs just as well.
Do I need to pay extra for SEO?
Not for the on-page foundation. Correct titles and meta descriptions, one H1 per page, heading structure, alt text, internal links, clean URLs, schema, sitemap and Search Console setup are included in every build. Ongoing SEO — content production, link building, technical work over months — is a separate retainer, because it is a separate job.
What does a website maintenance plan actually do?
WordPress core, theme and plugin updates tested on staging before going live, off-server backups, uptime monitoring, malware scanning, form-spam control, and small content edits. ₹1,500 – ₹6,000 a month depending on site size. It exists because an unmaintained WordPress install eventually gets compromised, and cleanup costs more than a year of the plan.
Will I own the website and the hosting?
Yes, entirely. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, you get WordPress admin credentials and a full backup, and there is no licence you have to keep paying us to use. Any vendor unwilling to put that in writing is telling you something important.
Can you work with a business in Mumbai from outside the city?
Yes, and it is how we work with every Mumbai client. Discovery and review calls are scheduled, day-to-day questions go over WhatsApp, design reviews happen on screen shares against a live staging link, and assets move through a shared folder. What we cannot do is sit in your office every fortnight — if that is a requirement, hire locally.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Design decides what the site looks like and how a visitor moves through it. Development builds it so it works, loads fast and can be edited. Our quotes cover both, which is why a “design-only” quote from elsewhere can look cheaper — check whether the build is included before comparing.
How many pages does my business actually need?
Most Mumbai SMEs need five to eight: home, about, one page per major service, contact, and often a location or coverage page. One strong page per service beats a single page listing all of them, because each can then rank for its own search. Adding pages later is cheap once the design system exists.
Should I choose WordPress or Shopify?
Shopify if selling products is the entire business and you want the operational side handled for a monthly fee. WordPress with WooCommerce if you need content and commerce together, want more control over cost structure, or expect unusual requirements. For a non-selling business site, WordPress almost always.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — the standard structure is three milestone payments. For larger eCommerce builds we split across four or five milestones tied to phases such as catalogue setup, checkout and go-live, so payment tracks visible progress.
