"How much does a website cost?" is like asking how much a house costs. The honest answer is: it depends on what you need it to do. This guide explains what drives the price in Pune in 2026, so you can compare quotes properly.
The three kinds of website
| Type | Typical use | What drives the cost |
|---|---|---|
| Business website | Show your services, get enquiries | Number of pages, design work, content, SEO setup |
| Ecommerce store | Sell products online | Catalogue size, payments, shipping, GST invoices, B2B features |
| Custom web app | Portals, dashboards, workflows | Features, integrations, users and data |

What actually drives the price
- Design: a ready template adapted to your brand costs less than a fully custom design.
- Content: who writes the text and provides photos? Professional copywriting and photography add cost, but they also bring enquiries.
- Number of pages and features: forms, booking, catalogues, calculators, multiple languages.
- SEO and AI-search setup: proper titles, schema, speed and question-and-answer content take time, and pay back in enquiries.
- Integrations: payments, CRM, WhatsApp, ERP or shipping.
Costs people forget
- Domain renewal every year.
- Hosting after the first year, and its quality: cheap shared hosting is often slow and less secure.
- SSL certificate (often free today, but someone must set it up and renew it).
- Backups and security updates, especially for WordPress sites with plugins.
- Content changes after launch.
Ask every vendor what is included after go-live, and what a yearly care plan costs.
How to compare quotes
Put each quote into the same table:
- Number of pages and what is on each
- Who provides the content and images
- SEO and AI-search work included (or not)
- Hosting, domain and SSL: included for how long?
- Support after launch: how long, and what it covers
- Who owns the domain, code and accounts (it should be you)
- Timeline, in writing
A cheaper quote that leaves out content, SEO or support often costs more by the end of the year.
Before you ask for a quote
Have ready: your services list, three websites you like, your logo and brand colours, photos you already have, and the one action you want visitors to take (call, WhatsApp, enquiry, buy).
