Website pricing guide

The useful price is the one attached to a defined scope.

Website estimates vary because the word ‘website’ can mean a single presentation page, a multi-page lead-generation site or an online store connected to payments and operations. Comparing quotes requires comparing what is actually being delivered.

01

Project Monet package starting points

  • Starter Website — ₹20,000: one-page presence, basic SEO and one revision round
  • Business Website — ₹35,000: up to five agreed pages, basic local SEO and two revision rounds
  • Growth Website — ₹55,000+: up to eight agreed pages, stronger search structure and three revision rounds

02

What usually changes the price

Page count matters, but two five-page websites can require very different work. A service business with supplied copy and photographs is not the same as a clinic needing professionally reviewed content or a retailer needing hundreds of products.

  • Original copywriting and content strategy
  • Number and complexity of page templates
  • Booking, payment, ecommerce or account features
  • Product, listing or portfolio data
  • Photography, video and asset preparation
  • Third-party platform integration
  • Migration from an existing website
  • Accessibility, compliance or multilingual requirements

03

Costs outside the design quote

A professional quote should distinguish the agency's work from products purchased from other companies. These costs may recur even when the website build is a one-time project.

  • Domain registration and annual renewal
  • Hosting or platform subscription
  • Business email
  • Paid plugins, apps, fonts or media
  • Payment-gateway and transaction charges
  • Ongoing maintenance, SEO or content

04

One-page, five-page and custom website costs are not interchangeable

A one-page website can cover a focused offer, proof and contact path. A five-page website usually adds distinct service, about, work and contact journeys. A custom website may require unique components, data, integrations or operational workflows.

Ask what each quoted page is responsible for and whether the price includes content preparation, responsive behaviour, forms, analytics, launch support and handover. A page total without deliverables is not a useful comparison.

05

How to compare two website proposals

  • Check the exact pages and features
  • Confirm who writes and uploads content
  • Count revision rounds and define what a revision means
  • Identify all recurring costs
  • Ask who controls the domain, hosting and accounts
  • Confirm what is handed over after final payment
  • Look for exclusions instead of relying on a headline total

06

When the cheapest quote becomes expensive

A low price can be reasonable for a limited scope. It becomes costly when the business later discovers that it cannot edit the website, does not control the domain, must pay to leave the provider or needs the entire site rebuilt to add a basic function. Ownership and technical fit are part of the value, not administrative details.

Questions

What business owners usually ask

Is ₹20,000 the final price for every one-page website?+

No. It is the Starter package price for its defined scope. Custom animation, copywriting, integrations, ecommerce and other additions can change the quote.

Is hosting included in the website price?+

No. Hosting, domain, paid tools and maintenance are charged separately unless a written proposal specifically includes an item.

Why does ecommerce cost more?+

A store adds product data, inventory, payments, shipping, returns, customer communication and security-sensitive workflows. It is operational software as well as a marketing website.

How are payments split?+

Project Monet normally requires 50% advance to begin the paid build and the remaining 50% before launch and handover.

How much does a one-page website cost in India?+

Project Monet's focused one-page Starter Website begins at ₹20,000. Other providers may define a one-page scope differently, so compare design, content, integrations, revisions, ownership and recurring costs rather than the headline amount alone.
