What drives the number up or down
Page count matters less than page variety. Ten pages that share one template is a small build; six pages with six bespoke layouts is a large one. Other real cost drivers: multilingual content, product catalogue size, integrations (CRM, payments, ERP), animation depth, and whether the copy is written from scratch or supplied.
Budget for performance and search from day one
Retro-fitting Core Web Vitals, structured data and clean URL architecture after launch usually costs more than including it. A site that loads under 2.5 seconds on mobile, ships server-rendered content, and carries correct Organization, Service and FAQ schema is standard practice in 2026 — not a premium add-on.

The ongoing cost nobody quotes
Plan ₹5,000 – ₹25,000 per month for hosting, backups, security patches, small content updates and periodic CRO changes. A website is an operating asset, not a one-time project.

How long does a website take to build?

Is WordPress or a custom build better?
WordPress suits content-led sites with frequent editing. Custom builds win when performance, integrations or bespoke interaction matter more than editor convenience.
