It's the first question almost every business owner asks us: "How much will my website cost?" The honest answer is — it depends on what you need. But "it depends" doesn't help you budget, so below we break down real 2026 price ranges for websites in Kolkata, what drives the cost up or down, and how to avoid overpaying.
Website cost in Kolkata: quick price ranges (2026)
Here's what businesses typically pay in Kolkata this year, depending on the type of website:
| Type of Website | Typical Price (₹) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Basic business / landing site (3–5 pages) | ₹12,000 – ₹30,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Standard business website (8–15 pages) | ₹30,000 – ₹75,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| E-commerce store (WooCommerce / Shopify) | ₹60,000 – ₹2,00,000 | 3–8 weeks |
| Custom web application / SaaS | ₹2,00,000 – ₹10,00,000+ | 8–20+ weeks |
Prices are indicative for 2026 and vary by agency, features and complexity. They exclude ongoing costs like hosting and domain (below).
What actually drives the price?
Five factors decide where your project lands in those ranges:
- Number of pages & content — more pages, more design and copywriting.
- Custom design vs template — a bespoke website design costs more than a theme but stands out.
- Functionality — booking systems, payments, logins and dashboards add development time.
- WordPress vs custom code — see our web development services for both.
- SEO & integrations — analytics, CRMs and digital marketing setup.
Don't forget the recurring costs
A website isn't a one-time spend. Budget for these every year:
- Domain name — ₹800 – ₹1,500 / year
- Hosting — ₹3,000 – ₹15,000 / year (more for high traffic)
- Maintenance & updates — optional, or covered by our IT support & managed services
How to avoid overpaying
Get a written, itemised quote. Be wary of prices that seem too cheap — they often skip mobile optimisation, SEO basics or security, which costs more to fix later. And make sure you own your website and domain, not the agency.
In short: Most small businesses in Kolkata spend ₹30,000–₹75,000 for a professional website. Spend less for a simple presence; invest more if you need e-commerce or custom features.
