The Reality of Website Pricing in Hyderabad
Ask five agencies for a website quote in Hyderabad and you will get five wildly different numbers — from ₹5,000 to ₹5,00,000 for what sounds like the same project. This gap is not random; it reflects fundamentally different things being sold. This guide helps you understand exactly what drives those numbers so you can make a smart decision for your business.
Average Website Costs in Hyderabad by Category (2026)
Simple Landing Pages — ₹12,000 to ₹25,000
A single-page site with a hero section, features/benefits, testimonials, and a contact form. Ideal for freelancers, event promotions, or validating a business idea quickly. At this price point you should expect a template-based approach, basic on-page SEO, and mobile responsiveness. Build time is typically one to two weeks.
What to watch for: Many agencies in this range use ₹99/year website builders and charge you setup fees. You end up paying monthly forever and owning nothing. Ask specifically whether you get full source code or just login credentials to a hosted platform.
Corporate Business Websites — ₹25,000 to ₹70,000
A five to ten page site covering Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Blog, and Contact. Custom design, a content management system so your team can update content without a developer, and proper SEO foundations. At DevXAI Technologies this is our most common engagement for local Hyderabad businesses entering the digital market. Typical timeline: three to five weeks.
What you get: Full ownership of the code, hosting on your own server or a provider you control, and a 30-day post-launch support window. We also hand over credentials for all third-party tools we configure.
Custom E-Commerce Platforms — ₹60,000 to ₹2,00,000+
A proper online store with product catalogues, payment gateway integration (Razorpay, PayU, or Stripe for international), order management, inventory tracking, and customer accounts. The price varies significantly based on the number of product variants, custom checkout flows, GST invoice generation, and multi-language support.
Note: Shopify or WooCommerce templates start cheaper but cost more over time through monthly fees, transaction percentages, and plugin subscriptions. A custom build owned outright is almost always cheaper for businesses with more than ₹5 lakh/month in online revenue.
Web Applications and SaaS Platforms — ₹1,00,000 to ₹10,00,000+
These are not websites — they are software that runs in a browser. Examples: a booking platform, a delivery management dashboard, a client portal, or an internal HR tool. Pricing depends entirely on feature scope, user roles, third-party API integrations, and scale requirements. We scope these on a project-by-project basis after a discovery call.
Hidden Costs Most Agencies Don't Tell You About
Hosting Charges
A basic website does not need expensive hosting. Good shared hosting costs ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 per year. Many agencies upsell ₹10,000–₹30,000/year "managed hosting" packages that are simply regular hosting with a margin on top. We recommend Cloudflare Pages (free for static sites), Vercel, or Hostinger's business plan for most small business sites.
Domain Renewal
A .com domain costs roughly ₹800–₹1,200/year. Agencies sometimes register domains in their own name and charge renewal premiums. Always ensure your domain is registered in your personal or business name.
SSL Certificates
As of 2026 there is no legitimate reason to pay for an SSL certificate. Let's Encrypt provides free, auto-renewing HTTPS certificates. Any agency charging you ₹2,000–₹5,000/year for SSL is billing you for something that should be free.
Annual Maintenance Retainers
Legitimate maintenance work is worth paying for. But many agencies lock you into ₹5,000–₹15,000/month contracts that do nothing except prevent you from leaving. Ask exactly what you get each month in writing.
