Landing page or simple brochure (2–5 pages) Clients in Chennai typically pay ₹35,000–₹70,000. Includes design, build, basic SEO, and contact form. Timeline: 2–4 weeks. Good for startups and product launches.
Business website (5–15 pages, blog, services) Clients pay ₹70,000–₹1,80,000. Custom layout, multiple templates, optional CMS setup. Timeline: 4–8 weeks. Common for SMEs and professional services.
E-commerce or complex theme (WooCommerce, many templates) Clients pay ₹1,50,000–₹4,00,000+. Product pages, cart, checkout, and custom features. Timeline: 8–16 weeks. What clients actually pay depends on number of templates and integrations.
Scope (pages, templates, custom features), design complexity (from template-tweak to full custom UI), and whether content and copy are included. Revisions and post-launch support also affect what clients actually pay. A fixed-scope quote avoids surprises.
Design (mockups or direct build), development to WordPress standards, responsive layout, basic SEO (structure, speed), and handover with documentation. Hosting and content may be extra. Ask for a clear scope document so you know what you are paying for.
Share your sitemap, reference sites, and must-have features. Ask for fixed price and milestones. Compare 2–3 Chennai teams; similar scope should land in similar ranges.
