WordPress Website Cost in India: Price for a 5-Page, 10-Page and Blog Website (2026)

You have decided your website should be on WordPress. Good choice. It runs a huge share of the world's websites, it is flexible, and you can update it yourself without learning to code.

Then you start asking for prices, and the confusion begins. One developer says ₹6,000. Another says ₹45,000. A third says "WordPress is free, why pay at all?" Everyone sounds confident, and nobody explains the difference.

This guide gives you a straight answer. We will show you what a WordPress website costs in India in 2026 for a 5-page site, a 10-page site, a blog, and an online store. You will also see the yearly running costs, the dangers of very cheap WordPress sites, and how to get good work at a fair price. We are RankDigi, and WordPress has been a core part of our work for 15 years.

The Short Answer: WordPress Website Prices in India

Here are the typical prices for a professionally built WordPress website in 2026:

• One-page or landing page site: ₹8,000 to ₹20,000
• 5-page business website: ₹15,000 to ₹35,000
• 10-page business website: ₹25,000 to ₹60,000
• Blog or news website: ₹15,000 to ₹40,000
• WooCommerce online store: ₹40,000 to ₹2.5 lakh
• Membership, course, or booking website: ₹60,000 to ₹2 lakh

These are typical market ranges. The exact number depends on the design, the features, and who builds it.

At RankDigi, a WordPress business website starts at ₹24,999, a portfolio website at ₹12,999, and a landing page at ₹8,999.

"But WordPress Is Free, Right?"

Yes and no. The WordPress software itself is free. Anyone can download it and use it. That is true.

But the software is like a free empty plot of land. You still need to build the house. A working website needs several other things, and those are what you pay for.

• Domain name: your address on the internet, such as yourbusiness.in. About ₹800 to ₹1,500 a year.
• Hosting: the space where your website lives. About ₹2,000 to ₹8,000 a year for a normal business site.
• Theme: the design of your site. Free themes exist. A good premium theme costs about ₹3,000 to ₹6,000, usually once.
• Plugins: extra features such as forms, speed tools, security, and SEO. Many are free. Premium ones cost ₹2,000 to ₹15,000 a year in total for most sites.
• Design and development: the work of planning the pages, building them, adding content, and making everything work on mobile. This is the biggest part.
• Content: the words and photos. Either you provide them or someone is paid to create them.

So when a developer quotes ₹25,000 for a "free" WordPress site, you are paying for skill and time, not for the software.

WordPress Website Cost by Type

5-page business website: ₹15,000 to ₹35,000

This is the classic small business website: Home, About, Services, Gallery or Portfolio, and Contact. It suits shops, clinics, consultants, tutors, and local service providers.

At this price, you should get a design matched to your brand, a mobile-friendly layout, a contact form, WhatsApp and call buttons, a Google Map, basic SEO setup, and an admin login so you can edit text and photos.

10-page business website: ₹25,000 to ₹60,000

When you offer several services, each one deserves its own page. Ten to fifteen pages give you room for individual service pages, a team page, testimonials, an FAQ, and a blog.

The extra pages are not just for show. Each service page can appear on Google for its own search. A page for "GST registration" and another for "company incorporation" will bring more visitors than one page listing both. This is why a 10-page site usually brings more enquiries than a 5-page one.

Blog or news website: ₹15,000 to ₹40,000

WordPress began as a blogging tool, and it is still the best for it. A blog site needs a clean reading layout, categories, an author box, a search bar, social sharing, and fast loading. If you plan to earn from ads, you also need a layout with ad spaces that does not annoy readers.

WooCommerce online store: ₹40,000 to ₹2.5 lakh

WooCommerce turns WordPress into a full online store with a cart, payments, and shipping. The price depends mostly on how many products you have and which features you need. We have covered this in detail in our guide to e-commerce website development cost in India. Our e-commerce service starts at ₹39,999.

Membership, course, or booking website: ₹60,000 to ₹2 lakh

Websites where people log in, pay for a course, book an appointment, or access members-only content need more work. They have user accounts, payments, and rules about who can see what. A good example is SkillKarts, an online learning platform we built on WordPress with courses and certificates.

What Decides Whether You Pay ₹15,000 or ₹50,000?

Two WordPress websites with the same number of pages can have very different prices. These are the reasons.

• Ready theme or custom design. A theme with your logo and colours is quicker. A layout designed from scratch for your business takes more hours.
• Who writes the content. If you give ready text and photos, the cost drops. If the developer has to write and source everything, it rises.
• Special features. Online booking, payment collection, multiple languages, or a chatbot each add cost.
• Speed work. A site tuned to load in two seconds takes more effort than one that loads in six. That effort pays you back in enquiries.
• Experience of the developer. A beginner charges less, but an experienced developer avoids the mistakes that cost you later.
• Support after launch. Training and a support period are part of a good quote.

Doing It Yourself vs Hiring a WordPress Developer

WordPress is friendly enough that many people try building their own site. Sometimes that is the right call. Here is an honest comparison.

Building it yourself

• Cost: about ₹5,000 to ₹12,000 for the domain, hosting, and a premium theme.
• Time: usually 40 to 80 hours for a first-timer, spread over weeks.
• Good for: personal blogs, hobby sites, and very early-stage ideas.
• The risks: a slow site, weak security, a design that looks like a template, and no one to call when something breaks.

Hiring a developer

• Cost: from about ₹15,000 for a simple site.
• Time: 2 to 4 weeks, with only a few hours needed from you.
• Good for: any business where the website must bring customers.
• What you gain: a faster site, proper SEO setup, security, backups, and someone responsible for the result.

A simple way to decide: what is one new customer worth to you? If one customer brings ₹10,000, a professional website pays for itself with three enquiries. Your own 60 hours are probably better spent running your business.

The Yearly Cost of Running a WordPress Website

After launch, a normal business website on WordPress needs a small yearly budget.

• Domain renewal: ₹800 to ₹1,500
• Hosting renewal: ₹2,000 to ₹8,000. Check the renewal price before you buy, because it is often higher than the first-year offer.
• Premium plugin renewals: ₹0 to ₹10,000
• SSL certificate: usually free with good hosting
• Maintenance: optional, but wise. Our maintenance plans start at ₹1,999 a month and cover updates, backups, and security checks.

For most small businesses, the basic running cost is ₹3,000 to ₹10,000 a year without a maintenance plan.

A Simple Example: Where ₹30,000 Goes

To make this real, here is a typical split for a 10-page WordPress business website quoted at ₹30,000. The exact numbers change from project to project, but the pattern is the same.

• Planning and design (about ₹9,000): understanding your business, choosing the layout, colours, and structure of each page.
• Building the pages (about ₹10,000): setting up WordPress, creating all ten pages, and making each one work on mobile.
• Content and images (about ₹4,000): placing your text, resizing photos, and polishing the wording.
• Forms, WhatsApp, and maps (about ₹2,000): everything that lets a visitor contact you.
• Speed, SEO, and security setup (about ₹3,500): the work nobody sees but everybody feels.
• Testing, training, and launch (about ₹1,500): checking every page and showing you how to manage it.

When a quote is much lower than this, one or more of these steps is being skipped. Usually it is the planning, the speed work, or the testing. Those are exactly the parts that decide whether your website brings enquiries.

Which Hosting Should You Choose for WordPress?

Hosting is a small cost with a big effect. A good host makes your site fast and safe. A poor one makes even a well-built site feel slow. For a normal business website, a quality shared or cloud plan from a known provider is enough. Look for servers in or near India, free SSL, daily backups, and reasonable renewal prices. Avoid plans that look almost free in year one and triple at renewal. If you are unsure, ask your developer to recommend a plan and buy it in your own name.

The Hidden Danger of Very Cheap WordPress Websites

A ₹4,000 WordPress website sounds like a great deal. Before you say yes, understand how such prices are possible.

• Pirated themes and plugins. Some sellers use "nulled" copies of paid themes. These often contain hidden code that can hijack your site, show spam links, or steal visitor data. You also get no updates.
• Overloaded hosting. Your site shares a cheap server with hundreds of others, so it is slow and often down.
• No updates. WordPress, themes, and plugins need regular updates. Outdated sites are the main target for hackers.
• The same template for everyone. Your site looks exactly like twenty others in your city.
• You do not own it. The domain and hosting are in the seller's account. If they vanish, so does your website.

A slow or hacked site does not just look bad. It drives away customers and can get your site flagged by Google. If your current WordPress site is already slow, our speed optimization service can fix it without a rebuild.

How to Get a Good WordPress Website at a Fair Price

1. Write down your pages before asking for quotes. A clear list gets you accurate prices.
2. Keep your content ready. Logo, text, photos, and contact details.
3. Ask which theme and plugins will be used. And confirm the licences will be in your name.
4. Insist on owning your domain and hosting. Register them with your own email.
5. Check live examples on your phone. Speed and mobile layout tell you everything.
6. Ask about training. You should learn to edit pages and add blog posts yourself.
7. Get the scope in writing. Pages, features, revisions, timeline, and price.
