A website for a small business in India can cost nothing, if you build it yourself on a free builder, or several lakh rupees from a custom agency. For most shops, clinics, salons and restaurants the useful middle is a professionally built site on a ready design, plus a monthly fee that keeps it online. This guide sets out what that costs at Erpixo, where setup starts at ₹1,999, and what to compare when you collect other quotes.
Erpixo's four website plans
Starter: ₹1,999 setup plus ₹499 a month — shops, salons, freelancers who have no website yet. Includes 1-page professional website, mobile & tablet ready, click-to-whatsapp button, google maps location, enquiry form to your email, free ssl certificate. Business: ₹4,999 setup plus ₹999 a month — local businesses that need customers to find them on google. Includes up to 5 pages, photo gallery / portfolio, seo setup: page titles, descriptions, sitemap, google business profile setup, click-to-call & whatsapp. Professional: ₹9,999 setup plus ₹1,499 a month — clinics, institutes, agencies running ads or content. Includes 10+ pages, blog / news section, booking or appointment form, analytics dashboard, on-page seo: headings, schema markup, image text. E-commerce: ₹19,999 setup plus ₹1,999 a month — retailers and brands who want to take orders and payments. Includes product catalog & cart, online payments (upi, cards), order management panel, customer accounts, delivery / shipping setup.
What the monthly fee pays for
A website is not a one-time purchase: it needs hosting, a renewed domain, an SSL certificate and someone to fix things. Erpixo's care plan covers hosting & domain renewal, ssl certificate & security updates, daily backups, 2 content edits per month, uptime monitoring, whatsapp support. It is also why the setup fee can stay low. You can cancel anytime; the site goes offline at the end of the paid month, and we hand over your domain and site files.
The first year, worked out
Setup plus twelve months of care plan: Starter ₹7,987, Business ₹16,987, Professional ₹27,987, E-commerce ₹43,987. Compare quotes on this first-year figure rather than the setup price alone — a cheap build with expensive hosting, or a free build that charges for every change, can cost more by month twelve.
Free builder, freelancer or a fixed-price plan
A free builder costs only your time, but you design, write and maintain it yourself, and the free tier usually shows the builder's branding. A freelancer billing by the hour can do excellent work, but the total is only known at the end: at ₹800 an hour — our estimate of a common rate — a one-page site taking 15 hours comes to ₹12,000 before hosting. A fixed-price plan tells you the full cost before you start.
Questions to ask before you pay anyone
Whose name is the domain registered in, and can you move it if you leave? What happens to the site if you stop paying the monthly fee? How many changes a month are included? Is GST included or added on top? Do you get the design files and content back? A good provider answers all five in writing before you pay.
Key Takeaways
For most local businesses a professional site on a ready design, with hosting and edits on a small monthly fee, is the right amount of website. See all four plans on the website design page, or send Erpixo a WhatsApp message with your business name and we will suggest one.
