In Kolkata, a simple business website usually starts around ₹5,000, and a Shopify store with payments and catalogue setup starts around ₹12,000. The final price depends on pages, features, content and products.
1. What changes the price
The number of pages, online payments, who writes the content, how many products you sell, and whether hosting and domain are included.
2. What a starter website should include
Mobile-friendly design, WhatsApp button, enquiry form, Google Maps, basic SEO and SSL.
4. WordPress or Shopify?
WordPress suits service businesses that want enquiries. Shopify suits product sellers who need a smooth checkout.
5. How to avoid paying twice
Own your domain and hosting login, get admin access, and test the site on a phone before final payment.
