Websites, software and maintenance

What a website costs

Three website plans, and the same two payments in each. You pay once to build the site, then once a year to keep it running. There is no monthly bill on any of the three.

In every website plan

Hosting and the SSL certificate

A .in or .com domain, registered in your name

Software updates every month

A full backup every week

Someone watching that the site stays up

How you pay

Half before we start and half when the site goes live. The yearly fee is paid once a year, in advance. Anything charged by the month is invoiced at the start of the month. We invoice in your business name with GST, so you can claim it back if you are registered.

  • Questions people ask

    Is GST included in these prices?

    No. Every price on this page is before GST, which is added at 18% on the invoice. So ₹48,000 for the first year on Essential comes to ₹56,640. If your business is GST registered you claim that 18% back, so the real cost to you is the figure shown here. If you are not registered, the 18% is a real cost and worth budgeting for.

    Who owns the domain name?

    You do. We register it in your name, and it stays yours whether or not you stay with us. If you leave, the domain goes with you. This matters more than it sounds. One of the commonest reasons people come to us is that whoever built their last site registered the domain in their own name and will not hand it over.

    What happens if I stop paying the yearly fee?

    Your website stays online for 30 days after the renewal date. After that we take it offline. The domain is registered in your name either way, so you do not lose the address people know you by, and if you are moving to somebody else we hand over the site files. Cancelling stops the next renewal. Nothing is cut off early.

    Can you take on a website you did not build?

    Yes, and most of the sites we look after were built by somebody else. You do not have to rebuild or move it first. We look at what it is running and tell you what state it is in before anything starts. If it is too far gone to be worth keeping, we will tell you so before any yearly fee.

    What if I need more pages than the plan includes?

    Move up a plan, or pay for the extra pages on the one you are on. Starter covers 13 pages, Essential 20 and Growth 40. Signature has no fixed limit. In practice the page count matters less than which pages: one page for each thing you do is what lets somebody searching for that one thing find you, and that is usually what pushes a business from Essential to Growth.

    Why is there a build fee and a yearly fee?

    The build fee pays for writing and making the site, which happens once. The yearly fee pays for the things that do not stop: the server, the domain, the SSL certificate, monthly updates, weekly backups and somebody watching that it stays up. Cheaper quotes often cover only the first and leave the second to you, which is why they cost more in year two.
