India starting prices
A simple business website in India can start near ₹25,000. A landing page can start near ₹12,000. A store can start near ₹49,000, booking near ₹59,000, a web app near ₹1,20,000, and a mobile app near ₹1,80,000. These sit below the converted worldwide prices, because a simple job in India is priced for that market. The written quote is still the price that counts. Search setup can start near ₹15,000. Monthly search plan can start near ₹12,000 a month. Search work in India is also priced below the converted worldwide start. Results depend on the market and take time.
When you pay
For work under $4,000, we start after a 50 percent deposit. You pay the rest before launch. Larger jobs are split into milestones, each with something you can click and review. We do not start on a handshake, and we do not ask for the full price before you have seen the plan.
What you own
After the final payment you own the design and the site or app we built for you. You already own the words and pictures you provided. Third-party fees, such as a domain, a payment provider, or an app store account, stay in your name and are billed by those companies.
What is not in the starting price
Your domain name, your photographs, and the facts about your business come from you. If you do not have the words yet, say so and we will include a first draft in the quote. One round of changes inside the written scope is included. New pages or new features are a new price, agreed before we build them.
How to compare
Questions worth asking any studio.
A large firm and a small studio can both build a website. Compare the proof you can check. Elmside is one studio, with two live projects and published starting prices.
What does a published price mean?
A starting price is the range for a normal version of that job. Some studios publish one. Others send a price only after a call. Your written quote is the price that counts. We publish starting prices in US dollars. The pricing page also lists a lower start for a simple site in India.
Who does the work, and what do you own?
Ask who you will talk to, what is included, when the rest is due, and whether you own the site after the final payment. You talk to Elmside. Under $4,000, work starts after a 50 percent deposit. The rest is due before launch. After the final payment you own the design and the build.
Do they promise a search ranking?
Search setup and a monthly search plan can make pages clearer. Where a page shows up depends on the market and takes time. We do not promise a position.
