What a local business website should cost in 2026 (real numbers)

Pricing transparency thread — real 2026 ranges we see across Mangalore & Bangalore markets:

• ₹15k–₹30k — brochure site (5 pages, template-based). Fine for a clinic or shop.
  
• ₹40k–₹80k — custom design, CMS, basic SEO, local schema.
  
• ₹80k–₹1.5L — platform-grade: community, payments, dashboards, migrations.
  
• ₹1.5L+ — multi-product platforms with SLAs & aftercare teams.
  

What drives cost: content volume, integrations, migrations, aftercare SLA, security baseline. Red flags: "₹5k full website" (template resale, no ownership) and "call for price" (no transparency).

Our published tiers at DF Studio follow lane 2–3, built on a live 22K-member platform.
