How much does a website cost in Kolkata in 2026?
Ask five people what a website costs and you'll get five answers, from a cousin who'll 'do it for free' to an agency quote that runs into lakhs. The honest answer is that the website cost in Kolkata, or anywhere, depends on three things: how many pages you need, whether you want to edit the site yourself, and whether you sell or take bookings online.
Here's how our own prices work, so you have a real reference point. A one-page site, good for a freelancer or a home tutor, is WOW START at ₹2,999. A shop or cafe that needs up to 5 pages with a map and contact form fits WOW BIZ at ₹4,999. Clinics and consultants who want up to 8 pages and a gallery usually take WOW PRO at ₹7,999. If you want an admin dashboard to update things yourself, WOW GROW is ₹10,999. Booking requests start with WOW BOOKING at ₹14,999, and a full WooCommerce store is WOW SHOP at ₹19,999.
All of these include a .in domain and hosting for the first year. What adds to the bill: extra pages, logo design, content writing, payment gateway fees and premium plugins. Wherever you build, ask for these to be written into the quotation before you pay anything.
Static website or WordPress: which one do you need?
A static website is a set of fixed pages built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's light, quick to load and has very little that can break. The catch is that you can't log in and change things yourself. If your prices change, you send us a message and we update the page.
WordPress, or any CMS, gives you an admin dashboard. You log in, edit a page, add a news post, upload new photos. It needs a database and a little more care, because themes and plugins need updating from time to time.
So which one? Ask yourself how often your content changes. A dental clinic in Salt Lake whose services and timings stay the same for months is well served by a static site like WOW BIZ or WOW PRO. A school that posts notices every week, an NGO sharing event photos, or a boutique adding new sarees every Friday needs a CMS, which means WOW GROW, WOW BOOKING or WOW SHOP.
If you're unsure, start with what you need today. A simple site that goes live this week is worth more than a big one that's still 'almost ready' three months from now.
5 things to send us before we start your website
The biggest delay in most website projects isn't the design. It's waiting for content. Our delivery estimates, from 3–5 days for WOW START to 15–25 days for WOW SHOP, depend on how quickly these reach us.
One, your logo and brand colours. If you don't have a logo file, a clear photo of your signboard is a good start.
Two, your business details: the name exactly as you want it shown, address, phone and WhatsApp number, opening hours and your Google Maps location.
Three, what you offer, with prices if you want to show them. For a cafe that's the menu. For a coaching centre in Howrah, it's the batches, subjects and timings.
Four, ten to twenty good photos. Shoot them in daylight on your phone, hold it straight, and tidy the counter first. Real photos of your own shop beat stock photos every time.
Five, two or three websites you like, even from another city or another trade. That tells us more about your taste than any long description.
Send it all on WhatsApp or to info@wowhost.in. A voice note explaining your services is fine for helping us understand. If you'd like us to write the text itself, content writing can be added to your quotation.
How to get your shop on Google Maps
When someone searches 'sweet shop near me' in Shyambazar, Google shows a map with a few shops at the top. Those listings come from Google Business Profile, and creating one is free.
Search for Google Business Profile and sign in with a Gmail account you'll keep for the business, not a staff member's personal one. Enter your shop name exactly as it appears on the signboard, choose the right category and drop the pin on the exact spot. Add your phone number, opening hours and your website.
Google will then ask you to verify that the business is real. The method varies. Often it's a short video showing your signboard, the inside of the shop and something with your address on it, but it can also be a code by phone or email. Verification can take a few days, so start early.
Once you're live, add photos, update your hours for Durga Puja and other holidays, and ask happy customers for a review. Reply to every review politely, good or bad. Then link your listing and your website to each other. WOW BIZ includes Google Maps on your site; for other plans, just ask.
Reading is good. Seeing your own site is better.
