The Truth About WordPress Pricing

WordPress powers 43% of the web. It's flexible, popular, and often misunderstood when it comes to cost. You can build a WordPress site for ₹5,000 or ₹5,00,000. Why the gap?


The 4 Tiers of WordPress Sites

1. The "Do It Yourself" (₹3,000 - ₹5,000)

You pay for: Hosting + Domain + Premium Theme. You do: Everything. Setup, design, content, security. Risk: High. If it breaks, you fix it.

2. The Freelancer Basic (₹15,000 - ₹25,000)

You pay for: A freelancer to install a theme and change content. You get: A standard looking site, decent setup. Risk: Medium. Reliability of support varies.

3. The Agency Professional (₹30,000 - ₹75,000)

You pay for: Strategy, custom design (using builders like Elementor/Divi), SEO, security, speed optimization. You get: A business asset that generates leads. Risk: Low. Includes contracts and support.

4. Custom Enterprise (₹1,00,000+)

You pay for: Custom theme development (no page builders), custom plugins, integrations. You get: High performance, unique brand identity.


Hidden Costs of WordPress

It's not just the one-time fee.

  1. Hosting: ₹3,000 - ₹10,000 / year (Don't use GoDaddy's cheapest plan!)
  2. Premium Plugins:
    • WP Rocket (Speed): ₹4,000/yr
    • Elementor Pro: ₹4,500/yr
    • Security Plugin: ₹8,000/yr (Note: Agencies often include these licenses in their maintenance plans)
  3. Maintenance: Time or money to update plugins safely.
