The Real Cost of a Cheap Website (And Why It’s Not Worth It)

single blog image

If it’s cheap, there’s a reason.

I once had a client who proudly said —

“We got our website made for ₹5,000.”
Two months later, they were back in my inbox:
“Can you fix it? It’s broken. Nothing’s working. Customers are complaining.”

This isn’t rare. It happens all the time.

Let’s break it down — honestly, practically, and without judgment.

What Does a “Cheap Website” Actually Mean?

  • ₹3,000–₹10,000 pricing
  • Made in 2-3 days
  • Free templates, zero strategy
  • No SEO
  • No mobile optimization
  • No future support
  • It looks like a website. But it doesn’t perform like one.

Hidden Costs of a Cheap Website

1. Lost Trust = Lost Customers
A slow or broken website makes you look unprofessional. People leave within seconds.

2. No SEO = No Traffic
Google doesn’t rank weak websites. So even if your business is good, no one finds you.

3. Rebuild Cost Later
You’ll eventually pay double to fix it or rebuild it.
I’ve seen it. I’ve fixed it. Many times.

What a Professional Website Gets You

  • Custom design that matches your brand
  • Mobile-first responsive layout
  • Built-in SEO
  • Clear call-to-action to convert visitors
  • Ongoing support + maintenance
  • Better speed, security, and user experience

Final Truth: A Website Is an Investment, Not an Expense

If your website is your digital shop, why build a broken one?

A ₹5,000 website might look like a deal — but it can cost you lakhs in lost trust, traffic, and time.
