Pricing & Cost

Website design cost in India typically ranges from ₹4,000 to ₹15,000+ depending on the number of pages, features, and design complexity. We offer affordable website design in Kerala starting at ₹4,000 for basic sites, while premium websites with advanced features and custom design cost ₹15,000 and above. Final pricing depends on factors like page count, functionality (e-commerce, booking systems, etc.), and design quality.

Freelance web designers in India typically charge ₹500–₹3,500 ($7–$50) per hour, or work on fixed project rates. For a professional 5–12 page website, expect to pay ₹20,000–₹35,000. E-commerce websites with more complex functionality usually start from ₹35,000+. Rates vary by industry — an education website’s requirements differ from a manufacturing or retail site, which affects final pricing.

Yes, WordPress serves as the engine that drives your website. It allows it to run, allows you to edit the site’s content, add new posts and pages, and ensures that your website looks good on all devices. Don’t worry; we’ll show you how to do it and guide you through the process.

We accept flexible payment methods including bank transfers, Google Pay, Paytm, PayPal, and all major credit cards, so you can choose what’s most convenient.

Timeline & Process

A standard 10–15 page website takes 5–10 days to build, depending on design complexity, number of pages, and required features. Larger or more feature-rich projects may take longer. Timelines vary across web development companies based on their workflow and team size.

Your involvement depends on the type of website you need. We clarify expectations and your role during an initial discovery call, before any work begins.

Yes, we offer priority/fast-track services for urgent projects. Share your deadline with us and we’ll confirm feasibility — note that expedited timelines may include additional charges.

Do you build websites on WordPress?

Yes, we build websites using WordPress, a content management system (CMS) that lets you easily edit pages, add blog posts, and ensure your site displays properly across all devices. We provide full training so you’re comfortable managing your own content after launch.

We integrate AI across the entire workflow — from planning to launch — including AI-assisted content writing, smart UI/UX recommendations, SEO optimization, chatbot integration, personalized product recommendations for Shopify stores, and user behavior analysis. This results in faster development, smarter design decisions, and more scalable websites for businesses of any size.

Yes, every website we build is fully responsive and mobile-friendly, optimized to display correctly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. Since most users browse on mobile, responsive design is essential for visibility and user experience.

Post-Launch Support & Maintenance

Yes. We provide complete training and resources so you can independently update content, pages, and images after launch.

Yes, we offer ongoing website maintenance and support plans, including regular updates and repair assistance, for clients who prefer hands-off management.

Simply reach out anytime. We’ve supported clients for 12+ years and remain available for updates, fixes, or improvements long after launch — we don’t disappear once your site goes live.

We host your website for you, including free hosting for the first year, with renewal invoices sent annually after that. Alternatively, you’re welcome to self-host or use a third-party hosting provider — the choice is yours.

Budget-Friendly Options

Yes. We offer an affordable starter website package designed specifically for entrepreneurs and startups who need to get online quickly without compromising on a professional look.

Content & Copywriting

You’re welcome to write your own content since you know your business best, or our in-house copywriters can create professional website content for you at an additional cost — whichever works best for your timeline and budget.

About Freelance Web Designers

A freelance web designer builds and customizes websites for businesses across platforms like WordPress and Drupal, performing the same core work as an in-house designer but operating independently on a per-project basis with flexible hours.

Freelance web designers are often more affordable (lower overhead), more flexible, and faster to engage than larger design firms, which is why even large companies increasingly hire freelancers for web projects requiring skill and quality at a competitive cost.

Notable Clients & Industries

Yes. Past projects include the official web presence of Malayalam actor VK Sreeran, Revathi Kala Mandir film production house, and institutional work for the University of Calicut. These projects required websites that match the reputation, credibility, and public visibility of the organisations they represent. If you are a public figure, institution, or cultural brand in Kerala or India, I would be glad to discuss your requirements.

Yes. I have designed websites for Malayalam film actors, production houses, and creative professionals in the entertainment industry. An entertainment website needs to load fast, look visually strong on mobile, and manage media like trailers, photo galleries, and press content without slowing down. If you are a film production company, actor, director, or music artist looking for a professional web presence in Kerala or India, get in touch.

Yes. I have built websites for higher education institutions including projects associated with the University of Calicut. Educational institution websites need to handle large amounts of content — departments, courses, events, notices — while remaining fast, accessible, and easy for non-technical staff to update. I build these on WordPress with custom content structures that are manageable long-term.

Location

I am based in Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala, at APM Haji Tower, Palazhi Pala, near HiLITE Mall. I work with local businesses in Calicut, Kozhikode, Malappuram, and across Kerala, and also serve clients across India, UAE, UK, Canada, and Australia. Local clients can meet in person for project discussions — just call or WhatsApp ahead to schedule.

Yes. A large portion of my projects come from international clients — UAE, UK, Canada, Australia, Qatar, USA, and more. All project communication, file sharing, and approvals happen online, so location is never a barrier. I work across time zones and have handled projects for businesses in over 15 countries.

General

Both, depending on your budget and goals. For clients who need speed and affordability, I customise premium WordPress or Shopify themes to match your brand. For clients who need a fully unique look or advanced functionality, I build custom themes from scratch using Tailwind CSS, custom PHP, or React/Next.js. I will always tell you which approach fits your situation before we start.

Every website I build is SEO-ready from day one — this includes proper heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, fast loading speed, mobile responsiveness, and clean URL structure. For ongoing SEO — keyword research, content strategy, link building, and monthly reporting — I offer SEO packages separately. Ask about SEO during your free consultation and I will recommend what makes sense for your business stage.

Yes. A website redesign done incorrectly can destroy years of SEO work. My redesign process always starts with a full audit of your current pages, rankings, and backlinks. I maintain existing URL structures where possible, set up proper 301 redirects where URLs change, and preserve all on-page SEO signals. The goal is a better-looking, faster website that improves rankings, not one that resets them.

When you hire an agency, your project is often passed to a junior designer or developer you never meet. With me, you work directly with a 14-year veteran on every stage of the project — design, development, content, and launch. There is no overhead, no account manager layer, and no upselling. This means faster decisions, clearer communication, and a website that reflects your actual goals rather than a template pitched in a sales deck.

The first step is a free consultation — by call, WhatsApp, or email. I will ask about your business, your goals, your budget, and your timeline. Based on that conversation, I will send you a clear proposal with pricing, timeline, and what is included. No pressure, no complicated forms. Most clients get their proposal within 24 hours of the first call.

Yes. I have packages designed specifically for small businesses and startups that need a professional website quickly and within budget. These start from ₹4,000 for a landing page and ₹10,000 for a multi-page business website. Every package — regardless of price — includes mobile responsiveness, basic SEO setup, and a contact form. Kerala startups and home-based businesses are a big part of the work I do.
