- Number of pages: a 5-page site sits near the lower end; 15+ pages with service and location pages sit higher.
- Design: a clean, structured layout costs less than a fully custom design with animations.
- Features: booking forms, multilingual content, CRM integrations and calculators add to the cost.
- Content: writing and SEO-optimising your page content is extra if you do not provide it.
- Product count and how many variations (size, colour) each product has

Very low-cost websites usually reuse a template without changes, skip speed optimisation and security, or keep the domain and hosting in the developer’s name. They often need rebuilding within a year. Nikhil Soman’s pricing includes a fast, SEO-friendly build and full ownership, so the website is ready whenever you start SEO. SEO itself is priced separately.
