How much does a wedding website cost in India? The real 2026 numbers
"Get a wedding website made" can mean ₹0 or ₹1.5 lakh, depending entirely on who builds it. Here are the real price tiers in India, the costs that hide in the quote, and where the smartest spend actually sits.
The short answer: free tools cost ₹0 with trade-offs, platform subscriptions ₹500–₹3,000+/yr, a freelancer ₹8,000–₹40,000, and an agency ₹40,000–₹1,50,000+ — before the domain, hosting and RSVP work. SitesPlaced Celebrations gives you a hand-painted site with RSVP, gallery, music and a custom domain for a one-time ₹999 / $20, with no renewals.
What you're actually paying for
A wedding website price tracks four things: how custom the design is, whether the RSVP and multi-day schedule are built properly, how many revisions you'll need as plans shift, and how urgent the date is. An Indian wedding adds load on every front — several events across several days, a long guest list, family spread across cities — so a site that handles all of it is worth more than a single static page.
The figures below are approximate India market rates as of 2026 and depend on scope. The point isn't an exact number — it's understanding which tier gives you the most for the least.
Wedding website pricing tiers (India, 2026)
| Option | Price | Timeline | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free tools | ₹0 | A few hours | Templated design on a shared subdomain, platform branding or ads, and a limited RSVP. Fine for a basic page; not very personal. |
| Platform subscriptions | ₹500 – ₹3,000+/yr | A few hours | Nicer themes and a custom domain, but it's a recurring charge — and many premium features sit behind the paid tier. |
| Freelancer (India) | ₹8,000 – ₹40,000 | 1–3 weeks | A custom page built for you. Quality and follow-up vary, and revisions usually mean going back to the developer. |
| Agency / wedding designer | ₹40,000 – ₹1,50,000+ | 3–8 weeks | Bespoke design, animations, often bundled with invitation branding. Beautiful, but slow and the most expensive route. |
| SitesPlaced Celebrations | ₹999 / $20 one-time | Same day | Hand-painted site + RSVP with CSV export + gallery + music + custom domain. No subscription, no renewals. |

The costs that hide in the quote
Custom domain
A yourname.com is roughly ₹800–₹1,500/year and is frequently quoted separately, or left on a free subdomain until the end. SitesPlaced includes a custom domain in the one-time price.
Hosting
A freelancer or agency build needs hosting (₹2,000+/year). With a purpose-built builder, hosting is included — there's no separate server to pay for.
A working RSVP
A real RSVP with headcounts, a dashboard and an export is dev time on a custom build, not a checkbox. SitesPlaced has it built in with live totals and a CSV for the caterer.
Revisions
Changed a venue or added an event? On a custom build that's a fresh request — and often a fresh invoice. On SitesPlaced every word is yours to edit yourself.
Renewals
Subscription tools and domain registrations recur every year. A one-time payment means nothing expires the week before the wedding.
Put it next to the wedding budget
An Indian wedding routinely costs lakhs across venue, catering, outfits, photography and decor. Against that, the invitation website — the one asset that reaches every single guest and quietly collects every RSVP — is one of the cheapest line items you'll touch. Overspending here is easy to justify in the moment and almost never necessary.
That's why so many couples are moving from agencies to builders. The templates are now designer-grade, the RSVP is built in, and the result lands in a day instead of weeks.
The smartest spend: one-time ₹999
SitesPlaced Celebrations is purpose-built for weddings: a hand-painted, scroll-story website on one shareable link. You pick a wedding art style — Royal Mandap or Starlit Anime, with more styles being added — drop in your names, events, photos and a music track, and publish a phone-first site that unfurls with your names on WhatsApp.
The price is a single ₹999 in India or $20 worldwide, one-time. No subscription, no renewals, no surprise domain or RSVP add-ons — the built-in RSVP (with live totals and a CSV export for the caterer), gallery, music and custom domain are all included. You build and preview for free and only pay when you publish.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a wedding website cost in India in 2026?
It ranges widely. Free tools cost nothing but limit design and RSVP; platform subscriptions run roughly ₹500–₹3,000+ a year; a freelancer charges about ₹8,000–₹40,000 and an agency ₹40,000–₹1,50,000+ (approximate as of 2026). SitesPlaced Celebrations is a one-time ₹999 in India or $20 worldwide for a hand-painted site with built-in RSVP, gallery, music and a custom domain — no subscription and no renewals.
Why do wedding websites cost so much?
On custom builds you're paying for someone's design and development time, plus a working RSVP, a custom domain, hosting and revisions — each of which adds hours. Because the wedding date is fixed, freelancers also price in urgency. Most of that cost simply recreates what a purpose-built wedding template already includes.
What hidden costs come with a wedding website?
The common ones are a custom domain (₹800–₹1,500/year), hosting (₹2,000+/year on custom builds), a real RSVP system (extra dev time), revisions when plans change, and annual renewals on subscription tools. SitesPlaced bundles the domain, RSVP, hosting, music and gallery into a single one-time ₹999 or $20, so there are no add-ons.
Is ₹999 a reasonable price for a wedding website?
In the context of a wedding budget it's tiny. Indian weddings run into lakhs, and the website is the one thing that collects every RSVP and carries your invitation to every guest. A one-time ₹999 for a hand-painted site with RSVP, gallery, music and a custom domain is among the lowest-risk line items on the whole budget.
Are couples moving from agencies to wedding website builders?
Yes. As builder templates have become designer-grade, many couples no longer see the value in a five-figure agency invoice and weeks of lead time for an invitation site. They get a comparable result — premium design plus a working RSVP — in a day, for a one-time fee, and can edit it themselves afterwards.
