Freelance Web Developer in Bangalore

₹7,000–₹80,000 for most business websites, ₹50,000 upwards for e-commerce. On a time basis, experienced Indian freelance rates run roughly ₹800–₹3,000 an hour against ₹1,500–₹5,000 for an agency doing the same work. The gap is overhead — sales staff, account managers and office costs that never touch your project. The estimator above gets you to a number for your own shape in under a minute.

Usually, and for a structural reason rather than a quality one: you are not funding a sales layer. What you give up is cover. An agency has other people who can pick your project up if someone is unavailable, and if your build genuinely needs three specialists working in parallel to a fixed deadline, that is worth paying for and I will tell you so. The freelancer versus agency comparison sets out the trade-off in full, including where the agency wins.

No. I am based in Bengaluru, which matters if you want to meet, but website work is delivered remotely and most of my clients are elsewhere in India or abroad. Nothing about a website build requires me to be in your city — only physical work like cameras and cabling does.

One to two weeks for a starter site, two to four for a standard business site, six to twelve for e-commerce. The honest caveat: those clocks assume content is ready. The single most common cause of a late website is not development, it is waiting for copy and photographs — which is why the quote lists what I need from you and when.

Yes, entirely, from the first commit. Domain, hosting, repository, CMS logins and analytics are all registered in your name and handed over documented. You can take the site to another developer without asking me for anything, and that is a genuine option rather than a polite fiction — it is the main thing that separates this from a website builder subscription.

For a three-page site for a business that will never need more, a builder is a reasonable answer and I will say so rather than sell you something. The two things that change the maths are the SEO ceiling and the exit: builder markup and page speed cap how well you can rank, and you never own the result, so leaving means rebuilding. If the site is a sales channel rather than a business card, that ceiling arrives sooner than people expect.

It depends on how often your team publishes and how custom the functionality is, and anyone who answers without asking that is selling what they happen to build. WordPress suits frequent non-technical publishing; Next.js suits speed, custom functionality and scale. There is a full comparison on the website development page, and I build both.

Staged against delivery, never in full upfront — typically a start payment, one or two milestones and a balance on handover. Razorpay, UPI or bank transfer, with a GST invoice for every payment. If a milestone is not signed off, the next stage does not begin.

It is the fair question to ask any individual, and the answer has to be structural rather than reassuring. Your code sits in your own repository from day one, accounts are in your name, and the work is documented as it goes — so another developer can pick it up without archaeology. Ask any freelancer how you would recover if they vanished; the shape of the answer tells you most of what you need to know.

Often yes, and it is usually the better spend. A speed and SEO remediation on a structurally sound site costs a fraction of a rebuild and protects rankings you already have. I will tell you which of the two your site needs after looking at it — and if the honest answer is that it needs nothing right now, you will get that too.

I write the structure, the page titles and the SEO-facing copy as part of the build, because those are search decisions rather than writing ones. Long-form content, product descriptions and photography are yours or quoted separately. What I will not do is fill a site with placeholder text and call it delivered.

Keyword research before design, responsive layout, technical SEO — schema, sitemaps, canonicals, Core Web Vitals — a CMS your team can edit, analytics and Search Console configured, lead forms wired to your inbox or CRM, SSL, and 30 days of post-launch support. These are not upsells; a site without them is unfinished.
