Fiverr/Upwork freelancer₹5,000 – ₹15,000HighNone
Local Faridabad/Delhi freelancer₹10,000 – ₹25,000MediumLimited
Local agency (NodeAscend)₹15,000 – ₹50,000LowOngoing
Mumbai/Bangalore agency₹40,000 – ₹1,50,000LowOngoing

The honest truth: A ₹5,000 Fiverr website will likely have template code, poor performance, and zero SEO setup. You’ll spend more fixing it later than building it right the first time.
