Questions, answered.
What it costs, how long it takes, what happens after launch, and how working with a team in India from the US, UK, or Australia actually runs. If your question is not here, ask us directly.
General
How much does a website cost?
A simple one page website starts from $60 for international clients and ₹2,000 for clients in India. A typical 5 to 8 page business website lands between $120 and $1,500 (₹4,000 to ₹45,000). Landing pages start from $60 (₹2,000), ecommerce stores from $250 (₹15,000), and custom CMS work from $2,000 (₹70,000). You always get a fixed written quote before anything starts, so the number never moves on you.
Why are your prices different for Indian and international clients?
Because the markets are different, not because the work is. INR pricing reflects what Indian small businesses can realistically invest; USD pricing reflects the US, UK, and European market. Same process, same quality, same person doing the work. The site shows both; pick the currency that matches where your business is based.
What does the free website draft actually include?
A real, working first draft of your website on a private staging link, usually within 24 to 48 hours, before you pay anything. You open it on your phone, click through it, and tell us what to change. It is a draft rather than the finished site, but it means you never commit to a website you have not seen. Two to three rounds of changes are included.
How long does it take to build a website?
The first draft is usually ready in 24 to 48 hours. A typical 5 to 8 page business website goes live in 2 to 5 days once we have your content, and landing pages in 1 to 2 days. Online stores take 1 to 2 weeks and custom CMS projects 1 to 3 weeks. The most common delay is waiting on content, so we help you structure it early.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes, most of our clients are in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, and New Zealand, plus businesses across India. We have delivered 300+ projects remotely since 2019. Everything runs over email, WhatsApp, or a video call, with working hours that overlap your business day.
Which platform should I choose: WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, or Next.js?
WordPress if your team wants to edit content easily and use plugins. Webflow or Framer for design-led marketing sites. Shopify or WooCommerce for online stores. Next.js when speed, custom features, or scale matter most. We build on all of them and recommend one based on how you will actually run the site, not on what is trendy.
Can you redesign or fix my existing website instead of starting over?
Yes. Redesigns, speed fixes, malware cleanup, plugin conflicts, broken forms, and migrations to a new host or platform are a large part of what we do. Your content and SEO value are preserved, and old URLs are redirected so rankings come with you.
Do you provide SEO, and does it include AI search like ChatGPT?
Yes. Our SEO plan covers technical, on-page, and local SEO for Google, plus AI search optimization (AI SEO or GEO) so your business is the source ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite. Plans start from $200 or ₹15,000 per month with a four month minimum. No ranking guarantees, because no honest agency can offer those.
Do you run Google Ads and other paid ads?
Yes: Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn Ads, and ChatGPT ads. We do not start by spending your budget, though. First we look at your website, your service, and who you want to reach, then build a strategy around the channels that actually suit it, which is often one platform done well rather than five done thinly. Management starts from $250 or ₹15,000 per month, and your ad spend is paid directly to the platform.
Should I start with SEO or Google Ads?
It depends on how soon you need enquiries. Ads bring traffic from the day they go live and stop when the spend stops. SEO takes a few months to build but keeps working without paying per click. Many businesses run ads first to get leads coming in while SEO grows, then lean on SEO as it takes over. Either way, the website has to convert first, or both are wasted money.
Can you handle the domain, hosting, SSL, and business email too?
Yes, all of it. We register and manage your domain with no renewal price jumps, or hand it over to you after setup. We host websites on our own managed hosting, with free SSL, daily backups, and monthly maintenance included. And we set up business email on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Zoho Mail, with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured so your mail lands in inboxes.
What happens after my website goes live?
You get full admin access, 30 days of free fixes, and, if your team will edit the site, a walkthrough of how to update text and images. If you would rather not think about updates, backups, and security, monthly maintenance starts from $10 or ₹1,500 per month with no long contract, and it is included free when we host your site.
How do payments work?
For websites, stores, and landing pages you pay nothing until you have seen the first draft, then 50% to continue and the rest on completion. Ongoing services like SEO, ads, and maintenance follow the terms listed on each service page. International clients pay by PayPal or Wise; clients in India pay by bank transfer, card, or UPI.
Will my website be fast and mobile friendly?
Yes, and we show you the numbers. Every site is built mobile first and tuned for Core Web Vitals: optimised images, minimal scripts, and proper caching. You can check the PageSpeed scores yourself before launch.
Do you write the content and supply images?
For websites, yes: we write the copy from a short brief about your business, and corporate sites supply their own content, which we fit to the design. For landing pages, copywriting is an add-on. Your own photos always work best, especially of real events, your team, and your space; where you do not have them, we use licensed images.
Who owns the website, domain, and code when it is done?
You do, on full payment. The website files and any custom code are yours, and you get full admin access. Your domain can sit in your own account or be managed by us, and we move it to you free whenever you ask. If we host your site, you can move it to another host whenever you like.
Do you work with agencies as a white-label partner?
Yes. Agencies in Texas, California, the UK, France, Australia, Israel, and the UAE use us as their development and ads team behind the scenes. We keep the work confidential, deliver on your timelines, and your client never needs to know we exist unless you want them to.
Where are you based, and how do we work together remotely?
Website 2 Design is based in Chennai, India, and works fully remotely with clients worldwide. Communication happens over email, WhatsApp, or video calls, with hours that overlap US, UK, European, and Australian business days. No in person meeting is needed; most clients never have one.
