"Why does one developer quote ₹15,000 and another quote ₹1,50,000 for the same website?"

A founder asked me this last week. Fair question. Here's the honest answer:

The ₹15k version: a template, your logo swapped in, content copy-pasted, no mobile testing, no speed optimization, and good luck reaching them after delivery.

The ₹1.5L version: custom design, but often you're paying for an agency's office rent and account managers — not more code.

What actually matters when you compare quotes:

Who writes the content? (This is 40% of the work)

Is it tested on real phones, not just a laptop?

Who owns the domain and hosting? (It should be YOU, always)

What happens when something breaks in month 3?

The right price isn't the lowest or the highest. It's the one where you know exactly what you're paying for.
Save this for the next time you're comparing quotes.
