Pricing, Process & Packages
7
How much does website development cost in Chandigarh?
A business website in Chandigarh costs ₹25,000 to ₹60,000. Ecommerce runs ₹60,000 to
₹1,50,000 depending on product count and payment integration. Custom web applications
start around ₹1,50,000. The largest single variable is content — a site where you
supply text and photographs costs noticeably less than one where we write and source
everything.
How long does it take to build a website?
Two to four weeks for a business site once content is ready, four to eight weeks for
ecommerce, and eight weeks upward for custom applications. Most projects that run late
are waiting on text and photographs from the client rather than on development.
What is the process for building a website?
Six weeks for a business site: week one understanding the business and agreeing a
sitemap, week two content, week three design of the homepage and one inner page, week
four build, week five testing on real devices, week six launch and handover. Week two is
where nearly every late project loses its time.
Do you sign a contract before starting the project?
Yes — scope, price, and timeline agreed in writing before any work begins, so there is
no ambiguity later about what was actually promised for the price quoted.
What is included in a basic business website package?
Design for five to fifteen pages, a working enquiry form, mobile optimisation, basic
on-page SEO such as headings, schema and meta tags, and a walkthrough on how to use it
once it is live. Anything beyond that, a blog, ecommerce, custom features, moves the
price and timeline, which is why we scope it before quoting rather than after.
How many pages does a typical business website need?
Most Chandigarh businesses need five to ten: home, about, services or products, one
page per major service if you offer several, and contact. More pages are not
automatically better — a ten-page site that answers real questions usually outperforms
a thirty-page site padded with content nobody searches for.
How many rounds of design revisions are included?
Two rounds of revisions are included in the standard package. Most projects need one; a
third round is usually a sign the brief was not fully agreed in week one, which is
worth fixing at that stage rather than through endless design iterations.

Do you work with businesses outside Chandigarh?
Yes. We are in Chandigarh and most of our clients are elsewhere in India. Development
happens remotely with calls when they help. Being local matters for local search
strategy, not for where code is written.
Can I get a website in Hindi or Punjabi as well as English?
Yes — multilingual sites with Hindi and Punjabi alongside English are common for
local-facing businesses, particularly for real estate, education and retail in the
Tricity. Each language version gets its own SEO treatment rather than a machine
translation bolted onto the English pages.
How do I find reliable web developers in Chandigarh?
Check the same three things regardless of who you are considering: published pricing, a
named person who actually does the work, and past clients you can actually talk to
rather than a curated quote on a landing page. Our own reviews are linked in the Trust
section above — we would rather you check them than take our word for it.
Do your web developers work on-site or remotely?
Both — we are based in Sector 34A, Chandigarh, and meet clients in person when that
helps, particularly for design sign-off. Development itself happens in-house rather
than outsourced, and clients outside the Tricity work with us entirely remotely with
calls as needed.

Technology & Platforms
7
WordPress, custom code, or Shopify — which is right for my Chandigarh business?
WordPress if you will update content often and want to do it yourself. Shopify or
WooCommerce if it is primarily ecommerce with standard checkout needs. Custom code (PHP,
Laravel, or similar) if the site needs specific functionality neither platform handles
well — a booking system with unusual rules, for instance. We recommend based on what the
site actually needs to do, not a default we push regardless.
Will I be able to edit the website content myself after launch?
Depends on the platform — WordPress and Shopify builds give you full content editing
without touching code. A custom-coded application typically needs a developer for
content changes, which is one of the trade-offs to weigh before choosing that route over
a CMS-based build.
Do you provide hosting and domain registration?
We can set these up on your behalf, but the domain and hosting account are registered in
your name, not ours — the same principle as owning the code. You are never dependent on
us to keep the site online.
Do you build responsive websites that work on all devices?
Yes, and we design mobile-first rather than designing for desktop and shrinking it down
afterward, since most of your visitors in Chandigarh will be on a phone, not a laptop.
Every build is tested on an actual mid-range Android device on 4G, not just a browser
window resized on a laptop.
What is the difference between a static website and a dynamic website?
A static website's content does not change without a developer editing the code
directly, fine for a simple brochure site that rarely updates. A dynamic website pulls
content from a database, so you or your team can add products, blog posts or listings
yourselves through an admin panel. Most businesses that plan to update content
regularly need dynamic, even if the site starts small.
Do you offer full stack web development services?
Yes — frontend, what visitors see and interact with, and backend, databases, servers,
business logic, both handled in-house, so a web application or custom system does not
need two separate vendors who have to coordinate with each other on your behalf.
Do you provide API development and integration services?
Yes — connecting your website to payment gateways, CRMs, inventory systems, or
third-party services via API is routine work for us. If a system you already use has an
API, we can usually connect to it rather than rebuilding that functionality from
scratch.

Industries & Website Types
6
Which industries do you build websites for in Chandigarh?
Healthcare around PGI and Sector 34, IT companies in IT Park and Mohali IT City,
education across Sectors 11, 15 and 34, retail in Sector 17, 22 and Elante, hospitality,
real estate across Mohali and Zirakpur, manufacturing in the Industrial Area, legal and
financial services, and immigration consultancies. Each needs something different from a
website.
Can you redesign my existing website instead of building a new one?
Yes, and we audit first before quoting — a site that already ranks decently sometimes
needs a targeted fix rather than a full rebuild, and redirects get mapped carefully so
existing search rankings survive the change rather than resetting to zero.
Do you build ecommerce websites for Chandigarh businesses?
Yes — Shopify or WooCommerce, with payment gateway and shipping configured, product
pages built to rank individually rather than only the homepage, and staff training
included after handover so your team can actually manage the store day to day.
Can you also build mobile apps alongside a website?
We focus primarily on web development rather than native mobile apps. If a project
genuinely needs a native app rather than a mobile-responsive website, we will say so
directly rather than take on work outside what we do well.
What is a landing page and do I need one separately from my website?
A landing page is a single page built around one specific offer or campaign, with no
navigation to distract from that one action. Most businesses do not need one until they
are running paid ads — a landing page for organic search traffic alone is usually just
your homepage doing the same job.
Can you migrate my website from one platform to another, for example Wix to WordPress?
Yes. Migrations need care around URL structure and redirects specifically so existing
search rankings survive the move rather than resetting. Content and design get carried
over, but the technical side of preserving what the old site already earned in search
is the part that actually matters.

Design & UX
5
What is the difference between web development and web designing?
Website designing is how the site looks and how visitors move through it: layout,
colours, typography, user experience. Web development is the code that makes it
actually work: the backend, forms, database, hosting configuration. We do both under
one roof, which is why a design decision and a technical constraint get caught in the
same conversation instead of after the fact.
What is included in professional website designing?
Custom layout built around your brand rather than a stock theme, a defined colour and
typography system, image and icon selection, and a design checked against actual
usability principles rather than just made to look good in a static preview. We design
at mobile width first, since that is where most visitors actually are.
Do you offer UI/UX design as part of website designing?
Yes — UI, how it looks, and UX, how it works and feels to use, are treated as one job,
not two. A beautifully designed page that confuses visitors about where to click loses
the enquiry just as fast as an ugly one, so both get equal attention during design.
Can I see design mockups before development starts?
Yes — you see and approve the homepage and one inner page design before we build the
rest of the site. That way you are reacting to a direction early, not to fifteen
finished pages built in a style you did not actually want.
Do you follow a specific design process, or is it ad hoc?
It follows the same six-week structure as the rest of the build: understanding the
business, then content, then design, in that order. Designing before content exists
means designing around placeholder text, which is why content comes first even though
it is the step most clients want to skip.

Trust, Ownership & Support
8
Do I own the website and the code?
Yes — the code, the domain and the hosting account are all in your name. Ask this
of any developer before signing. If any of those stay with them, the price you agreed
is a deposit on a subscription rather than a purchase.
Will the website be SEO friendly?
It will be structured for search — semantic headings, schema markup, fast
loading, internal links that describe where they go. That is not the same as ranking. A
well-built site gives search engines no reason to overlook it; ranking is ongoing work
and a separate cost.
What makes Apensia different from other web development companies in Chandigarh?
Three things you can check rather than take on trust: our prices are published, our
founder has been in IT since 1995 and works on the projects, and we turn down roughly a
third of the work we are offered. That last one costs us money and is the reason the
rest goes well.
Do you provide website maintenance after the site is live?
Yes, optionally — updates, backups, security patches, and small content changes, billed
monthly or hourly depending on what you actually need. There is no lock-in: you keep
hosting access throughout, so you can leave the arrangement at any point without losing
the site.
What happens if I need changes after the website is live?
The first 30 days after launch include fixes at no extra cost. After that, small changes
are handled under a maintenance plan if you have one, or billed individually if you do
not — either way, nothing requires a new full contract to get a page updated.
Why does my business need a professional website instead of just social media?
Social media platforms can restrict your reach, change algorithms overnight, or suspend
accounts without warning, none of which you control. A website is the one online asset
you fully own, and it is what shows up when someone searches for your business by name
or by what you do rather than only reaching people already following you.
Can I hire a dedicated web developer from Apensia for an ongoing project?
Yes, for businesses with continuous development needs rather than a single project,
billed monthly against agreed hours, similar to our maintenance arrangement but scoped
for active feature work rather than upkeep. Worth a direct conversation since the
arrangement depends heavily on what you actually need built.
What qualifications or experience do Apensia's web developers have?
The team is led by Kuldeep Chandel, in IT since 1995, with developers who have worked
across WordPress, Shopify, custom PHP and web application builds. Rather than list
certifications, we would point you to the 500+ projects delivered and the reviews
linked above — a portfolio you can actually inspect matters more than a credential you
cannot verify.
