How much money required for making a WordPress website in India?
Cost for making WordPress website-
Let me very clear on this topic, the minimum amount to make the WordPress website needed is ₹ 12000. This cost may also depend on the type of website you are working upon, but the above-estimated cost is predicted for the normal blogging website, which means that websites that are made for posting the articles and placing the google ads. Don’t worry I will be explaining to you that how it will cost you 12000 ₹, and also I will recommend you the best hosting and themes for your WordPress website.
For making the normal blogging website to earn by placing the google adds, you need to purchase few things, such as:-
- Hosting and domain
- Premium theme
- And the last, page builders (optional)
If you want to earn money by placing the ads on your website, then you have to customize your website in the manner that your website ranks in the google search engine, so for this purpose, you will need a premium domain and hosting and along with it you will need “premium themes”, I will tell you the importance of these things later in this article that why having a good hosting with 99% uptime and premium themes have an SEO impact on your site.
You can get free themes also on WordPress, and even you can also get the free themes on the internet, but these free themes sometimes have very strict limitations, such as you cannot modify the footer area, you cannot change the layout of the website. But with the free themes, you can change anything you want, and you can also use page builders to highly customize your website. But let me very honest- page builders are not so much important, but if you have money then you can go for page builders but if you do not have then there is no problem, you can run a successful website without page builders and you can earn through it.
When you will be searching for web hosting services then you will find many cheap hosting services, but I will recommend you use only Bluehost hosting services since they are recommended by WordPress also and they provide you 98 to 99 % uptime. You can also go for some cheap hosting services but trust me they will create a problem later when your website will be having 2k to 3k visitors per day. And for themes, I will recommend you use the “wp Astra theme”, since their theme is the most used WordPress theme ever, and also their theme has the best integration with some useful plugins, such as woo-commerce, and many page builders work well with Astra theme.
So now let’s estimate the cost for making the WordPress website:-
- Bluehost hosting service – ₹ 7000 nearly (which will have a free domain and free SSL)
- Astra theme 1 year – ₹ 4000
So you will need 11000 to 12000 ₹ for making the WordPress website in India. If you want to use page builders such as elementor then you will need ₹ 4000 more.
Note- you cannot use the page builders after you have published many articles on your website, since when you will enable page builders then everything will get automatically changed and it could also de-organize the website layout or design on your website, and neither you cannot delete the page builders once you have activated them on your website.
So for the first year, you will need 12000 ₹ without page builders and with page builders, you will need at least 16000 ₹ on your website, and from the next year, you will need more since these costs are low for the first year.
Side effects for not having the page builders-
Page builders are very essential when it comes to highly customizing the WordPress website; these plugins are powerful enough to give you a satisfactory move in terms of designing and changing the default layout of the website. These plugins help you to have the premium look, and no one can judge that which theme you are using by seeing it. Sometimes we are unable to sketch up the right design for the webpages which we are thinking in our mind, and also the default tools present for designing the pages are not enough capable to design the web pages, so to overcome these problems, you will need page builders since these tools can change any element of your web page and hence giving you the premium look.
Side effects of having the page builders-
There are some limitations of the page builders, such that when you want to use the page builders, then you have to set up these tools from day one, since when you will set up these tools after you have published many articles on your website, then you will feel some major serious problem since your previous designs will also be get changed and also these can alter your previous settings which will have an impact on user experience. And also you cannot delete these page builders and neither changes them since the setting of these tools will also get deleted with them.
Are page builders necessary?
No, page builders are not necessary, you can run your blog with no problem and also you can do better SEO, and also you can earn money by placing ads without using the page builders. The default page builders which you will get from WordPress and your theme provider are also enough to handle all of your tasks, but if you want to have a highly customized theme and pages such that you are desiring to change all the default elements of your web page then you will need page builders. Page builders are required for making commercial shopping websites and many other websites related to selling some kinds of stuff.
