These days, you’ll often spot ads along the roadside saying: “Get a website for just ₹1499!” Intrigued and a bit skeptical, I decided to find out how a full website could cost less than a decent dinner.
So, I called one of these companies.
Here’s the deal: for ₹1499, they offer you a static single-page website built using a generic template they’ve purchased from online digital product marketplaces. No custom design. No personalization. No SEO. Just a copy-paste job.
When I asked about SEO, they said it’s not included—because SEO requires code-level optimization, which costs extra. Want the website SEO-ready or even just basic SEO? That pushes the final cost to around ₹8999.
That’s when it hit me: the ₹1499 offer is just a bait. The real pitch starts once you’re on the phone. They upsell you from a barebones template site to something more advanced—basically what we already offer as standard at Ishna Webtech Solutions. (www.ishnaenterprises.com )
Now, there’s nothing wrong with using smart marketing. But this approach misleads clients into thinking a complete, professional website should only cost ₹1499. In reality, quality takes skill, time, and strategy.
So if you’re building your digital identity, choose transparency, quality, and value—not shortcuts.
