Selling online is within reach for a small business. The key is starting simple, choosing the right platform and making buying easy.
- ✓ Scope & price in writing
- ✓ You own your website
- ✓ Direct contact, no middlemen
- ✓ Websites from ₹9,999
Agency ranges are typical prices from public 2026 guides (see the full comparison and sources). Savings are calculated from those ranges against my published starting prices. Final price depends on scope, quoted in writing first.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online store cost in India?
Shopify setup starts from ₹7,999 here. Shopify's own subscription and payment fees are extra.
Do I need a GST number to sell online?
Rules depend on your products and turnover. Check with a chartered accountant for your case.
Can I add products myself later?
Yes. Platforms like Shopify are built so you can add and edit products yourself.
Can you handle photos and designs?
I offer graphic design from ₹499 per creative, which can be used for banners and product creatives.
Can you build my website in Hindi, English or other languages?
Yes. I can write and build your site in Hindi and English, and every website includes a one-tap translator for 130+ languages, so visitors can read it in their own language.
Does the website include an AI chatbot and an admin panel?
Yes, both are included. The chatbot answers visitor questions about your business around the clock, and the admin panel lets you edit text, photos and prices yourself.
Why are your prices much lower than agencies, and is the quality lower too?
I design and build everything directly, so there is no office, account manager or team markup in your price. Websites start from ₹9,999, while public 2026 guides put typical agency business sites at ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000. The work is still fast, mobile-first and SEO-ready, and you own the files.
Can visitors change the colour theme or see prices in their currency?
Yes. Visitors can switch between 9 colour themes, and prices can be shown in 150+ currencies, which helps international customers.
Why should I choose Hasnain Ansari for online store for small business?
You work directly with a full stack developer who handles design, code, hosting and launch, with a fixed written quote, live projects you can test, awards and certification, and clients across India and abroad.
Every week without a proper website is a week of enquiries going elsewhere.
Tell me what your business needs. You get a clear scope, price and timeline in writing, and you decide.
