Website design for small businesses, startups and new companies

Who this page is for

It is for an owner who wants a website that explains the business clearly and makes it easy to call or message, and who would rather hand the work to a team than build it themselves: a shop, a trading business, a workshop, a consultancy, a service business, a manufacturer with a modest range. It is also for founders who have just registered a company and need its first proper website.

If you searched for small business web design, here is what that means with us: a custom design, not a template, built for phones first, in one of three fixed packages. The pricing page lists every inclusion; if something is not listed there, it is not in the package.

What a small business web design agency should give you

Whoever you hire, a small business web design agency should be able to say, in writing, before you pay:

• how many pages you get, and what counts as a page;
• what is not included, such as domain, hosting, email, online payments or advertising;
• who supplies the content and who writes the text;
• whose name the domain, hosting and Google accounts are in;
• what happens after launch: how long faults are fixed, and how changes are made and charged.

Here is how we answer each of those.

Question	Our answer
Pages	20–30 (Essential), 70–100 (Growth) or 100–200 (Complete). A page is a substantive page with its own content and URL.
Not included	Domain, hosting, email accounts, advertising, paid tools, online payments, bookings and customer accounts, unless your written proposal says otherwise.
Content	You supply facts, documents and photographs; who writes the page text is agreed in the written proposal. You approve every page.
Ownership	The site goes live on a domain and hosting in your name. Ownership of design files and code is written into the proposal.
After launch	14, 30 or 45 days of bug support by package; then optional maintenance at ₹3,000–₹6,000 per month, or changes quoted one by one.

SME and MSME websites

For an SME or MSME the website does a specific job: it lets a buyer who has never met you check that you are real, see what you make or supply, and ask for a price. Our SME website development services are the same three packages, scoped to that job. Product or service pages carry the details buyers ask about, and every page has the same enquiry routes: call, WhatsApp, and a form that opens WhatsApp with the details filled in.

If you are comparing an MSME website development company with another, ask each one to show a live site they built for a business like yours and to say exactly what they did on it. Ours are on the Work page: two industrial catalogue sites for related businesses we work with directly, which means they are our own work but not independent client results.

Company profile websites

A company profile website development project is usually the first website a company commissions: who you are, what you do, where you operate, your products or services, and how to reach you. Essential covers this well at 20 to 30 pages. If the profile needs to be found for specific products or services in search, Growth adds keyword planning, structured data and the first month of SEO work.

A website developer for a newly registered company

People often search for a “website developer for newly registered company” work while the registration papers are still fresh. Before you hire anyone, a few things are worth settling:

1. Register the domain in the company’s name, or in yours as director, never in the developer’s. The guide on who owns your website, domain and hosting explains why.
2. Use the registered name exactly as it appears on your documents, so customers and banks can match them.
3. Decide which phone number and WhatsApp account will answer enquiries before the site goes live.

Our new company website creation services follow the same eight steps as every project, from discovery call to handover; the Services page lists what you do and what you get at each one.

Startups

A startup web design agency is useful when the website has to explain a new offer clearly and change as the offer changes. We build information and enquiry websites: a startup that needs a marketing site, product pages and an enquiry route fits. A startup that needs a web application, user accounts, a dashboard or payments needs a product development team; that is not what we offer, and we will say so on the first call. Frontend, backend and what your site needs explains the difference.

How to get a small business website design quote

For a small business website design quote, send us four things by WhatsApp or tell us on a call:

• what the business sells and to whom;
• the address of your current site, if you have one;
• roughly how many products or services you want to show;
• anything you already know you need beyond pages, such as a second language.

We reply with questions or a call time, then a written proposal. The guide on how to ask for a website quotation lists what any complete quotation should contain, ours included. To start, message or call Harman.

Questions people ask

What is the smallest website you build?

Essential: 20 to 30 published pages for ₹19,999, one-time, excluding applicable taxes. It is frontend only, so it does not include SEO services, GA4, Search Console or tracking setup. There is no smaller package. If you only need one or two pages, a website builder may suit you better, and the guide on DIY builders explains when.

We registered the company last month. Is that too early for a website?

No. A newly registered company often needs a website before anything else, because customers, suppliers and banks look it up. What matters is that the facts are settled: your registered name, what you sell, how to contact you. If your offer is still changing every week, start with Essential and grow it later.

Can I update the website myself after launch?

The sites we build are hand-built, without an admin panel, so changes are made by our team. Faults in what was built are fixed during your package's bug-support period (14, 30 or 45 days). After that, small changes come under the optional maintenance plan or are quoted as one-off work. If you or your staff need to edit pages every week, tell us at the start: a site with a content management system may suit you better, and we will say so.

Do you write the text, or do I?

That is agreed in your written proposal: content writing is not automatically included. You always supply the facts (what you sell, to whom, prices if you publish them, documents and photographs) and check every page before launch; the proposal states whether you supply finished text or how much writing we do. We do not invent specifications, certifications, client names or results.

Is MSME or Udyam registration needed to work with you?

No. Any business can work with us. We do not offer special MSME pricing or government-scheme claims; the packages are the same for every business.

How do I get a quote?

Message or call Harman with what the business sells, who buys it and whether you have a site today. After a short call we send a written proposal with the package, scope, price in rupees plus applicable taxes, and the schedule.
