A Freelance Web Designer in Mumbai Who Builds for Enquiries.

Quotes vary enormously because the same words cover very different work. In the Mumbai freelance market you will see everything from a few thousand rupees for a template fill-in to lakhs for a custom build. I quote per project after a short scoping call, because price is driven by page count, how much is custom versus templated, whether your content and images already exist, and what has to be integrated. What I will not do is quote before knowing those things — a number given blind is either padded or gets revised upward later.

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name on your own account, hosting sits in your account, and the files and database are yours. At handover you receive every login, and nothing is kept on my accounts as leverage. This matters more than most people realise: if a designer registers your domain under their own account or hosts your site on their plan, you cannot leave without rebuilding.

A single landing page typically takes one to two weeks. A small business site of five to eight pages usually runs three to five weeks. Larger builds take longer. The variable that delays almost every project is content — text, images, logos and approvals from your side. Projects where content is ready before design starts finish far faster than projects where it arrives page by page.

It depends on who edits it. WordPress makes sense when your team needs to publish and update content without a developer, or when you need a blog, an event calendar or e-commerce. Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript makes sense for landing pages and brochure sites where speed matters more than editability — fewer moving parts means faster loading and nothing to keep patching. I build both, and recommend based on who will maintain the site rather than on what is quicker for me.

Technical SEO foundations are included: clean URLs, one H1 per page, a sensible heading hierarchy, titles and meta descriptions, image alt text, compressed images, schema markup, an XML sitemap, robots.txt and Search Console verification. Ongoing SEO — keyword research, content production, link earning and monthly reporting — is separate work, covered on my SEO, AEO & GEO page. A build gives you a site search engines can crawl and understand; it does not by itself make you rank for competitive terms.

Two full rounds at the design stage and one after build, which covers almost every project when feedback is consolidated rather than sent in fragments. Changes that alter agreed scope — new pages, a different structure, a new direction after sign-off — are quoted separately before any work happens, so nothing reaches an invoice you did not approve first.

It is designed mobile-first, because for most Indian businesses the majority of traffic arrives on a mid-range Android phone. That means layouts built for a narrow screen before the desktop view, tap targets sized for thumbs, no horizontal scrolling, type readable without zooming, and testing on throttled mobile connections rather than only on office broadband.

Yes, and it is worth budgeting for. A website is software: WordPress core, themes and plugins need updating, backups need verifying, forms need checking and security needs watching. I offer a monthly maintenance option covering updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small content changes. You can also decline it and manage the site yourself — you hold every credential either way, so you are never locked in.

Yes. I am based in Diva, Thane and can meet clients across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai in person when it helps, but most work happens over calls and shared documents, and I work with clients across India remotely. Being in the same city is convenient for a kickoff conversation; it has no effect on the quality of the build.

Yes, and it is a specific piece of work rather than an afterthought. Before launch I map every existing URL, set 301 redirects for anything whose address changes, preserve the titles and content of pages that already earn traffic, and watch Search Console afterwards to catch crawl errors early. Redesigns lose rankings when URLs change without redirects and when pages that were ranking get rewritten purely for aesthetics — both are avoidable.
