Web development services
that outlive the handover.

Most web development services sell you a launch date. We sell you the parts nobody quotes for: the migration, the redirects, the performance budget, and a build your own team can edit after we leave. Gatilab has shipped custom WordPress, ecommerce, and web application work for 850+ clients since 2014.

850+ clients served
$38M+ in client revenue influenced
10,000+ sites running our plugins

You keep the code, the hosting account, and every login in your own name. We do not resell hosting, so leaving is never the same as migrating.

Three ways in, priced before you call.

Pick by how much of the build is genuinely unknown. Prices are in rupees and exclude tax. International clients are billed the dollar equivalent for the same scope.

Scoping sprint
from ₹27,000

For teams inheriting a site, taking over a stalled project, or deciding between a repair and a rebuild.

  • Code, plugin, and database audit on the live site
  • Performance traced to the query or asset causing it
  • Migration and redirect risks named before they bite
  • A build estimate with the assumptions written down
Book a scoping sprint

The fee comes off the build price if you go ahead with us. International clients are billed $900.

Most chosen
Custom build
from ₹72,000

For businesses whose site is the main sales channel and cannot afford another rebuild in 2 years.

  • A component system, not a page builder mess
  • Performance budget agreed before the first template
  • Redirects mapped from the old site so rankings survive
  • Staging environment your team can review on
  • Handover with documentation and no lock-in
Scope a build

If a rebuild is not warranted, we quote the repair instead and it is cheaper. International clients are billed from $2,400.

Ecommerce build
from ₹2,55,000

For stores where downtime, checkout friction, or stock errors cost money the same day.

  • Checkout built and tested against real Indian payment methods
  • Stock, variants, and tax handled before launch
  • Load tested at the traffic you actually expect
  • Analytics and abandoned cart tracking wired in
  • A launch runbook, because launch day is when stores break
Scope a store

If your volume does not justify a custom store yet, we say so and name a platform. International clients are billed from $8,500.

Development is delivered remotely, so location changes meeting times and payment method rather than price. Hosting is never resold. Ecommerce work is detailed on the ecommerce development page, and integration work on the API integration page.

What is actually in each package.

The same table we work from internally. If a line is not ticked, it is not in the price, and we would rather you saw that here than found it in week 6.

Taxes are extra and always printed. Every track opens with the scoping pass, because an honest build price depends on what is already there. If the audit shows a rebuild is not warranted, we quote the repair instead and it costs less.

Rebuilds fail on the parts nobody quoted for.

Three failures account for most of the web development projects we are asked to rescue. All 3 are scoping problems wearing technical costumes.

01

The quote skipped the migration

Redirects, content mapping, and the half-broken integrations nobody documented are where rebuilds overrun. They are also the first things left out of a fixed price, because they are the hardest to estimate without reading the code.

02

Every change needs a developer

A build that only the agency can edit is a build you will pay for twice. If your marketing team cannot ship a landing page without a ticket, the site is a bottleneck wearing a nice header.

03

Nobody agreed what fast means

Performance gets promised and never defined. Without a budget written down before the first template, the site ships at whatever speed it happens to land on, and the argument starts after launch.

Six services, each bookable on its own.

Most engagements start with one and add the others once the first has paid for itself.

Custom WordPress development

WordPress built as a real component system with version-controlled themes and purpose-built blocks, so your editors change pages without filing a ticket. No page builder sprawl, no 40 plugins holding the layout together.

Block themesCustom blocksACFHeadless WP

Ecommerce development

WooCommerce stores scoped around the checkout rather than the catalog. Payments, stock, variants, and tax are settled before launch, because those are the parts that cost money the same day they break.

WooCommerceRazorpayCheckout UXLoad testing

Web application development

Dashboards, portals, booking flows, and internal tools. We scope the data model first and the interface second, which is the reverse of how most quotes are built and the reason ours hold.

REST APIsPortalsDashboardsIntegrations

Website migration and replatforming

Moving off Wix, Squarespace, Drupal, or an abandoned custom stack without losing rankings. Redirects are mapped from a full crawl of the old site, tested on staging, and shipped with the launch rather than after it.

Redirect mappingReplatformingContent migrationSEO safe

Performance and Core Web Vitals

Slowness has a cause you can point at, usually a query, an unbounded asset, or a plugin doing work on every request. We trace it to the line rather than installing another caching layer over the problem.

Core Web VitalsCachingQuery profilingAsset budgets

Maintenance and support retainers

Updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and security patching on a schedule, with a named person who answers. Retainers are month to month, because a maintenance contract you cannot leave is a hostage situation.

What we build with.

Chosen because they stay maintainable for whoever comes after us, not because they are new. Most builds are the WordPress column. We reach for the JavaScript column when the front end genuinely needs it, and we say so when it does not, because headless roughly doubles what you have to maintain.

Four stages, each ending in something you can hold.

Overruns come from work nobody scoped. Every stage below produces an artifact you check before the next one starts.

  1. 01

    Audit and scope

    We read the existing code, the database, and the hosting before quoting. Most of the risk in a rebuild is invisible from the front end, so pricing it without looking is a guess dressed as a number.

    You leave with: a scope with the assumptions and risks written down

  2. 02

    Build on staging

    Everything is built and reviewed on a staging environment your team can reach. You see the site grow weekly instead of getting a reveal at the end and a week to react to it.

    You leave with: a staging URL you can click through as it grows

  3. 03

    Migrate without losing rankings

    Redirects are mapped from a crawl of the old site, tested, and shipped with the launch. This is the stage most agencies skip and the one most post-launch traffic losses trace back to.

    You leave with: a redirect map plus a before and after crawl

  4. 04

    Handover and watch

    We monitor errors, crawl stats, and Core Web Vitals under real traffic for 2 weeks. Problems surface when actual people use the site, not during internal testing.

    You leave with: documentation, every account in your name, and a post-launch report

Bolt-ons, quoted against your scope.

None of these are bundled into the headline price, because most projects do not need all of them. You see what each one costs and can decline it.

  • Design system and UI

    A component library with locked styling, so marketing assembles new pages from approved parts without a deploy and without drifting off brand.

  • Technical SEO at launch

    Schema, crawl budget, internal link structure, and indexation checked before the site goes live rather than diagnosed 3 months later.

  • Analytics and conversion tracking

    Events wired into the build against the real funnel, so you can tell which step loses people instead of guessing.

  • Multilingual and multi-region

    Translation workflow and correct hreflang. Priced separately because the cost sits in the workflow, not the templates.

  • Security hardening

    Least-privilege access, 2FA, hardened file permissions, and a patch schedule. Standard on ecommerce, optional elsewhere.

  • Email and automation

    Transactional email that actually arrives, plus the sequences that run after a form submission or an abandoned cart.

What good looks like 6 months after launch.

A web development engagement is worth what it leaves behind, not what it looked like on launch day.

500M+search impressions generated across client work since 2008

The test we apply to our own builds is simple. Six months after handover, can the client ship a new page without calling us, and is the site still as fast as the day it launched? If the answer to either is no, the build was scoped wrong.

What lands in your account

  • Editors ship pages without a developer
  • Core Web Vitals still passing under real traffic
  • Redirects holding, with no 404 drift
  • Every account and credential in your name
  • Documentation your next hire can read
  • A dependency list short enough to maintain

Worth booking, or worth looking elsewhere.

Development is where vague quotes do the most damage. Half of this list is reasons we say no.

Worth booking

  • Your site earns money or generates the leads that do
  • You can name 1 person who approves technical decisions
  • You want the migration quoted rather than discovered
  • You would rather hear a scope is uncertain than get a confident wrong number
  • You want to keep owning your hosting, code, and accounts

Look elsewhere

  • Your budget is under ₹27,000. Below that we cannot audit the site honestly, and a build quoted without an audit is a guess.
  • You want a fixed price before anyone has read the code. Whoever gives you one is pricing in the risk, and you are paying for it.
  • You need it live in 2 weeks. Migrations compress badly and rankings pay the bill.
  • You want us to host it. We do not resell hosting, on purpose.
  • You want the cheapest possible build. That is a real option, and it is not what we are for.

Web development questions, answered.

Scope, cost, timelines, rankings, hosting, and how we work alongside an existing team.

What do web development services include?

Our web development services cover 6 things: custom WordPress development, ecommerce builds on WooCommerce, web application work such as portals and dashboards, migration and replatforming, Core Web Vitals and performance work, and ongoing maintenance retainers. Every engagement opens with a scoping pass, because what a build costs depends on what is already there.

How much does a website cost in India?

Our published floors are ₹27,000 for a scoping sprint, ₹72,000 for a custom build, and ₹2,55,000 for an ecommerce store, plus taxes. International clients are billed in dollars at $900, $2,400, and $8,500. The final number depends on template count, integrations, and how much of the existing stack has to survive the move.

How long does a web development project take?

A scoping sprint runs 1 to 2 weeks. A custom build is typically 6 to 10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Ecommerce runs longer because payments, stock, and tax need real testing. We quote a timeline per scope rather than a standard number, and we will tell you when a deadline is not achievable instead of agreeing and missing it.

Do you work with our existing developer or in-house team?

Yes. We hand over tickets, review pull requests, and validate outcomes without taking over the repository. Plenty of engagements are us doing the parts a small in-house team does not have bandwidth or specialist depth for, such as a migration or a performance rescue.

Will a rebuild hurt our search rankings?

It can, and that is usually a redirect problem rather than a design problem. We crawl the old site, map every URL, test the redirects on staging, and ship them with the launch. We also run a before and after crawl so any loss is visible immediately rather than in next quarter reporting.

Do you host the websites you build?

No, deliberately. We do not resell hosting, so leaving us never means moving your site. You own the code, the hosting account, and the domain in your own name from day one. We will recommend a host and configure it, but the account is yours.

Which cities do you serve?

We work remotely with clients across India and internationally. There are dedicated pages for 12 major metros linked above, plus a wider index covering 106 cities. Location affects meeting times and payment method, not the work itself.

THE WORKING PROBLEM

Why most websites quietly fail

The visible symptom is rarely the whole problem. These are the failure points we look for before recommending tools, tactics, or a rebuild.

Invisible on Google
A pretty site with no SEO structure is a billboard in the desert. The architecture decides whether Google can rank you at all.
Slow and bloated
Page builders stack nested divs and load scripts you never use. That weight hurts Core Web Vitals, rankings, and revenue at once.
The telephone game
Agencies put account managers between you and the coder. Details get lost, timelines slip, and your vision gets watered down.
Stores that don't sell
Slow product pages, clunky checkout, and broken tracking. A store that loses customers at the cart is just an expensive brochure.
Locked into bad tools
Themes and builders that trap your content mean every future change is a fight. Clean code keeps you free to grow.
No measurement
No analytics, no events, no idea what converts. You can't improve a site you're flying blind on.

WHAT THE SCOPE INCLUDES

What you get

A custom build scoped to your goals, not a template with your logo dropped on top. SEO-first, fast, and yours to own.

Where you are → where you'll be

  • Custom WordPress development with clean, maintainable code
  • WooCommerce, Shopify, or headless stores built to convert
  • SEO-first architecture Google can crawl and rank
  • Speed optimization for Core Web Vitals out of the box
  • Responsive design tested across real devices and browsers
  • Analytics and event tracking wired in from day one
  • Git workflow, REST APIs, and integrations your project needs
  • A direct line to the developer, no account-manager middlemen

HOW THE WORK MOVES

How we work together

The work follows a clear sequence, so you can see what happens before, during, and after implementation.

  • 01 Audit and proposal we audit your current setup, research competitors, and send a detailed proposal with scope, timeline, and fixed pricing.
  • 02 Design and build we design and develop together, no middlemen, so the build matches the vision instead of a watered-down version of it.
  • 03 Optimize and test Speed, SEO architecture, responsive behavior, and tracking, verified on real devices before anything goes live.
  • 04 Launch and support we ship the site, wire up analytics, and stay available so the build keeps performing after launch.

BUILT AROUND THE OUTCOME

Web development that's fast, custom, and yours

We build websites on clean, standards-based code, fast, secure, and easy to maintain, so your site is a business asset, not a slow, fragile template you're stuck with. 18 years and 800+ builds behind every project.

Custom, not templated
Sites built to your needs and brand on clean code, so they stay fast and flexible instead of fighting a bloated theme or builder.
Fast and SEO-ready
Performance, SEO, and security built in from the start, so the site ranks and converts rather than needing rescue after launch.
A developer you can reach
You work directly with the person building your site, so decisions are fast and nothing gets lost in agency handoffs.

DECISION QUESTIONS

Web Development Services FAQ

These answers cover fit, scope, delivery, and ownership before we discuss a proposal.

What web development services do you offer?

Custom websites, WordPress and WooCommerce builds, web apps, headless setups, integrations, performance and security work, and ongoing maintenance. From a single feature to a full custom site, built on clean, fast, standards-based code.

Do you build custom sites or use templates?

Custom builds for anything serious, so the site is fast, on-brand, and maintainable. We'll use a quality theme when the budget calls for it, but we won't ship a bloated template that costs you speed and flexibility later. The approach fits your goals and budget.

What platforms do you build on?

Mostly WordPress, where we go deepest as a core contributor, plus custom stacks and modern frameworks for web apps and headless builds. We recommend the platform that fits your needs rather than forcing one on every project.

Will my website be fast and SEO-friendly?

Yes. Speed, clean structure, and SEO fundamentals are built in from the start, not bolted on later. A slow or poorly structured site undercuts everything else, so performance and search-readiness are part of the build.

Can you fix or rebuild an existing site?

Yes. A lot of our work is improving slow, insecure, or messy sites, auditing what's there, fixing the real issues, and refactoring toward something maintainable rather than rebuilding unnecessarily.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. Every build includes handover, and we offer ongoing maintenance, updates, security, and performance monitoring so the site keeps running well long after it goes live.
