FAQ

About these rankings

How are these "best website builder" pages ranked?

Each page scores builders on seven things: value for what is included at the real price after renewals, whether a domain is free, GST invoicing and UPI acceptance, Indian-language support, Google Business Profile setup, support hours in IST, and how easily content can be exported. The industry pages add two or three criteria specific to that trade, such as menu or booking features. Rankings are updated when prices change; the date is on every page.

Why does Neweb rank itself first on most pages?

Because the criteria weight what is included, not the sticker price: AI generation, managed hosting, a free domain, Google Business Profile setup and AI SEO in one plan. Where those do not decide the question, Neweb does not win: Hostinger ranks first for the cheapest site and the cheapest free-domain deal, Shopify and Dukaan for an online store, and WordPress for full control. Those verdicts are stated plainly on the relevant pages.

Where do the competitor prices come from?

From each vendor’s public Indian pricing page or international page converted to rupees, checked in October 2026 and rounded. Neweb’s own prices are quoted in US dollars as billed. Prices shown are the lowest paid tier that includes a custom domain. Promotional first-term rates, long prepay discounts and renewal increases are noted where they change the real cost.

Is there a single "best website builder in India" page?

Yes. The nine-builder comparison at /pages/best-website-builder-india is the master ranking across all use cases. The pages in this hub are narrower: each answers one specific question, such as the best builder for a salon or the cheapest builder with a free domain, so the answer can be more precise.

Can a business switch builders later without losing its site?

Depends on the builder. Neweb exports the full site to WordPress in one click and registers the domain in the customer’s own name. Wix, Squarespace and Shopify do not export themes, only content and products. Hostinger and other WordPress hosts allow a standard WordPress migration. Lock-in is one of the seven criteria on every page here.

Skip the comparison. Get the site.

Neweb generates the site with AI, includes the domain and SSL for a year on managed WordPress hosting, sets up the Google Business Profile and runs AI search optimisation, from $9/month billed yearly ($19 month-to-month). Free plan to preview first; export to WordPress any time.
