Why make an online boutique website?
If you have your Facebook page and do regular live on Facebook, run a boutique business from it then why do you make a separate website?
Here are the reasons:
1. By building a boutique website, you can sell more than one item. For example, someone comes to your website after watching your Facebook Live to buy a saree. Now they can buy any jewelry or bag matching that saree from your website. This way you can get additional sales.
2. Whenever someone buys something online from your website, you will get their Name, Email, and Phone/Whatsapp Number. In the future, you can contact them through email or WhatsApp to buy any new product or promote some offer.
3. If for some reason your Facebook page gets hacked or suspended then you can run the business through the Name Email database you have already created through the website.
4. It will help you a lot in building the trust of your business.
5. According to Statista, e-commerce apparel sales will drastically increase day by day.
Hope you have understood what is the importance of a website for your boutique business.
Now I will discuss
How much does it cost to build a proper boutique website?
The cost of building a website depends on the following factors:
1. Domain Hosting
2. Software Used
3. Development Cost
1. Domain Hosting:
You must be familiar with these two words domain hosting already.
For those who are not familiar, the domain is the name of the website, for example: Google .com. Hosting is where the files of that website are kept.
Domain hosting can be purchased for one year or more. The longer you buy, the lower the cost.
In addition, some hosting companies provide free domains for the first year, such as Hostinger.
Their ‘Single Plan’ provides a free domain for 1 year for approximately 2,200 INR as of today.
2. Software Used:
Some software is needed to create a website. For example WordPress, Shopify etc..
The function of this software is to manage the website properly.
So that a customer can come to your website and buy things by paying money. After depositing the money in your bank account you will send the products through courier.
This software is again of two types, paid and free.
In my opinion, when you are building a website for the first time, it is better to start with free software.
For example, WordPress is a free software.
I am using WooCommerce for the development of an online boutique website.
3. Development cost:
Since a boutique website is an e-commerce website and money is transacted through it, you can’t build it by yourself.
You need to take the help of someone who is or is skilled in creating these websites.
They talk to you and build the website according to your needs.

Cost of creating a boutique website:
Start at Rs 2500 per year for domain hosting. You have to pay for it every year.
And 15,000 rupees minimum cost for development. It is a one-time cost. It depends on what features your website has, and how complex your website is.
Now the question arises can I create an online store website free?
The answer is No. Most of the popular platforms not like Shopify offered free plans.
How to earn from an online shopping website?
Having spent so much to build a website, the question naturally arises in your mind of how to earn from a boutique website.
Let’s find out:
1. The more people come to the website, the more your sales will be. You can use Facebook Live for this.
2. Apart from this, you can also create a reel on Instagram and get traffic from there.
3. You can use SEO to bring traffic to your website. For example, someone searched ‘Online boutique website India’ on Google. If your website is at the top of the first page then many people will come to your website and you will get some sales. But keep in mind that ranking a website through SEO is a time-consuming matter.
4. During any festival like Durga Puja, you can run an ad on Facebook and bring traffic to the website from there. But during any festival, the cost of Facebook ads is more than at other times.
