Most businesses in Shillong that come to us have the same problem. They have a website, but it cannot take a booking. So they list on aggregators, and fifteen to twenty-five percent of every reservation goes to the platform. We fix that by building a direct booking system that belongs to you. One of our portfolio projects is a guest house booking system that handles live availability, direct reservations, and an admin panel showing arrivals, departures, and occupancy on one screen. Guests book directly. The property keeps the full amount. This is not a small saving. For a guest house with ten bookings a month, it adds up fast.
We build with PHP and MySQL. That means no page builders, no plugin stacks, no recurring licence fees. Your site runs fast on the hosting you already pay for. When the project is finished, you get the source code and the database. You own everything. There are no lock-in contracts and no hidden charges. If you ever want to move to another developer or host, nothing stops you. We have been MSME registered since 2021 and have delivered over 50 projects. Our office is in Malda, but we serve clients remotely and travel when needed.
For Shillong businesses, we build two things. First, the website: custom design, mobile responsive, and built for how your customers actually search. Second, the marketing. We run local SEO for searches people in Shillong type every day, like "homestay in Shillong" or "tour operator in Meghalaya." We manage Google Business Profile and map rankings so you show up when someone nearby is looking. We also do GEO, which is optimization for AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. This matters because more people now ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. That is where a growing number of local searches now happen. We report on enquiries, not vanity rankings. No one can promise a specific position on Google, and anyone who does is guessing.
Our process is simple. A standard business website takes two to three weeks once your content is ready. A custom management system, like a booking engine, takes four to eight weeks depending on the modules you need. We do not publish fixed packages because the same service costs different amounts depending on what it has to do. You get a clear scope, a fixed written quote, and a real timeline before any work starts. We do not outsource. Everything is done in-house.
Shillong's tourism and local business market is growing. Cafes, homestays, guest houses, and tour operators are busier than ever. The question is whether those bookings come through a platform that takes a cut, or through a website that you own and control. If you want a website design company in Shillong that builds custom code, gives you the source files, and runs the local SEO to bring enquiries, talk to us. We reply within 24 hours. Tell us what you need, and we will tell you exactly what it takes to build it. There is no obligation. No pushy sales call. Just a clear answer on what your project needs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost for a Shillong business?
For a static website, our pricing starts at ₹12,000 and goes up to ₹15,000. That covers a standard business site with a few pages, mobile responsive design, and basic contact forms. For a dynamic website, the range is ₹25,000 to ₹30,000. That includes database-driven features like a content management system, user logins, or a booking engine. A guest house booking system falls under dynamic, and the final cost depends on how many modules you need. Live availability, online payments, and an admin panel each add to the development time. These are not fixed packages. The final quote depends on your specific requirements and the features you choose. We give you a written quote after we understand the scope, and that quote does not change unless you change the scope. There are no hidden charges and no recurring licence fees.
How long does it take to build a website or booking system?
A standard website takes 7 to 15 days from the time your content is ready. That means text, images, and any branding you already have. If you need us to write content or source images, that adds a few days. A booking system falls within the same range if the requirements are clear from the start. A guest house booking system with live availability, online payments, and an admin panel can be built in 7 to 15 days provided we have all the details upfront and you are available for quick feedback during development. The timeline depends on how many modules you need and how fast you can review and approve each stage. We do not outsource, so the timeline we quote is the timeline we work to. You get a real delivery date before we start, not an estimate that slips. Once we begin, we keep you updated at every stage so you always know where the project stands.
I already have a website. Can you redesign it, and what does it cost?
Yes, we redesign existing websites. If you already have a site and want a new look, better performance, or added features, we can rebuild it. The cost for a redesign is ₹15,000 to ₹28,000. That range covers most standard business websites. The final price depends on the size of your current site, how many pages you need, and whether you want static or dynamic features. If your current site is static and you just want a fresh design, it falls at the lower end. If you need to convert it to a dynamic site with a CMS, booking system, or user logins, it goes higher. We can work with your existing content, or we can rewrite and restructure it for better SEO and user experience. We can also migrate your site to the new design without any downtime. You keep your domain and hosting if you want, or we can move it. As with all our projects, you get the source code and database on final payment, and there are no licence fees. The timeline is 7 to 15 days once we have your content and requirements. We will give you a fixed written quote after we review your current site and understand what you need. No hidden charges.
