A website for your small business — start small, grow into it
Most small businesses in India need a website for three things: to be found on Google, to look trustworthy when a customer checks, and to get enquiries on WhatsApp. HimX builds that kind of website with AI for ₹100 once, from your photos and answers. When you are ready to take orders, bookings or payments online, HimLocal for Business runs the full system on a yearly plan.

What your website must do
- Say what you sell and where, in the first screen: "Homestay in Tirthan Valley — 4 rooms, river view, meals included".
- Show real photos of your place, food, rooms or products — not stock pictures.
- Put WhatsApp and call buttons where a thumb can reach them.
- Give your address and a map, so local searches can find you.
- Open fast on a phone, on a weak signal.
Start for ₹100 with HimX
HimX asks what kind of business you run (café, homestay, shop, trek or tour operator, contractor and more), takes your photos and a few answers, and builds a site with the sections that business needs. Enquiries come straight to your WhatsApp. The ₹100 site is a shop window: it shows and it takes enquiries, but it does not take payments.
- A complete website made from your CV, photos and answers — home page, sections, contact and enquiry buttons — in English or Hindi.
- Your own address: ai-yourname.himx.in.
- 500 AI credits to change it by chat ("make the photos bigger", "add my new phone number"). Clicking to edit text and photos is free.
- Up to 20 of your own photos and 2 short videos. HimX does not make AI pictures; the designs are drawn in code.
- Live for 1,000 visits or one year, whichever comes first. A yearly plan keeps it after that.
- Enquiries come to you on WhatsApp, a call or a form. The ₹100 site does not take payments.
When you need more than a shop window
If you want customers to order, book or pay on your website — and you need billing at the counter — that is a system, not a page. HimLocal for Business builds it on one yearly plan, with payments settling straight to your own bank account:
| Your business | What it adds | Launch price |
|---|---|---|
| Café or restaurant | Online ordering, QR at the table, kitchen tickets, GST billing | ₹5,000 / year |
| Hotel or homestay | Direct booking website, room calendar, front desk, GST invoices | ₹10,000 / year |
| Shop | Online store, stock, courier tracking, GST invoices | ₹10,000 / year |
| Studio or professional | A showcase website on your own domain, more visits | ₹5,000 / year |
Prices from partner.himlocal.com/pricing, plus GST. Details and the free café billing plan are on that page.

Questions people ask
What is the cheapest way to get a website for my shop?
For a shop window — who you are, photos, location and a WhatsApp button — HimX builds it with AI for ₹100 once, including the address and hosting. For an online store with checkout and stock, HimLocal's retail plan is ₹10,000 a year.
Can customers pay on the ₹100 website?
No. The ₹100 HimX site shows your business and sends enquiries to your WhatsApp, phone or a form. Online payments, orders and bookings come with a HimLocal for Business yearly plan, where money settles straight to your own bank account.
Do I need a website if I have Instagram?
Instagram is good for showing new work, but Google rarely shows an Instagram profile for "café near me" or "homestay in Kasol". A website with your name, place and photos is what search engines and AI answer engines can read and recommend.
Can I start with HimX and upgrade later?
Yes. Start with the ₹100 site; when you want to keep it past 1,000 visits or a year, or add orders, bookings and billing, move to a yearly plan. HimLocal will help you move.
