A friend told me he found a service offering website development for ₹500/month.

Sounds like a great deal, right? I told him not to go for it. Because here’s what usually happens with these models:

• Same template reused for dozens of clients
• Built by interns or fully AI-generated with minimal thought
• Slow performance and poor structure
• Weak or delayed support once they scale clients

And the real cost shows up later:

• Low conversion from ads become of poor user experience
• Eventually rebuilding the entire website

I said “ You don’t save money.You just delay the expense.” He took the advice.

In software, cheap is rarely cheap. It’s usually expensive in disguise.

What do your past experience says ?
