  Disclaimer   My advice is totally based on my experience in business development and web designing , so in your case it may deviate a bit corresponding to your demographic conditions .  Kindly treat this is as a humble suggestion . As far as my understanding , India is still in a nascent stage in digital era in comparison to western world . There is still a huge potential in Tier 2 / Tier 3 towns in India . That is still not exploited completely  . Few strategy can be worked around the business development for creating Web Site . Choose Tier 2 / Tier 3 Town as the competition is fierce in cities like Delhi / Mumbai / Bangalore / Chennai etc . Chances to grow are very very slim . Focus on Educational Institute / Small Scale Business , as these are the potential customers for which you can develop a website , and academic institutions are more intended to update / upgrade  their website frequently , which opens up another source of revenue by updating the website. e.g. Schools / Engg Colleges / Lookout for Down websites / Unupdated for long time , just lookout for those websites which are not updated for a long time  , call them up , pitch the customers to upgrade them and charge a reasonable sum of money , which will act as a promotional tool for your organization. Believe in word of mouth advertising by improving product quality rather than spending hefty sum of money on advertising . Promote the facebook page of your company to as many as people in your network . Your chances of getting business in small towns (i.e. population < 5 Lacs ) are fair , as customer is relatively new to technology and chances are high that your sales pitch will attract better results . Lastly , be true to your words , it will bring in that  customer loyalty which can not be obtained after multiple promotional campaigns . P.S. The above mentioned steps are totally based on my own industry  experience , in case they are implemented anywhere please have a detailed analyses of the same with stakeholders .
