Where the 50,000 BDT actually goes
When a Dhaka founder messages me asking what an affordable ecommerce site really costs, the very first follow-up is almost always koto taka, koto din e ready hobe and ki ki thakbe. The honest answer is that the 50,000 BDT is split roughly into design, build, payment and courier setup, and launch SEO.
Around 40 percent of the work is design and content structuring, where I take your existing product photos, categories and offers and turn them into a layout that your buyer can scan on a phone in under ten seconds. Around 30 percent is the actual build on a fast, low-maintenance stack, with the catalog, cart, checkout, COD flow and bKash and Nagad screens wired up.
The last 30 percent is the part most cheap quotes skip entirely: product schema, Pixel, GA4, sitemap, a basic transactional email, courier-ready export, and a launch checklist you sign off on.
What 50,000 BDT does not buy you in Dhaka, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises it, is a fully custom enterprise platform with a mobile app, ERP sync, multi-warehouse stock control and live chat from 20 agents. That work exists, but it lives in the 3,00,000 BDT and above custom range.
For roughly 90 percent of new and growing Dhaka sellers, especially those running 50-300 orders a month from Facebook ads and organic, the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range is the right zone. The payment structure is 50 percent advance and 50 percent on launch, designs are locked only after you formally approve them, and I do not start charging hosting or monthly fees unless you ask me to manage them.
