Ecommerce, Chattogram-specific
Why a Chittagong seller keeps getting quoted Dhaka prices for a 50,000 BDT store
Sellers looking for affordable ecommerce website development in Chittagong get a lot of quotes from Dhaka. Half come from agencies that have never worked with an Agrabad seller. They price the same 3 lakh package they sell in Gulshan. Then they add a vague line about "serving clients nationwide".
In practice, a junior in Mohakhali builds your store. When the bKash button breaks, you chase a project manager by phone. You pay Dhaka overhead plus the distance, for a store a focused operator can build for 50,000 BDT.
Chattogram sells differently, and everyone in the trade knows it. The buyer here haggles harder. "Port city rate" is a real thing, and the first question is always koto taka. A lot of the stock is import-side. People move goods that came through the port and electronics off the Reazuddin Bazar supply chain.
Others sell clothing and home items that a Khulshi or Nasirabad reseller flips on Facebook long before thinking about a website. The store has to respect that. It should not pretend the seller is a venture-funded startup in Banani.
So here is what affordable means on this page. For 50,000 BDT, you get a real WooCommerce store with a bKash and Nagad personal-merchant flow. Cash on delivery is the default, because most Chattogram buyers still pay that way. You also get courier handoff to Pathao or Steadfast and up to 30 products loaded by me.
The checkout is tuned to load fast on a mid-range Android in CDA Avenue or GEC Circle traffic. Affordable does not mean a nulled theme or a temporary bKash number. It does not mean hosting that the "developer" controls and disappears with.
I work alone, and that is the point. I am the person you call about price, the person who draws the homepage and the person who writes the checkout code. No junior quietly does your build while a senior bills for it. I have about five years of shipping stores for Bangladeshi sellers, including the import-and-resell crowd Chattogram runs on. That taught me where these stores actually leak orders.
If your budget is truly under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up. That is good timing, not a brush-off.
