Gulshan brands don't need another templated Shopify clone. They need a store that loads fast on a Banani buyer's mobile data, accepts bKash and Nagad without breaking, and looks worthy of the price tag on the product page.
I'm RH Fardin — solo senior designer and developer. I personally design, build and ship every ecommerce site I sign. No juniors, no white-label outsourcing, no "project manager" between you and the person writing the code. Premium ecommerce work for Gulshan boutiques, lifestyle brands and D2C startups starts at 50,000 BDT.
Around 5 years building stores for Bangladesh founders. Design-approval guarantee before a single taka of build work begins.

Walk into most Gulshan ecommerce projects and you'll meet a sales lead, an account manager, a junior designer and someone called a "tech consultant" — none of whom will be writing your checkout code six months from now. That telephone game is exactly why so many Dhaka stores launch with broken bKash buttons, product images that take eight seconds to load on 4G, and admin panels that the owner is scared to touch. I built rhfardin.com as the opposite of that.
When you hire me to design and build your ecommerce site, you get one senior operator with roughly five years of Bangladesh-specific commerce experience — the same person on the discovery call, the wireframes, the visual design, the product schema, the payment gateway integration, and the launch night. If something breaks at 11pm because a customer in Niketan can't complete a Nagad payment, you message me, not a ticket queue.
The Gulshan market is unforgiving in a specific way: your buyers compare you to international DTC brands they shop on Instagram. They notice when your product photography sits on a cheap grid, when the cart drawer animates poorly, when the size guide is a JPEG. I obsess over those details because the buyer in Gulshan-2 absolutely does, and a 200-taka aesthetic mistake on a 25,000-taka product loses the sale.
I don't claim to be "the best" because of a trophy. I claim it because of how the work is structured — senior hands on every pixel and every line of code, transparent BDT pricing, and a design-approval guarantee that means you see and sign off on the full visual direction before I move into build. If you don't love the design, we don't move forward.
Six things that separate a senior-built Gulshan ecommerce site from the average Dhaka template job. Each one is something I've watched go wrong on stores I've been asked to rescue.
Payment gateways integrated and tested with real test transactions — not a half-working plugin a junior copied from a tutorial. Cards via SSLCommerz or AamarPay as a clean second option.
Built to load on a Gulshan buyer scrolling on cellular at a coffee shop, not just your office wifi. Compressed product imagery, lazy-loading, and lean code so the first page renders before they tap back.
Editorial product layouts, considered typography, and photography presentation that holds up next to international D2C brands. Your buyer should feel they're shopping at a real boutique, not a Daraz seller.
Courier-aware checkout with proper Dhaka area selection, COD support, and order data exported in a shape your delivery partner actually accepts — no manual copy-pasting at 2am.
A back-end you can actually run yourself in Bangla or English — add products, change prices, run a sale, pull a report — without phoning a developer every time stock changes.
Every section earns its place. Trust badges where buyers hesitate, size guides where they bounce, WhatsApp/Messenger live chat where Dhaka customers expect to ask one quick question before buying.
When a brand in Gulshan-1 or Gulshan-2 searches for the best ecommerce website design company, they're usually not looking for the cheapest — they're looking for the one that won't embarrass them. The store has to feel premium because the customer base is genuinely premium: expatriates, NGO professionals, business families, returnee Bangladeshis used to shopping Net-a-Porter and Shopee. That buyer will not forgive a pixelated hero image, a checkout that asks for the same information twice, or a confirmation email that lands in spam looking like a phishing attempt.
Best, for this market, means three concrete things: a senior person doing the senior work (so the visual judgement matches the brand), a tech stack that handles Bangladesh payments and couriers natively (so launch day isn't a panic), and a pricing structure honest enough that you know what you're getting. I publish my floor — 50,000 BDT to start, tiers at 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT for templated-but-customised work, and from 3,00,000 BDT for fully custom ecommerce builds. Fifty percent advance via bKash or bank transfer, fifty percent on launch. No moving-target invoices, no "oh, that feature is extra," no junior bait-and-switch after you sign.

Real questions Gulshan founders ask me before signing. Honest answers, no sales-speak.
My ecommerce work starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused store with bKash and Nagad, a small catalogue and the essentials done properly. Mid-tier brand stores sit at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT — bigger catalogue, custom photography layouts, more refined UX. Fully custom builds for established Gulshan brands start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance via bKash or bank, 50% on launch.
Because at most Gulshan agencies, your project is actually built by junior staff while the senior names you met on the pitch deck move on to the next sale. With me, the person who designs your homepage is the same person writing your checkout code and pushing your site live at 2am. No telephone game, no diluted vision, no junior mistakes you discover three months in.
Yes — and I test it with real transactions before launch, not just sandbox calls. Most failed Bangladesh ecommerce sites I've audited had broken or half-configured payment gateways: missing callbacks, wrong amount rounding, no proper failure handling. I treat bKash, Nagad and cards via SSLCommerz or AamarPay as a first-class part of the build, not a plugin you bolt on.
Absolutely. Cash-on-delivery still drives a huge share of Dhaka ecommerce sales, especially for first-time buyers of premium brands. I build checkouts that support COD properly, capture the right Dhaka area/zone for couriers, and export orders in a format Pathao and Steadfast accept without your team manually retyping anything.
Before I touch any build work, you see the full visual design — homepage, product page, cart, checkout — and sign off. If you don't love it after revisions, we don't move into development and you're not locked into a half-built site. It's the opposite of the standard Dhaka pattern where you pay, get something you don't like, and feel trapped because the money is gone.
A focused 50,000 BDT store typically launches in 3 to 4 weeks from advance payment, assuming product photos and copy come in on time. Mid-tier 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT builds run 5 to 7 weeks. Custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT depend on scope and are scoped properly upfront — I'd rather give you an honest timeline than a fictional one you'll resent at week six.
