Why publishers across Bangladesh keep calling me
Half the news portals in Bangladesh are the same nulled theme with a different logo - that is the whole problem
Here is the pattern I see on almost every news portal handed to me for a rebuild: a 70-dollar marketplace theme everyone in BD is running, six ad popups that fire before the headline renders, Bangla set in a broken SolaimanLipi fallback that shows conjuncts as boxes on an older Walton phone, and an origin server sitting in Singapore with no CDN, so a reader on Teletalk 4G in Dinajpur stares at a spinner for eleven seconds and leaves. The owner paid 18,000 BDT for it, the developer stopped replying in month four, and Google News rejected the application twice. That portal is not a publication - it is a liability with a domain name. This page exists because I have rebuilt that exact site for publishers in too many districts to count.
I work as one senior operator. No agency floor, no junior touching your code, no project manager forwarding your WhatsApp messages to someone in another timezone. When your night-shift sub-editor pings me at 1 AM because the breaking-news slot will not update during election results, the person who answers is the person who wrote that slot. Around five years of building for Bangladeshi clients has taught me what a news portal actually has to survive: a 5x traffic spike when a national story breaks, a reporter typing in Avro on a mid-range phone from the field, and an ad network that pays Bangladeshi CPM rates where every wasted impression is money you never see.
Being the best news portal website company in BD, for me, is not a listicle ranking - most of those 'top 10 web company in Bangladesh' pages are link-built by SEO interns and tell you nothing about who fixes your homepage on a Friday night. It means I refuse to ship the things that quietly kill a portal: a 600 KB hero slider, twelve render-blocking ad scripts, fonts loaded from three CDNs instead of subset to Bangla glyphs and self-hosted, and a category structure copied from an Indian portal that has nothing to do with how your readers in Khulna or Rangpur actually browse. I write the markup, I subset the fonts, I configure the caching, and I sit on a handover call until your reporter can publish without me.
Pricing is fixed and printed, in BDT, payable by bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer. A clean single-section portal starts at 50,000 BDT. The 90,000 BDT tier adds multi-category architecture, a breaking-news ticker, newsletter capture, and Google News-ready schema. The 1,50,000 BDT tier is the full national-style portal with author profiles, advanced ad management, and traffic-spike caching. Fully custom builds - paywall, member login, a mobile-app content API, or a video-heavy desk - start at 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance to begin, 50% on launch, and I do not write a line of code until you approve the design in writing.
