About this Rajshahi NGO website service
Why a Rajshahi NGO's website has to survive the gap between grants
Here is the problem nobody in the Dhaka agencies designs for. A Rajshahi development NGO is rarely flush. You run on rolling project grants — a three-year PKSF line, a sanitation contract through an INGO partner, a women's-livelihood project funded out of an embassy small-grants fund. When a project closes and the next one has not signed, the website budget is the first thing that vanishes. So the site that was built during a well-funded year sits frozen: the latest annual report is from the last project cycle, the staff page lists a programme coordinator who left two grants ago, and there is no money to call the vendor back. I build for that reality on purpose — a site your own coordinator can keep current with zero rupee budget, so a new donor never lands on a page that looks abandoned.
Rajshahi's development map is also specific, and it shapes the whole build. Your project areas are not abstract — they are Tanore and Godagari in the Barind drought belt, the char villages along the Padma, the border upazilas of Chapainawabganj, the haor-free but flood-and-drought-swung fields of Naogaon, Natore and Joypurhat. A foreign partner doing due diligence wants to see exactly where you work, in upazila-level detail, on a map that loads. A community member in Bagha wants a Bangla page and a phone number that picks up. The same site has to satisfy a programme officer in Geneva and a beneficiary in Charghat, and most templates serve neither.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer based in Bangladesh, roughly five years of building sites end to end, every project handled personally. There is no agency layer and no junior. The person who scopes your work, designs the donation flow, writes the bilingual content structure, wires your bKash merchant number and hands over the admin panel is one person — me. For a Rajshahi non-profit that has been burned by a vendor who took the advance and went quiet, that single accountable phone number is the entire point. When your monitoring officer messages at 9pm because a partner audit visit is tomorrow and the financials page is out of date, the person who fixes it is the person who built it.
Pricing is posted, not quoted by mood, because grant-funded organisations have to budget to the taka. The floor is 50,000 BDT for a clean bilingual NGO site with an About, programme pages, a basic give page and contact. 90,000 BDT adds live bKash and Nagad giving plus a structured projects-and-reports archive. 1,50,000 BDT is the full donor-grade build with a transparency centre, beneficiary-stories module, multilingual CMS and SEO setup. Custom work — an M&E dashboard, a federation site for several partner NGOs, a donor portal — starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance via bKash, Nagad or bank, 50% on launch, and I do not write production code until you approve the design in writing.
