Why Rajshahi creatives don't need a Dhaka address
A senior-led portfolio shop that takes Rajshahi as seriously as Dhaka
The most honest thing a Rajshahi creative ever told me was this: "My work is fine, but every time someone asks for my portfolio I send a Google Drive folder and feel like a student." That is the whole problem on this page. A photographer in Uposhohor with a stunning wedding set, an architecture grad from RUET with real project drawings, a video editor in Kazla landing international clients on Fiverr — all of them sending links and JPGs because they assume a proper portfolio website in Rajshahi either costs a Dhaka fortune or has to be built by a Dhaka agency. Neither is true.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer based in Bangladesh, and I work with Rajshahi clients fully remote — over WhatsApp, Google Meet, and bKash. I have spent close to five years personally building and rebuilding portfolio sites. Not an agency: no account manager, no junior in another city learning on your project, no template marketplace with a new cover photo slapped on. The person you message in the first reply is the same person who designs your homepage, writes the case-study layout, optimises every image, and pushes the site live.
Here is why distance stopped mattering. Rajshahi's creative and academic pool is real and underserved — RU, RUET, Varendra and Rajshahi Medical produce a steady stream of people who need their work presented at a senior level, and the local options are mostly cheap template shops that hand portfolios to juniors as filler between corporate jobs. A portfolio has its own logic — pacing, whitespace, image weight, the order your three best pieces appear in. A shop that mostly builds company websites will give you a portfolio that reads like a corporate brochure. I only build around your actual work, so a hiring manager in Dhaka, Berlin or Toronto understands what you do in the first ten seconds.
Pricing is fixed and posted — no "koto taka?" guessing game, no Dhaka markup hidden in a quote. 50,000 BDT for a focused portfolio site (home, about, work grid, contact). 90,000 BDT for the fuller build most Rajshahi creatives land on — proper case-study pages and a CMS you control yourself. 1,50,000 BDT when you need motion, bilingual Bangla/English, and a custom CMS. Fully custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance to start, 50% on launch, and you sign off on the design before I write a line of code.
