How to actually compare website companies in BD (a 5-minute filter)
You may be shortlisting the "best" or top website design and development company BD buyers talk about. Ignore the homepage tagline, because everyone writes the same one. Ask harder questions instead. First, ask who, by name, will design and build your site, and whether you can talk to them directly. If the answer is vague, or you only ever meet a salesperson, you've found a hand-off shop.
Second: "Do I approve the design before you start coding?" If there's no clear sign-off step, expect arguments at launch. Third: "What's the total price, in writing, and what's the payment schedule?" A real operator gives you a number and tiers. A flaky one gives you "it depends" forever.
Run those three questions on every name on your list, including mine. With me, the answers are simple. You talk to me, RH Fardin, because I'm the only person on the project. And you sign off on the design before a single line of build work happens. That is guaranteed.
The price is one of three clear tiers: 50,000, 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% to start and 50% on launch by bKash, Nagad or bank. That clarity is what "best" should feel like before you've paid a taka.
