Senior WordPress, not the 5,000-taka kind
Why Bashundhara businesses keep getting burned by "cheap" WordPress
There is a reason WordPress has a bad reputation among serious operators in Bashundhara R/A, and it is not WordPress's fault. Because the platform is free and the YouTube tutorials are everywhere, half the neighbourhood believes any cousin with a laptop can install a theme and call it a website.
So the diagnostic chamber near the Apollo corridor pays 8,000 taka, gets a pirated Envato theme with the demo content barely swapped out, and ends up with a homepage that loads four sliders and a chat widget nobody answers. The developer firm off the 300 Feet road buys a 'premium WordPress package' that turns out to be the same page builder template their competitor two blocks over is also running. WordPress did not fail them. The person who treated it as a 5,000-taka commodity did.
Used properly, WordPress is still one of the smartest choices a Bashundhara business can make — your front desk can update a price, swap a banner before a fair at ICCB, or publish a notice without calling a developer, and it costs nothing in licence fees year after year. The catch is that the gap between WordPress built badly and WordPress built well is enormous, and it is almost entirely invisible until six months in. A bad WordPress site looks identical to a good one in a screenshot.
The difference only shows up when the site has to load on a Walton phone over patchy Bashundhara mobile data, survive a plugin update, or let a non-technical staff member make a change without taking the whole thing down. That gap is the entire job, and it is senior work, not a weekend hobby.
I work alone on purpose, and on WordPress specifically that matters more than people expect. Every theme decision, every plugin I do or do not install, every WooCommerce or bKash setting is something I personally chose and can debug from memory.
Around five years of building production WordPress for Bangladesh businesses — a good chunk of it inside the Bashundhara, Baridhara and Jamuna Future Park corridor — has taught me which plugins are worth their weight on a local business site and which forty of them are quietly dragging your page speed into single digits. There is no junior copying a brief second-hand, and no account manager forwarding your 'the contact form stopped working' message to a queue.
There is me, and your site, and a WhatsApp thread where the person replying is the person who wrote it.
Pricing is honest and scoped against real tiers, with nothing buried. A clean, fast, mobile-first WordPress build starts at 50,000 BDT. 90,000 BDT buys a fuller multi-section site with a blog, deeper SEO setup and proper lead capture. 1,50,000 BDT is a content-deep build — detailed service or project pages, WooCommerce, custom post types, or a real booking and enquiry flow. Genuinely custom work — membership areas, multi-language, heavy integrations, anything that outgrows a normal WordPress build — starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Terms stay simple: 50 percent advance to lock your slot, 50 percent on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. And no production code gets written until you have approved the design in writing — that is the guarantee, not a marketing line.
