Why "cheap" scares Uttara directors, and how to buy it safely
Cheap corporate website design has a bad name in Uttara because most of it is a bait and switch. The 8,000 to 15,000 taka quote almost always means a nulled premium theme. That is a cracked ThemeForest layout with demo content half swapped, stock handshake photos and a Contact page that quietly breaks. It looks fine in a WhatsApp screenshot, until a buyer in Dubai opens it during a shortlist. Broken English, no leadership, no trade licence, and a 9MB homepage that won't load on hotel wifi.
A year later, the same company pays an agency four to five lakh for the rebuild it tried to avoid. That's expensive in slow motion. There are two honest ways to keep a corporate site cheap, and I use both. First, cut scope, not quality. Build a tight 5 to 7 page site (Home, About, Services or Products, one detail template, Clients, Contact), not a bloated 20-page sitemap. Second, cut overhead. Use one experienced operator instead of sales, PM and junior layers that each take a margin.
That's how the 50,000 BDT tier stays low while the design stays original and the page stays fast. More and more mid-sized corporates put their head office in Uttara. Trading houses, garment buying agencies, IT and BPO firms, and real estate and education groups all choose it. They come for the airport, the road network and the talent pool. Buyers often land at Hazrat Shahjalal and meet you in Uttara first. Your website should match that organised, modern first impression, not undercut it.
When you truly need more, like bilingual content, a careers portal, a news section or ERP or CRM links, that's the 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT tiers. Or it's a custom build from 3,00,000 BDT. I'll tell you up front which one you really need. No upsell theatre.
