Cheap, but not throwaway
Why "cheap web application development in Gulshan" usually ends in a rebuild — and how to skip that step
Gulshan is the part of Dhaka where the gap between what a web app should cost and what you get quoted is widest. The offices here run on foreign principals, multinationals, NGOs, embassies down the road, premium retail and F&B — so when a business on Gulshan Avenue asks an established software house for a simple client portal or an internal dashboard, the quote comes back in dollars and starts somewhere north of five lakh.
You flinch, you ask around, and the cheap option appears: a freelancer or a two-person shop on Messenger who says 50,000 to 90,000 BDT for a 'web application.' That number feels survivable, so you sign it. Three months later the dashboard is half-built, the login leaks, two staff saving at once corrupt a record, and the dev has gone quiet. That is not cheap web application development. That is a deposit on a rebuild — and in Gulshan I get the rescue call about once a month.
I am RH Fardin, and I have spent roughly five years building web applications for Bangladeshi businesses — client and vendor portals, internal admin dashboards, booking and appointment systems for clinics and gyms, membership and renewal tools, order desks, reporting panels that pull from bKash, Nagad and local couriers. I work alone, on purpose. There is no sales engineer who pitches you and vanishes, no junior bench learning on your project, no project manager padding the invoice.
That single fact is why I can offer genuinely low cost web application development in Gulshan that is still real software: you are paying for one experienced person's time, not for a glass office on the avenue and four people you will never speak to.
Let me be straight about where the price line actually sits, because the honest number is what protects you. A focused web app — one or two workflows, a clean admin panel, a couple of user roles — fits my tiered builds at 50,000, 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT, with 50,000 BDT the floor.
That covers a surprising amount of what Gulshan offices actually ask for: a portal where clients log in and see their orders or documents, an internal tool that replaces five Excel files, a booking system for a Gulshan clinic or salon, a renewal and member directory for an association.
But if your need is genuinely a full system — multi-branch, role-based permissions, several live integrations, real money moving through it — the honest floor is 3,00,000 BDT, and anyone on the avenue quoting half that for 'custom' is selling you a themed template with no plan for month two. I tell you which side of that line you are on before you pay a single taka.
Pricing is in BDT and it is fixed once we sign — not a dollar figure that quietly grows a phase at a time, which is a habit some Gulshan vendors slip into because so many offices here answer to a foreign head office. Every project is 50% advance, 50% on launch, by bank transfer, bKash or Nagad. Nothing gets coded until you approve the screens and the data flow — that is my design-approval guarantee, and it is exactly how cheap stays cheap, because we catch the expensive misunderstandings on a Figma screen instead of in finished code. On launch day the source code, the database and the server access are yours, in writing.
