What "cheap" really costs
The cheap web design trap in BD, and how to dodge it
Type "cheap web design bd" and you'll get a wall of 6,000-taka offers, half of them in the comments of a boosted Facebook post. Here's what that money usually buys: a free theme with the demo images still in it and a logo dropped onto someone else's layout. You also get a developer who answers on imo only until your advance clears.
The site looks fine in the screenshot they send, but it looks like everyone else's site the moment you open it on a phone.
I'm RH Fardin, one senior web designer and developer with about five years in the work. I do the design, the build and the launch myself, and I'm not going to pretend I'm the cheapest number you'll see today, because I'm not.
What I am is the person who can take a truly small budget and spend it where it shows. That means a clean, custom layout, a fast load over mobile data and a site you're not embarrassed to put on your visiting card.
My floor is 50,000 BDT, and I'll tell you straight why it isn't lower. Below that price in BD, the only way to make the maths work is to reuse a template, skip the testing and vanish after launch. Then you end up paying a second developer to fix what the first one left.
The tiers go 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as the site grows, and fully custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. You'll know your exact number before we begin.
The way to keep low cost web design honest is to scope it small and build it right, not to scope it big and build it badly. You pay 50% to start and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, with no dollar invoices.
You approve the design on screen before I write a single line of code. That's the design-approval guarantee, and it's the difference between cheap that works and cheap you have to redo.
