Cheap website development in Chattogram: priced fairly, built on code you actually own.
I'm RH Fardin. I design, develop and ship every site myself, with no agency and no juniors. Maybe you've been ringing around Agrabad and GEC for a developer. The quotes range from 9,000 to 1,80,000 taka. Here's what nobody explains: most of them aren't building the same thing. This is cheap website development in Chattogram done as real development. You get clean code and hosting in your name, from 50,000 BDT.
From 50,000 BDT. 50% advance by bKash, Nagad or bank, 50% on launch. About 5 years building for Bangladeshi businesses. One senior operator, with a design-approval guarantee.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

The word that trips up most owners looking for cheap website development in Chattogram is "development". Ask around GEC or Agrabad, and half the people quoting you aren't developers at all. They install a free theme, change the colours, drop your logo on top and call it a build. That's why the numbers are so scattered: 9,000 taka here, 1,80,000 there, and no way to tell them apart.
The difference isn't the design you see on screen. It's everything underneath. Real development means code that's built to be changed and hosting you control. It means forms that deliver, and a database that won't choke the day you add your fiftieth product. The cheap quote almost never includes any of that, because the person quoting can't build it.
Chattogram's economy makes this worse than in most cities. So much business here is import, trade and logistics. Think port-side firms, C&F agents, freight and shipping offices, and hardware and machinery importers around Khatunganj and Reazuddin Bazar. These businesses don't need a pretty brochure.
They need a site that holds a real product or service catalogue. It must handle enquiries from buyers in Dhaka or overseas, and load on a phone over patchy port-area 4G. A template developer can't deliver that. Once your list passes a handful of items, or you want a quote form that goes to the right person, the theme fights back. So you pay 9,000 taka, hit the wall in two months, and pay again for a proper rebuild. The cheap option was the most expensive one.
I'm RH Fardin, and I'm the only person who touches your project. I plan it, design it and write the code. I set up the hosting and SSL, connect the forms and do the on-page SEO myself. I've done this for about five years for Bangladeshi businesses: importers, garments suppliers, clinics, schools, real estate firms and shop owners.
I can keep low cost website development in Chattogram truly low because of how I'm set up. There's no office in GEC, no sales layer, no junior practising on your business and no Dhaka-agency markup on top. You pay for the build, not the building it sits in. That's where the saving comes from, not from skipping the work.
And the number holds. I quote one figure before we start, from 50,000 BDT. You pay 50% to begin and 50% the day the site goes live. You approve the design before I write a single line of code. There's no "bhai, eta toh extra" halfway through for the SSL, the contact form or the mobile layout. If every Chattogram developer has given you a different answer to the same question, what you're really buying from me is a straight one.
Cheap doesn't have to mean a template with your logo stretched on top. Here are six things you get at the floor price, and why each one matters for a Chattogram trade or service business.
A clean WordPress or Next.js build chosen for your business, not a marketplace theme with twenty plugins fighting each other. You can extend it next year without a rebuild. That's where most cheap Chattogram sites quietly turn expensive.
Built to hold a real list of products, services or shipments, so a buyer can find the right one fast. The template guy hits a wall at item fifty. A proper build doesn't even notice.
Your buyers open the site on a phone, often on a shaky network between Agrabad and the port. I build and test on the small screen first, on real budget Androids, because that's where the enquiry comes from.
A 'Pay via bKash' block or quote form with proper number masking and a copy button. Customers actually use it instead of calling to ask. Full gateway checkout sits at the 90,000 BDT tier, when you truly need it.
I test the contact form, quote form and WhatsApp click-to-chat on a real mobile connection before launch. SMTP is set up properly. So you never get the 'bhai, keu message korche na' surprise a week later.
The domain and hosting are in your name. You get admin and database access, plus the source code if it's a custom build. Fire me tomorrow and the whole site walks out with you. That part is not up for debate.
Here's the practical problem. Three people in Chattogram quote you for website development, but their numbers describe totally different things. The cheapest one looks like the obvious winner. So ask each of them the same five questions, and watch the prices start to make sense.
Is this custom code or a marketplace theme? Whose name are the hosting and domain in, mine or yours? Does the contact form go to a real inbox, and is it tested? Is on-page SEO done by hand or left to a plugin's defaults? And when something breaks in month two, who answers, and at what cost? The 9,000-taka quote almost always fails these: template, their hosting, untested form, no SEO, nobody answering. It's not a cheaper version of my work. It's a different product wearing the same word.
What I won't do is go below the floor, and here's why. Under 50,000 BDT, nobody in Chattogram is writing clean code, setting up hosting you own and doing real on-page SEO. They won't be around when the form breaks either. They flip a template and move on. My 50,000 BDT tier is a defined package. You get five to seven pages, one round of design changes, a working enquiry system, basic on-page SEO and a 30-day fix window after launch. You can budget for it with no surprise costs.
Need more, like a real shop with checkout, a Bangla-English structure, a catalogue with filters or a booking flow? That's the 90,000 BDT or 1,50,000 BDT tier. Anything truly custom starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That includes a buyer portal, order tracking or a shipment dashboard for a logistics firm. On the first call, I'll tell you which tier your business needs, not which one bills the most.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners ask me before they book the cheap development tier.
My honest floor is 50,000 BDT for a 5 to 7 page site built as real development. You get clean code, a mobile layout, a working enquiry form, basic on-page SEO and a 30-day fix window after launch. You'll find lower quotes around Chattogram, but those are almost always templates with no real code or support. The three tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, based on what your business needs. Truly custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch.
They're not building the same thing. The 10,000-taka quote is a free theme, recoloured, with your logo on it. It has no real code structure, the hosting is on the developer's account, and the form is never tested. Nobody is around when it breaks. My 50,000 BDT is real development: clean code you can extend, hosting and domain in your name, tested forms and hand-done SEO. Over a few years, mine replaces three cheap rebuilds. I'd rather be the honest 50,000 than the 10,000 that ends up costing you 70,000.
At the 50,000 BDT floor, I can build a clean structure for a moderate catalogue. That could be your services, a product range, or a list a buyer can browse. Maybe you're a Khatunganj importer or a port-area trade firm with a large catalogue, filters, or a real order or quote workflow. Then you need the 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT tier, because a template can't hold that without falling over. Real code lets you start at the cheap tier and grow into the bigger build later, without tearing it down.
Yours, always. This is one of the first things to check on any cheap Chattogram quote. I register the domain in your name and set up hosting on an account you own and control. On a custom build, you also get the source code and database access at launch. Cheap template sellers often keep the hosting on their own account, so you stay dependent on them. I work the opposite way. If you ever move on, the whole site goes with you, and nobody holds your cPanel hostage.
Yes. The 50% advance can come by bKash, Nagad, bank transfer (Dutch-Bangla, BRAC, City, EBL), or international wire from outside Bangladesh. That helps the diaspora-owned and overseas-buyer businesses common in Chattogram trade. You get a proper invoice with a transaction reference field, so it goes through your books cleanly. The final 50% is due on launch day, before I point your domain at the live site. There's no third payment and no hidden extra.
No. That's why I build on real code and hand over ownership. Any developer can pick up the site, because it isn't a locked template. Most Chattogram clients stay because changes go to one person who already knows the project: me, on WhatsApp, the same working day. There's also a design-approval guarantee. I send the homepage design before any code. If you truly don't like it after one round of changes, I refund the advance, minus a small fee for the design work done.
