What actually makes website maintenance "cheap" in Bangladesh, and what makes it dangerous
Cheap maintenance in BD usually means one of three things, and only one of them is safe. First, there are the 1,000-2,000 BDT/month "packages" you see on Facebook. The math doesn't work: nobody can afford to spend more than 15 minutes a month on your site at that price, so updates get skipped, backups don't exist, and the person disappears the moment something serious breaks.
Second, there are agencies that sell maintenance at 8,000-15,000 BDT but route every ticket through a junior who has never seen your site before, so simple updates take days and broken things stay broken. Third, there is the actually-affordable option: a senior operator who already built or audited your site, runs a tight monthly routine, and charges enough to do the work properly but not enough to need a sales team.
I sit in that third bucket. My maintenance pricing depends on what you have, how active your site is, and how fast you need me when something breaks, but the principle is the same for everyone: I'd rather quote you a fair monthly fee in BDT and actually answer the WhatsApp message at 11pm than win you with a low number and ghost you on the first real incident.
If you're running a WooCommerce store, an active corporate site, or a service business that lives on its contact form, ask me for a written maintenance plan with everything that's in and everything that's not. No retainer fog, no "upon request" clauses, no PayPal-only invoicing that costs you 5% in conversion. Just a plain BDT number, a plain scope, and a real human you can reach in Dhaka time.
