Most college websites in Dhaka are not designed badly. They are developed badly, and that only shows up the week admission opens.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior website designer and developer. I do college website development in Dhaka end to end myself. That covers the admission section, notice board CMS, results display, faculty and department pages, and the printable application form. No agency, no juniors, and no handoff to someone who has never built a college site. Builds start from 50,000 BDT, paid 50% advance and 50% on launch. A design-approval guarantee comes before a single line of code.
One senior operator. About five years developing Bangladesh websites. The developer who writes your notice board code is the same person who replies on WhatsApp when it breaks at 11 PM.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Open the network tab on almost any Dhaka college site the night HSC results drop. You will see the real problem. A 4 MB hero image. Twelve separate font files. A jQuery slider loading three libraries to fade one photo of the principal. A notice board that is really a folder of JPG screenshots, uploaded one by one. Good college website development in Dhaka fixes exactly this.
None of this is a design flaw. It is a development flaw. It stays hidden until a guardian in Mirpur opens your admission notice. She is on a three-year-old Android phone on Banglalink 4G, and she gives up after eight seconds. College web design in Dhaka gets all the attention. The development underneath is where colleges quietly lose applicants.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer. I have spent about five years building sites across Bangladesh, education included. I separate development from design here on purpose. When a Dhaka college pays for a website, the pretty homepage is the easy 30 percent. The hard 70 percent is the part nobody demos in the sales meeting. That is development, and that is where I spend my time.
It is a results system a student can search by roll number. It is an admission form that emails the office reliably instead of silently failing. It is a notice CMS your office assistant can run from a phone. It is page weight light enough to load in Jatrabari. And it is a structure Google can index, so guardians searching "admission [your college name]" actually find you.
There is no team behind this. I scope the build with your principal or IT focal on Google Meet or WhatsApp, whether you are in Dhanmondi, Uttara or Mohammadpur. Then I write the PHP and structure the database. I build the Bangla-English language switch, tune the caching and ship to your hosting. Nothing is forwarded to a junior.
Say the admission convener messages me on a Friday night. They need a second-shift HSC section added, or a broken results link fixed. I open the actual codebase and push the change. There is no ticket and no sprint. There is no "the developer who built that has left the company". The developer is me, and I do not leave.
Pricing stays honest because Dhaka colleges run on real, fixed budgets, not corporate retainers. 50,000 BDT is the floor. That buys a focused, admission-ready college site of about 8 to 10 pages. It has a notice board, faculty list, results display and a mobile-first build. 90,000 BDT adds a truly bilingual build with real Bangla typography. It also adds a gallery, alumni and governing-body pages, and a CMS your staff can run without calling me.
1,50,000 BDT is a flagship college portal, with departments, hostel, library, transcript requests and full Dhaka SEO. Truly custom development starts from 3,00,000 BDT. That covers National University result sync, online applications with bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz payment, and student dashboards. You always pay 50% advance and 50% on launch. That is the whole commercial structure, with no surprises.
Six development results that Dhaka college principals, IT focals and admission committees notice after launch. The same senior who designed the site also wrote and tested every line.
I develop and load-test the site for the spike between HSC results and the last application date. Caching, images and page weight are tuned for it. The admission notice opens in under three seconds on a cheap Android over 4G in Mirpur or Jatrabari.
An application form that actually delivers. It has checked fields, file upload for SSC and HSC documents, and an email-on-submit that does not silently fail. Your office gets every applicant, not the 60 percent that survived a broken form.
Students find their semester or test result by roll number instead of phoning your office. The site also links cleanly to the National University and Education Board portals where that belongs.
Your office assistant updates the notice board from a phone in about 90 seconds: title, Bangla or English body, optional PDF, publish. No more uploading screenshots of paper notices shot under a tubelight.
Bangla and English are handled in the code from day one. That means correct webfonts, line-height per script, and language-switch URLs Google can index separately. Governing-body Bangla notices and the English honours syllabus both render cleanly on stock phone browsers.
Clean URLs, proper headings, fast load and schema where it helps. Guardians searching your college name plus "admission" land on your site. They do not land on a Facebook post or a directory listing.
The failure pattern is so consistent that I can almost predict it before I open a college's site. A vendor wins the meeting with a clean homepage mockup. The principal approves the look. Then development is quietly outsourced to whoever is cheapest that month. They drop a generic theme on shared hosting and paste in the prospectus. They wire up a contact form plugin nobody tests under real load, and call it done. It looks fine in April.
Then HSC results publish. A few thousand guardians hit the site in the same evening. The heavy images choke the bandwidth, and the admission form starts timing out. The office assistant cannot post a notice without messaging the vendor. But the vendor has moved on and goes silent. By the next cycle, the college is back to running admissions off a Facebook page and a phone number.
Proper college website development in Dhaka means engineering for that exact evening, not the April demo. When I build a college website in Dhaka, I assume the worst realistic case from the start. Picture an old Android phone and weak 4G in an outer area. Picture an impatient guardian comparing you with two other colleges in nearby tabs. So the build is light and the form is solid. The results lookup works, and the notice CMS is simple enough for your office to run without me.
I am one accountable senior, not a sales rep handing off to a junior. The person who promised it works in admission week wrote the code that has to work in admission week. I take a limited number of builds each month, so a deadline-bound admission site never slips. I would rather decline a project than miss your admission window.

The questions Dhaka college principals, secretaries and IT focals actually ask me before they sign.
50,000 BDT buys a focused, admission-ready college site of about 8 to 10 mobile-first pages, with a notice board, faculty list, results and an application form. 90,000 BDT gets a bilingual build with proper Bangla typography, a gallery, alumni and governing-body pages, and a staff-run CMS. 1,50,000 BDT is a flagship portal with departments, hostel, library, transcripts and full Dhaka SEO. Custom work with NU result sync, online applications and bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz payment starts from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch, with no retainer.
Design is how the site looks and feels: layout, colour, typography and the homepage your principal approves. Development is everything that must work under load. That means the admission form, the results lookup, the notice CMS and page speed on a cheap phone. It also means the database and the structure Google indexes. I do both myself. But most college sites in Dhaka fail on development, not design. The homepage is fine, and the admission form silently breaks the week it matters.
Yes, if we start within the next 7 to 10 days. The 50,000 BDT focused college site takes about 3 to 4 weeks from advance to launch. The 90,000 BDT bilingual build takes about 5 to 6 weeks. I limit how many projects I take each month, so admission-deadline builds do not slip. Send me your college name and deadline. I will tell you honestly, the same day, if the timeline is real. I would rather refuse than miss your admission window.
Yes. Building the CMS so your staff can run it is the whole point. After launch, I record a short Bangla video walkthrough. I also do a screen-share session with one or two of your office people. Posting a notice takes about 90 seconds: title, Bangla or English body, optional PDF, publish. You never message me to put up an Eid holiday notice or a routine HSC second-shift update.
Yes, but that is custom development from 3,00,000 BDT. It includes an online application form with file upload for SSC and HSC certificates and photos. It adds bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz for the application fee. Your admission committee gets an admin dashboard to review and shortlist applicants, plus NU portal linking where needed. Maybe you only need a printable form with reliable email-on-submit. That is already covered in the 90,000 BDT tier.
Yes. NU-affiliated colleges in Dhaka need honours and degree department pages. They need a results section that links cleanly to the NU and Education Board portals. They also need governing-body and academic-calendar pages, and bilingual content done properly. The standard build at 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT covers display and clean linking. Live NU result sync and student dashboards are custom work from 3,00,000 BDT. That involves connecting to outside data, not just linking out.
