Why a Motijheel financial firm should not buy the same website as a Gulshan boutique
The audience is completely different, so the site has to be. A boutique in Gulshan is selling to consumers who decide in ten seconds on a phone — big imagery, bold claims, fast emotion. A bank, insurer, brokerage or trading house in Motijheel is selling to a much harder room: a corporate client's finance committee, a regulator reviewing your disclosures, a foreign correspondent bank doing due diligence, an institutional investor reading your board composition, and a journalist checking a notice before a story.
Every one of them is looking for reasons to trust you — or reasons not to. That changes everything about how the site is built. The information hierarchy has to put credibility first, not the hero animation. The leadership and governance pages have to survive a literal background check. The disclosure section has to be current and easy to cite. And nothing on the site can look improvised, because in this sector 'improvised' reads as 'risky'.
This is also where the 'koto taka?' question gets answered honestly for Motijheel. The price is driven by three real things and not by buzzwords. First, how many pages carry distinct, scrutiny-ready content — a typical financial-sector corporate site runs Home, About, Board & Management, Services or Products, Investor/Disclosure, Branch or Office network, Careers, News, and Contact.
At 50,000 BDT I ship the core six properly; 90,000 BDT covers the full structure with Board, Disclosure and Careers; 1,50,000 BDT adds a downloadable annual-profile area, bilingual Bangla pages and a branch locator.
Second, whether you hand me usable copy and director photos or I have to rewrite a decade-old Word file and clean up scanned images — most Motijheel firms are in the second camp, and I will rewrite the copy in clean corporate English, though a proper director photoshoot at your Dilkusha office is a photographer's cost, not mine. Third, the integrations that quietly eat hours — a careers portal that emails HR the CV, a regulatory notice archive, a multi-entity group structure, or a login area for partners.
Anything genuinely custom beyond that — an investor relations portal, live data feeds, multi-language at scale — starts at 3,00,000 BDT, and I will tell you plainly when your brief crosses that line instead of cramming it into a tier that cannot hold it.
