How much does an ecommerce site actually cost in Dhanmondi? Real numbers, no "contact for price" runaround.
Most Dhanmondi boutique owners, salon brands and home-bakers I meet ask the same first question: koto taka? Then they get five wildly different quotes from five different agencies. This page exists so you stop guessing. Below are the actual tiers I charge, what's inside each one, and what genuinely makes an ecommerce site more or less expensive in Bangladesh.
Starting at 50,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch. One senior designer and developer end to end.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
If you've spent a week calling agencies along Mirpur Road or messaging Facebook page owners in the "Dhanmondi entrepreneurs" groups, you've probably noticed the pattern: the same store specification gets quoted at 18,000 BDT, 75,000 BDT and 2,80,000 BDT in the same afternoon. The 18,000 BDT quote is usually a recycled Shopify theme by a student. The 2,80,000 BDT quote is an agency that will hand your project to a junior. Neither is what a serious Dhanmondi brand actually needs.
I'm RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer based in Bangladesh with roughly five years of experience building ecommerce stores for brands across Dhaka, including Dhanmondi 27, 32, Road 8 and the Kalabagan-adjacent shops. Every site I quote, I personally design, code and ship. No reseller markup, no "project manager" forwarding your messages to someone you've never spoken to.
My pricing is published because hiding it benefits nobody. Ecommerce starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused storefront, 90,000 BDT for a proper multi-category store, and 1,50,000 BDT for a brand-grade WooCommerce or Shopify build with full bKash and Nagad checkout. Custom architecture work begins at 3,00,000 BDT. The number you pay depends on real variables, not on how desperate I think you are.
What this page does is walk you through those variables so when you message me on WhatsApp, we're already speaking the same language. You'll know what 50,000 BDT actually buys, why an electronics store in Dhanmondi costs more than a single-product perfume page, and where the money goes in a Bangladesh ecommerce build.
Six things that decide your ecommerce website design price in Dhanmondi — read these before you compare quotes, otherwise you're comparing apples to onions.
Twelve SKUs of attar or 400 SKUs of fashion are not the same job. Below 30 products fits the 50,000 BDT tier; 30 to 200 with variants pushes you into the 90,000 BDT range; full catalog work with filters sits at 1,50,000 BDT.
Adding bKash Tokenized Checkout, Nagad and SSLCommerz aggregator is real integration work, not a plugin flip. Built-in on the 90,000 BDT tier and above; manual payment instructions only on the entry tier.
Using a clean pre-made layout costs less than a fully custom Dhanmondi-brand aesthetic with custom illustration and Bangla typography. Custom design is the single biggest reason prices double.
Steadfast, Pathao or RedX courier integration plus a cash-on-delivery flow with district pricing is a half-day of setup at minimum. Included from the 90,000 BDT tier; available as a 5,000 BDT add-on at entry.
A bilingual store with proper Bangla product titles, SEO meta and switcher is more work than a single-language store. Recommended for Dhanmondi audiences mixing English-medium and Bangla-medium buyers.
A standard build takes 18 to 28 working days. If you need a Pohela Boishakh, Eid or 12.12 launch with a fixed deadline, expect a 15-20% rush fee — and book six weeks ahead.
When a Dhanmondi clothing brand pays me 1,50,000 BDT for an ecommerce site, here is roughly where that money lands. About 35% goes to design — homepage, category templates, product detail page, cart, checkout, account area, mobile layouts for the 80%+ of your buyers shopping on phones in Gulshan-Dhanmondi traffic, and revision rounds. Roughly 30% goes to development — theme code, performance work so your product images don't kill load time on a 3G Banglalink connection, schema markup so Google shows your products properly, and SEO foundations.
Another 20% covers integrations: bKash Tokenized, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Steadfast or Pathao courier API, GTM and Meta Pixel for your Facebook ad campaigns. The final 15% covers what most quotes hide — proper QA on real devices, staging environment, training videos in Bangla and English, and the first month of post-launch support.
What pushes your price up isn't "premium" labels — it's specific complexity. Multiple shipping zones with separate Dhaka-inside vs. outside-Dhaka rates. A wholesale price tier for resellers. Pre-order or made-to-order flows for tailoring brands on Road 27. Wishlist plus account history. WhatsApp order forwarding. Custom shade-finders for cosmetics or size-matching for sarees. Each of these is a real engineering decision, and a serious quote will list them line by line so you can switch features on or off to hit your budget. If a Dhanmondi agency hands you a single number without itemising, that's the warning sign — not the price itself.

The six questions Dhanmondi store owners actually ask before they pay an advance.
Entry-level ecommerce starts at 50,000 BDT for up to about 30 products with manual payment instructions. A proper multi-category store with bKash and Nagad checkout sits at 90,000 BDT. A brand-grade WooCommerce or Shopify store with custom design, courier integration and Bangla-English bilingual support is 1,50,000 BDT. Anything beyond that — marketplace, multi-vendor, custom architecture — starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Because most quotes hide scope. A 25,000 BDT quote almost always means a recycled theme, no payment gateway, no courier integration and a junior doing the work. A 3,00,000 BDT agency quote usually includes a sales team, project manager, account manager and 40% margin you don't see. My pricing is what one senior operator charges to do the actual work — no markup chain, no surprise add-ons.
On the 90,000 BDT tier and above, yes — bKash Tokenized Checkout, Nagad and SSLCommerz aggregator are included. On the 50,000 BDT entry tier I keep checkout simple with manual bKash/Nagad instructions and cash-on-delivery to keep the price honest. Adding live payment gateway integration to the entry tier costs 8,000 to 12,000 BDT extra depending on your merchant account status.
Standard terms are 50% advance to start, 50% on launch — both payable by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. I don't offer a discount for full advance because that incentive often leads to rushed scope discussions later. What I do offer is a fixed-price guarantee: once we agree the scope, the price doesn't move unless you add new features.
Yes, and this is honestly the smartest path for new Dhanmondi brands. Start at 50,000 BDT with a clean storefront, validate which products move and which marketing channel works, then re-invest your first six months of revenue into upgrading. I credit a portion of your original build cost toward the upgrade if it happens within 12 months.
Three honest line items, all paid directly to providers, not me. Domain renewal is around 1,200 BDT per year. Hosting on a quality provider runs 6,000 to 18,000 BDT per year depending on traffic. Premium plugin licences (if your tier uses any) are 8,000 to 15,000 BDT per year. Optional post-launch care from me is 5,000 BDT per month or 50,000 BDT per year — never mandatory.
