Most searches for an ecommerce website development company in Sylhet end with a buyer who briefed a "company" and got a freelancer who vanished — so the real question is who actually writes your checkout, and whether they pick up when it breaks.
I am RH Fardin, a one-person studio building proper ecommerce stores for Sylhet sellers. "Company" sounds safe, but for a store the logo on the invoice matters far less than whether one accountable person engineered the thing and still answers WhatsApp the day an order will not confirm. I architect the store, write the WooCommerce and checkout code, wire bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery so payments actually reconcile, and set honest courier zones for delivery outside the Dhaka core. Stores start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, full design signed off before any code.

Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Search ecommerce website development company in Sylhet and the results all look like firms — clean logos, an office address off Zindabazar, a portfolio page, the word "team" everywhere. Then you message one and a single person replies from a personal number, quotes you, and that same person turns out to be the salesman, the designer, the developer and the support line all at once. There is nothing wrong with one person doing all of it — I do exactly that. The problem is when a one-person operation dresses up as a company to feel safe, takes your advance, ships a recoloured theme, and then goes quiet the first week a boosted post actually lands and the checkout throws an error. The word "company" reassures you about precisely the thing it cannot guarantee: that someone accountable will still be there when your store, which takes real money every single day, breaks at the worst possible moment.
A store is not a brochure site, and that distinction is the whole reason "who builds it" matters more here than the logo. A five-page company website can sit untouched for two years and nobody notices. A store cannot: it takes bKash and Nagad payments, holds stock, exports orders to a courier, and the moment any of that quietly fails you are losing orders in real time, usually on your busiest day. So when a Sylhet seller asks me for a development company, what they actually need is not a bigger headcount — it is one competent person who understands how their store earns and does not disappear. I have rebuilt enough orphaned Sylhet stores to know the pattern cold: the build itself was rarely the real failure, the disappearance was, the admin password lost somewhere in a Messenger thread with someone who stopped replying months ago.
I work as one senior operator, and on your store I am the company — the discovery call, the catalogue structure, the design in Figma, the WooCommerce and checkout code, and the WhatsApp line you message six months later when you want to push an offer banner before you post it. Around five years building stores for Bangladeshi sellers, including the trade Sylhet actually runs on: the boutiques and three-piece houses around Zindabazar and Bandar Bazar, the Manipuri handloom and shital pati sellers, the agar-attar and Sylheti dry-food and tea brands shipping specialities out, and the steady stream of Facebook-page sellers in Ambarkhana and Uposhohor finally going proper. One person, one thread, from the first message to the fix you need next season. And yes, Sylhet has a buyer most templates ignore entirely: the family abroad, the Londoni and Gulf relatives who fund a lot of the spending here and can buy a gift to be delivered home while they pay from overseas. I build the store to take that order cleanly too, instead of losing it the way a manual-bKash Facebook page does.
Pricing is fixed and honest, with no office rent baked into it. 50,000 BDT for a focused, properly built store — a real catalogue of roughly 20 to 30 products with a working bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery checkout, courier delivery zones and a phone-friendly admin. 90,000 BDT for a deeper build with up to 150 products, bulk import, filters, stock control and abandoned-cart recovery. 1,50,000 BDT for a larger, content-heavy bilingual store with a custom theme. From 3,00,000 BDT for a fully custom platform coded from a blank file. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you sign off the full design before I write a single line of code. Hosting, domain, source code and admin logins sit in your name from day one — because a company that holds your store as leverage is not a company, it is a landlord. And if your real budget today is under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you to stay on Facebook plus bKash and save up. That is honest sequencing, not a brush-off.
Six things that decide whether a store keeps taking orders long after launch — not the parts that just look good in a demo reel. All six are standard from the entry tier, never sold back to you as a premium add-on.
No salesman pitching a senior while a junior you never meet delivers the build. The person you ask koto taka is the same person who writes your checkout and the same person reachable when it breaks. One accountable hand is the entire point.
A store earns every day, so it is engineered to survive a busy week, not just to look finished in screenshots. The checkout is load-tested and the payment flow is checked before handover, because a store that drops orders mid-campaign is worse than no store.
bKash and Nagad wired to match transactions against order references, with cash-on-delivery built as the default because that is still how most Sylhet buyers pay. You stop hunting payment screenshots through WhatsApp at midnight.
Sylhet sits well outside the Dhaka courier core, so the store charges real per-zone rates for inside the city, the divisional towns like Beanibazar and Golapganj, and Dhaka beyond — exported clean to Pathao, Steadfast and SA Paribahan, not a flat fee that bleeds you.
A payment path a Londoni or Gulf relative can actually use to buy a gift and have it delivered to the family's door in Sylhet while they pay from abroad — paying foreign currency a manual-bKash Facebook page quietly turns away.
Hosting, domain, source code and admin logins registered to you from day one. If we ever part ways you take the whole store with you — no nulled theme, no temporary bKash number, no company holding your shop hostage to keep you paying.
Be honest about where your money goes when a 20 or 40-person agency quotes an ecommerce build in Sylhet. A real chunk of that invoice is a sales team, a project manager, a few juniors, an office off Zindabazar and a brand name — and only a fraction of it reaches the developer who actually touches your file. That developer is rarely their strongest one, because no agency assigns a senior to a Bangladesh-price store when a junior protects the margin. So they sell you the senior at the pitch and hand the build to the junior to deliver. The junior makes the homepage look done — a slider, nice fonts, a tidy product grid — and quietly skips the parts that never show in a demo: load-testing the checkout, matching bKash transactions to orders, setting honest per-zone courier rates for delivery outside Dhaka, building a payment path a relative abroad can use. The store ships, photographs beautifully, then drops orders the first busy week and turns away every diaspora buyer who could not check out. That is the standard failure mode of buying a store from a company that treats Sylhet as a line on an invoice.
With me you are paying for one senior person, full-time on your store for the weeks it takes, and the engineering is the whole point — not a layer hidden behind a sales pitch. We talk on a call about how your buyers actually order: the local customer messages first, asks koto taka, then pays COD or bKash on the doorstep, not a card upfront; the probashi customer wants to gift home and pay from overseas; and a lot of your orders ship well outside the city. The checkout, the catalogue and the courier flow get built around that reality, not a Western template that assumes a credit card and inside-city delivery. Design is approved in Figma before I write a line of code — that is the design-approval guarantee, and you never pay the balance for a build you did not sign off on. The price is locked: 50,000 BDT for a focused store, 50% advance to start and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. The honest trade-off is that I take a few stores at a time and do not run a 24-hour helpdesk — so if you need a 40-seat firm for a multi-vendor marketplace with overnight support, I will tell you and point you elsewhere. For a Sylhet store that has to take a local COD order and a London gift-order on the same quiet Tuesday, one accountable senior is not the budget option. It is the safer one.

The questions Sylhet sellers actually send on the first WhatsApp message — about cost, who builds it, and who is still around after launch. Straight answers, price first.
The floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, properly developed store — a single-vendor WooCommerce build with bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery live, roughly 20 to 30 products loaded by me, courier delivery zones and a phone-friendly admin. The next tier is 90,000 BDT, adding up to 150 products, bulk import, filters, stock control and abandoned-cart recovery. A larger, content-heavy bilingual store with a custom theme runs 1,50,000 BDT. Anything fully custom — multi-vendor, ERP or inventory sync, custom checkout logic — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain are paid separately to the provider in your own name. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. This is a senior solo price for senior work, not an agency rate with office rent baked in.
Judge the store, not the headcount. The real risk in Sylhet is not that an operation is small — it is that whoever built your store is gone when you need them, with your admin password lost in an old Messenger thread. Ask any firm here who actually writes your checkout and wires your bKash; in most cases it is a junior, because the senior is on a bigger job. With me, the senior person you brief is the senior person who codes, ships and fixes it next season. The honest trade-off: I take a few stores at a time and do not run a 24-hour helpdesk, so I ship each one properly instead of spreading myself across ten. You can see my work at rhfardin.com and message me directly before committing a single taka.
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs I get in Sylhet, and it is exactly the failure I built my model to avoid. First I get you back in control: recover or reset the hosting, domain and WooCommerce admin so the store is genuinely in your name, not locked behind a password with someone who stopped replying. Then I audit what is actually there — a lot of cheap builds use a nulled theme or quietly wire the original builder's own bKash number into your checkout, and both have to be fixed before it is safe to keep running. From there I either stabilise and maintain what you have or, if it was built too poorly to save, rebuild it cleanly. Either way you end up with one reachable person responsible for it, which is what you were missing.
Yes, and for a Sylhet store that is often where a chunk of the real money is. I build a payment path a relative in London, Dubai or New York can use — card or an overseas-friendly checkout — alongside the bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery your local buyers expect. So a son abroad can buy an Eid gift, a saree or a Sylheti food hamper and have it delivered to the family's door here while he pays from overseas. A Facebook page with a manual bKash number handles that badly; a proper store handles it cleanly, and that is a paying customer most Sylhet sellers are currently losing. Done right, ecommerce website development Sylhet BD sellers can rely on serves the buyer here and the one paying from abroad equally well.
Yes — this is the part most templates get wrong for Sylhet, because they are built around inside-Dhaka delivery. I set honest per-zone shipping inside the store: one rate for inside Sylhet city, another for the divisional towns like Beanibazar, Jaintapur or Golapganj, and another for Dhaka and beyond. Orders export clean to Pathao, Steadfast or SA Paribahan so you are not re-typing addresses every morning, and the buyer sees a real delivery charge at checkout instead of you eating the difference on every distant order. Delivery sitting outside the Dhaka core is a fact of selling from Sylhet, so I build the store to charge for it correctly.
No office visit needed — I work with sellers across Bangladesh, including plenty in Sylhet and owners living abroad setting up a store for family back home, over WhatsApp and Google Meet. A 50,000 BDT store takes 2 to 3 weeks if you get me product details and photos on time; a 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT build is 4 to 6 weeks with two rounds of revision. You approve the full design before any code is written, and after launch you reach me directly when you need a change — not a ticket queue, not a junior who left months ago. If your trade is seasonal, tell me early and we plan the launch so the store is live, fast and tested before your busy weeks hit, not in the middle of them.
