Your Chittagong business outgrew Excel and the WhatsApp group three orders ago. You need actual software — built by one senior developer who's in your timezone, not a Dhaka team you'll chase for months.
I'm RH Fardin, a freelance web app developer in Chittagong. I build the login-and-work kind of software — order dashboards, inventory tools, C&F job trackers, distributor portals — for port-city trading firms, importers, and service businesses that are drowning in spreadsheets. One senior operator: I scope the workflow, write the code, deploy it, and answer your WhatsApp when something breaks at the worst possible time. Builds start at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Around 5 years building production web apps. Solo senior operator based in Chattogram, no juniors, no resellers. Custom internal tools from 50,000 BDT, paid via bKash, Nagad, or bank.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
It usually starts the same way in Chittagong. An importer in Agrabad is tracking LC numbers, shipment ETAs, and pending duty payments across four Excel files and a WhatsApp group with the C&F agent. A wholesale distributor near Khatunganj is taking stockist orders one phone call at a time, then re-typing them into a register. A clinic off CDA Avenue is chasing follow-ups on paper.
Nothing is technically broken — until two people edit the same sheet, an order gets billed twice, or a shipment slips through because nobody owned the reminder. That's the moment you stop needing a website and start needing a web app: something with logins, roles, a database that updates all day, and a screen that tells each person exactly what's theirs to do.
I'm the only person on your project. The one who replies to your first message is the one writing your authentication logic, designing your order table, configuring your hosting, and pushing the final build. There's no Dhaka account manager forwarding your email two days later, no junior learning Node.js on your timeline, no PM whose whole job is to schedule the meeting that explains why nothing shipped.
Before I write production code, I sit with your actual workflow — who logs in, what they need to see, the four or five actions that move money or goods — and I scope that on paper first. The design-approval guarantee applies here too: we don't start the real build until you've signed off on the screens, so what you approve is what you get.
The stack stays deliberately boring so it survives: React or Next.js on the front, Node.js or Laravel on the back, MySQL or Postgres holding your data, deployed somewhere you actually own. Every credential — GitHub repo, domain, hosting, database — is in your name from day one. Nothing lives 'temporarily' on my personal account to quietly lock you in. If you hire another developer next year, they clone the repo, read the handover doc, and get to work. That's the difference between hiring a senior operator and hiring a hostage situation.
I take one or two app builds at a time, on purpose, because real software needs a person paying attention to it — not a name on an invoice. That's the honest trade-off of hiring solo: genuine senior attention, but not unlimited capacity. So the koto taka question gets a straight answer up front. A small internal tool starts at 50,000 BDT, the standard tiers run 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT, and a full multi-module application starts at 3,00,000 BDT after a proper scoping call. Payment is 50% advance via bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer, 50% on launch.
Not a feature list off a brochure — the things that decide whether your software is still running, and trusted, in month six.
I map your roles, screens, and the handful of actions that actually drive your business before any code. The app fits how your Chattogram firm already works, not a generic CRM template you'll fight forever.
Same city, same timezone. If a sit-down in Agrabad or a quick call gets a tricky requirement nailed down faster, we do that — instead of trading half-understood voice notes with a team 250km away in Dhaka.
Order tracking, inventory, supplier and stockist portals, C&F job status, LC and shipment logs — the unglamorous software that runs port-city trading. I've built these screens, not just read about them.
If your app collects payments, bKash Tokenized Checkout, Nagad, or SSLCommerz go in with proper webhook handling, so a failed transaction doesn't leave a half-finished order rotting in your database.
GitHub repo, domain, hosting, and database credentials are all under your name from day one, with a written handover doc. Switch developers next year and nothing is held hostage.
Your staff will run this on mid-range Android phones over uneven city 4G, not laptops in an AC office. I build the dashboards to load fast and stay usable on the exact devices your team actually carries.
Most Chittagong businesses that message me asking for a 'web app' need one of two very different things, and confusing them wastes real money. The first is an internal tool: software your own staff log into to run the business — an order desk for your wholesale operation, a shipment and duty tracker for an import firm, a job-status board your C&F team and clients can both see, a clinic's appointment and follow-up panel.
You're not selling the software; you're replacing the four Excel files and the WhatsApp chaos that's quietly costing you orders. These are contained, they pay for themselves fast in saved hours and fewer mistakes, and most start in the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range. The second is a product — a SaaS or marketplace you intend to sell to other businesses or the public. That's a longer build with subscriptions, multi-tenancy, and onboarding flows, and it starts at 3,00,000 BDT because the scope is genuinely larger.
Here's the blunt part: a lot of cheap quotes floating around Facebook freelance groups for a 'web app' are neither. They're a Bootstrap template with a login form bolted on top — a website wearing a password. It demos fine and falls apart the first week your staff put real data through it, because no one mapped what happens when two people edit the same order, or how a cancelled payment should behave, or who's allowed to see whose numbers. A real web app developer scopes those rules before touching code.
So in our first call I'll ask plainly which of the three you actually need, tell you honestly if a simpler website would do the job for less, and only quote the app once I understand the workflow it has to run. That conversation alone saves more Chattogram founders money than any discount ever has.

The questions Chittagong business owners actually ask me on WhatsApp before hiring a freelance web app developer.
A small internal tool — login, two or three user roles, a working dashboard, basic reporting — starts at 50,000 BDT. The standard tiers are 50,000, 90,000, and 1,50,000 BDT depending on how many modules, roles, and integrations the workflow needs. A full custom multi-module application or a SaaS product starts at 3,00,000 BDT, quoted after a proper scoping call. Payment is 50% advance via bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer, and 50% on launch — no surprise add-ons after we agree the scope.
The recurring ones here are order-management dashboards for wholesale and distribution businesses, inventory and stock tools, shipment and LC trackers for importers, C&F job-status portals where your team and clients see the same updates, distributor and stockist portals, and appointment or follow-up panels for clinics and service firms. The common thread is people logging in to do daily work, not just reading a company profile.
I work from Chattogram, in your timezone, so calls and the occasional in-person meeting near Agrabad or GEC are simple and you have a local person you can hold accountable. Many profiles advertising Chittagong app development actually route everything through a remote team. With me, the person you meet is the person who writes, deploys, and maintains your software.
A website mostly shows information — services, about, contact, maybe a blog. A web app has users who log in and do work: place orders, assign C&F jobs, update stock, view a dashboard of their own numbers. If your project needs logins, roles, a database that changes throughout the day, and reports, you need a web app. I build both and price them very differently, and in the first call I'll tell you honestly which one your situation actually calls for.
A small internal tool at the 50,000 BDT tier usually takes three to four weeks from kickoff. A mid-size build at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT runs six to ten weeks. A full custom application from 3,00,000 BDT is typically three to five months, broken into one-to-two week sprints with a video update at the end of each. The clock starts once the advance is paid and I have your real workflow details — late or vague requirements are the usual cause of slippage, not coding speed.
No, you walk away with everything. The GitHub repo is under your account, the domain, hosting, and database credentials are in your name, and there's a written handover doc explaining the codebase structure and where each business rule lives. I'd rather you stay because the software keeps working well, not because moving away is painful. One-developer lock-in is exactly the trap I refuse to build.
