A freelance web designer for Chittagong who actually builds your site himself — not a Dhaka vendor who treats Chattogram like a side enquiry.
Most business owners here end up hiring a freelancer or agency three hundred kilometres away in Dhaka, then spend weeks explaining what a C&F agent does, why Khatunganj wholesalers buy the way they do, and why their customers pay by bKash from a phone. I am one senior operator who designs, codes and ships the whole site myself, and who builds for how Chattogram trade actually works. Freelance web design in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT.
Solo senior designer, ~5 years building Bangladesh sites. 50% advance / 50% on launch via bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. Design-approval guarantee — you sign off on the design before I take the final 50%.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Here is the pattern I see across Chattogram. A business near Agrabad or off CDA Avenue decides it finally needs a proper website. They search, they find a Dhaka freelancer or an agency with a Gulshan address, they sign — and then the project turns into a translation exercise. The owner spends call after call explaining the trade: that they clear cargo at the port, that their real buyers are wholesalers in Khatunganj, that half their enquiries come from a supplier in Dubai or Guangzhou Googling the firm's name at midnight. The designer nods, then ships a generic Dhaka template that understands none of it. The distance is not the problem. The indifference is.
I am RH Fardin, a freelance web designer working solo across Bangladesh with roughly five years of full-time client builds behind me. I take Chittagong work as first-class work, not an out-of-town favour. That means I learn your actual operation before I design a single screen — whether you run import-export and clearing-and-forwarding around the port, supply the RMG and accessories trade, sell hardware or electronics off the GEC and Agrabad strips, or run a clinic in Khulshi or Panchlaish.
The discovery call, the design, the build, the on-page SEO, the speed pass and the launch are all me. No junior is assigned to your account once the advance clears, and no white-label partner is doing the work behind a logo.
Pricing is plain. The freelance floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, mobile-first business site built around how your Chattogram buyer actually behaves. 90,000 BDT covers a larger build with a blog, booking or stronger SEO. 1,50,000 BDT is the bracket for small ecommerce with bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz wired in properly. Anything fully custom — multi-language for overseas buyers, dashboards, integrations with your existing systems — starts at 3,00,000 BDT and is quoted per scope. I charge 50 percent advance to start and 50 percent on launch, payable by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
The design-approval guarantee is the part that should matter most when you are hiring someone you are not sitting across a desk from. You see and approve the design direction before I write production code, and you do not pay the final 50 percent until you sign off on the real, live site. In a market where the standard fear is paying an advance to a remote freelancer and then watching them go quiet, that structure is deliberate — it keeps the risk on me, where it belongs, and it forces me to get your brief right instead of skating through a template.
Six things that change when the designer, developer and project lead are one senior person who treats Chattogram as a primary market — each tied to how the port city actually trades and buys.
An honest freelance starting price in writing, not a Dhaka-agency number padded with office overhead. Tiers at 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT — you pick the scope, I tell you straight which one fits.
I design around how Chattogram earns — import-export, C&F, port logistics, Khatunganj wholesale, RMG supply. A site that speaks to a real B2B buyer or overseas supplier, not a recoloured restaurant template.
The person on your discovery call is the person who designs and codes the site. No "a resource will be assigned," no quiet handover to a trainee in another city the moment your advance lands.
Clean URLs, proper titles and schema, Google Business Profile and Search Console set up before launch — so a wholesaler or supplier searching your firm or trade in Chattogram finds you, not a stale directory listing.
Payment instructions or full checkout set up the way Chattogram customers actually pay — clean merchant flow, no copy-pasted personal number, no buyer abandoning at the last step.
You message me directly, not an account executive in a Dhaka tower. First 30 days of small fixes are on me, and I am still the one who answers in month two when you need a change.
If you have hired a web designer in Chittagong before, you have probably lived one of two versions of the same disappointment. Version one: a local Facebook-page freelancer who quotes 10,000 taka, hands over a nulled theme that breaks on the second page, and stops replying once the work gets hard.
Version two: a polished Dhaka agency or freelancer who takes the project seriously enough to invoice well but treats Chattogram as a remote, lower-priority account — slow replies, a junior on the actual build, and a finished site that clearly belongs to a business in Banani, not a trading house near the port. Serious owners here end up assuming the only safe option is to overpay a capital-city agency, just to avoid getting burned. That assumption is what I work against.
Working freelance with me removes both the indifference and the overhead. There is no office rent, no sales desk, and no junior layer inflating the quote or diluting the work — what you pay goes into the build and the senior brain behind it, which is the whole reason the floor can honestly sit at 50,000 BDT.
Distance is handled with structure, not promises: a written scope signed before any taka moves, the 50/50 split, the design-approval guarantee, and a real handover at the end — admin logins to your email, a short walkthrough of how to edit your own content, and your domain and hosting kept in your name, never locked under mine.
Whether your customers are in Halishahar, Khulshi, Khatunganj or a supplier WhatsApping from overseas, the site is built for them — and you always know exactly who is responsible for it, because it is one person, and it is me.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners actually ask before hiring a freelance web designer — starting with the one that comes in the first thirty seconds.
The freelance floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, mobile-first business site — homepage, about, services, contact, plus a supporting page. 90,000 BDT covers a larger build with a blog, booking or stronger on-page SEO. 1,50,000 BDT is the bracket for small ecommerce with bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz wired in. Fully custom work — multi-language for overseas buyers, dashboards, integrations — starts from 3,00,000 BDT and is quoted per scope. Payment is 50 percent advance, 50 percent on launch. If someone in Chattogram is quoting 8,000 to 15,000 taka for a real custom site, you are getting a nulled template, not a build.
Yes, because I run the project to remove the distance, not to hide behind it. We do discovery by call and WhatsApp, I share design direction for your approval before I build, and you sign off on the live site before paying the final 50 percent. Same timezone, same language, replies in working hours — not a foreign agency you reach at 2am. Plenty of Chattogram businesses already hire Dhaka vendors; the difference is I treat your work as primary work and learn how your trade actually operates instead of dropping a generic template on it.
I build around it. For a clearing-and-forwarding firm, an importer, a shipping or logistics business, or an RMG and accessories supplier, the site has a different job than a local shop's — it has to give a serious B2B buyer or overseas supplier confidence, present your services and capacity clearly, and rank when someone searches your firm name or trade in Chattogram. I learn your operation in discovery and design the structure, copy and enquiry flow for that buyer, not for a walk-in customer who was never going to find you online anyway.
Yes — that is non-negotiable here. Most of your enquiries come from a phone on 4G, often a mid-range Android with one or two bars in Agrabad or GEC traffic. I compress images properly, keep scripts lean and fonts fast, and test on a throttled connection that mimics real port-city mobile data. If your site needs nine seconds to load while a buyer is stuck in CDA Avenue congestion, they are in a competitor's tab before it finishes. Mobile-first is how the whole site is built, not a line in the proposal.
Yes. On the 50,000 BDT tier I set up a clean payment section with your bKash and Nagad details, clear instructions, and a confirmation flow by form or WhatsApp — the manual way most Chattogram customers already pay. If you need fully automated bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz checkout with order management, that lives on the 1,50,000 BDT tier, because at that point you are running an actual online store, and the price reflects the real work behind it.
Two things, both structural. The advance is tied to a written scope we both agree before any taka moves — not a loose WhatsApp deal — and the design-approval guarantee means you approve the design direction before I write production code and sign off on the live site before paying the final 50 percent. I have built roughly five years of work in Bangladesh on referrals; for a solo operator, going quiet is bad business and bad maths. Your domain and hosting also stay in your own name, so nothing is ever held hostage. Portfolio and references are on rhfardin.com.
