A freelance web designer for Chittagong who builds your site himself. Not a Dhaka vendor who treats Chattogram like a side job.
Most owners here hire a freelancer or agency in Dhaka, 300 km away. Then they spend weeks explaining the basics. What a C&F agent does. How Khatunganj wholesalers buy. Why their customers pay by bKash from a phone. I am one senior person who designs, codes and ships the whole site. I build for how Chattogram trade really works. As a freelance web designer in Chittagong, my work starts at 50,000 BDT.
Solo senior designer, about 5 years building Bangladesh sites. 50% advance and 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 a pattern I see across Chattogram. A business near Agrabad or off CDA Avenue decides it needs a real website. The owner searches and finds a Dhaka freelancer or an agency with a Gulshan address. They sign. Then the project turns into a long lesson. A freelance web designer in Chittagong should already know this ground, but the Dhaka hire does not.
The owner spends call after call explaining the trade. They clear cargo at the port. Their real buyers are wholesalers in Khatunganj. Half their enquiries come from a supplier in Dubai or Guangzhou who Googles the firm's name at midnight. The designer nods, then ships a plain Dhaka template that gets none of it. The distance is not the problem. The lack of care is.
I am RH Fardin, a freelance web designer who works solo with businesses across Bangladesh. I have about five years of full-time client builds behind me. I treat Chittagong work as top-priority work, not an out-of-town favour. So I learn how you really run before I design a single screen.
Maybe you run import-export or clearing and forwarding around the port. Maybe you supply the RMG and accessories trade. You might sell hardware or electronics on the GEC and Agrabad strips, or run a clinic in Khulshi or Panchlaish. The discovery call, design, build, on-page SEO, speed work and launch are all me. No junior takes over once the advance clears. No white-label partner does the work behind a logo.
Pricing is plain. The freelance floor is 50,000 BDT. That buys a focused, mobile-first business site built around how your Chattogram buyer behaves. 90,000 BDT covers a larger build with a blog, booking or stronger SEO. 1,50,000 BDT is for small ecommerce with bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz set up properly.
Fully custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT and is quoted by scope. That covers things like multiple languages for overseas buyers, dashboards, or links to the systems you already use. I charge 50 percent advance to start and 50 percent on launch. You can pay by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
The design-approval guarantee matters most when you hire someone you don't sit across a desk from. You see and approve the design direction before I write the real code. You don't pay the final 50 percent until you sign off on the live site. Here, the common fear is paying an advance to a remote freelancer who then goes quiet. My setup is on purpose. It keeps the risk on me, where it belongs. It also forces me to get your brief right instead of rushing through a template.
Here are six things that change when one senior person is your designer, developer and project lead. Each one ties to how the port city really trades and buys.
You get an honest freelance starting price in writing. It is not a Dhaka agency number padded with office costs. Tiers sit at 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. You pick the scope, and I tell you straight which one fits.
I design around how Chattogram earns: import-export, C&F, port logistics, Khatunganj wholesale and RMG supply. Your site speaks to a real B2B buyer or overseas supplier. It is not a recoloured restaurant template.
The person on your discovery call is the person who designs and codes the site. You won't hear "a resource will be assigned." There is no quiet handover to a trainee in another city once your advance lands.
I set up clean URLs, proper titles and schema before launch. I also set up Google Business Profile and Search Console. So a wholesaler or supplier who searches your firm or trade in Chattogram finds you, not an old directory listing.
I set up payment steps or a full checkout the way Chattogram customers really pay. The merchant flow is clean. There is no copied personal number, and no buyer drops off at the last step.
You message me directly, not an account manager in a Dhaka tower. The first 30 days of small fixes are on me. 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 probably met one of two letdowns. First, a local Facebook-page freelancer who quotes 10,000 taka. They hand over a nulled theme that breaks on the second page, then stop replying once the work gets hard.
Second, a polished Dhaka agency or freelancer who bills well but treats Chattogram as a low-priority account. Replies are slow. A junior does the real build. The finished site looks like it belongs to a business in Banani, not a trading house near the port. So serious owners here assume the only safe choice is to overpay a capital-city agency. I work against that idea.
Working with me as a freelancer removes both the lack of care and the extra cost. There is no office rent, no sales desk and no junior layer inflating the quote. What you pay goes into the build and the senior skill behind it. That is why the floor can honestly sit at 50,000 BDT. I handle distance with structure, not promises. You get a written scope signed before any taka moves, the 50/50 split and the design-approval guarantee.
You also get a real handover at the end. That means admin logins to your email and a short walkthrough on editing your own content. Your domain and hosting stay in your name, never locked under mine. Your customers might be in Halishahar, Khulshi or Khatunganj, or a supplier sending WhatsApp messages from overseas. The site is built for them. And you always know who is responsible for it, because it is one person, and it is me.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners ask before hiring a freelance web designer. We start with the question that comes in the first thirty seconds.
The freelance floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, mobile-first business site. It covers a homepage, about, services, contact and one more page. 90,000 BDT covers a larger build with a blog, booking or stronger on-page SEO. 1,50,000 BDT is for small ecommerce with bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz set up. Fully custom work starts from 3,00,000 BDT and is quoted by scope. Payment is 50 percent advance and 50 percent on launch. A quote of 8,000 to 15,000 taka for a custom site means a nulled template.
Yes, because I run the project to remove the distance, not to hide behind it. We do discovery by call and WhatsApp. I share the design direction for your approval before I build. You sign off on the live site before you pay the final 50 percent. I speak your language and reply in your working hours, not at 2am. Many Chattogram firms hire Dhaka vendors. I treat your work as top priority. I learn how your trade works instead of dropping a plain template on it.
I build around them. Think of a clearing and forwarding firm, an importer, a shipping or logistics business, or an RMG and accessories supplier. Their site has a different job than a local shop's. It has to give a serious B2B buyer or overseas supplier confidence. It must show your services and capacity clearly. It should rank when someone searches your firm or trade in Chattogram. I learn your operation in discovery. Then I shape the layout, copy and enquiry flow for that buyer, not a walk-in customer.
Yes, that is a must here. Most of your enquiries come from a phone on 4G. Often it is a mid-range Android with one or two bars in Agrabad or GEC traffic. I compress images, keep scripts lean and keep fonts fast. I test on a slowed connection that copies real port-city mobile data. If your site takes nine seconds to load in CDA Avenue traffic, the buyer opens a competitor's tab. The whole site is built mobile-first. It is not just 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. It has clear steps and a confirmation flow by form or WhatsApp. That is the manual way most Chattogram customers already pay. Maybe you need fully automated bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz checkout with order management. That sits on the 1,50,000 BDT tier. At that point you are running a real online store, and the price reflects the real work behind it.
Two built-in things protect you. First, the advance is tied to a written scope we agree on before any taka moves. Second, the design-approval guarantee. You approve the design direction before I write the real code. You sign off on the live site before paying the final 50 percent. I have built about five years of Bangladesh work on referrals, so going quiet would be bad business. Your domain and hosting stay in your name too. My portfolio and references are on rhfardin.com.
