About the freelancer
The problem with hiring a freelancer in a student city is that they keep graduating
If you need a freelance web designer in Rajshahi, you may know this pattern. Almost every owner I talk to has lived some version of it. You need a website. A friend points you to a sharp young freelancer near Rajshahi University or RUET. He is talented and knows WordPress. He quotes you 7,000 or 8,000 taka and builds something decent in a couple of weeks.
For a few months it's fine. Then final exams hit, results come out and the job offer arrives. Your developer is now a junior at a software firm in Dhaka who stops opening your messages. You can't edit your site. The season changes, but the homepage still shows last year's offer. The one person who held the login is gone. That's not really a freelancer. That's a final-year student earning pocket money, and that gap is the whole point of this page.
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. The key word is full-time. This is the job, not a phase between semesters. The person who designs your site in June is the same person who picks up when you need a fix in December.
I take Rajshahi work seriously and build around how this city earns. I work with silk and clothing showrooms around BSCIC and Shaheb Bazar. There are mango traders and orchard businesses whose year hangs on a three-month season. There are coaching centres and admission-prep institutes feeding off the university and medical college. There are clinics and diagnostic chambers near Laxmipur and the Medical area, and shops whose customers pay by bKash and Nagad on a mid-range phone.
Discovery call, design, front-end build, on-page SEO, speed pass and launch are all done by me. There's no junior, and no white-label partner behind a logo. Pricing is plain, because in a careful-with-money city like Rajshahi, a vague quote is a red flag. The freelance floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, mobile first business site. It's built around how your Rajshahi buyer behaves.
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 properly. Anything fully custom starts at 3,00,000 BDT and is quoted per scope. That could be a Bangla-English split, dashboards, or links to your current systems. I charge 50 percent advance to start and 50 percent on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. I won't quote you 6,000 taka to win the job and then pad it later.
The design-approval guarantee matters most when you hire someone you found online. You see and approve the design direction before I write production code. You don't pay the final 50 percent until you sign off on the real, live site. The usual fear is paying an advance to a freelancer who goes quiet, or graduates and disappears. This setup is on purpose. It keeps the risk on me, where it belongs.
Your domain and hosting stay in your own name from day one. Nothing is ever locked under my logins. Portfolio and references are on rhfardin.com.
