About the freelancer you're actually hiring
Hiring a freelance WordPress developer in Chittagong usually means trusting a stranger who might vanish. That's the real risk — not the price.
Here is how the freelance hire normally goes in Chittagong. A cousin or a Facebook group recommends "a boy who makes websites," you agree on 15,000 taka over WhatsApp, he sends a few screenshots, and a WordPress site appears. It looks fine. Then he gets a full-time job, or his exams start, or he simply stops replying — and you're holding a site you can't edit, with no admin login, no idea which plugins are installed, and no one to call when it goes white before a buyer meeting.
The price was never the problem. The problem is that most "freelance" WordPress work in this city is a part-timer between other commitments, and you only find that out the month you need him most.
I work as a freelancer, but I treat it as a profession, not a side gig. One senior operator — RH Fardin — does the discovery, the design in Figma, the actual theme and PHP, the WordPress configuration, the launch, and the handover. There is no junior practising on your business and no subcontractor I quietly pass the work to. When you message me on WhatsApp six months from now because a plugin update broke checkout the night before a shipment goes out, the person who picks up is the same person who built the site and remembers exactly how it's wired.
Chittagong's web work is mostly trade, and that changes what a WordPress site has to do. Importers and exporters, C&F and indenting agents, shipping and forwarding lines, commodity and raw-material suppliers, garment buying houses and the light manufacturing feeding the port — these businesses don't need a flashy site, they need one that makes a foreign principal in Singapore or a sourcing office in Guangzhou decide they're real before replying to an email.
So I build WordPress that you can keep current yourself: a product or service catalogue, a downloadable company profile, clean bilingual pages where the English has to satisfy an overseas buyer and the Bangla serves local partners — all editable from a dashboard you actually control, because prices and shipments here move every week.
Pricing is published, not haggled shipment by shipment. 50,000 BDT is the floor — a clean, custom WordPress site of around five pages that you own outright. The tiers run 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT depending on pages, custom design and functionality, and fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% to start and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you sign off the full design before I write a single line of production code. No surprise "maintenance package" at the end, no monthly rent just to keep your own site online.
