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 hiring a freelance WordPress developer in Chittagong often goes. 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.
Now you hold a site you can't edit. There's no admin login, no list of plugins, 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. You only find 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 it all. I handle discovery, the design in Figma, the theme and PHP, the WordPress setup, the launch and the handover. No junior practises on your business, and no subcontractor quietly takes the work.
Say a plugin update breaks checkout six months from now, the night before a shipment goes out. You message me on WhatsApp. The person who picks up is the one 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 must do. Think importers and exporters, C&F and indenting agents, and shipping and forwarding lines. Think commodity and raw-material suppliers, garment buying houses and the light manufacturing feeding the port. These firms don't need a flashy site. They need one that convinces a foreign principal in Singapore or a sourcing office in Guangzhou that they're real before replying to an email.
So I build WordPress you can keep current yourself. It has a product or service catalogue and a downloadable company profile. It has clean bilingual pages. The English must satisfy an overseas buyer, and the Bangla serves local partners. It is all editable from a dashboard you control, because prices and shipments here move every week.
Pricing is published, not haggled shipment by shipment. 50,000 BDT is the floor, for a clean, custom WordPress site of about five pages that you own outright. The tiers run 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, based on pages, custom design and features. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT.
You pay 50% to start and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. You sign off the full design before I write any production code. No surprise "maintenance package" at the end, and no monthly rent just to keep your own site online.
