Hire a WordPress developer in Chittagong who hands you a site you can log into, edit, and own — not a locked black box you have to pay him to touch.
Most people in Chattogram who set out to hire a WordPress developer end up with one of two messes: a Facebook freelancer who built it on a nulled theme and three pirated plugins that stop updating, or an Agrabad shop that keeps the admin password "for security" so you can never leave. I am one senior operator who personally builds every WordPress site, gives you full admin access, and writes down what every plugin does. Hire a WordPress developer in Chittagong starting at 50,000 BDT for a clean, licensed, mobile-first build that loads on 4G in GEC traffic and that you can still update a year from now.
Solo senior WordPress developer, ~5 years building Bangladesh sites, full admin handover, 50% advance / 50% on launch, design-approval guarantee — you do not pay the final 50% until you sign off on the design.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Here is the call I get most often from Chittagong business owners. They hired a WordPress developer a year ago — a friend's cousin, a Facebook page, a small Agrabad outfit. The site looked fine at launch. Then the developer stopped replying, the contact form quietly broke, a plugin threw a white screen, and when they finally found someone to look at it, that person discovered the whole thing was built on a nulled premium theme and pirated plugins with no update path.
Worse, the original developer never handed over the admin login, so the owner cannot even change a phone number without paying someone to break back in. They did hire a WordPress developer. What they did not do was hire one who left them owning their own website.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior WordPress developer based in Bangladesh. For roughly five years I have built and shipped WordPress sites for the businesses Chattogram actually runs on — importers and clearing-and-forwarding firms around the port, traders and showrooms along GEC and CDA Avenue, clinics in Khulshi and Nasirabad, and shops selling to customers who pay by bKash and Nagad. I personally handle the discovery call, the WordPress build, the theme and plugin decisions, the on-page SEO, the speed pass, and the launch. There is no junior assigned to your account, no white-label partner doing the work behind a logo, and nothing nulled or pirated anywhere in the stack.
When you hire me, the price floor is 50,000 BDT, and that is the honest starting point for a real WordPress site. For that you get a proper strategy conversation about what your Chattogram buyer needs, a mobile-first WordPress build on a clean licensed theme, only the plugins the site genuinely requires, bKash/Nagad payment handling done properly, on-page SEO set up before launch, and full admin access handed to you with a short written guide to what each plugin does. The 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers add WooCommerce, booking, or Bangla-English without changing who is doing the work — it is still me. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT.
I charge 50 percent advance and 50 percent on launch. I will not start without the advance, and I will not chase you for the second half — it is due when you sign off on the live site. The design-approval guarantee means I keep iterating on the visual direction within scope until you actually say it is right. And unlike the developer who vanishes with your password, I hand over the keys: your own admin account, hosting and domain in your name, and a site you can run without me. That last part is the difference between hiring a developer and renting your own website back from one.
Six things that separate hiring one accountable senior dev from gambling on the cheapest Facebook quote in Chattogram — each tied to how a WordPress site really gets owned, run, and broken in this city.
Full WordPress admin account, plus hosting and domain registered in your name — not held hostage "for security." You can edit, add pages, or hand it to someone else any time, with no permission needed from me.
Every theme and plugin is properly licensed or genuinely free. No pirated premium plugins that stop updating, no marketplace theme renamed and resold — so your Chattogram site keeps getting security fixes after launch.
The person on your discovery call is the person writing the build. No "a resource will be assigned," no handover to a trainee, no quality drop the moment your advance clears the bKash.
A lean WordPress install tuned to load fast on a mid-range Android with one bar in GEC, Agrabad or port-area traffic. Right-sized plugins, cached and compressed — because a buyer waiting nine seconds is already in a competitor's tab.
Payment set up the way Chattogram customers actually pay — clean WooCommerce or a proper manual flow, no copy-pasted personal number, no confused buyer abandoning at the last step.
At launch you get a short written guide: what each plugin does, how to edit your own content, and how to make a safe backup. You hired a developer to build it once, not to be charged every time you change a price.
In Chattogram the word "hire" gets stretched to cover two very different deals, and most owners do not learn the difference until something breaks. At one end, a Facebook freelancer takes 8,000 to 25,000 taka, installs a nulled premium theme and a stack of pirated plugins, builds your site over a weekend, and moves on to the next ten clients. It looks fine in screenshots. But nulled software cannot pull official updates, so the security holes never close, and the plugins eventually conflict and crash.
When you call, the number is dead. At the other end, an Agrabad agency quotes into the lakhs and keeps you dependent on purpose — they hold the admin login, the hosting account, and the domain, so every small edit becomes a paid ticket and leaving means rebuilding from scratch. Both of these are sold as "hiring a WordPress developer." Neither one leaves you with a website you control.
When you hire me, the 50,000 BDT floor buys the opposite of both traps.
Concretely it covers a WordPress site of up to roughly five core pages built on a clean licensed theme, only the plugins the project actually needs (no bloat that slows the port-city load), a mobile-first layout tested on the phones Chattogram buyers really use, a working contact form delivered to your email and WhatsApp, on-page SEO done properly — titles, meta, schema, internal linking, image alt — Google Business Profile and Search Console connected, a bKash/Nagad payment section, and the design-approval guarantee.
Then comes the part the disappearing freelancer and the lock-in agency both skip: full admin access in your name, hosting and domain you own, and a written handover so you can run the site yourself. Need WooCommerce checkout, online booking, a real blog system, or Bangla and English versions? That is the 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT tier, and I will tell you in the call which one fits instead of padding the invoice.
Hiring a WordPress developer in Chittagong should mean you end up owning a site that works and lasts — built once, by one senior person who is still reachable in month two.

Real questions from real Chattogram buyers looking to hire a WordPress developer — starting with the one everyone asks in the first thirty seconds.
The honest floor is 50,000 BDT. That tier covers a WordPress site of up to about five pages on a clean licensed theme, only the plugins the site needs, basic on-page SEO, Google Business Profile setup, bKash/Nagad payment handling, full admin handover, and the design-approval guarantee. The next tiers are 90,000 BDT (WooCommerce, booking, blog, more pages) and 1,50,000 BDT (full store, Bangla + English, advanced features). Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50 percent advance, 50 percent on launch. Anyone in Chattogram quoting 8,000 to 25,000 taka for a real custom WordPress build is using a nulled theme or planning to disappear after the advance.
You get full admin access in your own name at launch, along with hosting and the domain registered to you — not to me. I have heard too many stories from owners around Agrabad and GEC whose developer kept the password "for security" so every edit became a paid favour. That is lock-in, not a service. When I hand over, you can log in, change a phone number, add a page, take a backup, or bring in another developer entirely — no permission from me required. Hiring me means you own the site, not rent it back.
Because 10,000 taka does not pay for a licensed theme, real build hours, testing on actual Bangladeshi phones, proper SEO, or a developer who answers after launch. That quote in Chattogram almost always means a nulled premium theme and pirated plugins that stop getting security updates, built by someone juggling ten projects who goes quiet when it breaks. At 50,000 BDT I build it clean, license everything, test it on real port-city 4G, and hand you the keys — and I am still reachable in month two. Most owners who took the 10,000-taka deal end up paying me later to rebuild it from scratch.
No, never. Everything I install is either properly licensed or genuinely free from the official WordPress repository. Nulled premium themes and pirated plugins are the single biggest reason cheap Chittagong WordPress sites break — they cannot pull official updates, so security holes stay open, and they often ship with hidden malicious code. I would rather scope the project to the right tier than poison your site with pirated software to hit a lower number. A clean licensed build is the whole reason your site still works a year after launch.
Yes — that is the point of the handover. At launch I give you a short written guide covering how to edit your pages, change text and images, add a basic post, and make a safe backup, all from your own admin login. WordPress is built for this, and I set yours up so the everyday edits do not need a developer. For bigger changes — a new feature, a redesign, a tricky plugin — you can call me, but you will never have to pay just to update a price or a phone number on your own site.
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 so customers pay and you confirm — which suits a lot of B2B and trading firms around the port. If you need fully automated WooCommerce checkout with bKash/Nagad/SSLCommerz and order management, that lives on the 1,50,000 BDT tier, because at that point you are running an actual online store, not a payment-info page, and the price reflects the real work involved.
