In Dhaka, a programme officer at a donor checks your website before your proposal ever reaches the funding committee. If it looks abandoned, you are out before the meeting.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior website designer and developer who does NGO website design in Dhaka. I design and build every NGO site I take on myself. That covers the homepage, the annual report library, the bilingual programme pages and the bKash and Nagad donation flow. It covers the board and team page a funder reads line by line. No agency, no juniors, no handoffs. NGO websites start from 50,000 BDT.
50% advance, 50% on launch, and a design-approval guarantee before a single line of code. One senior operator with about 5 years building Bangladesh websites, including development-sector sites. The person you message on WhatsApp is the person editing your homepage at 11 PM.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Dhaka is the head-office city for the development sector, so NGO website design in Dhaka carries real weight. The NGO Affairs Bureau is here. The country offices of the big international funders are here. And so is the unspoken rule that your website is part of your due diligence file. Before a grant officer in Gulshan books a meeting, somebody quietly opens your site on their phone. The same happens before a foundation in Banani forwards your concept note upward.
They are not admiring your hero photo. They are checking three things. Is there a real annual report? Is the board named? Was this site touched in the last twelve months? Most Dhaka NGOs lose at that exact moment. They do not lose on the proposal. They lose on a website that looks like nobody works there anymore.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer. I have about five years of building sites for Bangladeshi clients, including organisations in the non-profit and development space. Search for NGO web design in Dhaka and click an ad, and you usually land in a meeting with a smooth senior. Then you get handed to a junior. The junior has never built a donation flow or thought about FD-6 and FD-7 transparency.
That junior treats your impact data like decorative filler text. The senior moves on to the next pitch. The junior ships a brochure with a dead donate button. That gap is the whole problem I built my practice to remove. There is no agency here. No project manager forwarding your emails, no offshore subcontractor, and no "client success executive" sending automated check-ins.
The senior on the Google Meet call with your executive director is the same senior who designs the homepage. I write the bilingual programme pages and build the annual report and audited accounts library. I wire up the bKash and Nagad donation flow. I trim page weight for a field coordinator opening the site on 4G in Kurigram. Then I push the final build live.
Say your communications lead WhatsApps me on a Friday night. They need a new project report up before a Monday donor call. I open the code and ship it. Pricing is plain, because NGOs run on grants and accountability, not vanity budgets.
50,000 BDT buys a focused, credible NGO site of 8 to 10 pages: about, programmes, board, reports and contact, mobile-first and bilingual-ready. 90,000 BDT buys a proper bilingual build with a programme and project structure, news, photo galleries, a publications library and a donation page donors trust. 1,50,000 BDT buys a flagship site with several thematic areas, a district project map, a resource centre, careers and tender notices, and full Dhaka SEO.
Custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. They cover live recurring donations, a donor receipt system, a volunteer portal or a multi-programme dashboard. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch. That is the whole commercial structure, with no retainer trap.
Here are six things executive directors, communications leads and finance officers in Dhaka notice after launch. They happen because one accountable senior owned every part of the build, instead of passing it to a junior.
The site is built around what a donor's due diligence looks for. That means a named board, registration and FD-6 transparency, an audited accounts and annual report library, and clear proof the organisation is active. It reads like a real institution, not a startup landing page.
You get a real bKash and Nagad giving flow, not a screenshot of a QR code nobody trusts. It has clear amount options and a thank-you confirmation. The layout makes a first-time donor in Dhaka feel safe handing over money on their phone.
The site is bilingual from day one, with correct Bangla webfonts, good line-height for both scripts and language URLs Google can index. Field stories read naturally in Bangla. Donor reports read cleanly in English. No Google Translate widget.
A self-service section lets you post annual reports, audited accounts, project briefs and policies as clean PDFs. When a funder asks for your latest report, you send one link. No more digging through email.
About 80% of your traffic in Bangladesh is mobile. Half your own team opens the site on weak upazila signal. So pages stay light and fast. Your work shows in a couple of seconds on a mid-range Android, not after a spinner.
After launch, you message the same person who designed and coded the site. A new report before a donor call, a corrected board photo, an urgent tender notice: most fixes happen the same day. Not next sprint after a ticket review.
Most NGO websites I audit in Dhaka were built like company brochures. A glossy mission statement. A slider of beneficiary photos. A donate button that links nowhere. A "Reports" tab that is empty or three years old. That works until the one moment it matters. A grant officer, a corporate CSR lead or a single donor lands on the site cold. They try to answer one question in under two minutes. Can I trust where this money goes?
A development organisation does not earn that trust with a nicer hero image. It earns it with structure. Who runs this? Show a named, photographed board and senior team. Is it real and registered? State registration and FD-6 and NGO Affairs Bureau status plainly. What has it done? Show programme pages with locations and outcomes, not adjectives. Is the money accounted for? Keep a visible library of annual reports and audited statements. I design the whole site to make those four answers obvious.
I built my practice around the opposite of the brochure habit. The senior you meet is the senior who writes the code. There is no second person, and no junior who has never seen a donor audit. The donation flow runs on real bKash and Nagad with a proper confirmation, not a static QR. Your communications officer updates the reports library from a laptop in two minutes. So transparency stays current instead of rotting after launch.
And nothing is built until you sign off on the design. That is the design-approval guarantee. A Dhaka NGO in Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Mohakhali, Mirpur or Uttara lives or dies on whether a stranger trusts it in ninety seconds. One accountable operator who understands the sector is worth more than a ten-seat agency that treats your annual report as filler. I take a limited number of projects a month, so builds timed for a funding round do not slip.

These are the real questions executive directors, finance officers and communications leads in Dhaka ask me before signing.
The floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, credible NGO site of 8 to 10 pages, mobile-first and bilingual-ready. 90,000 BDT buys a proper bilingual build with programme pages, news, galleries, a publications library and a trusted donation page. 1,50,000 BDT buys a flagship site with thematic areas, a district project map, a resource centre, tender notices and full Dhaka SEO. Custom builds with recurring donations, donor receipts or a volunteer portal start from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch, and no monthly retainer.
I design the site around the four things a funder checks cold. First, a named, photographed board and senior team. Second, your registration and FD-6 and NGO Affairs Bureau status, stated plainly. Third, programme pages with real locations and outcomes instead of adjectives. Fourth, a clean, current library of annual reports and audited accounts. A grant officer in Gulshan should be able to trust you in under two minutes without emailing you. That layer is included from the 50,000 BDT tier up.
Yes. A static QR screenshot is exactly why most NGO donate buttons in Dhaka get no traffic. Nobody trusts a number with no confirmation. I build a proper giving flow with clear amount options, bKash and Nagad, and SSLCommerz where you want cards. A thank-you confirmation makes a first-time donor feel safe. A basic donation page sits in the 90,000 BDT tier. Live recurring giving with automated receipts and donor records is the custom tier, from 3,00,000 BDT.
Yes. Bilingual is the default for Dhaka NGO web design, and I plan it from day one. You get proper Bangla webfonts, correct line-height for both scripts and language URLs Google can index. Your field stories and beneficiary voices read naturally in Bangla. Your impact data and reports read cleanly in English for funders. There is no Google Translate widget bolted onto a template. Both languages look intentional.
That is exactly the point of hiring one senior who designs it properly. Credibility online comes from structure and clarity, not budget. Take a small organisation in Mirpur or Mohammadpur with a clean board page, honest programme outcomes and a current reports library. It reads as more trustworthy than a large NGO with a flashy site and an empty Reports tab. I built the 50,000 BDT tier so smaller organisations get an NGO website in Dhaka that a donor takes seriously.
Yes, and that is built in on purpose. Posting a new annual report, project brief, tender notice or news update takes a couple of minutes from a laptop. I record a short walkthrough and run a screen-share training session with your comms person. You should never need to message me to put up a routine report. When you do WhatsApp me for something urgent before a donor call, it is the same person who built the site. It usually ships the same day.
