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 in Bangladesh. I personally design and build every NGO site I take on — the homepage, the annual report library, the bilingual programme pages, the bKash/Nagad donation flow, the board and team page a funder reads line by line. No agency, no juniors, no handoffs. NGO websites from 50,000 BDT, 50% advance, 50% on launch, design-approval guarantee before a single line of code.
One senior operator. ~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 — 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, before a foundation in Banani forwards your concept note upward, somebody quietly opens your site on their phone. They are not admiring your hero photo.
They are checking three things: is there a real annual report, is the board named, and was this site touched in the last twelve months. Most Dhaka NGOs lose at that exact moment — not on the proposal, but on a website that looks like nobody works there anymore.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with roughly five years building sites across Bangladesh, including for organisations in the non-profit and development space. When you search "ngo website design in dhaka" and click an ad, you usually land in a meeting with a smooth senior, and then get handed to a junior who has never built a donation flow, never thought about FD-6/FD-7 transparency, and 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 entire problem I built my practice to remove.
There is no agency here. No project manager forwarding your emails, no offshore subcontractor, no "client success executive" sending automated check-ins. The senior who sits across from your executive director in Dhanmondi or Mohakhali is the same senior who designs the homepage, writes the bilingual programme pages, builds the annual-report and audited-accounts library, wires up the bKash and Nagad donation flow, optimises the page weight for a field coordinator opening it on 4G in Kurigram, and pushes the final build live. When your communications lead WhatsApps me on a Friday night to publish a new project report 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 for a focused, credible NGO site — 8 to 10 pages, about, programmes, board, reports, contact, mobile-first and bilingual-ready. 90,000 BDT for a proper bilingual build with a programme/project structure, news, photo galleries, a publications library and a donation page your donors actually trust. 1,50,000 BDT for a flagship organisation site — multiple thematic areas, district project map, resource centre, careers/tender notices, full Dhaka SEO.
Custom builds with live recurring donations, a donor receipt system, a volunteer portal or a multi-programme dashboard start from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch — that is the whole commercial structure, no retainer trap.
Six things executive directors, communications leads and finance officers in Dhaka specifically notice after launch — because one accountable senior owned every part of the build instead of passing it to a junior.
Built around what a donor's due diligence actually looks for: a named board, registration and FD-6 transparency, an audited-accounts and annual-report library, and clear proof the organisation is active. The site reads like a real institution, not a startup landing page.
A real bKash and Nagad giving flow — not a screenshot of a QR code that nobody trusts. Clear amount options, a thank-you confirmation, and a layout that makes a first-time donor in Dhaka feel safe handing over money on their phone.
Bilingual from day one with correct Bangla webfonts, sane line-height for both scripts, and language-switch URLs Google can index — so your field stories read naturally in Bangla and your donor reports read cleanly in English. No Google Translate widget.
A self-service section where you post annual reports, audited accounts, project briefs and policies as clean PDFs. When a funder asks “send me your latest report,” you send one link instead of digging through email.
Around 80% of your traffic in Bangladesh is mobile, and half your own team opens the site on weak upazila signal. Pages are kept light and fast so 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, and a "Reports" tab that is either empty or last updated three years ago. That works fine until the one moment it matters: a grant officer, a corporate CSR lead, or an individual donor lands on the site cold and tries to answer a single 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 (a named, photographed board and senior team), is it real and registered (registration and FD-6/NGO Affairs Bureau transparency stated plainly), what has it actually done (programme pages with locations and outcomes, not adjectives), and is the money accounted for (a visible library of annual reports and audited statements). I design the whole site around making those four answers obvious, not buried.
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, no junior who has never seen a donor audit. The donation flow is wired to real bKash and Nagad with a proper confirmation, not a static QR. The reports library is something your communications officer updates from a laptop in two minutes, so transparency stays current instead of rotting after launch.
And nothing is built until you have signed off on the design — that is the design-approval guarantee. For a Dhaka NGO — Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Mohakhali, Mirpur, Uttara, anywhere — that lives or dies on whether a stranger trusts it in ninety seconds, one accountable operator who actually 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 deadline-sensitive builds before a funding round do not slip.

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 — 8 to 10 pages covering about, programmes, board, reports and contact, mobile-first and bilingual-ready. 90,000 BDT for a proper bilingual build with a full programme/project structure, news, galleries, a publications library and a trustworthy donation page. 1,50,000 BDT for a flagship organisation site with multiple thematic areas, a district project map, resource centre, careers and tender notices, and full Dhaka SEO. Custom builds with live recurring donations, a donor receipt system or a volunteer portal start from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch — no monthly retainer.
I design the site around the four things a funder verifies cold: a named, photographed board and senior team; your registration and FD-6/NGO Affairs Bureau status stated plainly; programme pages with real locations and outcomes instead of adjectives; and a clean, current library of annual reports and audited accounts. The goal is that a grant officer in Gulshan can answer “can I trust this organisation” in under two minutes without emailing you. That credibility layer is included from the 50,000 BDT tier upward.
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), and a thank-you confirmation so a first-time donor feels safe. A basic donation page sits in the 90,000 BDT tier; live recurring giving with an automated receipt 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. Proper Bangla webfonts, correct line-height for both scripts, and language-switch URLs Google can actually index. Your field stories and beneficiary voices read naturally in Bangla; your impact data and reports read cleanly in English for funders. 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 — a small organisation in Mirpur or Mohammadpur with a clean board page, honest programme outcomes and a current reports library reads as more trustworthy than a large NGO with a flashy site and an empty Reports tab. I build the 50,000 BDT tier specifically so smaller organisations get a site a donor takes seriously.
Yes — that is built in deliberately. Posting a new annual report, a project brief, a tender notice or a news update takes a couple of minutes from a laptop, and I record a short walkthrough and do a screen-share training session with your comms person. You should never have 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 — and it usually ships the same day.
