Most NGO website projects in Chittagong fail at development, not design. The mockup looked fine. The build is what broke.
Design is the easy half. The hard half is the development underneath: a donation flow that actually settles money, a CMS your Boalkhali field officer can use on a cheap phone, a reports section a grant auditor trusts, and clean code you fully own at the end. I build all of that myself for NGOs across Chattogram. One senior developer, no agency, no junior touching your donor data. Starts at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Around 5 years writing and shipping production websites across Bangladesh. Solo. I scope it, code it, deploy it, and hand you the keys.

The call I get most from Chittagong NGOs is not "we have no website." It is "we have a website and it is quietly broken." The donate button throws an error nobody noticed for four months. The login to edit the news section was never handed over, so the founder has been paying a vendor in Agrabad 2,000 taka per blog post. The old developer used a nulled premium theme that now shows a license warning to every visitor. None of that is a design failure. It is a development and ownership failure, and it is the part most cheap quotes skip entirely.
I am RH Fardin, a website designer and developer with roughly five years of work behind me and a portfolio at rhfardin.com. When you hire me for NGO web design in Chittagong, you are hiring the person who writes the code, not an account manager who forwards your messages to a junior in another city. That matters more on an NGO build than almost any other kind of site, because the development decisions, where donor data lives, how receipts are generated, who can publish a field report, are decisions a trustee will eventually have to answer for.
So I build for the people who actually run the org after launch, not just the donor who visits once. The finance person needs donation records they can export when the board asks. The programme officer in Rangamati or Mirsharai needs to upload twelve photos and a paragraph from a phone without filing a ticket. The director needs to know that when a foreign funder runs due diligence, the reports page loads, the registration number is there, and nothing looks like it was abandoned in 2022. Good development is what makes all of that boring and reliable instead of a recurring emergency.
Pricing stays plain. 50,000 BDT for a focused NGO website build with a clean donate block, programmes, about and a CMS you control. 90,000 BDT for a bilingual build with a programmes library and reports archive. 1,50,000 BDT for a full donor-facing site with structured donation records and a deeper content system. Custom work, member portals, beneficiary databases, grant-reporting exports, starts at 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance to begin, 50% on launch, and nothing gets coded until you approve the design.
Six engineering decisions that separate an NGO site you own and run cheaply from one you keep paying a vendor to babysit. Every Chattogram build I ship is checked against these.
A bKash and Nagad giving flow that is tested end to end with a real transaction before launch, plus a bank block for corporate CSR transfers. Not a payment button that 404s the day after handover.
Clean, documented code, no nulled themes, no hidden license warnings. You get the repository, hosting, domain and admin logins on launch day. No vendor lock-in, no per-post charges.
A trimmed admin panel your programme officer in Boalkhali or Mirsharai can run from a budget Android. News, projects, reports, gallery. If they can post on a Facebook page, they can update the site.
Donor and beneficiary details stored sensibly, forms protected against spam and abuse, HTTPS and sane backups from day one. The part an auditor or a serious funder will eventually ask about.
A searchable archive for annual reports, audited statements and project briefs, structured so a grant officer finds the right PDF without emailing you. Built to survive due diligence, not just look tidy.
If you have a dead or broken site, I migrate it cleanly, keep the URLs that already rank, redirect what changes, and move your content over so you do not start from zero in Google search.
Ask any Chattogram NGO director who has been through one bad web project and you will hear the same ending. The site launched, the invoice was paid, and then the developer became the single point of failure. Every price change on the donate page, every new annual report PDF, every team photo swap meant a WhatsApp message, a wait, and often a small bill. That is not a technical limitation. It is a business model, build it so the client cannot run it alone, and the vendor keeps earning forever.
For an NGO running on grant money and small donations, that quiet leak is the difference between a site that pays for itself and one that drains the communications budget every single month.
I develop NGO websites in Chittagong to do the opposite of that. The whole project is built so you do not need me after launch unless you want me. On handover day you get the admin logins, the hosting account, the domain control, the code repository, and a short screen-recorded walkthrough in plain language showing your team how to add a programme, upload a report, post news, and read the donation records.
The donate flow is tested with a live bKash transaction so you have actually seen money move before you sign off. If something breaks later, you can call me and pay per task, or hand it to your own IT person with the documentation I leave behind, your choice, not a trap. That is what "development" should mean: a thing that is built, finished, and genuinely yours, not a subscription to your own website.

Straight answers to what Chittagong NGO founders and programme managers ask me on the first message.
A focused NGO website build in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT and covers a donate block, programmes, about, contact and a CMS you control. A bilingual build with a programmes library and reports archive is 90,000 BDT. A full donor-facing site with structured donation records and a deeper content system is 1,50,000 BDT. Custom development, member portals, beneficiary databases or grant-reporting exports, starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Yes, that is a large part of what I do for Chattogram NGOs. I audit the existing site, keep whatever content and URLs are worth keeping so you do not lose your Google ranking, set up redirects for anything that changes, and rebuild the parts that are broken, usually the donate flow, the CMS, and the security. If the old site was built on a nulled theme or a dead platform, I migrate you off it cleanly onto code you fully own.
I do, personally, start to finish. There is no agency layer and no junior. The same person who scopes the project writes the code, sets up the donation flow, and configures where donor and beneficiary information is stored. For an NGO that is the point: one accountable person handling sensitive data, not a rotating team you never meet.
Yes. I build a bKash and Nagad giving flow with your NGO's numbers and test it with a real transaction before launch, so you have watched money actually move into the right account before sign-off. I also add a clearly labelled bank block for corporate CSR transfers from Chittagong companies. The reason so many NGO donate buttons are dead is that nobody tested them with real money, that does not happen on my builds.
No. On launch day you get the admin logins, hosting, domain, code repository, and a screen-recorded walkthrough showing your team how to add programmes, upload reports, post news and read donation records. Most edits you will handle yourself. If you want me for bigger work later I bill per task or a small monthly retainer, your choice. No lock-in, no per-post charges, no surprise renewal fees.
A 50,000 BDT focused build usually ships in 2 to 3 weeks once you send content and your bKash/Nagad numbers. A 90,000 BDT bilingual build with a reports archive is about 3 to 4 weeks. A 1,50,000 BDT full donor-facing site runs roughly 4 to 6 weeks. The delay is almost always content, annual reports, trustee photos, programme write-ups, not the development. Design is approved before any code is written.
