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 of NGO website development in Chittagong. The hard half is the code. You need a donation flow that really settles money and a CMS your Boalkhali field officer can use on a cheap phone. You need reports a grant auditor trusts, and clean code you fully own. I build it all myself for NGOs across Chattogram. One senior developer, no agency, no junior near your donor data. It starts at 50,000 BDT, with 50% in advance and 50% on launch.
About 5 years writing and shipping live websites across Bangladesh. Solo. I scope it, code it, launch it and hand you the keys.

The call I get most about NGO website development in Chittagong 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 pirated premium theme that now shows a license warning to every visitor. None of that is a design failure. It is a failure of development and ownership, and it is the part most cheap quotes skip entirely.
I am RH Fardin, a website designer and developer with about five years of work behind me and a portfolio at rhfardin.com. When you hire me for NGO web design in Chittagong, you hire the person who writes the code. You do not get 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. Where does donor data live? How are receipts made? Who can publish a field report? These are development choices, and a trustee will one day have to answer for them.
So I build for the people who 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 the site holds up when a foreign funder runs due diligence. The reports page loads, the registration number is there, and nothing looks abandoned since 2022. Good development makes all of that boring and reliable, instead of a repeat emergency.
Pricing stays plain. It is 50,000 BDT for a focused NGO website with a clean donate block, programmes, about page and a CMS you control. It is 90,000 BDT for a bilingual build with a programmes library and reports archive. It is 1,50,000 BDT for a full donor-facing site with structured donation records and a deeper content system.
Custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That covers member portals, beneficiary databases and grant-reporting exports. You pay 50% in advance to begin and 50% on launch. Nothing gets coded until you approve the design.
Here are six build choices that decide your future. One path gives you an NGO site you own and run cheaply. The other gives you one you keep paying a vendor to babysit. Every Chattogram build I ship is checked against these.
You get a bKash and Nagad giving flow tested end to end with a real payment before launch. I add a bank block for corporate CSR transfers. It is not a payment button that breaks the day after handover.
Clean, documented code, with no pirated themes and no hidden license warnings. You get the code repository, hosting, domain and admin logins on launch day. No vendor lock-in and no per-post charges.
A simple admin panel your programme officer in Boalkhali or Mirsharai can run from a budget Android. It covers news, projects, reports and gallery. If they can post on a Facebook page, they can update the site.
Donor and beneficiary details are stored with care. Forms are protected against spam and abuse. HTTPS and regular backups run from day one. This is the part an auditor or serious funder will one day ask about.
A searchable archive holds annual reports, audited statements and project briefs. A grant officer finds the right PDF without emailing you. It is built to survive due diligence, not just look tidy.
If your site is dead or broken, I move it cleanly. I keep the URLs that already rank, redirect what changes and bring your content over. That way you do not start from zero in Google search.
Ask any Chattogram NGO director who has been through one bad web project. 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 meant a WhatsApp message, a wait and often a small bill. So did every new annual report PDF and every team photo swap.
That is not a technical limit. It is a business model: build it so the client cannot run it alone, and the vendor keeps earning forever. An NGO runs on grant money and small donations. For you, that quiet leak decides if the site pays for itself or drains the communications budget every month.
I develop NGO websites in Chittagong to do the opposite. 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 and the code repository. You also get a short screen-recorded walkthrough in plain language. It shows your team how to add a programme, upload a report, post news and read the donation records.
I test the donate flow with a live bKash payment, so you see money move before you sign off. If something breaks later, you can call me and pay per task. Or you can hand it to your own IT person with the notes I leave behind. Your choice, not a trap. That is what "development" should mean: a thing that is built, finished and truly yours, not a subscription to your own website.

Straight answers to what Chittagong NGO founders and programme managers ask me in the first message.
A focused NGO website build in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT. It 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 starts at 3,00,000 BDT, for things like member portals, beneficiary databases or grant-reporting exports. Payment is 50% in advance and 50% on launch.
Yes, that is a large part of what I do for Chattogram NGOs. I audit the current site first. I keep the content and URLs worth keeping, so you do not lose your Google ranking, and I redirect anything that changes. Then I rebuild the broken parts, which are usually the donate flow, the CMS and the security. If the old site sits on a pirated theme or a dead platform, I move you off it cleanly onto code you fully own.
I do, personally, from start to finish. There is no agency layer and no junior. The same person who scopes the project writes the code and sets up the donation flow. I also decide where donor and beneficiary details are stored. For an NGO that is the point: one person who answers for your sensitive data, not a rotating team you never meet.
Yes. I build a bKash and Nagad giving flow with your NGO's numbers. I test it with a real payment before launch, so you watch money reach the right account before sign-off. I also add a clearly labelled bank block for corporate CSR transfers from Chittagong companies. So many NGO donate buttons are dead because nobody tested them with real money. That does not happen on my builds.
No. On launch day you get the admin logins, hosting, domain and code repository. You also get a screen-recorded walkthrough. It shows your team how to add programmes, upload reports, post news and read donation records. You will handle most edits 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 and no surprise renewal fees.
A 50,000 BDT focused build usually ships in 2 to 3 weeks once you send content and your bKash and Nagad numbers. A 90,000 BDT bilingual build with a reports archive takes about 3 to 4 weeks. A 1,50,000 BDT full donor-facing site takes about 4 to 6 weeks. The delay is almost always content, not development. Think annual reports, trustee photos and programme write-ups. You approve the design before any code is written.
