Most NGO websites in Dhaka are not built. They are a theme with a logo dropped on top, then abandoned the day the grant that paid for it closed.
I do NGO website development in Dhaka the way it should be done. The site survives a donor's due-diligence click. Your programme officer can actually run the CMS. The Bangla and English content matches. The donate flow has real bKash and Nagad details, not a button that secretly emails a contact form. One senior developer, no agency, no juniors. From 50,000 BDT.
One senior operator, with about five years building sites across Bangladesh. 50% advance, 50% on launch. You approve the design before I write a single line of code.

Here is the call I get most often about NGO website development in Dhaka. Someone in the admin or comms team has just inherited a website nobody on staff can edit. The agency that built it three years ago has gone quiet. The developer's number stopped working. The donate button opens a contact form that goes to an inbox no one checks. And a funder's officer is visiting next week.
The annual report on the site is from 2021, because uploading the new one needs 'the developer'. That is not a design problem. It is what happens when an NGO site is themed and handed over, but never developed to be run by the people who own it.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer with about five years behind me. My portfolio is at rhfardin.com. I do every part of the NGO website development I take on myself. That means the wireframe, the bilingual content structure, the donation setup, the reports archive and the CMS handover.
There is no account manager between us and no junior learning on your project. I scope your FD-6 and FD-7 reality, your donor mix and your thematic areas. I am also the person editing your homepage at 11 PM before a board meeting.
Development, done properly, is the part Dhaka NGOs get short-changed on. A foundation grant has a project period. Funders often want a microsite or results page tied to that one project, co-branded with the donor's logo. It goes live for the funded years and gets archived cleanly afterwards. Multiple donors mean multiple logos that must sit together without looking like a sponsor wall.
M&E teams produce numbers that should feed an impact section, not a dead 'Coming Soon'. None of that is theme work. It is build work. It is exactly what separates NGO web design in Dhaka that ages well from one that breaks by the next reporting cycle.
Pricing stays honest, because NGOs run on audited grant lines, not open budgets. 50,000 BDT buys a focused bilingual donor-trust site of six to eight pages. It includes About with registration numbers, programmes, a transparency section, news and a clean donate page with your bKash and Nagad details. 90,000 BDT adds a structured projects archive, a multi-author newsroom and live bKash and Nagad donations.
1,50,000 BDT is the flagship build. It adds project microsites, a searchable annual-report and audit archive, a custom impact dashboard if your M&E data justifies it, and full Dhaka SEO. Custom builds for federations or multi-country offices with donor-CRM integration start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% advance by bKash, Nagad or bank, and 50% on launch. It is written plainly on the invoice.
Here are six things directors, comms leads and admin officers at Dhaka NGOs notice months after launch. They come from a site built to be run and to last, not just to look good in the launch screenshot.
NGOAB registration, FD-6 approvals, audited financials and the latest annual report sit in one transparency section. A funder's officer can verify it in two clicks. That is the exact check that decides whether your proposal makes the funded pile.
A donor-funded project gets its own results page or microsite, co-branded with the funder's logo. It stays live for the project period and is archived cleanly afterwards. I build it as a repeatable structure, not a one-off page someone hacks together for each grant.
The CMS is trimmed to what your team really does: news, projects, reports, gallery, team and donations. After a one-hour handover, your programme officer can upload a new annual report from a phone. No developer on standby, and no three-day wait to fix a comma.
A real donate flow with your bKash and Nagad merchant details done properly. Higher tiers add live SSLCommerz or aamarPay, so donors stay on your domain and get a numbered receipt. It is not a button that quietly emails a contact form.
Bangla and English are separate, hand-written content, with a clean toggle and a proper Bengali webfont. Your Geneva funder reads the report in English. The NGOAB and your Dhaka stakeholders read Bangla that says the same thing.
Compressed images, lazy loading and a lean build. The site opens fast for a field officer on two bars of Grameenphone in your project upazila, not only for the donor on Gulshan fibre.
Most vendors in Dhaka sell NGO websites as a design job. They pick a theme, choose stock photos, drop in the logo and launch. But NGO sites here rarely fail because of how they looked on day one. They fail because of what was never built underneath. When I audit sites before quoting a redesign, the same gaps repeat. The donate button is wired to a contact form. The reports section is one PDF from 2020. The board listing is two cycles out of date.
Project galleries turned into broken image links after a host move. The Bangla version is a Google Translate widget the NGOAB would never accept. A funder checking even a five-lakh-taka grant clicks through all that in ninety seconds. They form a verdict you never get to argue with. Proper NGO website development in Dhaka means building the things you cannot see in a screenshot. A 'project', a 'report' and a 'board member' become real, structured types your team fills in, not pages laid out by hand.
The donation flow stays on your domain and issues a numbered receipt that an NBR auditor or a foreign grant officer accepts. Every Bangla page has a real English twin with its own indexable URL. A closed project's microsite folds neatly into the archive, so it never becomes a dead link. I build the trust layer first: registration in the footer, the latest audit near the homepage, real team photos and a map of your upazilas. Then the CMS, and the donate flow last.
Once everything before it is honest, the donate flow simply works. The 50,000 BDT tier puts this whole framework in place for a bilingual site of six to eight pages. 90,000 BDT adds the projects archive, the newsroom and live giving. 1,50,000 BDT covers project microsites, the full report archive and an impact dashboard. That is the difference between a site that was developed and one that was merely decorated.

The floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused bilingual donor-trust site of six to eight pages. It covers About with registration numbers, programmes, a transparency section, news and a donate page with your bKash and Nagad details. 90,000 BDT adds a projects archive, a multi-author newsroom and live bKash and Nagad donations. 1,50,000 BDT adds project microsites, a searchable report and audit archive, an impact dashboard and full Dhaka SEO. Federation or multi-country builds with donor-CRM start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Design is how it looks: layout, type and photos. Development is everything underneath that keeps the site usable for years. It includes a content model, so your team can add a project or report without a developer. It includes a donation flow that really charges and issues a receipt. It includes indexable bilingual URLs and an archive pattern for closed projects. Most Dhaka NGO sites were designed but never developed, so they break a cycle or two after launch. I do both, but development protects your grant money.
Yes, and I build it as a repeatable structure, not a one-off. A donor-funded project gets its own results page or microsite. It is co-branded with the funder's logo and has its own outcomes, gallery and reports. It goes live for the project period and archives cleanly when the grant closes. It never becomes a dead link in next year's report. From the 1,50,000 BDT tier, this is a standard part of the build. If you run several donor projects, each new one is quick to set up.
I audit it first and tell you honestly. Sometimes the structure can be saved, and I rebuild the donation flow, the CMS and the bilingual layer on top. More often, the donate button is a contact form, the Bangla is Google-translated and editing the board needs the old developer. Then a clean rebuild costs less over the grant cycle than patching someone else's shortcuts. It uses a content model your own team can run. Either way, you own everything at the end: hosting, domain, admin and code.
Both are options, but they are not the same. The 50,000 BDT tier gives a proper donate page with your bKash and Nagad merchant numbers and bank details. From 90,000 BDT, I set up live bKash and Nagad, with SSLCommerz or aamarPay as a card and bank backup. Donors stay on your domain, see an on-screen confirmation and get an emailed, numbered receipt. Most Dhaka vendors leave a static QR because it is free. It also makes a cautious donor leave at the worst moment.
Yes, that is the point of building it properly. The admin panel is trimmed to your real workflow: usually news, projects, reports, gallery, team and donations. Your comms or admin officer gets a 45-minute screen-share walkthrough in Bangla, plus a written guide. I hand over documentation, admin logins and code access, with no lock-in. If your team can run a Facebook Page, they can run this site. That holds whether your office is in Gulshan, Mohakhali, Dhanmondi or Uttara.
