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: a site that survives a donor's due-diligence click, a CMS your programme officer can actually run, bilingual Bangla-English content that matches, and a donate flow with 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.

Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Here is the call I get most often in Dhaka: someone in the admin or comms team has just inherited a website nobody on staff knows how to 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. That is what happens when an NGO site is themed and handed over, but never actually developed to be run by the people who own it.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer in Bangladesh with roughly five years behind me, portfolio at rhfardin.com. I personally do every part of NGO website development in Dhaka that I take on — the wireframe, the bilingual content structure, the donation integration, the reports archive, the CMS handover. There is no account manager between us and no junior learning on your project. The person who scopes your FD-6 and FD-7 reality, your donor mix and your thematic areas is the same person editing your homepage at 11 PM before a board meeting.
Development, properly done, is the part Dhaka NGOs get short-changed on. A foundation grant has a project period; funders often want a microsite or a results page tied to that specific project, co-branded with the donor's logo, that goes live for the funded years and gets archived clean afterwards. Multiple donors mean multiple logos that have to 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, and it is exactly what separates an NGO web design in Dhaka that ages well from one that is broken by the next reporting cycle.
Pricing stays honest because NGOs run on audited grant lines, not open budgets. 50,000 BDT for a focused bilingual donor-trust site — six to eight pages, 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 donation integration.
1,50,000 BDT is the flagship build — 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. 50% advance via bKash, Nagad or bank, 50% on launch, written plainly on the invoice.
Six things directors, comms leads and admin officers at Dhaka NGOs notice months after launch — because the site was 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 a transparency section a funder's officer verifies in two clicks — 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, live for the project period and archived cleanly afterwards. Built as a repeatable structure, not a one-off page someone has to hack together each grant.
The CMS is trimmed to what your team actually does — news, projects, reports, gallery, team, donations. Your programme officer uploads a new annual report from a phone after a one-hour handover, with no developer on standby and no three-day wait for a comma.
A real donate flow with your bKash and Nagad merchant details done properly, plus live SSLCommerz or aamarPay on higher tiers so donors stay on your domain and get a receipt with a number — not a button that quietly emails a contact form.
Bangla and English as 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 actually says the same thing.
Compressed images, lazy loading and a lean build, so 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 exercise — pick a theme, choose stock photos, drop in the logo, launch. The reasons NGO sites fail here are almost never about how they looked on day one. They fail because of what was never built underneath.
When I audit existing sites before quoting a redesign, the same development debts repeat: a donate button wired to a contact form, a reports section that is one PDF from 2020 with a placeholder for everything since, a board listing two cycles out of date because editing it needs the original developer, project galleries that became broken image links after a host migration, and a Bangla version that is a Google Translate widget the NGOAB would never accept.
A funder running due diligence on even a five-lakh-taka grant clicks through that in ninety seconds and forms 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 content model where a 'project' and a 'report' and a 'board member' are real, structured types your team fills in — not free-text pages a developer has to lay out by hand every time. A donation flow that stays on your domain and issues a numbered receipt an NBR auditor or a foreign grant officer accepts. A bilingual structure where every Bangla page has a real English twin with indexable language-switch URLs.
An archive pattern so a closed project's microsite folds neatly into history instead of becoming a dead link in next year's report. I build the trust layer first — registration in the footer, the latest audit one click from the homepage, real team photos, a project-locations map pinned to the upazilas you actually work in — then the CMS your comms officer runs, then the donate flow last, because once everything before it is honest, the donate flow simply works.
The 50,000 BDT tier puts that whole scaffolding in place for a six-to-eight-page bilingual site; 90,000 BDT adds the projects archive, 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.

Design is how it looks — layout, typography, photos. Development is everything underneath that makes the site usable for years: a content model so your team can add a project or report without a developer, a donation flow that actually charges and issues a receipt, indexable bilingual URLs, and an archive pattern for closed projects. Most Dhaka NGO sites were designed but never properly developed, which is why they break a cycle or two after launch. I do both, but the development is where your grant money is genuinely protected.
Yes, and I build it as a repeatable structure rather than a one-off. A donor-funded project gets its own results page or microsite — co-branded with the funder's logo, with its own outcomes, gallery and reports — that goes live for the project period and archives cleanly when the grant closes, without becoming 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, the pattern means each new one is quick to spin up instead of starting from scratch.
I audit it first and tell you honestly. Sometimes the structure is salvageable and I rebuild the donation flow, the CMS and the bilingual layer on top. More often, when the donate button is a contact form, the Bangla is Google-translated and editing the board needs the original developer, a clean rebuild on a content model your own team can run costs less over the grant cycle than patching someone else's shortcuts. Either way you own everything at the end — hosting, domain, admin and the code.
Both are options, but they are not the same thing. The 50,000 BDT tier gives a proper donate page with your bKash and Nagad merchant numbers and bank details done cleanly. From 90,000 BDT I set up live bKash and Nagad integration, with SSLCommerz or aamarPay as a card and bank fallback, so donors stay on your domain, see an on-screen confirmation and get an emailed receipt with a number. A static QR is what most Dhaka vendors leave because it is free — and 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, nothing more. Your comms or admin officer gets a 45-minute screen-share walkthrough in Bangla plus a written guide, and I hand over documentation, admin credentials and code access — no lock-in. If your team can run a Facebook Page, they can run this site, whether your office is in Gulshan, Mohakhali, Dhanmondi or Uttara.
