Who actually builds it
What 'company' should mean for a Motijheel store
The owner of a thirty-year-old Motijheel trading firm rarely searches for an online store development company in Motijheel herself. The son does. Since he was a teenager, he has watched the family business move hardware, stationery, electronics or imported goods. It all runs on phone calls and a salesman's memory. He knows the order book is one resignation away from chaos.
He wants to put it online. He has been told to hire a 'company' rather than a freelancer, because a company sounds accountable. Then he gets the agency quote. It has a five-line spec, a number with no breakdown, and an account manager who has never sold a carton of anything. This page is for him.
Here is the honest version of what 'company' buys you on a project this size, and what it does not. It does not buy you a better-built store. One or two people do the coding, no matter how big the logo on the proposal is. What it should buy you is accountability. That means a name to call when checkout breaks at month-end, a contract that survives a staff member leaving, and someone who owns the result.
The trouble is that in a large shop, your project is one of forty. Your senior developer gets moved to other work. The account manager between you and the build slowly turns your needs into a brief that loses half its meaning.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer. I have spent about five years building the kind of stores Dhaka really runs on. I work as a one-person company on purpose. The person who answers your message designs the store, wires the payments, sets up the order panel and ships it. No junior learns on your project. There is no offshore handoff, and no layer turning what you said into something else.
The accountability you wanted from 'a company' is sharper here, not weaker. There is exactly one name on the work, and it is on the work.
Pricing is fixed and written down, so the breakdown is never a mystery. The floor is 50,000 BDT for a real, launched store. Tiers move to 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT as you add variants, accounts and gateway integration. Fully custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is fifty per cent advance and fifty per cent on launch. I do not start development until you sign off the design.
That is the whole arrangement. There is no retainer you forgot you were paying. There is no scope that quietly doubles after the advance clears.
