Your online store should be the hardest-working employee in your Uttara business. It should not be a digital business card that begs for a refresh every year.
I am RH Fardin, and I run a one-person online store development company for Uttara sellers. I'm a senior website designer and developer for Uttara shop owners, F-commerce sellers and small brands tired of agencies that vanish after launch. I build every line of code, every product page and every checkout flow myself. bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery work the way Bangladeshi buyers really shop. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT, split 50% advance and 50% on launch. And you won't approve a single design you don't like.
About 5 years building stores for Uttara, Sector 7 to Sector 14, and greater Dhaka. One senior operator, no juniors, no outsourcing.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
As an online store development company serving Uttara, I see one pattern again and again. Most local shop owners already tried a 'cheap' ecommerce site once. That includes the boutiques around Sector 7, the food brands in Sector 4 and the home decor sellers near Jashimuddin Avenue. The site looked fine in the demo.
Then bKash payments never confirmed. The COD form had no district dropdown. And the developer stopped replying on WhatsApp three weeks after launch. That is the gap I built this company to fill.
I run as a one-person senior shop on purpose. Say you message me about a broken Nagad redirect at 10 PM on a Friday. You are not talking to a junior who will pass it up the chain on Sunday. You are talking to the person who wrote the checkout.
Every Uttara client gets my direct line and a Loom walkthrough of their admin. You also get a written record of what is and isn't in scope. That way nobody plays the 'that's extra' game later.
About 5 years of building real stores has taught me one stubborn lesson. In Dhaka, the store that wins loads in under 3 seconds on a mid-range Symphony or Walton phone over 4G. It is not the prettiest one on a MacBook.
So I design mobile-first and compress images hard. I skip the heavy sliders and video backgrounds that look great in agency portfolios. Those kill sales in the real Uttara market.
Pricing is honest and printed on the page. A starter store is 50,000 BDT, mid-tier is 90,000 BDT, and growth-ready is 1,50,000 BDT. Full custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. You pay half up front and half on launch. You sign off on every design before I write code. If you don't approve, we keep refining at no extra charge.
Here are six things Uttara store owners often ask me about, and what I do about each one. These are part of every online store development project in Uttara.
Live payment gateway setup with bKash Tokenized and Nagad. I test it end-to-end with real 10 BDT payments before launch. So there are no demo-mode surprises after you switch on ads.
The cash-on-delivery flow has a proper Uttara sector dropdown, plus area and landmark fields. Orders auto-route to Pathao, Steadfast or RedX by zone. So your team isn't copy-pasting addresses all day.
Pages are usually under 500 KB on first load. I test them on cheap Android phones over slow 4G, like your Uttara buyers use. Your buyer won't leave because the homepage took 9 seconds to draw.
You message me directly on WhatsApp. There's no PM, no ticket queue and no junior googling your question. Five years of fixing live stores under deadline means most issues get sorted the same day.
You get a Bengali-friendly admin walkthrough and product upload templates. You also get a written PDF that shows how to add stock, change prices and refund orders without calling a developer.
I use clean WooCommerce or Shopify foundations with proper category structure and SEO basics built in. So when you grow from 30 SKUs to 300, you won't rebuild from scratch.
Uttara is not generic Dhaka. Your buyers are a mix of groups. There are upper-middle-class families in Sectors 3, 4 and 7, and students near IUB and Uttara University. There are expat families along Garib-E-Newaz Avenue. And there's a big F-commerce reseller crowd who scroll Facebook on the bus from Azampur to Mohakhali. Each group shops in its own way.
Families pay on COD and double-check by calling your number. If the phone goes to voicemail, they leave. Students prefer bKash, because that is how their parents send them money. Resellers want WhatsApp catalogue links they can forward to their own customers. A generic Shopify theme bought off ThemeForest can't route all four buyers properly. A store built around them can.
The other reality of selling in Uttara is delivery costs. Pathao and Steadfast both charge different rates inside and outside Dhaka. Uttara sits in an awkward zone. Some couriers treat it as 'Inside Dhaka' and others as 'Sub-urban'.
I build that rate table right into your checkout. A customer in Sector 14 sees the correct delivery charge automatically. Your team stops refunding 30 taka mistakes every week. Small details like this, not flashy animations, turn a 1.2% conversion rate into a 3% one.

Real questions Uttara shop owners send me on WhatsApp, with straight answers.
A starter store with bKash, Nagad and COD starts at 50,000 BDT. A fuller store costs 90,000 BDT. It adds proper category structure, courier API links and discount logic. A growth-ready store is 1,50,000 BDT. It adds abandoned cart recovery, customer accounts and analytics. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% advance to start and 50% on launch.
I work with clients across Dhaka and Bangladesh. But I know the Uttara market well, because most of my Dhaka clients sell from here. They run from Sector 1 down to Diabari and around Azampur. Wherever you are, we hold the kickoff, design reviews and sign-off on Google Meet or WhatsApp. That keeps the project moving fast, with every decision on record.
Here's my honest answer. Pick WooCommerce for most local Uttara businesses with under 500 SKUs and Bangladeshi payment needs. You own everything, and the monthly cost is just hosting. Pick Shopify if you sell abroad or want zero technical headache and don't mind a monthly fee in USD. Go custom only if your business truly doesn't fit either, which is rare. I'll recommend the boring right answer, not the one that earns me more money.
A 50,000 BDT starter store takes about 2 to 3 weeks once your products and content are ready. The 90,000 BDT tier usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. A 1,50,000 BDT growth store takes 5 to 7 weeks. The slowest part is often waiting for your product photos and text, not the code. So the more ready you are when we start, the faster you launch.
You don't pay the second half, and you don't go live with something you don't like. The 50% advance buys you the design phase. We refine the home, product and checkout designs in Figma until you approve them in writing. Only then do I start building. If you still don't like the direction after several rounds, we part on good terms, and you keep the work from the advance.
Yes, that is the whole point. I hand over a Bengali-friendly admin walkthrough and a Loom video. It shows how to add a product, edit a price, mark items out of stock, refund an order and download a CSV of all orders. Most Uttara clients manage their own catalogue within a week. If you want me to handle uploads, I offer that as a separate monthly retainer. It's optional, not required.
