A web app is not a brochure with a login screen. It is a workflow that has to survive real users, slow networks and a finance team asking why it broke at 11pm. Most BD shops treat it like a bigger website. I do not.
I am RH Fardin, a senior web application developer working out of Bangladesh, and I build the tools companies actually run on. Dashboards, internal portals, booking systems, inventory trackers, multi-role CRMs, customer self-service tools. One operator, around five years in the trenches, no junior handover. Pricing for app-level work starts at 50,000 BDT for tightly scoped tools, with most real applications landing in the 1,50,000 BDT tier and full custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT.
5+ years building real apps, not just landing pages. 50% advance, 50% on launch. You only approve the design once it actually looks right.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Most BD clients searching for a web application development expert have been burned at least once. The story is almost always the same: a cheap team quoted 40,000 BDT, delivered something that demoed beautifully on the project manager's laptop, and then fell apart the moment three users logged in at the same time or the boss tried to export a report. By the time you are reading this page, you already know a real application is not a WordPress theme with a contact form bolted on.
I am RH Fardin and I have spent the last five years building exactly this kind of software for Bangladeshi businesses, agencies and a handful of overseas founders who hired me directly. I do the discovery call, I write the data model, I design every screen, I write the backend, I push the code, I configure the server, I sit on the launch call. There is no agency middle layer, no fresh junior practising on your project, no account manager translating your bug report into something the actual coder will misread.
What that means for you is uncomfortable for most agencies but honest: you get one phone number, one inbox, one person who can answer 'why did the invoice total round wrong last Tuesday' without scheduling a meeting. It also means I am picky. I take on a small number of application projects each quarter because every one of them needs real architecture thinking, not a template swap.
If your idea is a thin form-plus-database, I will tell you that and quote it in the 50,000 to 90,000 BDT range. If it is a multi-tenant SaaS or an internal operations tool with role-based access, attendance, reporting and SMS hooks, that is custom territory and starts from 3,00,000 BDT.
The other thing you get is plain talk about cost. When a vendor quotes a web app in BDT, every shortcut shows up somewhere later, usually as your data. I would rather quote you honestly today, take 50% advance and 50% on launch, and ship something that still works two years from now than win the deal on price and disappear when the bug list starts.
Six things that separate real application work from website work, and what you actually get when you work with me on a custom app in Bangladesh.
Before any UI screen, I write down your entities, relationships and edge cases. That one document prevents 80% of the 'can we just add one more field' rework most BD apps die under.
Admin, manager, accounts, sales rep, customer — each sees a different app. I build proper permission layers, not 'hide the button with CSS'. Your accounts team should never see the salary sheet by accident.
I assume the user is on 4G in a microbus or office wifi that drops twice an hour. Every form saves drafts, every action is recoverable, no full-page reload eats their last 10 minutes of work.
When the app needs to take payment, I integrate the actual local rails properly, with webhook handling, refund logic and a transaction log your accountant can audit. Not just a redirect that you hope works.
Your bug report does not pass through three people before it reaches the keyboard. I wrote the code, I know exactly which file to open, and most production fixes go out the same day you raise them.
I quote in BDT, in writing, with what is in scope and what is not. 50% advance, 50% on launch. No 'and then 30,000 more for SSL' surprise invoices halfway through the build.
In BD, the title 'web application developer' gets used very loosely. Half the time the person on the other side of the koto taka conversation has only built static WordPress sites and is hoping to learn your app on your money. The real test is not their portfolio screenshots, it is what happens when you ask three uncomfortable questions.
First: 'walk me through how you would model my data.' A real expert will sketch tables, relationships and a few edge cases on the spot, in BDT-priced honesty rather than vague reassurance. Second: 'what happens if the internet drops mid-form?' If the answer is a blank stare, the answer in production will be lost orders. Third: 'who actually writes the code?' If it is not the person you are speaking to, you are not hiring an expert, you are hiring a sales channel.
When you work with me, those three answers are concrete. I will draw the data model on the call with you, in plain language, on shared screen. I will tell you exactly which forms autosave, which actions are idempotent, and where the failure recovery lives. And I will be the one writing the code, fixing the bug at midnight if launch week needs it, and sitting on the handover call with your internal team. That is the difference between hiring a vendor and hiring an expert.
The pricing reflects that — apps that need this level of thinking sit in the 1,50,000 BDT tier and above, with truly custom multi-module systems starting from 3,00,000 BDT — but you are paying for code that will still be running, and still making sense, in 2028.

Direct answers to what BD founders and operations heads actually ask before hiring a web app expert.
A small focused web app — single role, one or two main screens, a database, basic reporting — starts at 50,000 BDT. Most real business apps with multiple user roles, payments and proper admin land in the 1,50,000 BDT tier. Genuinely custom builds (SaaS, multi-tenant systems, complex workflows) start from 3,00,000 BDT. I take 50% advance and 50% on launch.
A website mostly shows information. A web application lets users do something — log in, add data, see their own dashboard, get a report, take an action. If your team is currently running the business on Excel sheets shared over WhatsApp, or you need customers to log in and see their orders, you need an application, not a website.
Yes, and it is the first thing I design, not the last. Around 80% of BD users open everything on phone first, often on 4G. I build the mobile experience before the desktop one, test on real mid-range Android, and make sure forms, tables and dashboards stay usable on a small screen instead of needing a desktop to actually do the work.
Yes. I have worked with all three. For most BD apps that need payments, SSLCommerz is the cleanest single integration because it covers cards plus mobile financial services. If your customer base is mobile-first and you want bKash or Nagad direct, I can integrate those individually too. Either way, you get a proper transaction log and webhook handling, not just a redirect.
I write every line. There is no agency, no junior team, no offshore handoff. When you message me about a bug, the person reading it is the person who can fix it. That is the reason I cap how many app projects I take per quarter — you cannot do this work properly at scale, so I choose not to.
Two options. Small post-launch tweaks (a label change, a small report, a minor fix) inside the first 14 days after launch are on me. Anything beyond that we handle either on a small monthly retainer for ongoing work, or quoted per change so you stay in control of cost. I will never silently roll a change into a future invoice — every paid task is agreed in BDT, in writing, before I start.
