A web app is not a brochure with a login screen. It is a workflow that must 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 web application development expert for BD businesses. I build the tools companies actually run on: dashboards, internal portals, booking systems, stock trackers, CRMs with many user roles, and customer self-service tools. One operator, about five years of hands-on work, and no junior handover. Small, tightly scoped tools start at 50,000 BDT. Most real apps land in the 1,50,000 BDT tier, and full custom builds start at 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 looking 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. They delivered something that looked great in a demo on the project manager's laptop. Then it fell apart when three users logged in at once, or when the boss tried to export a report.
By the time you read this page, you already know the truth. A real application is not a WordPress theme with a contact form stuck on.
I am RH Fardin. I have spent the last five years building exactly this kind of software. My clients are Bangladeshi businesses, agencies, and a handful of overseas founders who hired me directly. I run the discovery call, write the data model, and design every screen. I write the backend, push the code, set up the server, and join the launch call.
There is no agency middle layer and no fresh junior practising on your project. There is no account manager turning your bug report into something the real coder will misread.
For you, that means something most agencies find awkward but is honest. You get one phone number, one inbox, and one person. That person can answer 'why did the invoice total round wrong last Tuesday' without booking a meeting. It also means I am picky. I take on a small number of app projects each quarter, because each one needs real architecture thinking, not a template swap.
If your idea is a simple form plus a database, I will tell you that. I will quote it in the 50,000 to 90,000 BDT range. A SaaS for many client companies is different. So is an internal operations tool with role-based access, attendance, reporting and SMS hooks. That is custom work, and it starts from 3,00,000 BDT.
You also get plain talk about cost. When a vendor quotes a web app in BDT, every shortcut shows up later, usually in your data. I would rather quote you honestly today and take 50% advance and 50% on launch. Then I ship something that still works two years from now. I will not win the deal on price and disappear when the bug list starts.
Here are six things that separate real application work from website work. They show what you actually get when you build a custom app in Bangladesh with me.
Before any screen, I write down your data, how it connects, and the edge cases. That one document prevents 80% of the 'can we just add one more field' rework that kills most BD apps.
Admin, manager, accounts, sales rep and customer each see 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 on office wifi that drops twice an hour. Every form saves drafts and every action can be recovered. No full-page reload eats their last 10 minutes of work.
When the app takes payment, I connect the real local payment systems properly. That includes webhook handling, refund logic and a transaction log your accountant can audit. Not just a redirect you hope works.
Your bug report does not pass through three people before it reaches the keyboard. I wrote the code and I know exactly which file to open. Most live 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. Often the person in the koto taka conversation has only built static WordPress sites. They hope to learn app building on your money. The real test is not their portfolio screenshots. It is what happens when you ask three hard questions.
First, ask them to walk you through how they would model your data. A real expert will sketch tables, links and a few edge cases on the spot. Second, ask what happens if the internet drops mid-form. If you get a blank stare, the result in real use will be lost orders. Third, ask who actually writes the code. If it is not the person in front of you, 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 with you on the call, in plain language, on a shared screen. I will tell you exactly which forms autosave, which actions are safe to repeat, and how the app recovers from failures. And I will be the one writing the code. I fix the bug at midnight if launch week needs it, and I join the handover call with your 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. Truly custom systems with many modules start from 3,00,000 BDT. But you are paying for code that will still be running, and still make 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 starts at 50,000 BDT. That means one user role, one or two main screens, a database, and basic reporting. Most real business apps with several user roles, payments and a proper admin land in the 1,50,000 BDT tier. Truly custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Those include SaaS, systems for many client companies, and complex workflows. I take 50% advance and 50% on launch.
A website mostly shows information. A web application lets users do something. They log in, add data, see their own dashboard, get a report, or take an action. Maybe your team runs the business on Excel sheets shared over WhatsApp. Or maybe you need customers to log in and see their orders. Then you need an application, not a website.
Yes, and it is the first thing I design, not the last. About 80% of BD users open everything on a phone first, often on 4G. I build the mobile version before the desktop one and test on real mid-range Android phones. Forms, tables and dashboards stay usable on a small screen. Nobody needs a desktop just to get the work done.
Yes. I have worked with all three. For most BD apps that take payments, SSLCommerz is the cleanest single option. It covers cards plus mobile money services. If your customers are mostly on mobile and you want bKash or Nagad direct, I can connect those one by one 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, and no offshore handoff. When you message me about a bug, the person reading it is the person who can fix it. That is why I cap how many app projects I take each quarter. You cannot do this work properly at scale, so I choose not to.
There are two options. Small tweaks in the first 14 days after launch are on me. That covers a label change, a small report, or a minor fix. Anything beyond that goes on a small monthly retainer for ongoing work. Or I quote each change, so you stay in control of cost. I will never quietly add a change to a future invoice. Every paid task is agreed in BDT, in writing, before I start.
