What "company" should mean when you're hiring web design in Cox's Bazar
You don't need a big office on the beach road. You need a web design company that gives you a clear price, a written scope, and one accountable person who answers when peak season hits.
Search "web design company in Cox's Bazar" and you'll get three kinds of results, and it's worth knowing which you're talking to before you pay. There's the Facebook "web designer" who quotes 12,000 taka on Messenger and ghosts after the advance. There's the small local office that genuinely is a company - signboard, two or three desks - but pitches you with the owner and then hands your hotel site to whoever's free, because a 50,000-taka job can't pay for the senior person to do it themselves.
And there's a one-person senior operation like mine, where "company" means a fixed price, a written scope, and an invoice you can put against your business - just without the layer of juniors and account managers you didn't actually want to pay for. Most Cox's Bazar owners think they want the middle option. What they actually want is its accountability without its handoff.
Here's the part that matters for this town specifically: your website is almost never seen by someone standing in front of you. A family in Dhaka is comparing three Kolatoli resorts at 11pm. A tour buyer in Chattogram is scanning a dozen near-identical Saint Martin operators. A probashi in the Gulf is funding a relative's new venture and wants it done properly the first time. None of them will ever visit your office or see your signboard - the site is the entire company, as far as they're concerned.
So the real job of a web design company here isn't to look big; it's to make a buyer who's somewhere else, on a mid-range Android, decide in seconds that you're a real, safe operator worth booking.
I'm one senior person, around five years into shipping sites for Bangladeshi businesses, and I do every part of yours myself: the first WhatsApp reply, the page structure, the design in Figma, the front-end code, and the message you send when you need your season rates updated before a holiday. That's the whole pitch. There's no junior to assign, no account manager to relay, no template you'll spot on three other guesthouses down Marine Drive. You get the written scope and accountability of dealing with a company, and the senior hands and single point of contact of dealing with a person - which, for a 50,000-to-1,50,000-taka project, is the only honest way to give you both.
Pricing is fixed and the same whether your buyer is in Cox's Bazar town or Kuwait. 50,000 BDT for a focused, fast site - who you are, what you offer, real photos, and a contact line that reaches a real person. 90,000 BDT for a fuller multi-page build with room or package pages, a proper gallery, a menu or service section, and serious enquiry capture. 1,50,000 BDT for a content-deep, bilingual site with deeper navigation and multiple properties or services.
From 3,00,000 BDT for a fully custom build with real booking flows, heavy galleries or multi-property setups. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch via bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, with a written scope up front so "finished" means the same thing to both of us. No retainer trap, no monthly "maintenance" bill for nothing.
