Pricing web design in Sylhet without the koto-taka runaround
Why a web design quote in Sylhet swings from 8,000 taka to several lakh — and which number is real
Ask three people in Sylhet what a website costs and you will get three answers that cannot all be true. A cousin who "does design" says 8,000 taka. A Facebook page that runs boosted ads quotes 18,000 and throws in "free hosting forever." A Dhaka agency, once they hear your shop or restaurant is doing well, floats two lakh. Everyone says "website," and almost nobody is quoting the same work.
The cheap figure is a nulled WordPress theme with your logo dropped on it; the boosted-ad one is a recoloured template wired to a contact form nobody monitors; the agency one is often that same template with a tower-office margin stacked on top.
The honest web design price in Sylhet sits in none of those traps, and this page is here to tell you exactly where it sits and why — so the next time you ask koto taka, you already know the real number before anyone tries to read your wallet.
What also shapes the number in this city is who actually pays and who actually looks. A lot of Sylhet business runs on money that arrives from abroad — the remittance that built the shop, the brother in the UK funding the new restaurant, the migration or travel agency whose customers are checking from London before they hand over a fee.
So a Sylhet site usually has to do two jobs at once: convince a local buyer scrolling on patchy mobile data in Bandar Bazar traffic, and not embarrass the family member abroad who sees it next to British websites every day. That is more design thinking than a single throwaway page, and it is part of why the floor is where it is.
It is not about charging Sylhet more — the tiers are the same everywhere I work — it is about being honest that a site worth your name has to clear a higher bar here than a leaflet stretched across a homepage.
When you hire me, the person quoting the price is the person who designs your homepage and writes the code. There is no salesman lowballing to win you and then a junior you never meet quietly handling the build, and there is no agency overhead — account managers, a Gulshan office, a margin on every hour — baked into your figure without you seeing it.
That is the real reason my web design price in Sylhet undercuts a Dhaka agency for the same quality of work: you are paying one senior operator with around five years of shipping Bangladeshi sites, not a building full of people who each take a cut. One person owns it start to finish, so nothing gets cut in the middle to protect somebody's margin.
And the number holds once it is set. 50,000 BDT for a clean, fast, properly built site for a small business or professional. 90,000 BDT for the standard multi-page build most growing Sylhet businesses land on. 1,50,000 BDT for a larger bilingual site with deeper structure and the groundwork to actually rank. From 3,00,000 BDT when the brief is genuinely custom and built from a blank canvas.
Always 50% advance to start and 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, whatever suits you — and you sign off the full design before I write a single line of code. No "final" invoice that lands bigger than the quote, and no surprise charge because the number was never really fixed in the first place.
