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 about the web design price in Sylhet 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 hears your shop or restaurant is doing well and floats two lakh. Everyone says "website," but 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 checks. The agency one is often that same template with a tower-office margin stacked on top. The honest price sits in none of those traps. This page tells you exactly where it sits and why. Next time you ask koto taka, you will know the real number before anyone tries to read your wallet.
Who pays, and who looks, also shapes the number in this city. A lot of Sylhet business runs on money from abroad. Remittance built the shop. A brother in the UK funds the new restaurant. A migration or travel agency has customers checking from London before they pay a fee.
So a Sylhet site usually has two jobs at once. It must convince a local buyer scrolling on patchy mobile data in Bandar Bazar traffic. It must also not embarrass the family member abroad, who sees it next to British websites every day. That takes more design thinking than one throwaway page. It is part of why the floor is where it is.
This is not about charging Sylhet more. The tiers are the same everywhere I work. It is about being honest. 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 designs your homepage and writes the code. No salesman lowballs to win you while a junior you never meet quietly does the build. No agency overhead is baked into your figure either: account managers, a Gulshan office and a margin on every hour. That is why my price undercuts a Dhaka agency for the same quality of work.
You pay one senior operator with about five years of shipping Bangladeshi sites, not a building full of people who each take a cut. One person owns it from 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 gets a clean, fast, well-built site for a small business or professional. 90,000 BDT is the standard multi-page build most growing Sylhet businesses choose. 1,50,000 BDT gets a larger bilingual site with deeper structure and groundwork to rank. Truly custom briefs start from 3,00,000 BDT. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank. You sign off the full design before I write code. No "final" invoice lands bigger than the quote.
