Hiring for development, not just a pretty page
In a port city, the website usually has to do a job, not just look like one
Most pages about a "web development company in chattogram" sell you a logo wall: React, Laravel, Node, WordPress. Then they add a stock photo of a glass tower near GEC. What they skip is the part that really breaks, which is the development. A brochure site with five pages is easy. Almost anyone with a page builder can fake one.
The projects that go wrong in this city are the ones that have to work. Think of a freight firm's tracking lookup, a C&F agent's document portal, or an importer's catalogue with live stock. Think of a wholesaler's order form that must match bKash and Nagad transaction IDs. That is where you find the half-finished custom system, the form that quietly drops submissions, and the "developer" who vanished mid-build. If your Chattogram site has to do a job, you are hiring for engineering.
I am RH Fardin, and this is the one-person version on purpose. I have about five years of building live sites and small web apps for Bangladeshi businesses. On every project, the developer you ask "koto taka" is the one who does the work. I map the data, write the backend and connect the tools. I test on a real mid-range Android, and I press deploy.
There is no account manager turning your Bangla feedback into a half-written ticket. There is no junior taking over code nobody wrote notes for. There is no game of telephone between the meeting room and the keyboard. Say a payment callback misfires at 11pm, or your host reboots a server. You message the same number you booked on. The person who picks up already knows how your site is built, because he built all of it.
Chattogram needs a different build than Dhaka, and most of the difference is under the hood. This city runs on import and export, freight and logistics, C&F and ship supply. It runs on steel, cement and RMG backward linkage. It also runs on the family trading houses around Khatunganj and Agrabad that have moved goods for generations. The buyers I work with here are rarely first-time founders chasing a trend. They are established firms that finally want a site that does real work.
That might be a corporate site that makes a foreign buyer reply. It might be a catalogue an importer can send a supplier instead of a WhatsApp album. Or an order flow that does not fall over when twenty people hit it at once. This takes senior judgment about data, speed, payment matching and Bangla and English display, not a recoloured marketplace theme. Matching the tools to what your business does after launch is the whole job, so I do not push one tech on every client.
Pricing is public and fixed before you pay. A trading city respects a straight number more than a vague "it depends". Builds start at 50,000 BDT for a clean, mobile-first brochure site. The standard business tier is 90,000 BDT. The 1,50,000 BDT tier is built to convert, with custom design and integrations. Fully custom development starts at 3,00,000 BDT, for booking systems, tracking lookups, portals and anything with real logic. That is real engineering, and it does not fit a brochure price.
Terms are 50% to start and 50% on launch. So my reason is to finish, not to drag it out. Nothing moves into development until you have signed off the design. You approve exactly how it looks, and then I build exactly that.
