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 — and a stock photo of a glass tower near GEC. What they quietly skip is the part that actually breaks: the development. A brochure site that just shows five pages is easy; almost anyone with a page-builder can fake it.
The projects that go wrong in this city are the ones that have to *work* — a freight firm's tracking lookup, a C&F agent's document portal, an importer's product catalogue with live stock, a wholesaler's order form that has to reconcile against bKash and Nagad transaction IDs. That is where the half-finished custom system, the form that silently drops submissions, and the "developer" who disappeared mid-build live.
If your Chattogram site has to do a job, you are not really shopping for a designer — you are hiring for engineering, and you should vet it like one.
I am RH Fardin and this is the deliberately one-person version. About five years of building production sites and small web applications for Bangladeshi businesses, and on every project the developer you ask "koto taka" is the developer who maps the data, writes the backend, wires the integrations, runs the QA on a real mid-range Android, and presses deploy. There is no account manager turning your Bangla feedback into a half-written ticket, no junior inheriting a codebase nobody documented, and no telephone game between the meeting room and the keyboard.
When a payment callback misfires at 11pm or your host reboots a server, you message the same number you booked on, and the person who picks up already knows exactly how your site is built — because he built all of it.
Chattogram earns a different build than Dhaka, and the difference is mostly under the hood. This is a city running on import-export, freight and logistics, C&F and ship-supply, steel, cement and RMG backward-linkage, plus 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 operations that finally want a site that does real work — a corporate site that makes a foreign buyer reply, a catalogue an importer can send a supplier instead of a WhatsApp album, an order or booking flow that does not fall over when twenty people hit it at once. That takes senior judgment about data structure, speed, payment reconciliation and bilingual rendering, not a recoloured theme flipped from a marketplace.
Matching the stack to what your business actually does after launch is the whole job, and it is why I do not push one tech for every client.
Pricing is public and fixed before you pay, because a trading city respects a straight number more than "it depends." Builds start at 50,000 BDT for a clean, mobile-first brochure site, 90,000 BDT for the standard business tier, and 1,50,000 BDT for the conversion-focused tier with custom design and integrations. Fully custom development — booking systems, tracking lookups, portals, anything with real logic — starts at 3,00,000 BDT, because that work is genuinely engineering and I will not pretend it fits a brochure price.
Terms are 50% to start and 50% on launch, so my incentive is to finish rather than drag it out, and nothing moves into development until you have signed off the design. You approve exactly how it looks, then I build exactly that.
