Web Development Price in Chittagong
Why two developers quote 12,000 and 90,000 for "the same website"
Last year an Agrabad trading firm asked me about the web development price in Chittagong. One developer wanted 12,000 taka. I wanted closer to 90,000 for what looked, on paper, like the same five-page site. Fair question. The honest answer is that we were not quoting the same thing. We were quoting the same screenshots.
One price buys a free theme with your logo dropped in and the demo content half deleted. The other buys a site built around your real business. It is coded to load fast on a phone over patchy GEC-area data, and it is set up so Google can read it. In this market, "web development" is two words hiding a lot.
Prices swing so wildly because nobody is selling the same product. Think of a teenager in a Facebook group, a small GEC office with three juniors, a Dhaka agency, and one senior developer who does the whole job. Those are four different deals under one job title.
The cheap end wins on the first invoice and loses on everything after it. It loses on the rebuild eighteen months later. It loses when a plugin breaks checkout during a festival rush, and on the SEO that was never there. You are not really choosing a price. You are choosing how many times you want to pay for this website.
Here is roughly where the money goes in a real build, because you deserve to see it. One part pays for the design itself: the layout and how it reads on a small screen. That is the part that makes a port-city importer trust you in four seconds. Another part pays for the development: clean code, fast loading and forms that reach your inbox. It also wires in payments and WhatsApp properly, with no pile of plugins fighting each other.
Another part pays for the SEO groundwork, so the site is findable and not just pretty. The last part pays for one simple fact. One experienced person is responsible for all of it, from start to finish. You do not get a chain of people pointing at each other.
I work as a single senior operator on purpose. When you message me about your site, you reach the person who designed it and wrote the code. You do not reach a sales rep who passes you to a junior once the advance clears. That is why my floor sits at 50,000 BDT and not 10,000. It is not a markup. It is what the work costs when it is done once, properly, by someone whose name is on it.
