How pricing actually works
Why one Dhaka developer quotes 8,000 BDT and another quotes 2,00,000, and which one you should worry about
The web development price in Dhaka has a strange spread. Someone on Facebook Marketplace offers a 'full website' for 8,000 taka. A Gulshan agency quotes 4,00,000 for almost the same brief. Both numbers are real. Both are risky if you don't understand what is behind them.
The 8,000 taka quote is almost always a nulled WordPress theme on shared reseller hosting. There is no SSL setup and no backups. The developer disappears after the first month. The 4,00,000 quote often pays for a project manager, a junior designer, a junior developer, a QA person and a sales commission. That is five layers of cost that have nothing to do with your website.
I work alone, by choice. I have designed and built websites since 2020. The price I quote is the price I charge. There is no account manager rate, no junior margin and no upsell once you have paid the advance.
My web development pricing in Dhaka starts at 50,000 BDT. That buys a 5-to-7-page business site with a proper CMS, mobile-first design and on-page SEO. Contact forms go to your email and WhatsApp. You also get SSL and a year of basic support. That is the floor. If anyone in Dhaka quotes less for the same scope, ask them to put it in writing. Most cannot.
Pricing also moves with what you really need. A clean 5-page corporate brochure site is one number. Now add bKash and Nagad checkout, SSLCommerz, a courier API for Pathao or Steadfast, stock sync and a customer login area. That is a very different number.
A custom dashboard with user roles, an admin panel or a booking engine sits in yet another bracket. I would rather have one frank 30-minute call about your scope. A generic price list fits no one.
Payment is simple and standard for Bangladesh: 50% advance to start and 50% on launch. Pay by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, whatever is easiest. You also get a written design-approval guarantee. If you don't approve the homepage design, we keep working on it until you do, at no extra cost. The price you sign is the price you pay.
