How pricing actually works in Dhanmondi
Why two developers in Dhanmondi quote you 35,000 and 4,00,000 BDT for the same site
The koto taka question is the first one every Dhanmondi business owner asks, and the answers you get are wildly different. Walk into a small shop near Shankar and you might be quoted 25,000 BDT for a five-page site. Ask a Gulshan-based agency for the same scope and they will quote 5,00,000 BDT. Both are technically real numbers. Neither tells you what you are actually buying.
I am RH Fardin, a solo senior web developer with about five years of work behind me, and I have spent enough time fixing cheap builds for clients between Road 27 and Mirpur Road to know exactly what 25,000 BDT buys: a nulled WordPress theme, no real strategy, no hosting that survives a Facebook ad spike, and a developer who stops replying the day after launch. The 5,00,000 BDT quote, on the other hand, usually pays for three account managers, a junior designer, and a project coordinator — not necessarily better code.
What I sell is the middle ground that most Dhanmondi businesses actually need: a senior operator who personally writes the proposal, designs the pages, builds the site, configures the hosting, and answers the phone six months later when something needs fixing. The pricing reflects that — no junior markups, no agency overhead, just the real cost of one experienced person doing focused work.
If you are budgeting a website right now, you need three numbers in your head before any vendor call: the floor (50,000 BDT for me), the realistic range for your scope (most Dhanmondi business sites land at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT), and the custom-build threshold (3,00,000 BDT and up, if you need integrations, dashboards, or anything beyond a marketing site). Everything below explains what moves you between those tiers.
