About web development in Sylhet
In Sylhet your website has to do business in a timezone you're not awake for — and that's a development problem, not a design one.
Most cities buy a website to sit there and look respectable. Sylhet is different, and the difference is the whole brief. The money in this city moves through people who are not here — the son in Birmingham booking his father's umrah, the cousin in New York wiring a property deposit, the family in the Gulf comparing three travel agents at 1am their time because that is when they are finally off shift. When that person lands on your site, you are usually asleep, your office is locked, and there is no one to pick up the phone. So the site has to be the business for those hours: it has to take the enquiry, hold the booking detail, fire it to where you will see it in the morning, and not quietly drop any of it. That is not decoration. That is development — the machinery underneath — and it is exactly the half a cheap Sylhet quote leaves out, because you cannot see machinery in a screenshot.
Here is what 'works while you sleep' actually means in code, because vague promises are worthless. It means a booking or enquiry form tested from a real network so it does not silently fail at 3am — the submission lands in your inbox and on your WhatsApp, time-stamped, with every field intact, ready for you to answer at 9am. It means click-to-call and a WhatsApp button that fire correctly when the visitor's phone is a +44 or +971 number, not just a local 017. It means a bKash or Nagad block wired with the right number and a working copy button, so someone paying a deposit across a timezone completes it instead of giving up because nobody was online to help. And it means the site stays up and fast through your busy season — Hajj registration, Eid travel, the winter probashi return — instead of the hosting expiring in the middle of the one fortnight it had to hold. None of that shows in a demo, which is precisely why it gets skipped.
When you hire me, one senior person handles all of it — the discovery call, the page structure, the design, the front-end and back-end code, the form and payment wiring, and the WhatsApp reply when something needs changing the night before a deadline. There is no salesperson winning the job and a junior you never meet building it badly, no agency telephone game, no 'let me check with the team.' For development specifically that single accountable hand is the point: nothing gets lost in a handoff, because there is no handoff, and the same person who decided what the booking flow should do is the one who wrote the code that does it. I have spent around five years building for Bangladeshi businesses — traders, agents, clinics, real firms, not faceless brands — and I build mobile-first, because the probashi judging you is on a phone on a fast foreign line where every flaw shows, and the local buyer is on a mid-range Android in Bandar Bazar traffic. Both have to come away thinking you are serious.
Pricing is fixed and the same in Sylhet as it would be in Dhaka — you are simply not paying for a Gulshan office. 50,000 BDT for a focused 5-7 page site, properly developed, fast, with working forms and your bKash or Nagad wired in. 90,000 BDT for a larger build with a blog, custom work and stronger SEO. 1,50,000 BDT for a full bilingual Bangla-English site with a basic booking or shop flow. From 3,00,000 BDT for genuinely custom development — a real tour or umrah booking engine, a property listing system, a member portal, integrations with a back end built from scratch. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you approve the full design before I write a single line of code. If your honest budget is under 50,000 BDT, I will tell you on the first call and point you to a real template option rather than ship something I would not put my name on.
