What actually drives the price of a website in Bangladesh
The first question almost everyone asks is 'website koto taka?' — and the honest answer is that price depends on what the site has to do, not how many pages it has. My pricing starts at a floor of 50,000 BDT and runs in three tiers: 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, with fully custom builds starting from 3,00,000 BDT. A clean business or portfolio site with a handful of pages, a contact form and solid mobile design sits at the lower tiers.
The price climbs when the work behind the screen grows: an online store with product management, bKash and Nagad checkout, and order handling; custom features built from scratch; bookings, logins, dashboards or anything that needs real backend logic. So a five-page site and a five-page store are not the same price, even though the page count is identical — the store is doing ten times the work.
A few other things move the number, and it's worth knowing them before you compare quotes. Who supplies the content matters: if you hand me finished text and photos, that's faster and cheaper than me writing copy and sourcing images for you. Custom design versus a polished template affects it too — bespoke layouts take more hours than refining a proven structure. And integrations add up: every payment gateway, CRM, WhatsApp button or third-party tool is real work to wire in correctly.
Payment is structured as 50% advance and 50% on launch across every tier, so you're never paying the full amount for an unfinished site. When someone quotes you 15,000 BDT for an 'ecommerce website', that price is telling you something — usually that it's a thin template with no proper local payments, no support, and someone who'll vanish after the advance clears. The right question isn't only what it costs, but what it costs you when it doesn't work.
