Website Development in Chittagong

Website development in Chittagong, done by the person who actually writes the code.

I am RH Fardin. I handle website development in Chittagong end to end — structure, design, the actual build, deployment — for importers and C&F firms near Agrabad, trading houses off GEC, clinics, shops and manufacturers feeding off the port. Every line is built by me, not handed to a junior or dropped into a page-builder you will fight with later. It starts at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, with the full design approved before any code is written.

Around 5 years building sites across Bangladesh. One senior operator, no agency layer. Direct on WhatsApp — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.

What website development actually means here

In Chittagong, "website development" gets sold two ways — and most owners only find out the difference after launch.

When a Chattogram business asks around for website development, it gets two very different things wearing the same name. One is a real build: a clean foundation, code that does what it should, pages that load fast on the 4G a buyer is actually using on the road to the port. The other is a recoloured template stuffed with a dozen plugins, sold as "development" because someone logged into a dashboard and dragged some boxes around. Both quote you a price.

Only one is still standing, fast and editable a year later. The whole point of this page is that website development in Chittagong should mean the first thing — and you should be able to tell, before you pay, which one you are buying.

There is a Chattogram-specific reason the build quality matters more here than the brochure copy admits. So much of the real money in this city is trade — import and export, shipping and forwarding, C&F, indenting, commodity supply, light manufacturing off the port. The person opening your site is often a sourcing office abroad, a principal in Singapore, a buyer in the Gulf who got your company name and wants to confirm you are real before replying. They are not on office fibre.

They are on a phone, on a connection that is fine for WhatsApp and brutal on a bloated WordPress homepage. If your site takes eight seconds to paint, you have told a foreign buyer you are a small, slow operation before a single word loads. Development — the part nobody sees — is exactly what fixes that.

So when I take on website development in Chittagong, I am the whole chain. The discovery call, the site structure, the design you sign off, the front-end code, the integrations, the deployment, and the WhatsApp message you send when something needs changing before a meeting.

I build on a clean WordPress or Next.js base depending on what your business actually needs — not whatever I happened to use last week — and I keep the plugin count low on purpose, because every extra plugin is a future auto-update waiting to break your layout three months after handover. One senior operator, one thread, around five years deep into shipping sites for Bangladeshi firms. That single point of accountability is the difference, not a slogan.

Pricing is fixed and it is the same on "Chittagong" or "Chattogram" letterhead. 50,000 BDT for a focused 5-7 page business build. 90,000 BDT for a larger site with a blog, custom sections and stronger on-page SEO. 1,50,000 BDT for a full bilingual build with deeper navigation and buyer-facing pages, or a basic shop. Genuinely custom development — real ecommerce, buyer portals, dashboards, order tracking, API integrations — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you never pay the second half for a build you have not seen live.

What's included

What you actually get from real website development in Chittagong

Six things that separate an actual build from a dressed-up template — and all six are standard from the 50,000 BDT tier, not upsells buried in a bigger quote.

01

Hand-built, not dragged

Clean WordPress or Next.js chosen for your business, with a deliberately low plugin count. Nothing here exists just because a page-builder demo needed it, so a single update will not quietly break your homepage after I hand over.

02

Fast on port-city 4G

I build and test for a mid-range Android on a real Chittagong connection, not your office fibre. Sub-three-second loads on the road between Agrabad and the port — because that is where the enquiry, and the foreign buyer's first impression, actually happens.

03

Mobile-first, then desktop

Your buyers in Chattogram open the site on a phone first. I design and code the small screen first and the desktop second, so the layout that 80 percent of your traffic sees is the one I sweated over, not an afterthought.

04

bKash / Nagad wired right

Whether it is a "Pay via bKash" line on a quote form or a proper manual-payment block for a shop, I wire it with number masking and a copy button so customers actually use it instead of giving up and calling instead.

05

Built to be edited

You get a clean admin, a short handover doc and login details in your name. Change a price, swap a photo, post a notice — without ringing me or paying anyone. A build you cannot touch is not really yours.

06

SEO in the foundation

Title tags, meta, schema, clean URLs, a sitemap submitted to Search Console — built in by an actual SEO consultant, not ticked off a plugin checklist. So when someone searches your trade plus Chittagong, the site is structured to show up.

In focus

The 8,000-taka build that lands back on my desk by Eid

A pattern I see constantly in Chattogram: an owner gets a website development quote from a Facebook group or a cousin's friend for eight or twelve thousand taka, takes it because the number is irresistible, and gets a nulled premium theme on cheap reseller hosting with twenty plugins holding it together. For a few weeks it looks fine.

Then a plugin auto-updates and the layout collapses, or the shared hosting goes down during the Eid rush exactly when traffic peaks, or the "developer" has gone quiet and nobody has the admin password. By then the site is doing real damage — a foreign buyer who Googled the company saw a broken page, the contact form has been silently dropping enquiries for a month, and there is no source code to hand to anyone else. The eight-thousand-taka site was not cheap.

It was expensive, paid in lost deals and a rebuild.

That rebuild is a large slice of the website development I do in Chittagong — taking a business off a fragile template and onto something built properly. This is where the gap between a Dhaka-agency quote and a market-stall quote actually matters, and why 50,000 BDT sits where it should. A Gulshan agency will quote one and a half to two lakh for a basic site and put a junior on it; the Facebook-group developer will quote eight thousand for a gamble that breaks.

My floor of 50,000 BDT is senior-level development built for how Chattogram buyers actually find and judge you, with no capital-city markup and no cheap-template trap — and if your budget is honestly under that, I will tell you on the first call and point you to a real template option that is upfront about being a template, rather than ship something I will be fixing for someone else by next Eid.

Frequently asked

Straight answers before we build.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners ask me on the first WhatsApp message.

Website development Chittagong er kaaj koto taka?

Website development in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT for a focused 5-7 page business site, hand-built and fast. 90,000 BDT covers a larger site with a blog, custom sections and stronger SEO. 1,50,000 BDT is a full bilingual build with deeper navigation and buyer-facing pages or a basic shop. Genuinely custom development — real ecommerce, buyer portals, dashboards, integrations — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance, 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, so you never pay the full amount before the site is live.

What is the difference between website design and website development?

Design is how the site looks and reads — the layout, the colours, the structure a buyer judges in five seconds. Development is what makes it work — the actual code, the speed, the forms that reach your inbox, the payment block, the SEO foundation, the deployment. A lot of cheap quotes in Chittagong sell you a design dropped onto a template and call it development. I do both, end to end, on a clean code base — so the site does not just look right, it loads fast on real 4G and is still editable a year later.

Do you build on WordPress or custom code?

Whichever genuinely fits your business — not whatever is fastest for me. For most Chattogram firms a clean WordPress build with a deliberately small set of plugins is the right call: you can edit it yourself, and it is cost-effective at the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers. For sites that need real performance, custom logic or integrations — portals, dashboards, order tracking — I build on Next.js, and that is the from-3,00,000-BDT custom lane. I will tell you on the first call which one your project actually needs and why.

How long does website development take in Chittagong?

The 50,000 BDT build is 10 to 14 working days from the day I have your content, logo and brand colours. The 90,000 BDT tier is around three weeks. The single biggest delay on every project I have done in Bangladesh is waiting on the client's text and photos — if your content is ready when we start, I ship fast. Tell me upfront if you have a real deadline, like a tender or a trade fair, and I will be honest about whether it fits before you pay the advance.

Do I have to be in Chittagong, or can we work remotely?

Either works. I will happily meet for an hour for kickoff if you are in Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi, Nasirabad or anywhere central — face to face is fine for the first conversation. After that almost everything runs on WhatsApp and a screen-share call, which is exactly how I keep development at 50,000 BDT instead of building travel and weekly meetings into the price. Out-of-city and overseas owners — including the diaspora-run firms in Chattogram — work entirely remotely.

After launch, am I locked into you to make changes?

No, and that is deliberate. Domain and hosting go in your name, you get the admin login and a short handover doc, and if it is a custom build you get the source code. You can change prices, swap photos and post notices yourself without ringing anyone. If you do want me on call for bigger changes that is available, but it is your choice, not a lock-in. A build you cannot walk away from was never really yours — that part is non-negotiable for me.
