How to tell a real expert from a confident beginner in Dhaka
Before you wire any advance, ask three questions on the call. First: 'Can you show me the live URL of three sites you personally coded — not designs, not mock-ups, the live URL?' A real website development expert in Dhaka will share rhfardin.com plus working client URLs in seconds. A reseller will send PDFs, dribbble shots, or 'sorry, NDA' replies. Second: 'What does the codebase look like?
Can I see the GitHub repo or the file structure after handover?' Anyone who flinches at this question is either using a pirated theme or has no idea how the site is put together. Third: 'What happens if my site goes down at 11pm during a Facebook campaign?' The honest answer is a number — '3 hours response under maintenance, 24 hours otherwise' — not a vague 'don't worry, we are always available'.
I will tell you exactly how I work. You message me with the requirement. We do one call or a long WhatsApp thread to nail down pages, integrations and a realistic deadline. I send a one-page proposal with scope, price, timeline and payment terms — 50% advance, 50% on launch, design-approval guarantee meaning you do not pay the second half until you have personally approved the design. I build in a staging environment you can review weekly.
I integrate the analytics, the bKash links, the WhatsApp button, the schema, and I run the Lighthouse and mobile tests myself before launch. Then I hand over the code, the credentials, a short Loom video showing you how to edit content, and a written maintenance offer if you want me to keep an eye on it. That is what 'expert' should look like in 2026, in Dhaka, for a real business.
