Why development quotes in BD make no sense
Why two website development prices in BD can be ten times apart
You can get a 12,000৳ website development price quote in Bangladesh, and a 1,50,000৳ quote for what sounds like the same thing. Both people will swear their number is fair. The difference is almost never explained, because nobody can see development in a screenshot.
The cheap quote is usually a pre-built theme switched on with your content pasted in. The same plugin stack is often resold to fifty other clients. The higher quote pays for someone actually building. You get clean code, the right features and working integrations. You also get a site that still works when your traffic and needs grow.
I quote development differently, because I do the development myself. I am one senior developer with about five years of building and shipping sites across Bangladesh. I price the whole build before you pay a single taka. No junior inherits your project, and no agency overhead hides in the number. You will never hear 'oh, that feature is extra' after you have paid the 50% advance. The figure you approve is the figure you pay, half to start and half when the site goes live.
My floor for development is 50,000৳, and I will not undercut it to win the job. Below that, you are really buying a template with the settings changed. The moment you need something it was not built for, it breaks. That might be a custom form, bKash checkout or a real product filter. Then it costs more to patch than it would have cost to build properly.
From 50,000৳ up, you pay for code that is yours. It is built for how Bangladeshi customers really use a site. They use a phone, often on mobile data, and they expect it to load fast, whether they are in Gulshan or a district town.
This page breaks down what each development tier includes. More usefully, it shows what makes a development price go up. By the end, you should be able to read any development quote, mine or anyone else's. You will see if the number reflects real engineering. Or you will see if someone is hiding the true cost until the advance is gone.
