How website maintenance is actually priced in BD
Why most maintenance quotes in Bangladesh feel like a lottery
Ask about website maintenance service price in BD, and owners lead with the same question they ask about a new build. It's always "koto taka lagbe?" The honest answer depends on three things. What's on the site today? What's broken? And how often does someone actually need to touch it?
A five-page company site running stock WordPress costs very little to keep alive. A WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad, courier APIs and 800 SKUs is a different animal. Pretending otherwise is how people end up with a 2,000 BDT "maintenance" plan that quietly stops working in month three.
Most quotes in Bangladesh are vague on purpose. The agency wants the retainer locked in. Then it bills extra every time you ask for a price update, a banner change or a plugin fix. I price the other way around.
You pay a small fixed monthly fee for the boring, guaranteed work. That covers backups, updates, uptime, security patches, SSL and a short monthly report. Anything beyond that is billed at a published hourly rate. So you only pay for the change requests you actually make.
My maintenance work follows the same standards I use for new builds. Those start at 50,000 BDT and step up through 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers, with fully custom work from 3,00,000 BDT. If I built the site, I already know where the pipes go, so maintenance costs less.
If someone else built it, I do a paid audit first, usually for a flat fee. That way, neither of us is guessing what we just inherited, and the quote you get is based on what's really inside the site.
I'm one senior operator, not a ticket queue. Say checkout fails during a Friday sale and you message me on WhatsApp at 9pm. You reach me, not a junior who has to escalate. That's the real reason serious BD businesses pay for a proper maintenance plan instead of waiting for things to break.
