How website maintenance is actually priced in Chittagong
Why the website maintenance service price in Chittagong feels like a guessing game
Chattogram owners often ask me about the website maintenance service price in Chittagong. Their first question is the same as for a new site: "koto taka?" The honest answer depends on three things. What is running on the site right now? What tends to break? And how often does someone actually need to open it up? A five-page company profile for a trading firm off GEC costs almost nothing to keep alive.
A WooCommerce store wired to bKash, Nagad, Pathao and Steadfast, with a few hundred SKUs, is a different animal. Pretending the two cost the same is how a shop ends up on a 1,500 taka "maintenance" plan. By month three, that plan quietly does nothing.
Most maintenance quotes in Chittagong are vague on purpose. The local shop or the Dhaka agency wants the retainer locked. Then they bill you again every time you ask for a price change, a banner swap, or a fix for a plugin that broke after an update. I price it the other way. A small fixed fee covers the boring, guaranteed work. That means backups, core and plugin updates, uptime monitoring, security patches, SSL renewal and a short monthly note on what happened.
Anything beyond that has a published rate. You only pay for the change requests you actually make, and you see the number before you commit.
There is a Chattogram reason this matters more here than people admit. Much of the city's real money moves on a trade calendar. Think of pre-Eid stock runs, the import-export peaks and the festival sales. A clothing or grocery store off Agrabad or near GEC Circle can do in one week what it normally does in a month. That is exactly when a site can't afford to go down.
Picture a checkout that fails on a Friday-night sale. Or an SSL certificate that lapses mid-campaign. Or a payment gateway that breaks after bKash pushes an API change. A real maintenance plan is insurance against losing money in the one week you can least afford it.
My maintenance work meets the same standard as my builds. Builds start at 50,000 BDT and step up through 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT, with fully custom work from 3,00,000 BDT. They are always 50% advance and 50% on launch. If I built your site, I already know where every pipe runs, so the upkeep is cheaper.
If someone else built it, I do a paid audit first, for a flat fee. That way, neither of us is maintaining a black box. And you deal with one senior operator on WhatsApp. There is no ticket queue, and no junior who has to escalate while your sale bleeds out.
