A WooCommerce store in Uttara you actually own. Not a monthly SaaS rent you can never escape.
I offer WooCommerce website development in Uttara, built end to end by one senior developer. That covers the WordPress and WooCommerce install, the theme, the bKash and Nagad gateway, cash on delivery and the Pathao or Steadfast courier handoff. The admin login, hosting and database are all in your name. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch. You get a design-approval guarantee before any code is written.

Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Most founders who ask me about WooCommerce website development in Uttara have already done the math on Shopify and flinched. The platform fee is in dollars. Bangladeshi payment apps need a third-party bridge that takes another cut. And every premium app that makes the store usable is another monthly charge, in a currency that keeps rising against the taka.
WooCommerce flips that. You pay once to build it, then pay yearly for hosting in your own name. bKash, Nagad and SSLCommerz plug in as free or one-time WooCommerce extensions. Take a Sector 7 boutique or a Diabari electronics reseller doing 40 to 200 orders a month. For them, that gap is real money kept, not spent.
WooCommerce done well is not just "install WordPress and pick a theme." That is all the 18,000 BDT Facebook offers deliver. The real work is in the parts buyers never see. The checkout should not reload three times on a Robi connection. COD should link to a confirmation-call workflow, so you stop eating fake orders.
Courier setup should export a clean Pathao CSV, so you are not copying addresses by hand at midnight. And order references should match, so a bKash screenshot in your inbox lines up with an order in the dashboard on its own. That plumbing is the whole job. The theme is the easy 20%.
I work alone, and that is a feature, not a limit. Maybe you call to ask "koto taka", or your checkout breaks during an Eid campaign. Either way, you reach the person whose hands are on the WooCommerce code and the Figma file. Not an account manager in a Sector 4 office passing your ticket to a junior who learned WordPress last month.
I have spent about five years building and rescuing stores across Dhaka. That includes a steady run of Uttara clients from Sector 3 through Sector 14. It has taught me exactly where WooCommerce stores leak orders. The leaks are the COD step, the bKash confirmation gap, and product pages too slow for a phone on mobile data.
I will also tell you when WooCommerce is the wrong tool. Say you have ten products and sell mostly through Facebook DMs and bKash. Then you do not need a 50,000 BDT store yet. Keep a Facebook shop and a Google Sheet, and call me when order volume starts to hurt.
WooCommerce earns its keep when you have a real catalogue, repeat customers and ad spend you want to send somewhere that sells. The 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT ladder lets you start at the tier that matches your volume. You move to a custom build, from 3,00,000 BDT, only when revenue justifies it.
I wire six things into every Uttara WooCommerce store by default. They decide if the store makes money or just sits there looking nice.
The WordPress and WooCommerce admin, hosting login and domain are all registered in your name. No SaaS subscription, no platform that can suspend your store and no developer holding the login hostage.
I set up proper WooCommerce payments through SSLCommerz or aamarPay. bKash, Nagad and card payments confirm into the order on their own. No more matching screenshots in WhatsApp at 11pm.
Cash on delivery links to a confirmation-call workflow and delivery charges for each thana. Uttara, Mirpur and outside-Dhaka rates are set from day one. So you stop losing margin on returns.
Export a Pathao, Steadfast or RedX CSV in one click from the WooCommerce orders screen. Stop retyping Sector 11 addresses by hand into the courier panel every evening.
I use WebP images, a lean theme under 200KB of CSS and JS, and no plugin bloat. I test on a mid-range Android over 4G, because that is how almost every Uttara buyer actually shops.
Because it is WooCommerce, you can add filters, wishlists, abandoned-cart recovery, Facebook catalogue sync or a loyalty program later. You won't pay monthly app rent for each one.
Here is the honest comparison Uttara founders ask me for. A Shopify store starts around 3,500 to 4,500 BDT a month before you add a single paid app. Bangladeshi payments still run through a third-party bridge that charges per transaction. Add the two or three apps every real store needs: proper bKash handling, a COD confirmation tool and a courier exporter. Now you are easily past 8,000 to 12,000 BDT a month, in dollars, forever. It rises every time the taka slips.
Over three years, that is well over 3,00,000 BDT in rent for software you never own. A WooCommerce build with me is 50,000 BDT once. Hosting costs about 7,000 to 10,000 BDT a year, paid to a provider in your name. The payment extensions are free or one-time. After year one, your running cost is basically just hosting.
Shopify is truly better at a few things. It is faster to set up with no developer, and its checkout is rock-solid out of the box. So if you are a non-technical founder who wants to launch this week and doesn't mind the rent, use it. But WooCommerce wins for most Uttara SMBs, like a clothing label in Sector 13, a cosmetics reseller off Rabindra Sarani or a home-goods brand near Jasimuddin. You control costs, own the customer data, and nothing breaks if you stop paying a SaaS bill.
The 50,000 BDT tier covers a single WooCommerce store, up to 30 products loaded by me, bKash, Nagad and COD checkout and a basic courier handoff. The 90,000 BDT tier adds up to 150 products, filters, abandoned-cart email and coupons. The 1,50,000 BDT tier adds a custom theme and live Pathao API rates. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch. You approve the homepage and product-page mockups before I write any code. That is the design-approval guarantee.

These are the real questions Uttara founders ask me before they pay the 50% advance.
From 50,000 BDT you get one WooCommerce store with bKash, Nagad and COD checkout, and up to 30 products loaded by me. The 90,000 BDT tier adds up to 150 products, filters, abandoned-cart recovery and coupons. A full store with a custom theme and live Pathao API rates is 1,50,000 BDT. Multi-vendor, ERP sync or custom checkout logic starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Hosting and domain go to a provider in your name, about 7,000 to 10,000 BDT for year one. It is 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Cost and control. Shopify charges a monthly fee in dollars plus fees for each app. Bangladeshi payments need a third-party bridge with its own cut. Over three years, that is 3,00,000 BDT or more for software you never own. WooCommerce is a one-time 50,000 BDT build plus yearly hosting in your name. bKash and Nagad extensions are free or one-time. You own the store and its data. Shopify is easier to run alone, which may suit a quick solo launch. For most Uttara SMBs, WooCommerce keeps more money.
Yes, in two ways. The simple way, at the 50,000 BDT tier, is a personal-merchant flow. The customer pays your bKash number with the order ID, and the order matches when you confirm in the admin. That helps while a bKash Merchant account is pending, since approval needs a trade license and bank details and can take weeks. Once approved, I add a proper gateway through SSLCommerz or aamarPay. Then bKash, Nagad and cards confirm into the order with no manual matching. It is a 10,000 BDT add-on.
Three to four weeks from when the advance clears and you send products, logo and photos. Week 1 is design mockups and your sign-off. Week 2 is the WooCommerce install and theme. Week 3 is bKash, Nagad and COD wiring, courier setup and product loading. Week 4 is testing on real phones, your training session and launch. We kick off on Google Meet or WhatsApp to keep the brief moving. Most delays come from late brand assets or slow feedback, not the build.
Yes. That is the benchmark I actually test against, not desktop speed. Product images convert to WebP on their own, and the theme ships under 200KB of CSS and JS. I also strip the plugin bloat that makes most WooCommerce stores crawl. Before handover, I test on a real mid-range Android over Robi or Banglalink 4G. That is how almost every Uttara buyer shops: on a phone, often at night. If a product page takes over three seconds to load on that setup, it is not done.
You are not locked in. That is the point of WooCommerce. You get full admin access and a screen recording that shows how to add a product, change a price, run a coupon and refund a customer. Any good developer can extend WordPress and WooCommerce later, including you. I offer an optional retainer, from about 8,000 BDT a month, for updates, security and backups. It is never required. Many Uttara founders use it for a few months, then handle small edits themselves. You own the store either way.
