Why WordPress, and why it has to be built properly
WordPress is a platform you can run yourself. Most Chattogram "WordPress" sites are wired so you can't.
There are really only two reasons to choose WordPress over a custom-coded site or a Wix/Shopify subscription, and a Chattogram business owner usually wants both. First, you own it outright — the domain, the hosting account, the admin login, the full site — instead of renting it monthly from a platform that owns your shop window. Second, you can edit it yourself: change a price, swap a product photo, add a notice for a new shipment, post about a tender you won — straight from the dashboard, without messaging a developer and waiting two days for a one-line change. That self-sufficiency is the entire point of WordPress. It is also the exact thing most cheap WordPress builds in this city quietly take away from you.
Here is how they take it away. A part-timer or a small shop quotes you fifteen or twenty thousand taka, installs a downloaded premium theme nobody has a license for, bolts on a page-builder plugin and a dozen others to make the demo look full, and hands you a site that works on launch day. But the content is locked inside the page-builder's tangle, so editing one heading risks breaking the layout. You are never given clean admin credentials, or the hosting login, or a word of documentation. WordPress was supposed to make you independent; instead you are more dependent than before, on a person who has already moved on. When that person goes quiet — and in my experience they always do — you own a site you cannot safely touch.
I build WordPress the way it is meant to be built, because the whole value of the platform is that you can run it without me. I design the site in Figma and get it approved before any code is written, then build on a clean, lean foundation: a properly structured theme, only the few plugins the site genuinely needs, content laid out so you can actually edit it without fear. Chattogram is a trading city — importers and exporters around Agrabad, indenting and C&F firms off GEC, shipping and logistics outfits working the port, garment buying houses and manufacturers feeding it — and these businesses change prices, products, principals and notices constantly. WordPress is ideal for exactly that, but only if it is built so a non-technical person in your office can keep it current. That is what I hand over: not just a site, but the ability to run it.
Pricing is fixed and reads the same whether your letterhead says Chattogram or Chittagong. 50,000 BDT for a focused WordPress business site — who you are, what you trade, and a contact line that reaches a real person. 90,000 BDT for the standard multi-page build with service or product pages, a gallery, and proper local SEO. 1,50,000 BDT for a larger bilingual site with deeper structure, a downloadable company profile, or light dynamic features. Fully custom builds, where WordPress is the wrong tool and bespoke code is the right one, start from 3,00,000 BDT. Always 50% advance via bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, 50% on launch, and you sign off the full design before a line of code exists. You walk away owning every credential — and able to use them.
