WordPress website development cost bd: the full breakdown, not a one-line WhatsApp number.
I'm RH Fardin, and I build the whole WordPress site myself: theme, plugins, speed, all of it. "WordPress" hides a huge cost range behind one word. So this page shows you exactly what sits inside the number. You will see build fee versus running cost, and page builder versus custom theme. It all starts at ৳50,000.
From ৳50,000. Tiers at ৳50,000, ৳90,000 and ৳1,50,000, with fully custom work from ৳3,00,000. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design-approval guarantee. One senior developer with about 5 years on WordPress.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

People hear "WordPress is free" and think the website should be nearly free too. The software is free. What you pay for is the work, and that is what drives the WordPress website development cost in BD. Someone has to choose the right theme, build the layout and set up the plugins. The site must load fast on a cheap Android over 4G. And you need something you can edit without breaking it.
That gap between "WordPress is free" and "a built WordPress site costs real money" explains a lot. It is exactly why the quotes you get in BD are all over the place.
The ৳8,000 WordPress quote is real, but you should know what it is. It is a free theme installed in an afternoon, with the demo content swapped for yours. Often the person stops replying after the advance. The ৳2 lakh quote can be a truly custom-built site. Or it can be the same free theme with an agency markup on top. The word "WordPress" alone tells you almost nothing about cost. That is why I break the number down instead of just naming it.
I'm RH Fardin. For about five years I've built WordPress sites for businesses across Bangladesh, every part by hand. There is no account manager taking a cut. There is no junior learning on your project while you pay for senior work. So the WordPress website development cost I quote is the cost of me designing, building, speeding up and shipping your site.
That is why I can publish my starting price in the open: ৳50,000. On the first call, I will tell you straight if your project fits there or needs a higher tier.
The tiers are simple. ৳50,000 buys a clean, fast, mobile-first WordPress business site. You get a handful of well-built pages, contact forms, WhatsApp click-to-chat and proper on-page SEO. ৳90,000 adds more pages, custom sections, a blog or service structure and tighter design. ৳1,50,000 is for a serious site with deeper custom layouts, integrations and content structure.
If your needs outgrow template-based WordPress entirely, fully custom work starts from ৳3,00,000. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. There is also a design-approval guarantee. You sign off on the look before you pay the balance.
Six things decide where your WordPress cost lands. Once you can see them, you can tell a fair quote from a padded one. You can also tell a real build from a ৳8,000 template.
A free theme, a one-time premium theme and a fully custom theme are three very different prices. The build approach is the first big fork in any WordPress quote. I will tell you which one your project actually needs.
Five pages and twenty-five pages are not the same job. Each unique layout takes design time plus build time. So the number of different pages is the single biggest lever on your WordPress cost.
Contact forms and WhatsApp come built in. Bookings, member logins, Bangla and English switching, or bKash and Nagad checkout through WooCommerce add plugins. Each one must be set up, licensed and tested. That is real work, and it moves the number.
A WordPress site that loads in two seconds on a mid-range phone is built that way on purpose. It takes compressed images, a lean plugin set and clean settings. Speed work is inside my tiers. I never sell it back to you as an upsell.
If your text, photos and logo are ready, the build moves fast and stays cheaper. If I have to organise your content or chase you for files, that takes real time. An honest quote shows it.
A lean plugin set and a sensible setup cost a little more to do right. But the site does not break on every WordPress update. So you are not paying someone to patch it every few months.
Most of the gap between a ৳50,000 WordPress site and a ৳1,50,000 one comes down to one choice. How does the design get built? The cheaper path is a premium theme with a page builder like Elementor. It is fast to set up and fully editable by you afterward. It suits a business that needs to look credible and load properly without a one-off design.
The pricier path is a custom-coded theme. Here the layout is built to your exact design, not fitted into a template. It costs more because it takes more design and development hours. But it is lighter, faster and not tied to a page builder you must keep paying for. Neither is "better" in general. The right one depends on what you are building. I will tell you honestly which gives you the most for your budget, not the one that pays me more.
Here is the WordPress trap nobody quotes you for. The cheapest builds cost the most to keep alive. A ৳8,000 site is usually a free theme stuffed with eight or ten random plugins. Half of them are abandoned. They clash the moment WordPress pushes an update. So the site breaks, and you pay someone every couple of months to fix it.
I build the opposite way. My one-time WordPress development cost includes a lean, careful plugin set and a setup that survives updates. I list your yearly running costs separately: hosting, domain and any premium licences. I keep them as low as honestly possible. The number you agree with me is the cost to own a working WordPress site, not to rent a repeating problem.

Straight answers to what people in Bangladesh actually ask before budgeting for a WordPress build.
It starts at ৳50,000 for a clean, fast, mobile-first WordPress business site. The next tier is ৳90,000 for a larger site with custom sections. Then ৳1,50,000 covers a more advanced build. Fully custom work beyond template-based WordPress starts from ৳3,00,000. We have one short call about your pages, theme approach and features. After that, you get one fixed BDT number, not a vague range.
The WordPress software is free. The work is not. You pay for theme setup, layout, plugin setup, speed work, mobile testing and SEO. I do all of it by hand so the site actually performs. ৳50,000 is my starting price because below it, nobody is doing real development. They just drop your logo into a free demo and disappear after the advance.
A premium theme with a page builder like Elementor keeps you near the ৳50,000 starting price. You can also edit it yourself. A fully custom-coded theme costs more, usually the ৳1,50,000 tier or higher. That is because it is built to your exact design, not fitted into a template. I will tell you which one your project truly needs. I will not push the expensive route by default.
No, and any honest quote says so. Hosting and a domain are small yearly costs you own directly. Some premium plugins or themes are yearly licences too. I list those running costs apart from the one-time build fee. So you know your real first-year total. I also keep the licence list as short as honestly possible.
Yes. For an online store, I set up bKash and Nagad checkout on WordPress, usually through WooCommerce. It adds plugin setup, payment gateway setup and testing. So it moves you up a tier, but I quote it clearly before you decide. Most Bangladeshi buyers expect mobile payment. For a store, it is worth the added cost.
Yes. The price follows the work, not your location. The whole project runs over WhatsApp, calls and screen-shares. So a business in Chattogram, Rajshahi or a smaller town pays the same fixed BDT price as one in Dhaka. You get the same build, the same quality and the same ৳50,000 starting price.
