WordPress website development cost in Chittagong, put on paper before you commit — not worked out after a meeting has quietly read your budget.
WordPress itself is free to download, so the obvious Chattogram question is: then why 50,000 taka? Because almost none of the cost is the software. It's the paid theme and plugin licences, the build, the testing on real port-city 4G, and one senior person you can still reach a year later. Here are my exact WordPress development tiers for Chittagong, from 50,000 BDT, what sits in each, and the few things that genuinely move the number.
Fixed tiers from 50,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. One senior operator, ~5 years building WordPress sites in BD.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

The first thing a Chattogram business owner reads online is that WordPress is free and open-source. So when a number like 50,000 BDT lands, it feels like a markup on something that costs nothing. Here is what that free download leaves out. A WordPress site that holds up is built on a paid premium theme and a handful of paid, licensed plugins — a real page builder, a proper forms tool, a caching and security layer, often a multilingual plugin for Bangla and English. Those licences are real annual costs.
Then someone has to design the thing, build it, connect it to your domain and a host that can actually run WordPress, and test it on the 4G your customers near Agrabad and GEC are really using. The CMS is free. Everything that makes it a working business website is not.
This is exactly where the koto-taka guessing game starts in this city. Someone quotes 12,000 taka, and what they hand over is a nulled — pirated — premium theme and pirated plugins, which is why the price can sit that low: nobody paid for any licence. The site looks fine on launch day. Then a licence-locked plugin won't update, a security hole in the cracked code gets found, and there's no support channel because you were never a real licensed user.
So the honest part most of this trade dodges is simple: the WordPress website development cost in Chittagong is mostly licences plus senior hours, and a price that ignores both isn't cheaper — it's a different, worse product wearing the same word, "WordPress."
When you hire me, the cost you see is my own hands on your project from the first message to launch — no account manager who wins the job and disappears, no junior quietly doing the real work, no offshore team picking it up after your advance clears. I choose the theme, buy the licences in your name where it matters, design it, build it in WordPress, document which plugin does what, and hand you every login on launch day.
I'm also the WhatsApp number you message when a price needs changing before a buyer meeting. One senior operator, around five years deep in WordPress for Bangladeshi businesses, one thread for the whole build — which is a large part of why the price holds and doesn't quietly grow.
Five years of building WordPress for firms here has also taught me where money is wasted and where it earns back. A clean, editable product or services section you can update yourself without calling a developer, a contact form that lands in a real inbox instead of a dead info@ address, a lean plugin stack that doesn't break on the next update — those get used every week and save you fees for years.
A bloated theme demo loaded with twenty plugins you'll never touch, a slider nobody updates, a "premium" builder so heavy the site crawls on a phone — those quietly add cost and load time and return nothing. My WordPress pricing only carries what your buyers and your own staff will actually use, which is the whole reason a senior-built, fully licensed site can still start at 50,000 BDT.
Six things baked into every tier below — not add-ons revealed halfway through, and not demo features padded in to justify a bigger number. This is the floor a serious Chattogram business should expect from a real, licensed WordPress build for the price.
Every theme and plugin is paid for and legitimate — registered where it counts in your name. No pirated code that can't update, can't be supported, and quietly opens a security hole months after launch.
You see the full WordPress cost on the proposal before you pay anything. No "final scope chat" two weeks in that adds 30,000 BDT. The figure you approve is the figure on the invoice.
Change a price, swap a product photo, add a page — straight from the WordPress dashboard, in Bangla or English. The cost includes me training you on your exact site, so you're not paying for one-line changes forever.
Only the plugins the site genuinely needs, all licensed. Fewer moving parts means fewer of the white-screen "a plugin update broke it" calls that haunt cheap Chittagong WordPress builds priced this low.
Built to load in under three seconds on a mid-range Android in GEC traffic — not just a clean score on office fibre. A WordPress site dragged down by a heavy theme demo quietly reads as a small operation.
Domain, hosting, WordPress admin, and the licences — all handed over on launch day. No agency holding the keys hostage, no recurring rent just to keep your own site online and editable.
When a Chattogram owner asks "WordPress website development cost koto taka?", the real answer is that a few specific things decide where you land between the 50,000 BDT floor and 1,50,000 BDT — and almost none of them are the upsells agencies hint at. The biggest is what the site has to do. A clean, editable WordPress company or catalogue site — your pages, your products or services, a contact line that reaches a decision-maker, set up so you can update it yourself — sits at 50,000 BDT.
Add custom post types for a deep product range, filterable trade-lane or commodity listings, a careers section with CV uploads, a notices area, and proper layouts built for each, and you're at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT, because that's real build work, not a theme demo stretched to fit.
The second driver is genuinely particular to this city: how much of your trade is with people who don't read Bangla. A port-city firm working import, export, C&F, indenting or commodity supply often needs clean English for foreign suppliers and principals plus a proper Bangla version for local partners and banks — and on WordPress a real bilingual setup means a licensed multilingual plugin plus Bangla typeset with correct line height and font pairing, not Google Translate bolted on.
That's honest extra work and an extra licence that belong in the quote upfront, and it nudges you toward the 1,50,000 BDT tier. The third is what you're starting with — both your brand and your content.
If your logo, colours and copy are ready, my hours go straight into the build and you stay near the floor; if I have to redraw a logo from a 2014 Word file, choose a colour system, or write your About copy because the old site is stock photos of foreigners in suits, that's real work I price openly at the start rather than discovering mid-project.
Note that an online store with bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery checkout is WooCommerce territory — related work I scope separately, since payment integration and order flows aren't a brochure-site line item. Beyond all of this sits the fully custom build from 3,00,000 BDT, for firms that want something designed from a blank canvas rather than on WordPress at all. Whatever the tier, the terms never move: 50% advance, 50% on launch, bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you approve the full design before any build begins.

The exact WordPress cost questions Chattogram business owners put to me on the first WhatsApp message — answered plainly, with real numbers.
It starts at 50,000 BDT for a clean, editable WordPress site — your pages, your products or services, and a contact line that reaches a real person, built so you can update it yourself. 90,000 BDT adds custom post types, deeper product or service sections, and a careers or notices area. 1,50,000 BDT covers a full bilingual WordPress site with buyer-facing sections and a licensed multilingual setup. Fully custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Every quote is fixed before you pay, with 50% advance and 50% on launch via bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
Because the free part is only the CMS. The cost is everything that turns it into a working business site: paid premium theme and plugin licences, the design, the build, connecting it to a host that can actually run WordPress, testing on the real 4G your Chittagong customers use, and training you to edit it. The 50,000 BDT floor is roughly 60 to 80 hours of one senior person plus real licences — not a markup on a free download. A quote that ignores the licences is usually a nulled, pirated build that costs you more once it breaks.
Because they're not the same product. A 12,000-taka WordPress job is almost always a nulled — pirated — premium theme with pirated plugins, no documentation, and nobody around when it breaks, which it does months later when a licence-locked plugin won't update. The 50,000 BDT floor is a senior buying real licences, building a lean documented site you own, and being one person you can actually reach afterward. To a foreign supplier vetting you, the cheap site reads as a small, risky firm — it quietly costs you the deals it loses.
The licences needed to build and launch your site are included in the tier price and registered in your name where it matters — you are never handed nulled code. What I flag honestly upfront is that some premium plugins renew yearly (often a few thousand taka total) to keep getting updates after the first year. I list exactly which ones in the proposal so there's no surprise, and most sites need only a small handful. You own all of it on launch day — no agency holding your licences hostage.
Domain and hosting are billed separately and honestly — roughly 1,500 BDT a year for a .com or .com.bd, and managed WordPress hosting from about 8,000 BDT a year, because WordPress needs a host that can actually run it well. On VAT: if your firm needs a Mushak challan for accounts, 18% is added on top of the quoted figure and the challan is provided; if you're a smaller firm or sole proprietor who doesn't need a formal Mushak, the tier prices stand as published. I clarify all of this in the proposal before you commit — no surprises after the advance.
Yes to bKash and Nagad, and bank transfer works too — for the 50,000 BDT tier mobile money is fine and I issue a money receipt; for 90,000 BDT and above most Chattogram clients prefer a bank transfer or cheque against an invoice for cleaner accounts. Most of the project runs remotely over WhatsApp, calls and shared previews, which keeps things moving without crossing Chittagong traffic. If a face-to-face meeting genuinely helps on a larger build, we arrange it — but you don't have to come to an office to get a serious WordPress site built. It's always 50% to start and 50% on launch, never full payment upfront.
