What actually drives WordPress development cost in Dhaka
People ask me, "WordPress website development cost koto taka?" The honest answer is that it depends on five things, and nothing else. First is page count. A 5-page business site at 50,000 BDT is very different from a 15-page corporate site with team bios, case studies and a blog at 90,000 BDT. Second is the theme plan. A customised premium theme like Astra, Kadence or GeneratePress costs less than a custom theme coded from a Figma file. That starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Third is plugin complexity. A contact form and Google Maps are free. A multi-vendor marketplace with bKash and Nagad is real engineering work. Fourth is content. If I write or rewrite your copy in clear English or basic Bangla, that takes extra time. Fifth is integrations. Connecting Pathao courier, SteadFast, SSLCommerz, Mailchimp or a CRM each adds setup hours.
Here is the tier breakdown I actually quote in Dhaka. 50,000 BDT gets you a 5-page WordPress site on a customised premium theme. It has a contact form, a WhatsApp button, Google Maps and basic on-page SEO. 90,000 BDT gets you up to 10 pages with a blog and advanced forms. It adds custom post types for services, portfolio and team, plus Google Search Console and Analytics setup.
1,50,000 BDT gets you a 15-page site with a heavily customised theme and advanced ACF blocks. It can include WooCommerce basics or membership features, with full speed tuning. Custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT cover bespoke themes, complex WooCommerce, LMS, bilingual English and Bangla, or heavy plugin work. Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. The only "hidden" cost is yearly hosting and domain renewal, which is your own bill, not mine.
