What actually drives WordPress development cost in Dhaka
When someone asks "WordPress website development cost koto taka?" the honest answer is: it depends on five things, and nothing else. First, 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, theme strategy — a customised premium theme (Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress) costs less than a fully custom theme coded from a Figma file, which starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
Third, plugin complexity — a contact form and Google Maps is free; a multi-vendor marketplace with bKash and Nagad integration is real engineering work. Fourth, content — if I write or rewrite your copy in clear English (or basic Bangla), that is extra time. Fifth, 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 with contact form, WhatsApp button, Google Maps and basic on-page SEO; 90,000 BDT gets you up to 10 pages with a blog, advanced forms, custom post types (services, portfolio, team) and Google Search Console + Analytics setup; 1,50,000 BDT gets you a 15-page WordPress site with a heavily customised theme, advanced ACF blocks, WooCommerce basics or membership functionality, and full speed optimisation;
custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT cover bespoke themes, complex WooCommerce, LMS, multilingual (English/Bangla) or any heavy plugin engineering. Payment is 50% advance, 50% on launch — and the only "hidden" cost you should ever budget for is yearly hosting and domain renewal, which is your own bill, not mine.
