WordPress pricing for a port city
Why the same "WordPress website koto taka?" gets you a 12,000 answer and a 2 lakh answer in Chittagong
An Agrabad importer messaged me last year after collecting four quotes for the same brief: a company site with a product catalogue, an enquiry form, and English clean enough for his overseas buyers. The numbers came back 14,000, 45,000, 95,000 and 2,20,000 taka. He wasn't confused because people were dishonest — he was confused because nobody told him those four prices were for four completely different things. That gap is the whole reason this page exists.
WordPress itself is free; what you're actually paying for is the design, the licensed plugins, the setup that makes the dashboard usable, and a person who'll still answer when something needs changing. Strip those out and you can hit 14,000. Keep them and you're in a different bracket.
So here's my number, plainly, because in Chittagong everyone asks it in the first message anyway. WordPress website development starts at 50,000 BDT, with tiers at 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 depending on page count, how much custom design you want versus a configured layout, and whether you need a shop or a catalogue. A fully custom build — not WordPress, but something architected from scratch — starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50% to begin and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
You approve the design before I write a line of code, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay. It doesn't quietly grow into a third invoice halfway through.
Why is there a 50,000 floor when you can find 12,000 taka WordPress quotes near GEC? Because below that, the math stops working for a site that's meant to earn. A real build needs a licensed theme and the few paid plugins the site genuinely uses, design that's drawn for your business rather than borrowed from a demo, and the unglamorous hours that go into making the dashboard something a non-technical owner can actually run. Quote 12,000 and one of those gets sacrificed — usually all of them.
You end up with a nulled theme, a pile of plugins nobody documented, and a site that looks fine on launch day and becomes your problem by month three. I'd rather not sell that and then watch you pay someone else to undo it.
What I'm offering on this page is a price you can take to a partner, a board, or your own budget and defend line by line — not the cheapest sticker in Chattogram. WordPress website development in Chittagong, BD this way means one senior operator with about five years behind him, who designs, builds and ships the site himself and is the same person you message six months later. No account manager, no junior quietly learning on your project, no surprise maintenance package sprung at handover.
Read on for exactly what separates the 50,000 tier from the 90,000 and 1,50,000 ones, so you can match the price to the site your business actually needs rather than the one a quote happened to describe.
