Pricing without the games
Why one Dhanmondi quote says 15,000 BDT and the next says 4,50,000 BDT
Last month, a boutique owner in Dhanmondi 27 told me she had spent six weeks chasing quotes on WordPress website development price. The cheapest was a college student offering a free theme install for 12,000 BDT. The most expensive was an agency on Mirpur Road quoting 5,20,000 BDT for what they called an enterprise WordPress build.
The scope she actually needed sat right between those two extremes. Nobody had bothered to explain what each price actually bought her.
WordPress pricing in Dhanmondi looks chaotic because the word WordPress hides four very different things. First, there is a nulled theme dump for 10,000 to 15,000 BDT that crashes in three months. Second, there is a clean ThemeForest setup at 30,000 to 45,000 BDT. It looks fine but bends like rubber under any custom need.
Third, there is a properly configured custom-design WordPress build, which is what I do, starting at 50,000 BDT. Fourth, there is full custom theme development with Advanced Custom Fields, Gutenberg blocks and headless setups. That begins at 3,00,000 BDT.
My work covers the third tier and, for larger Dhanmondi clients, the fourth. Five years of building WordPress sites for local businesses has taught me a pattern. About 90 percent of Dhanmondi buyers need between 50,000 BDT and 1,50,000 BDT, spent properly. That includes clinics off Satmasjid Road, fashion houses near Rapa Plaza, restaurants on Road 11 and consultancies in the residential blocks.
Spending less is throwing money away. Spending more is paying for things you will not use.
