About the pricing
Why two WordPress quotes for the same brief in Gulshan can differ by 4x
Last month, a brand manager near Gulshan Circle 1 sent me three quotes. She wanted to understand the WordPress website development price in Gulshan. The lowest quote was 25,000 BDT, and the highest was 4,80,000 BDT. The brief was the same: eight pages, a small blog, a contact form and a link to their existing Mailchimp list.
The gap was not magic or padding. One person would install a free template on shared hosting in two days. A mid-market shop would assemble the site on a page builder over three weeks. A senior developer would build a custom theme with proper schema, an image pipeline and editor training. All three were technically WordPress. None of them were the same product.
I keep my prices in three published tiers. Gulshan buyers, from agency MDs and restaurant owners to importers and clinic founders, deserve to know the floor and ceiling before a meeting. Starter is 50,000 BDT. It gets a polished five-to-seven-page WordPress site on a refined premium theme. It has your brand fonts, real photo placement and a working contact-to-email flow.
Growth, at 90,000 BDT, adds a blog with proper categories and on-page SEO across every page. It also adds basic schema markup, with Google Analytics 4 and Search Console connected. You get one round of revisions on every page.
Premium, at 1,50,000 BDT, is where most Gulshan corporate sites land. It is a custom-designed WordPress build, not a recycled theme. It can be bilingual if you need Bangla and English side by side. It has multi-step lead forms, with bKash or Nagad payment links if you take deposits. It has careers and team pages you can edit. It also includes a one-hour training session over Google Meet, so your admin can update the site without calling me every week.
Custom WordPress projects start at 3,00,000 BDT. These include membership portals, multi-vendor directories, headless setups and deep links to your accounting or POS system. I quote them after a discovery call, because the scope truly varies.
You will not see a fake 'starting from 15,000 BDT' banner on this page. That number shows up in Gulshan WhatsApp groups. It almost always means a free template with the demo content barely renamed. The server goes down when Facebook ads spike traffic, and the developer vanishes after week three.
My 50,000 BDT floor is the minimum honest cost of a site I will put my name on. It covers domain setup, real hosting setup and a design matched to your brand. It also covers mobile testing on real Android handsets and a launch I manage myself.
