The best website developer for your business in Bangladesh is the one who gives you a written price and scope, keeps your domain and hosting in your name, explains support after launch and does not promise rankings or sales. Price matters, but a cheap website that you cannot edit, do not own or that breaks without support usually costs more later.

Before you contact anyone: decide what kind of website you need

  • Landing page: one page for one product, offer, event or campaign.
  • Business website: a few pages that explain your company, services, location and contact details.
  • E-commerce website: a catalogue, cart and checkout for selling many products, with Cash on Delivery and bKash or Nagad where your accounts allow.

Knowing this stops you from paying for an online shop when you only need a business website, or the other way round.

12 questions to ask every developer

Price and scope

  1. What exactly is included in the price? Ask for the number of pages or products, features and revisions in writing.
  2. What is not included? Domain, hosting, paid plugins, copywriting, photos, payment gateway fees and extra pages are common extras.
  3. Is the price one-time or monthly? Some low prices are monthly rentals where you never own the website.
  4. How are changes priced after we agree the scope? A clear answer now avoids arguments later.

Ownership and access

  1. Will the domain be registered in my name? If not, moving away later can be very difficult.
  2. Will I get the admin login and hosting access? You should be able to edit content and move hosts if you need to.
  3. Which platform will you use, and why? WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify or custom code each have different costs and limits. A good developer explains the trade-off.

Quality and fit

  1. Can I open examples of your work? Live websites tell you more than screenshots. If a developer is new or cannot share client work, ask for a detailed written plan instead.
  2. How will it work on phones? Most visitors in Bangladesh arrive on a phone, often from Facebook. Ask to see the preview on your own phone before launch.
  3. Have you set up bKash, Nagad or courier workflows before? This matters only for online shops, but it matters a lot.

After launch

  1. Who fixes problems after launch, and how fast? Ask what is free, what is paid and how to reach them.
  2. Will you train me to update the website myself? Being able to change prices, photos and text without calling a developer saves money every month.

Warning signs

  • Guaranteed “#1 on Google” rankings, guaranteed sales or guaranteed AI search visibility.
  • No written scope, or a price that changes every time you ask.
  • The developer keeps the domain or logins in their own name.
  • A very low price with no explanation of what is left out.

Is a cheap website developer a bad idea?

No. A low price is fine when the scope is small and clear. What makes a cheap website expensive is everything that was quietly left out: hosting you cannot control, no mobile design, no training and no support. Compare at least two written quotes and check them against the questions above.
