How Much Does a Website Cost in Bangladesh in 2026?
২০২৬ সালে বাংলাদেশে ওয়েবসাইট তৈরির খরচ কত?
A website in Bangladesh costs between ৳3,000 and ৳5,00,000+ in 2026, depending on the type and complexity. Landing pages start from ৳6,000 at DIPTAIT, corporate sites from ৳10,000, and e-commerce platforms from ৳15,000. Here's a complete breakdown of website development costs to help you budget effectively.
Types of Websites and Their Costs
Landing Pages (৳3,000–৳10,000): A single-page website designed to showcase your business or a specific product. Landing pages are ideal for startups, freelancers, and campaign launches. At this price range, you get a responsive, mobile-friendly page with basic contact information and a call-to-action. DIPTAIT offers custom-coded landing pages starting from just ৳6,000.
Multi-Page Corporate Websites (৳10,000–৳50,000): These include multiple pages such as Home, About Us, Services, Portfolio, Blog, and Contact. Corporate websites are essential for established businesses that want to build credibility online. Pricing depends on the number of pages, custom features, and design complexity.
E-Commerce Stores (৳15,000–৳2,00,000+): Online stores with product listings, shopping cart, checkout process, payment integration (bKash, Nagad, card payments), inventory management, and admin panels. Basic e-commerce starts around ৳15,000, while feature-rich platforms with customer accounts, order tracking, and multiple payment gateways can go up to ৳2,00,000 or more.
Custom Web Applications (৳50,000–৳5,00,000+): Complex platforms like SaaS products, marketplaces, booking systems, or social networks. These require extensive backend development, database design, API integration, and ongoing maintenance.
Website Cost Comparison Table
| Type | Price Range | Timeline | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | ৳3,000–৳10,000 | 1-2 days | Startups, campaigns |
| Corporate Site | ৳10,000–৳50,000 | 3-7 days | Established businesses |
| E-Commerce | ৳15,000–৳2,00,000 | 1-4 weeks | Online retailers |
| Custom Web App | ৳50,000–৳5,00,000+ | 1-3 months | SaaS, marketplaces |
Factors That Affect Website Cost
Several factors influence the final price of your website: design complexity (custom design vs. template-based), number of pages, features needed (contact forms, payment gateways, user accounts, real-time chat), CMS requirements (custom admin panel vs. WordPress), SEO optimization, and mobile responsiveness. Payment gateway integration — especially bKash and Nagad — adds to the development time and cost.
Freelancer vs. Agency: Which Should You Choose?
Freelancers in Bangladesh typically charge ৳3,000–৳30,000 for websites, while agencies charge ৳10,000–৳5,00,000+. Freelancers offer lower prices but may lack reliability, post-launch support, and quality consistency. Agencies provide structured workflows, multiple skill sets (design, development, SEO), and ongoing support. At DIPTAIT, we combine the affordability of freelance pricing with the reliability and quality of an agency.
Tips for Budgeting Your Website
Start by defining your goals clearly. A landing page is enough if you just need an online presence. Invest more if you need e-commerce or complex features. Always factor in ongoing costs like domain renewal (৳1,000–৳1,500/yr), hosting (৳2,000–৳10,000/yr), and maintenance. Get quotes from multiple providers and compare value, not just price.
Hidden Costs Most Clients Don't Know About
The quoted development price is never the full picture. Before you sign off on a project, make sure you understand the recurring and one-time extras that come with running a live website in Bangladesh.
Domain renewal is an annual expense most people forget. A .com domain costs around ৳1,200/year, while a .com.bd (ideal for local SEO) runs about ৳1,500/year. If your developer registered the domain on your behalf, confirm that the domain ownership is in your name — not theirs.
SSL certificates used to be a significant expense, but in 2026 they're free if you deploy on platforms like Vercel or use Cloudflare. Traditional hosting providers may still charge ৳2,000–৳5,000/year for SSL, so ask before committing.
Hosting varies widely. Shared hosting runs ৳2,000–৳5,000/year and works for low-traffic sites. VPS hosting costs ৳5,000–৳15,000/year and gives you more control and better performance. Cloud platforms like Vercel offer a free tier that handles most small-to-medium business sites without any hosting bill.
Email hosting for a custom domain (e.g., info@yourbusiness.com) costs ৳1,500–৳5,000/year depending on the provider and number of mailboxes. Google Workspace and Zoho Mail are the most popular choices in Bangladesh.
Maintenance is the cost most clients underestimate. Security updates, plugin patches, content changes, and bug fixes add up. Expect to pay ৳2,000–৳10,000/month depending on your site's complexity. If you plan to run a blog, factor in monthly content writing costs as well — quality Bangla or English articles run ৳500–৳2,000 each.
WordPress vs Custom Code: Real Cost Comparison
This is the question every business owner in Bangladesh asks: should I go with WordPress or pay for custom-coded development? The answer depends on your timeline, budget, and long-term goals. Here's an honest side-by-side comparison based on real pricing in the Bangladesh market.
| Feature | WordPress | Custom (Next.js/React) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | ৳3,000–৳15,000 | ৳6,000–৳50,000 |
| Monthly Hosting | ৳200–৳1,000/mo | Free (Vercel) – ৳500/mo |
| Speed (PageSpeed) | 40–70 score | 90–100 score |
| SEO | Good (with plugins) | Excellent (built-in) |
| Security | Vulnerable (plugins) | Very secure (no plugins) |
| Maintenance Cost | ৳2,000–৳8,000/mo | ৳0–৳3,000/mo |
| Scalability | Limited | Highly scalable |
| Customization | Theme-dependent | Fully flexible |
WordPress wins on upfront cost — you can get a basic site running for under ৳5,000. But over three years, the total cost of ownership tells a different story. Plugin updates break things, shared hosting slows down under traffic, and security patches become a monthly headache. A custom Next.js site costs more to build initially, but hosting can be free, maintenance is minimal, and performance stays excellent without constant intervention. For most Bangladesh businesses planning to operate online long-term, custom code pays for itself within 18–24 months.
How to Get the Best Value for Your Budget
Getting a good website isn't just about finding the lowest price — it's about maximizing what you get for every taka you spend. Here are practical steps to ensure you don't overpay or end up with a site that hurts your business.
Get multiple quotes. Reach out to at least three developers or agencies. This gives you a realistic sense of the market rate and helps you spot outliers — both overpriced agencies and suspiciously cheap freelancers.
Ask for portfolio samples that match your project type. If you need an e-commerce site, don't settle for a developer who only shows you landing pages. Look for live sites you can test on your phone.
Clarify what's included. Before signing anything, confirm: How many revisions are included? What's the support period after launch? Do you own the source code? These details prevent disputes later.
Avoid the cheapest option. A ৳2,000 website almost always means a pre-made template with your logo swapped in. It won't rank on Google, it won't convert visitors, and you'll pay to rebuild it within a year.
Ask about post-launch support. A good developer relationship doesn't end at delivery. Ask about maintenance plans, response times for urgent fixes, and what ongoing support costs. DIPTAIT offers maintenance starting from ৳2,000/month.
Real Cost Breakdown: DIPTAIT Client Example
To make these numbers concrete, here's a real example. A fashion boutique in Dhaka approached DIPTAIT needing an e-commerce website to sell clothing online with bKash payment integration, product filtering, and a mobile-friendly shopping experience.
Here's what the first year actually cost:
- Development (custom Next.js with bKash integration): ৳15,000 (one-time)
- Domain (.com registration): ৳1,200/year
- Hosting (Vercel free tier): ৳0
- SSL certificate (included with Vercel): ৳0
- Total first year: ৳16,200
For comparison, agencies in Dhaka quoted the same client ৳50,000–৳1,00,000 for a similar scope using WordPress and WooCommerce — with additional monthly hosting fees of ৳500–৳1,500. Over three years, the DIPTAIT build saves this client ৳40,000+ while delivering a faster, more secure, and easier-to-maintain website. That's the difference between paying for overhead and paying for results.
