The Real Numbers Agencies Won't Tell You
I've spent the last year building websites for clients across Bangladesh — from Dhaka startups to Chittagong restaurant owners. Here's what I learned: most agencies are charging 10x what the work actually costs.
A basic business website with 5 pages — Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact — takes an experienced developer roughly 15-20 hours to build from scratch. At a fair hourly rate of $15-25, that's $300-500 in actual labor.
Yet agencies in Gulshan and Banani routinely quote ৳50,000-150,000 ($420-1,250) for the exact same deliverable. Where does the extra money go? Account managers, office rent, and coffee budgets. Not your website.
Why a $39 Landing Page Can Outperform a $2,000 Build
This sounds like marketing hype. It's not. Here's the data from 50+ sites I've built:
- Speed: A single-page landing site loads in under 1 second. A bloated 15-page agency site? 4-6 seconds. Every second of delay costs you 7% of conversions.
- Focus: One page, one goal, one call-to-action. Visitors don't get lost in navigation menus.
- Mobile-first: Most Bangladeshi traffic is mobile. A $39 mobile-optimized landing page converts better than a $2,000 desktop-first brochure site.

What You're Actually Paying For
When you hire NEXORA, you're not paying for our office rent or our designer's MacBook Pro. You're paying for:
- Pixel-perfect frontend code — hand-written, no templates
- 48-hour delivery — because your business can't wait 3 weeks
- Source files — you own 100% of the code
- Direct communication — talk to the builder, not an account manager
When to Spend More
There are legitimate reasons to invest $5,000+ in a website:
- Custom web applications with user dashboards
- Complex e-commerce with inventory management
- Multi-language sites with 50+ pages
- Advanced SEO and content strategy
For everything else — a professional presence that converts visitors into customers — you don't need to drain your budget.

Final Word
The Bangladesh web design market is inflated. Agencies charge agency prices because they have agency overhead. As a lean, remote studio, we cut the fat and pass the savings to you.
Your website should make you money, not cost you a month's revenue.
