"How much does a website cost?" is the first question almost every client asks. The honest answer is that it depends on a handful of clear factors. Once you understand them, you can compare quotes properly and avoid paying for things you do not need.
What drives the price
- Number of pages and templates. A five-page brochure site is very different from a 40-page multilingual site.
- Features. Online payments, booking, client logins, product catalogues and dashboards each add design, development and testing time.
- Languages. Every extra language adds translation, layout checks and, for Arabic, right-to-left design.
- Integrations. Payment gateways such as SSLCommerz or Stripe, CRMs, WhatsApp and email tools all need setup and testing.
- Design level. Template-based designs cost less than custom design with 3D, motion and illustration.
- Content. Copywriting, photography and video are often forgotten in early budgets.
Bangladesh and UK pricing
Agencies in London and across the UK typically charge much higher day rates than teams in Dhaka, because salaries and office costs are higher. Many UK, US and UAE businesses work with Bangladesh-based teams for this reason, as long as quality, communication and project management are strong.
VANTAGE combines both: a head office in London and a delivery team in Dhaka. Our current packages start from BDT 85,000 for a launch website, with growth and scale packages for businesses that need lead pipelines, client portals, apps or custom platforms. See the pricing page for the latest prices in your currency.
Hidden costs to ask about
- Domain and hosting renewal every year
- SSL certificates, backups and security updates
- Paid plugins or software licences
- Content updates after launch
- Advertising budget, if you plan to run Google or Meta ads

Frequently asked questions
How much does a basic business website cost in Bangladesh?
A simple, professional business website from an established company usually costs from around BDT 85,000 with VANTAGE, depending on pages and features. Always compare what is included, not only the price.
Why are UK agencies more expensive?
Higher salaries, office costs and taxes. Working with a company that has UK management and a Bangladesh delivery team can give you local communication at a lower total cost.
Do I pay everything up front?
No. A typical structure is a deposit at the start and the balance on completion, with invoices and receipts for every payment.
