What is web development?
Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It includes: front-end development (what users see), back-end development (servers and databases), and full-stack development (both). Web development encompasses design, coding, content management, and performance optimisation.
Why does my Bangladesh business need a website?
A professional website is your business’s digital headquarters — it’s where customers go to verify credibility, learn about your services, and contact you. In Bangladesh’s growing digital economy, businesses without professional websites lose credibility and customers to competitors. A website works 24/7, generating enquiries while you sleep.
How much does a website cost in Bangladesh?
Website costs in Bangladesh range widely: basic informational website BDT 15,000–50,000; professional business website BDT 50,000–150,000; e-commerce website (WooCommerce) BDT 80,000–300,000; custom Shopify store BDT 80,000–250,000; enterprise custom development BDT 300,000+. Ongoing maintenance adds BDT 5,000–20,000/month.
How long does it take to build a website in Bangladesh?
Timeline depends on complexity: landing page 3–7 days; basic business website 2–4 weeks; e-commerce website 4–8 weeks; large custom website 8–16 weeks. Timelines are affected by: client responsiveness in providing content and feedback, revision rounds, and feature complexity.
What is front-end vs back-end development?
Front-end development builds what users see and interact with (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React). Back-end development handles server-side logic, databases, and APIs (PHP, Python, Node.js, MySQL). Full-stack developers handle both. For most Bangladesh business websites, a front-end-focused WordPress or Shopify developer is sufficient.
What is responsive design?
Responsive design means your website automatically adjusts its layout and content to look and function correctly on all screen sizes — desktop, tablet, and mobile. In Bangladesh, 75%+ of web traffic is mobile, making responsive design non-negotiable for any new website.
What is a CMS (Content Management System)?
A CMS allows non-technical users to update website content without coding. Popular CMSs: WordPress (43% of all websites, best for content sites), Shopify (e-commerce), Webflow (designer-friendly), and Wix/Squarespace (beginner-friendly). WordPress and Shopify are the two recommended platforms for Bangladesh businesses.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is the world’s most popular website platform, powering 43% of all websites. It’s open-source, highly customisable, great for SEO, and has thousands of plugins and themes. For Bangladesh businesses needing a blog, service website, or content-rich presence, WordPress with Elementor is the go-to choice.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is your website’s address (e.g., agentwisex.com). Register .com.bd for Bangladesh-focused businesses (BDT 500–1,000/year), or .com for international reach ($10–15/year). Purchase from domain registrars like Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Bangladesh-based registrars.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting stores your website’s files and makes them accessible on the internet. Options for Bangladesh: Shared hosting (BDT 5,000–15,000/year, good for small sites), VPS hosting (BDT 30,000–80,000/year, better performance), or cloud hosting (AWS, DigitalOcean). Agent Wise X recommends Hostinger for WordPress sites in Bangladesh.
WordPress Development Bangladesh
Why use WordPress for a Bangladesh business website?
WordPress is recommended because: it’s free and open-source, SEO-friendly by nature, has Elementor for drag-and-drop design, thousands of plugins for any functionality, easy for non-technical staff to update, and has a huge developer community for support. Agent Wise X builds all service websites on WordPress.
What is Elementor?
Elementor is the leading drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress. It allows visual website design without coding — used by 5+ million websites. Elementor Pro ($49–99/year) adds popups, dynamic content, and WooCommerce builder. Agent Wise X uses Elementor Pro for all WordPress client sites.
What is WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is WordPress’s e-commerce plugin (free, with paid extensions). It turns a WordPress site into a full online store with product management, checkout, payment processing, and shipping. For Bangladesh businesses wanting a content-rich e-commerce site, WooCommerce is a strong Shopify alternative.
What is a WordPress theme?
A WordPress theme controls your site’s visual design. Free themes are available in the WordPress repository; premium themes ($20–100 one-time) offer more features. For businesses using Elementor, any lightweight theme works (Hello Elementor is free and optimal for Elementor-built sites).
What is a WordPress plugin?
WordPress plugins add functionality to your site. Essential plugins for Bangladesh business websites: Yoast SEO (SEO), WP Rocket (caching/speed), Elementor (page builder), WooCommerce (e-commerce), Contact Form 7 (contact forms), Wordfence (security), and UpdraftPlus (backups).
How do I secure a WordPress website?
WordPress security essentials: keep WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated, use strong admin passwords, install Wordfence or Sucuri security plugin, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), use SSL certificate (HTTPS), regularly backup (UpdraftPlus), and hide the /wp-login.php URL.
What is WordPress page speed optimisation?
Speed up WordPress with: WP Rocket caching plugin, image compression (Imagify or Smush), Cloudflare CDN (free plan works well), removing unused plugins, using a lightweight theme, deferring JavaScript, and optimising the database. Target Google PageSpeed score of 85+ on mobile.
How much does WordPress website development cost in Bangladesh?
WordPress website development costs in Bangladesh: 5-page business site BDT 30,000–80,000; 10–15 page website with Elementor BDT 60,000–150,000; WordPress + WooCommerce e-commerce BDT 80,000–250,000; full custom WordPress BDT 200,000+. Ongoing maintenance BDT 5,000–15,000/month.
What is multisite WordPress?
WordPress Multisite allows running multiple websites from a single WordPress installation with shared users, themes, and plugins. Useful for organisations with multiple regional websites (e.g., Agent Wise X Bangladesh + UAE sites) or companies managing several brands.
How do I migrate a WordPress website to a new host?
Migrate WordPress using: Duplicator plugin (creates a complete package), All-in-One WP Migration (simpler for smaller sites), or manual export via phpMyAdmin + FTP. Always test on the new host before pointing the domain, and enable HTTPS on the new host before going live.
Shopify vs WordPress for Bangladesh
Should I use Shopify or WordPress for my Bangladesh e-commerce?
Shopify: better for pure e-commerce, easier to manage, lower technical risk, built-in checkout optimisation, scales well. WordPress+WooCommerce: more flexible, better for content-led SEO, cheaper to start. Agent Wise X recommends Shopify for most Bangladesh e-commerce businesses and WordPress for service/content sites.
What is the total cost of ownership for Shopify vs WooCommerce?
Shopify: $39–105/month subscription + 0.5–2% transaction fees (waived with Shopify Payments) + app costs. WooCommerce: hosting $20–50/month + developer maintenance $50–200/month + premium plugins $200–500/year. At scale, costs are comparable — Shopify’s convenience often justifies the subscription.
Can I switch from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. Migration from WooCommerce to Shopify involves: exporting products/customers/orders (using Matrixify or Cart2Cart), setting up new Shopify theme, recreating payment and shipping settings, redirecting old URLs to new ones (301 redirects), and updating all marketing integrations. Agent Wise X handles migrations.
What is headless commerce?
Headless commerce decouples the front-end presentation layer from the e-commerce back-end. For example: Shopify handles commerce logic while a custom React/Next.js front-end delivers the shopping experience. Used by large brands for maximum performance. Not recommended for most Bangladesh businesses at typical scale.
What is a landing page and how is it different from a website?
A landing page is a single-purpose web page designed to convert visitors from a specific campaign (ad, email, or SEO). Unlike a full website, a landing page removes all distractions and focuses on one action (contact, buy, sign up). Agent Wise X builds high-converting landing pages for Bangladesh ad campaigns.
Web Development Process & Technical
What is UI/UX design?
UI (User Interface) design focuses on visual elements — typography, colour, buttons, layout. UX (User Experience) design focuses on how users interact with your site — navigation flow, conversion path, and overall usability. Good UI/UX improves conversion rates, reduces bounce rates, and builds brand trust.
What is HTTPS and why is it important?
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) encrypts data between a user’s browser and your server. It’s required for: e-commerce (protecting payment data), user login pages, and any form collecting personal information. Google gives slight ranking preference to HTTPS sites. Get a free SSL certificate via Let’s Encrypt.
What is a CDN (Content Delivery Network)?
A CDN stores copies of your website’s static files on servers worldwide, delivering them from the closest server to each user. Cloudflare (free plan) is recommended for Bangladesh websites — it reduces load times for Bangladesh users and provides DDoS protection.
What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance includes: updating WordPress/plugins/themes (monthly), backing up site (weekly), monitoring uptime, fixing broken links, refreshing content, checking and fixing page speed, renewing domain/hosting, and updating security certificates.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter for my website?
Core Web Vitals are Google’s website experience metrics: LCP (loading speed, target under 2.5s), INP (interactivity, under 200ms), CLS (visual stability, under 0.1). Failing these can hurt Google rankings. For Bangladesh websites, poor hosting and unoptimised images are the most common culprits.
What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility ensures your website can be used by people with disabilities — screen readers for the visually impaired, keyboard navigation for motor disabilities. Basic accessibility practices: alt text on images, sufficient colour contrast, proper heading hierarchy, and focus indicators for keyboard navigation.
What is a website audit?
A website audit identifies technical issues, SEO problems, performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and UX problems. Agent Wise X conducts website audits as part of our SEO and web development services. A thorough audit identifies priority fixes that will most improve performance and rankings.
What is Google PageSpeed Insights?
Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev) measures your website’s loading performance on mobile and desktop, giving a score of 0–100. It identifies specific issues (image sizes, unused CSS, render-blocking resources) with actionable fix recommendations. Target 80+ for both mobile and desktop.
What is mobile-first development?
Mobile-first development designs and builds for mobile screens first, then adapts for larger screens. Given that 75%+ of Bangladesh web traffic is mobile, mobile-first is the correct approach for all new websites. Avoid designing for desktop first and then trying to make it work on mobile.
What is Google Tag Manager?
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free tool that centralises all tracking codes on your website. Instead of adding Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and other scripts individually to your code, GTM manages all tags from one interface — no developer required for most tag changes.

Should I hire a freelance developer or an agency in Bangladesh?
Freelancer: cheaper, direct communication, suitable for simple sites. Agency: broader skills (design + development + marketing + SEO), accountability, ongoing support, better for complex projects or sites needing post-launch marketing. For business-critical websites, an agency is recommended.

Freelancers with international clients earn significantly more (USD equivalent). Web development is one of Bangladesh’s highest-demand tech skills.
What should be included in a web development contract?
A web development contract should cover: scope of work (number of pages, features), timeline with milestones, payment schedule, who provides content/images, number of revision rounds included, post-launch support period, ownership of code/design, and what happens if either party cancels.
What questions should I ask before hiring a web developer in Bangladesh?
Ask: 1) Show me similar projects you’ve completed; 2) Who will work on my project (team or outsourced)?; 3) What’s included in post-launch support?; 4) How will you optimise my site for speed and SEO?; 5) What’s your revision process?; 6) How do I update content myself after launch?.
