How to Choose a Web Development Company in Bangladesh: 9 Questions to Ask
Choosing the wrong development company usually costs more than the project itself: a domain registered in someone else’s name, a half-finished site, or software nobody else can maintain. Most of these problems are easy to avoid if you ask the right questions before you pay. Here are nine that matter, and what a good answer sounds like.
1. Who will own the domain, hosting and source code?
Good answer: you. The domain and hosting should be registered in your name, and you should receive the full source code and admin logins at handover. If the agency keeps ownership, you can be locked in or lose your site if the relationship ends.
2. What exactly is included — in writing?
Good answer: a written scope listing pages, features and deliverables. “Unlimited features” or a vague verbal promise is how projects end in arguments.
3. What will it cost after the first year?
Good answer: clear renewal prices for the domain and hosting, plus what maintenance costs after the free support period. Many packages include domain and hosting for one year only.
4. How is payment structured?
Good answer: a split such as 50% to start and 50% on delivery, or milestone payments for larger projects. Be cautious about paying everything upfront.
5. Can I see live projects — and what exactly did you build?
Good answer: links to real, live websites or apps, and honesty about which parts the company built. Open them and click around. A portfolio of screenshots alone proves little.
6. Who will actually build it?
Good answer: a clear answer about the team doing the work. Some companies sell the project and outsource it to freelancers you never meet. That is not always bad, but you should know.
7. What technology will you use, and why?
Good answer: a reason tied to your needs. Read our guide to WordPress, Laravel and Next.js to judge the answer. Also ask whether another developer could maintain it later.
8. What support do I get after launch, and for how long?
Good answer: a defined support period (for example three or six months) that covers bug fixes and small content changes, with new features quoted separately. Ask how quickly they respond.
9. How long will it take, and what do you need from me?
Good answer: a realistic timeline that depends on your side too. Projects stall most often waiting for content, logos and feedback. A company that promises an impossible deadline is telling you what you want to hear.
