Everything you need to know about working with Design Matra — from pricing and timelines to how we work and what to expect. Can't find your answer? Just WhatsApp us.
Where is Design Matra located?
We are based at ECB Chattar, Manikdi, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka 1206. You are welcome to visit our office in person, though most of our clients work with us entirely remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video call.
How long has Design Matra been in business?
We were founded in 2009 — making us one of Dhaka's most established digital agencies with over 17 years of experience. We have delivered 500+ projects for 100+ clients across 8+ industries during that time.
Do you work with clients outside Dhaka?
Yes — we work with clients across Bangladesh and internationally. Everything is managed remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video calls with no issues.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work across all industries including e-commerce, education, restaurants and food, export and manufacturing, healthcare, real estate, legal and consulting, NGOs, and technology startups. If you are a business that needs a digital presence, we can help.
Do you work in Bengali as well as English?
Yes — we build bilingual websites in Bengali and English, and we create content in both languages. For most Bangladeshi consumer businesses, Bengali content gets significantly higher engagement. We recommend the right language strategy based on your target audience.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on the type of website:
• Business websites — 3–4 weeks
• E-commerce stores — 4–6 weeks
• Education websites — 3–5 weeks
• Restaurant websites — 2–3 weeks
• Large corporate or custom sites — 5–8 weeks
Timelines start from the date we receive your content (logo, photos, text). We give you a firm delivery date before starting work.
Can I update the website myself after it's built?
Yes — every website we build uses WordPress, which has a beginner-friendly dashboard. We train you to update text, add blog posts, upload images, and manage your content. No coding knowledge is required at all. Most clients are comfortable managing their site within 30 minutes of training.
Do you provide hosting and domain registration?
Yes — we can register your domain name and set up reliable hosting on your behalf. Annual hosting typically starts from ৳3,500/year for business websites. If you already have a domain and hosting, we deploy to your existing setup at no extra charge.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely — website redesigns are a major part of our work. We keep your existing domain and migrate all your content to a completely new design. Your site remains live throughout the process and we switch over only when everything is ready, so there is zero downtime for your visitors.
Will my website work on mobile phones?
Yes — every website we build is mobile-first by design. Over 80% of visitors in Bangladesh browse on a smartphone. We test every page on real Android and iOS devices before delivery — not just a browser emulator.
What technology do you build websites on?
We build primarily on WordPress — the world's most popular website platform, powering over 40% of all websites. For e-commerce we use WooCommerce. For custom requirements we also build bespoke solutions using PHP and modern JavaScript frameworks. WordPress was chosen because it is easy for you to manage after launch and has excellent long-term support.
Is SEO included in the website package?
Yes — basic on-page SEO is included in every website package as standard. This includes meta titles and descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, XML sitemap, Google Search Console setup, and schema markup. Ongoing monthly SEO campaigns (for ranking improvement over time) are a separate service — see our SEO page for details.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Most clients start seeing meaningful ranking improvements within 3–4 months. Significant organic traffic growth typically happens in months 4–6. SEO is a long-term investment — the longer you continue, the stronger your rankings become. We show you monthly data throughout so you can see the progress clearly.
How quickly do Facebook and Google Ads generate results?
Facebook ads typically start generating leads within 3–5 days of launch. Google Search ads can produce calls and enquiries within 24–48 hours. The first 2 weeks are a learning period where we optimise the campaign for best performance — results improve week on week.
Do you manage my ad budget or do I pay Facebook directly?
You always pay Facebook and Google directly — we never handle your ad spend. Our management fee covers campaign setup, creative design, daily optimisation, and monthly reporting. This keeps your budget completely transparent and your account safe. We never take a percentage of your ad spend.
What is the minimum ad budget I should start with?
We recommend a minimum of ৳10,000–15,000/month for Facebook ads and ৳15,000–20,000/month for Google Search ads to get meaningful data and results. Below this level, the algorithm doesn't have enough budget to optimise properly. We will recommend the right budget for your specific goals during our free strategy session.
Do you create social media content in Bengali?
Yes — we create captions, posts, and ad copy in Bengali, English, or both. For most Bangladeshi consumer brands, Bengali captions get significantly higher engagement on Facebook and Instagram. We test both and use whichever performs better for your specific audience.
Can I start email marketing if I don't have an email list?
Yes — everyone starts from zero. We set up a signup form on your website, create a lead magnet to attract subscribers, and build your list organically from day one. Many clients reach 200–500 subscribers within the first 3 months just from their existing website traffic.
Can I combine multiple marketing services together?
Yes — and we recommend it. All five services (SEO, Social Media, Ads, Content, and Email) work best together as an integrated strategy. We offer bundled discounts when you combine two or more services. Ask us about our bundled packages during your free strategy session.
How much does a website cost?
Our website packages start from:
• Starter business website — $150
• Standard business website — $350
• E-commerce store — $300–$1200
• Education website — $200–$800
• Restaurant website — $180–$680
The final price depends on the number of pages, features, and customisation required. We always give you a fixed price before starting — no hourly billing surprises.
How do I pay ?
We accept conventional payments ways for international clients. Our standard payment terms are 50% deposit to begin the project and the remaining 50% on delivery. For monthly retainer services (SEO, social media, ads), payment is due at the start of each month. Payment terms are flexible for long-term projects — ask us.
Are there any hidden fees or extra charges?
No — we give you a fixed, all-inclusive quote before starting. The price you agree to is the price you pay. The only additional costs would be third-party services like domain registration, hosting, or ad spend — which are always discussed and agreed upfront, never added as surprises.
Can I negotiate the price or get a custom quote?
Yes — our listed prices are starting rates. We build custom quotes for every project based on your specific requirements, timeline, and budget. We also offer bundled discounts when you combine website development with marketing services. Get a free quote and we will work within your budget wherever possible.
How long do I need to commit to monthly marketing services?
There are no long-term contracts. We recommend a minimum of 3 months for marketing services to see meaningful results, but you can cancel with 30 days notice after that. We earn your continued business through consistent results — not lock-in contracts.
What's included in your free proposal?
Our free proposal includes a recommended service or package, a fixed price breakdown, a project timeline with milestones, and an overview of exactly what we will deliver. We typically send proposals within 24 hours of our initial call. There is no obligation to proceed — it is genuinely free with no pressure.
How do we get started working together?
It's simple — fill in our contact form or send us a WhatsApp message with a brief description of your project. We will get back to you within 24 hours to schedule a free discovery call. After the call, we send a written proposal within 24 hours. If you are happy to proceed, you pay the 50% deposit and we begin.
Do I need to visit your office in person?
Not at all — most of our clients work with us entirely remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video call. In-person meetings at our Dhaka Cantonment office are always welcome but never required. We are set up to work efficiently with clients anywhere in Bangladesh or internationally.
What do I need to provide to start my project?
For websites: your logo (we can design one if needed), any photos of your business or products, and basic business information. We write the page copy for you.
For marketing services: access to your social media pages or ad accounts, and any existing brand materials you have. We guide you through exactly what we need after the discovery call — nothing complicated.
How many revisions do I get?
We include unlimited revisions within the agreed project scope. This means you can request as many changes as you need to the design and content — as long as they are within what was originally agreed. If your requirements change significantly during the project, we discuss any scope adjustments transparently before proceeding.
How will I know what's happening with my project?
We send regular project updates via WhatsApp and email. For websites, you will see the work-in-progress on a staging link before launch. For marketing services, you receive a detailed monthly report. Your dedicated account manager is available on WhatsApp during business hours for any questions.
Will you need admin access to my accounts?
For marketing services, yes — we need admin access to manage your campaigns effectively. We add ourselves as an admin to your Facebook page and ad account. Your accounts always remain in your name and ownership. We never ask to transfer ownership of any account to us.
What support do I get after my website launches?
All website packages include 30–90 days of post-launch support depending on the package. During this period we fix any bugs, answer questions, and help you get comfortable managing the site. After the included support period, we offer affordable monthly maintenance plans from ৳2,500/month covering updates, backups, security, and technical support.
What if something goes wrong with my website?
WhatsApp us immediately — we respond to urgent issues within a few hours during business hours (Saturday–Wednesday 9am–6pm, Thursday 9am–2pm). For clients on monthly maintenance plans, we prioritise their support requests. For one-time project clients within the support period, urgent fixes are included at no extra charge.
Do you train me to use and manage my website?
Yes — every website project includes a training session after launch. We walk you through the WordPress dashboard, show you how to update content, add blog posts, change images, and manage any e-commerce or form features specific to your site. We also provide a simple written guide for reference.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance plans?
Yes — after your included support period ends, you can continue with a monthly maintenance plan. This covers WordPress and plugin updates, daily backups, security monitoring, uptime monitoring, and up to 1 hour of content changes per month. Plans start from ৳2,500/month. Ask us for details.
