Calculating Your ROI

Simple formula:

Additional Monthly Revenue - Monthly Investment = Monthly Profit
Monthly Profit × 12 = Annual Return
Annual Return / Total Investment = ROI %

Example:

Investment: BDT 150,000
Additional monthly leads: 20
Average deal value: BDT 10,000
Close rate: 20%

Monthly increase: 20 × BDT 10,000 × 20% = BDT 40,000 Annual return: BDT 40,000 × 12 = BDT 480,000 ROI: (BDT 480,000 / BDT 150,000) × 100 = 320%

Beyond Numbers

Some benefits are harder to quantify:

Brand credibility and trust
Competitive advantage
Customer confidence
Professional image
Market positioning

Making the Right Investment

Questions to ask providers: 1. What's included in the price? 2. What happens after launch? 3. How will you measure success? 4. What's the maintenance plan? 5. Can the site scale with my business?

Conclusion

Professional web development isn't an expense—it's an investment in your business's future. When done right, your website becomes your most valuable marketing asset, working 24/7 to grow your business.
