Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh started its journey in the IT industry back in the 1990s, at the same time with the BPO boom in the region and since then, the city has started to relaunch its economy and refocus on the IT sector more than on any other industries.  At the same time, Bangladesh has founded an association that is in charge of the IT BPO processes and creates a window for all other IT companies in the city that are able and willing to export their services in the west. 

Even if Dhaka is somehow shadowed by many Indian cities in terms of IT services, when it comes to IT infrastructure things are better, and Dhaka - the leading city of Bangladesh is one of the largest software exporters in the region. 

On top of that, Dhaka’s human resources are considered one of the largest in the world, with high development potential. Over 45% of its population are youngsters under 25, which under a proper education and training can become talented developers, designers, marketers, and overall highly qualified IT professionals. 

Another important fact about Dhaka companies is the pricing for IT & software services. So, from the top 250 IT locations in the world, Dhaka is relatively cheap compared to the neighboring competitive cities. According to a study published by Everest Group operative costs in Dhaka are 16 to 20% cheaper than in Bangalore, India,  and 30% cheaper than in Cebu, Philippines. This makes Dhaka a potential leading city in attracting investments into the BPO industry. 

When it comes to the salary range in Dhaka, the average base pay of a Java Developer is estimated to be 3505 Euros/Year.  Compared to Bangalore ( 5500 Eur/year) and Cebu ( 6670 Eur/year), Dhaka developers are cheaper, but not less professional, since the IT and software development studies are in top preferences of youngsters, which receive a relatively good education in the system. 

Dhaka has also a number of accelerators, incubators, partnership programs, and associations in the IT industry, that are meant to consolidate the position of companies regionally and stimulate their development.  Ygap, F6S, YSI Bangladesh, and Startup Dhaka are only a few to name among the top such programs located there. 

All in all, Dhaka is a continuously growing city that has high regional potential that could become in the long run a competitive tech hub. It all depends on investments, government, and innovation

Have you ever noticed how some websites and apps just feel easier to use than others? That's because of the UX/UI design - basically, the people who make sure everything looks good and is easy to navigate.

UX/UI design services are closely connected, but they are not the same. They are actually about different parts of the design and to be effective they must work together.

• UI (user interface) design concentrates on visual elements. It is all about how things look and work on a product, like colors, fonts, and buttons.

• UX (user experience) refers to the overall experience a person has with a product  – how easy it is to use the product, how it makes the user feel, and whether it is possible to easily get what is needed from it.

According to research conducted by Forrester, a well-designed user interface (UI) can increase a website's conversion rate by 200%, whereas a better user experience (UX) design could raise it by up to 400%.

In this connection, the importance of UX/UI Design cannot be overstated. Nowadays users have high expectations for the products they use, if a product is not easy to use or enjoyable, users will quickly abandon it. 

UX/UI design can help:

• Enhance user satisfaction

• Reduce bounce rates

• Lead to higher customer retention and revenue

UX Design has also an important role in Inclusive Government Design, which makes government services accessible and user-friendly for diverse and marginalized communities.  

But how do choose the right UX/UI Company? 

1. Review the company's portfolio and make sure they have experience in your industry

2. Look for companies that understand your target audience to meet their needs.

3. Inquire about their design process: research, wireframing, prototyping, and testing.

4. Choose a company that maintains transparent and open communication and keeps you involved throughout the design process.

5. Read client reviews to check their reputation and client satisfaction.

6. A good design company should be up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies.
