I’m Ujjwal Rupakheti, a full-stack developer in Itahari who works online as a web developer in Dhangadhi for Kailali schools, clinics, shops and traders. Websites start from NPR 18,000 and SEO audits from NPR 15,000. You talk to me on WhatsApp or video, in Nepali or English, and check progress on a weekly preview link.
The Dhangadhi market
Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City is the headquarters of Kailali District and the main commercial centre of Sudurpashchim Province. At the 2021 census, 198,792 people lived in its 19 wards. The provincial assembly named Godawari, to the north, as the permanent capital in 2018, but the provincial ministries still work from temporary offices in Dhangadhi.
It is also the town the hills shop in. When strikes have shut Dhangadhi’s market, the Himalayan Times has reported shortages in Doti, Dadeldhura, Bajura, Bajhang and Achham, because the trucks for those districts load here. Nepal Airlines flies from Dhangadhi Airport to Bajura, Dipayal and Bajhang, and Buddha Air flies to Kathmandu.
South of the city is the border with Gauriphanta, in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh, with a customs point for goods. Put together, a Dhangadhi business often sells to people who are not in Dhangadhi yet, and that is exactly the job a website does well.

Who searches
Five groups look for Dhangadhi businesses online, and each one wants something different from the page it lands on. A good site decides which group it is for before a single page is designed.
At the 2011 census, 36.4% of residents spoke Tharu as their first language, 31.3% Doteli and 22.1% Nepali, and Hindi is common across the border. Expect searches typed in Nepali script, Romanised Nepali and English, and write for all three.
Ministries, departments and the projects around them look for suppliers, venues and consultants. They want a company profile, past work, PAN or VAT details and a phone that answers.
Families and shopkeepers from Doti, Dadeldhura, Baitadi or Achham check stock before a long bus ride. A product list with prices and a WhatsApp button saves them a wasted trip.
Kailali Multiple Campus began in 1980 and joined Far Western University as a constituent campus in 2021. It and the city’s private colleges compete for students across the province with course pages, fees and admission dates.
Seti Provincial Hospital, upgraded from a regional hospital in 2018, and private hospitals draw patients from the hills. They search for a doctor, a lab or a room nearby, mostly on Google Maps.
01Websites
I keep every site light, because many visitors open it on mobile data from the hills, and I give each one a clear next step: call, WhatsApp, an admission form or an order. Here is what I build for Dhangadhi and where each starts; the full process is on my web developer in Nepal page.
Programme and fee pages, admission dates, notices, results and a gallery your office updates itself, with an enquiry form that lands on WhatsApp.
Doctor and department pages with OPD days, tests and prices, opening hours and directions, in Nepali and English, matched to your Google profile.
A catalogue with prices, stock and delivery areas, and checkout by eSewa, Khalti or Fonepay, so a shopkeeper in Doti can order before the truck leaves.
Rooms or menus with real photos and prices, a map pin and one-tap booking for people in town for an office visit, a hospital stay or a flight.
Examples of how people phrase searches, not search-volume data.
02Search
When I checked who ranks for a web developer in Dhangadhi, the results were mostly directory listings and personal profiles, with very few pages written for local businesses. Where results are that thin, a business that does the basics properly has real room to stand out.
The method is on my local SEO in Nepal page and in my Google Business Profile guide. For campaigns beyond Kailali, see SEO expert in Nepal.
Working together
Itahari and Dhangadhi sit at opposite ends of the East-West Highway, about 695 km apart in a straight line. I don’t travel to Dhangadhi, so every project runs online, and for websites and SEO that costs you nothing in quality.

Pricing
Prices are the same across Nepal: websites from NPR 18,000, online stores from NPR 60,000, SaaS from NPR 70,000 and SEO audits from NPR 15,000. A school or college with many programmes usually fits the CMS tier, so your office can post notices itself.

Coverage
I work with businesses across Kailali and Kanchanpur, and with hill-district firms that sell through Dhangadhi. East along the highway, the Nepalgunj page covers Banke’s hospitals and border trade.

Ask me on WhatsAppA static website for a clinic, hotel or shop starts from NPR 18,000. A school, college or company site with a CMS starts from NPR 35,000, and an online store with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay from NPR 60,000. Domain and hosting are extra, and the price is fixed in writing after a short call.
No. I work from Itahari, about 695 km away in a straight line, and I don’t travel to Dhangadhi. Projects run on WhatsApp and video calls with a preview link every week. Your website, Google Business Profile and Search Console are all managed online, so the distance changes very little.
Yes. A school or college site needs programme and fee pages, admission dates, notices, results and a gallery that office staff can update, plus an enquiry form that reaches WhatsApp. It is built on a CMS from NPR 35,000, with pages written for the searches parents and students make across the province.
Usually both. Many people in Kailali speak Tharu or Doteli at home, but they tend to search in Nepali script, Romanised Nepali or English. Nepali pages suit patients and shoppers, while English suits colleges, offices and visitors. I build both versions with hreflang tags, and add Hindi pages only if many customers come from India.
Create or claim your Google Business Profile, choose the exact category, place the pin carefully and give the ward and a landmark in the address. Add real photos and opening hours, then ask happy customers for reviews. My Google Business Profile guide covers each step, or I can set it up and link it to your site.
Yes. A store can list the districts you deliver to, such as Doti, Dadeldhura or Achham, with delivery charges and times for each, and take payment by eSewa, Khalti or Fonepay. Orders reach you as a clean list instead of a string of phone calls. Online stores start from NPR 60,000.
Fixing a wrong category, a misplaced pin or missing hours can show results within weeks. Ranking for wider searches, such as colleges or hospitals in Dhangadhi, usually takes three to six months of steady page, review and photo work, and nobody can honestly promise a position. I report calls, direction requests and rankings every month.
You do. The domain, hosting, code and content are in your name after the final payment, and I hand over every login with a short guide to running the site. If you change developers later, everything they need is already in your hands, and nothing is locked to me.
Tell me what you run, who your customers are and where they come from. I reply within one working day with questions and a first estimate.
