A website developer in Nepal, working for businesses worldwide.
We build for businesses across Nepal, and from Nepal for businesses in the USA, Australia, Canada, the UK and beyond: on your laws, your currency and a working-hours overlap we plan around.
Countries and cities we build for
Each page covers the local laws, payments, search habits and time-zone overlap.
- Website developer in NepalA good website developer in Nepal builds for the phone your customer is holding, the wallet they pay with and the Viber or Messenger chat they would rather send than fill in a form. Here is what that looks like in practice, and how we work to that standard.
- Website developer in USAMeritbyte Technologies builds and maintains websites for American companies and agencies from Nepal. We have no US office. What we offer instead is a team whose evening is your morning, specs agreed in writing, and accounts that stay in your company's name.
- Website developer in AustraliaMeritbyte Technologies builds websites for Australian businesses from Nepal, which sits 4 hours 15 minutes behind Sydney in winter. Your afternoon is our morning, so most questions are answered on the same working day.
- Website developer in CanadaMeritbyte Technologies is a Nepal-based team that builds websites for Canadian companies remotely. Toronto's morning is Nepal's evening, so review cycles turn around overnight, and CASL, Law 25 and AODA are handled inside the build rather than bolted on afterwards.
- Website developer in UKMeritbyte Technologies is a Nepal-based development team working remotely for UK companies. Nepal is 4 hours 45 minutes ahead of British Summer Time, so your morning overlaps our afternoon and most review cycles close within a working day.
- Website developer in New ZealandMeritbyte Technologies is a Nepal-based team building websites for New Zealand businesses remotely. Nepal is 6 hours 15 minutes behind New Zealand in winter, so our morning meets your afternoon. The window is short, and we plan the work around it.
- Website developer in UAEMeritbyte Technologies is a Nepal-based team building Arabic and English websites for UAE businesses remotely. Nepal is only 1 hour 45 minutes ahead of Gulf Standard Time, so our working days overlap almost completely.
- Website developer in SingaporeMeritbyte Technologies is a Nepal-based team that builds websites and web applications for Singapore businesses remotely. Nepal is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Singapore, so most of our working day sits inside yours.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Meritbyte Technologies based?
Meritbyte Technologies is based in Nepal. The whole team works from Nepal and serves clients in Nepal directly and clients in the USA, Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, the UAE, Singapore and elsewhere remotely. There are no offices abroad, so meetings with international clients are video calls, backed by written specs and weekly written updates.
Why hire a website developer in Nepal if my business is in another country?
Mainly cost and time. Rates in Nepal are lower than agency rates in Sydney, London, Toronto or New York, and Nepal's UTC+5:45 time zone gives same-day overlap with Australia, Asia, the Gulf and the UK, and overnight progress for North America. The trade-off is no in-person meetings, which we cover with clear written scopes, demos every two weeks and a staging site you can open at any time.
Do you know the laws that apply to websites in my country?
Each location page covers the rules we build for in that market, such as WCAG accessibility and ADA risk in the USA, the Privacy Act 1988 in Australia, PIPEDA and CASL in Canada, UK GDPR and PECR cookie consent in the UK, and Nepal's Individual Privacy Act 2075. We build to them; for legal sign-off on your policies you should still use a lawyer in your country.
How do payments and contracts work for international clients?
You get a written scope and a fixed price for the first milestone before any work starts. After that, work runs in two-week blocks you can stop at the end of. Domains, hosting, payment gateways and ad accounts are opened in your company's name, so your money and data never sit in our accounts.
