Who I Work With

For SME Owners Who Want Their Website and Marketing One WhatsApp Away

You run the business. The website, the Google listing and the ads land on whoever has a spare hour, and that's usually you. I take the whole lot off your hands, and when something needs doing, you send me a WhatsApp.

Terris Web design, SEO and Google Ads

Things you can send me

  • Can you change our opening hours for Chinese New Year?
  • We've got a promo next month. Can you put up a page for it and run Google Ads to it?
  • Why don't we come up when people Google us?
  • The contact form stopped sending. Can you check?
  • Also, our logo looks dated. Do you do branding?

This is probably you if

  • You run a small business or SME in Singapore, and nobody on the team does marketing full-time.
  • Your website, SEO and ads sit with three different people, or with nobody.
  • You've been let down before, by a freelancer who went quiet or an agency that took a week to change a phone number.
  • You'd rather send a WhatsApp than sit through a meeting or fill in a ticket.

One person for all of it

  • Website design
  • SEO
  • Google Ads
  • Branding
  • Updates and fixes
WhatsApp me about your business

I usually reply within a few hours on working days.

Why Choose Terris

Why Businesses Choose TerrisDigital

Agencies assign you a team and a queue. A freelance web designer gives you one dedicated person who takes full ownership of your project, from the first message to long after launch.

How I Work

A typical agency Your brief passes through four people

Working with Terris Read by the person who builds it

Through a typical agency your message goes from you to an account manager, a project manager, a designer and then a developer. Working with Terris it goes straight to the person who designs and builds your site.

  • One person, start to finish

    Whoever answers your first message designs the site, builds it and looks after it once it is live. That is me, every time.

  • Judged on enquiries

    A website earns its keep when people get in touch through it, so enquiries are what I design for and what I measure.

  • Prices you can check

    Every price is published and the quote you get is fixed. You own everything I build for you, with no lock-in contract.

  • Singapore, full-time since 2018

    Eight years of building for Singapore SMEs. I know how people here search, and that plenty of them would rather WhatsApp than fill in a form.

You Work With Terris, Personally

I am a full-time freelance web designer based in Singapore with 8+ years of hands-on experience across web design, front-end and back-end development, SEO, and Google Ads. Since 2018 I have personally designed and built 290+ websites for Singapore businesses across 20+ industries.

When you hire me, you get me, not an account manager, not a junior passed your brief. The same person who scopes your project designs it, builds it, optimises it for search, and supports it after launch. That is the whole point of working with a freelance web designer instead of an agency.

My passion project

Terris Recommends: my passion project reviewing the best local businesses in Singapore

Outside of client work, I have a bit of an obsession: figuring out who genuinely does the best work in Singapore. It started as a hobby, me digging into local businesses for friends and family, and it has grown into Terris Recommends, an ever-growing library of hands-on, personally researched guides.

I research real, operating Singapore businesses, compare them on credentials, pricing, and genuine reviews, then rank the ones I would actually send a friend to. It is a labour of love, and I keep adding to it every month.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Terris a freelance web designer or an agency?
Terris is a full-time freelance web designer in Singapore, not an agency. Every project is handled directly by Terris himself, one experienced web designer who personally designs, builds, and supports your website. You get the one-to-one attention of a freelancer with the reliability of an established Singapore business that has worked full-time on web design since 2018.
How much does a freelance web designer cost in Singapore?
Freelance web design in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 2,500 to SGD 10,000 depending on complexity. My own packages start at SGD 2,500 for up to 10 pages and run to SGD 10,500 for the Premium tier, and there is a fixed SGD 3,500 One Week Website if you need it live in seven days. Because you work with one freelance designer rather than an agency, you save roughly 30 to 50%, no office overhead, no account managers, no project coordinators added to your bill.
Why hire a freelance web designer instead of an agency?
A freelance web designer gives you direct, one-to-one collaboration with the person actually building your site, so feedback is understood instantly, changes happen the same day, and nothing gets lost between account managers and junior staff. You also pay 30 to 50% less than a typical agency for comparable work, and your project moves at the speed of a conversation rather than through internal layers.
Will I work directly with the designer, or with an account manager?
You work directly with Terris on every part of your project, design, development, SEO, and ongoing support. There are no account managers, project coordinators, or handoffs to junior staff. The same person you speak with on day one is the person who builds and maintains your website, always reachable by WhatsApp or email.
How much does a website cost in Singapore?
Website costs vary depending on complexity and features. A professional business website in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 3,000 to SGD 15,000. My own packages start at SGD 2,500 and are fixed-price, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay. Ask me for a free, no-obligation quote.
How long does it take to build a website?
A standard business website takes 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom features, e-commerce, or integrations may take 8 to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation so you always know what to expect.
Do you offer SEO services alongside web design?
Yes, SEO is built into everything we do. Every website we build is optimised for search engines from the ground up, including technical SEO, on-page optimisation, and site speed. We also offer ongoing SEO packages to help you rank higher and drive consistent organic traffic.
How do I get my business to show up on Google in Singapore?
Getting found on Google requires a combination of a well-built website, proper on-page SEO, a claimed and optimised Google Business Profile, and consistent content. We handle all of this, from technical SEO and keyword research to local SEO targeting Singapore-specific searches. Most of our clients see measurable ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. We specialise in website redesigns that modernise your online presence while preserving your existing SEO rankings. We conduct a thorough audit of your current site, identify areas for improvement, and deliver a redesign that looks great and performs even better.
My website is not generating any leads. Can you help?
This is one of the most common problems we solve. A website that does not generate leads usually has issues with design, messaging, page speed, or search visibility. We audit your site to identify exactly what is holding it back, then fix the conversion flow, clearer calls-to-action, faster load times, mobile optimisation, and SEO, so your site starts working as a lead generation tool.
Do you work with small businesses and startups?
Yes, small businesses and startups are at the heart of what we do. We understand the unique challenges SMEs face in Singapore and offer affordable, scalable solutions that grow with your business. From simple brochure sites to full digital marketing campaigns, we have packages for every stage.
Is Google Ads worth it for small businesses in Singapore?
Yes, when managed properly. Google Ads lets you target people actively searching for your services in Singapore, so you only pay for relevant clicks. We set up campaigns with precise keyword targeting, negative keywords, and conversion tracking to maximise your return. Many of our SME clients see a positive ROI within the first month.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
SEO builds long-term organic visibility. You rank on Google without paying per click, but it takes time to see results. Google Ads gives you immediate visibility at the top of search results, but you pay for each click. Most businesses benefit from both: Google Ads for quick wins and leads now, and SEO for sustainable traffic growth over time. We can advise on the right mix for your budget.
Do I need branding before building a website?
Not necessarily. We can help with both. If you already have a logo and brand guidelines, we design your website around them. If you are starting from scratch or feel your branding is outdated, we offer brand identity services including logo design, colour palettes, and typography systems that carry through to your website and all marketing materials.
What do I need to prepare before starting a project?
Not much. We guide you through everything. It helps to have a rough idea of what you want your website to achieve, examples of sites you like, your logo and brand assets if you have them, and any existing content such as text and photos. If you do not have these ready, we can help with copywriting, custom AI-generated imagery, and branding as part of the project.
What if I do not have any photos for my website?
That is normal, especially for a new business or a space that has not opened yet. We generate custom imagery with AI, art-directed to your brand colours and the mood you are going for, so your site does not fall back on the same generic stock photos your competitors are using. This is included in every package. When you have real photography later, we swap it in.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
We provide ongoing maintenance and support including security updates, performance monitoring, content changes, and technical support. Because you work with one dedicated person throughout the entire relationship, there is no need to re-explain your project history to a new contact. The same person who built your website maintains it. Always just a WhatsApp message or email away.
Can you build an e-commerce or online store?
Yes. We build online stores with product catalogues, shopping carts, secure payment gateways, and inventory management. Whether you need a simple storefront with a handful of products or a full e-commerce platform with hundreds of SKUs, we build solutions that are easy for you to manage and optimised for conversions.
Do you manage social media and digital marketing?
Yes. Beyond web design and SEO, we offer full digital marketing services including social media management, content strategy, email marketing, and paid advertising across Google and social platforms. We create cohesive campaigns that drive traffic to your website and convert visitors into customers.
Why choose a freelance web designer like Terris over an agency?
Unlike agencies where your project gets passed between designers, developers, account managers, and junior staff, with Terris you get one dedicated freelance web designer who handles everything from design and development to SEO and ongoing support. Zero miscommunication, faster turnaround, lower cost, and someone who genuinely understands your business inside out. Terris is backed by an established Singapore business, with 290+ completed projects, transparent pricing, and no lock-in contracts, the personal attention of a freelancer with the accountability of a real business.
Will I have a dedicated contact person?
Yes, and this is what sets Terris apart. You work directly with Terris, the founder, on every aspect of your project. He handles design, development, marketing, and ongoing support personally. No account managers, no project coordinators, no handoffs to junior staff. One person owns your project from the first conversation to long after launch.
