I build websites for Singapore businesses, then market them
I've worked full-time on websites since 2018, and I'm past 290+ projects. I write the pages of each site, design them and build them, then do the SEO and run the Google Ads once it's live. You can see the work on my portfolio, and more about how I work on my main about page.
This blog is where I write down what I'd tell a client: what a website or an ad campaign costs in Singapore, how to plan it, and what to watch out for. It's 159 articles so far.
Terris Recommends started the same way. Friends and clients kept asking me who they should use for a plumber, an aesthetic clinic, a confinement nanny or a repair shop, so I started writing the shortlists down and keeping them current.
Some of the websites I've built
Seven Singapore businesses I've designed and built websites for, from a one-week launch to a 325-page law firm site.

How the guides are made
Tell me when a guide is out of date
If a price has moved, a business has closed, or you run a Singapore business that belongs on a list, tell me. I'd rather fix a guide than leave you with the wrong information.

It goes to my phone and I answer it myself. If you'd rather write it down, there's a quote form.
