Here is a number that still surprises Singapore business owners in 2026: a freelance web designer in Singapore typically charges $1,500 to $8,000 for a complete business website. An agency doing roughly the same work? $8,000 to $30,000. That pricing gap is why more SMEs than ever are going directly to freelancers; and why this list exists.
But finding a genuinely good freelance web designer in Singapore is harder than it should be. Fiverr is a lottery. Google results are cluttered with agencies disguised as freelancers. And the friend-of-a-friend who "knows WordPress" is rarely the right fit for a business that needs to generate leads, not just exist online.
We published the first version of this list in early 2026. This is the updated edition, refreshed with new research, verified pricing, and a few new names that have earned their spot. Every designer here has a real portfolio, verifiable client work, and a clear speciality. Whether you need a simple brochure site, a full e-commerce build, or a performance-driven lead generation machine, there is someone on this list who fits.
Why hire a freelance web designer in Singapore?
Before we get into the rankings, let us address the obvious question: why freelance over an agency?
Three reasons keep coming up in conversations with our clients:
- Cost. Freelancers do not carry the overhead of office leases, account managers, and project coordinators. That saving gets passed to you. A well-designed 5-page business website that costs $12,000 at an agency might cost $3,000–$5,000 with a skilled freelancer.
- Direct communication. No game of telephone. You talk to the person designing your site, not an account manager who relays your feedback (sometimes accurately, sometimes not).
- Speed. Without layers of internal approvals, freelancers often deliver faster. We have completed full business websites in as little as 2 weeks when the client has their content ready.
The trade-off? You need to vet them properly. An agency has brand reputation on the line. A freelancer has their portfolio. Check both before you commit; and keep reading for our recommended picks.
How we evaluated
We assessed each freelance web designer on five criteria: portfolio quality and recency, client results (traffic, leads, revenue where available), pricing transparency, technical approach (page speed, mobile responsiveness, SEO foundations), and communication responsiveness. We also checked that every designer on this list is still actively taking projects in 2026.
1. TerrisDigital: best for results-driven SME websites
Yes, we are putting ourselves first. We are transparent about it, and we are going to tell you exactly why we think we have earned the spot.
Most freelance web designers will build you a nice-looking site. We build websites that actually bring in business. Every project starts with a strategy conversation, not a mood board. What keywords are your customers searching? Where are you losing leads? What does your competitor's site do better than yours? We answer those questions before we touch a single pixel.
The results back it up. When we redesigned Perfect Style Salon's website, their online enquiries jumped 180% and organic traffic surged by 250% within three months. Arcade Rental went from invisible on Google to ranking #1 for their primary keyword, with a 300% increase in organic traffic. And for Kingsman & Associates, we delivered a premium corporate site in just 2 weeks — dark theme, gold accents, the works — giving a new firm an established online presence from day one.
We combine web design, development, and SEO into a single package because a beautiful website that nobody finds is a waste of money. Every site we deliver is built on modern frameworks like Astro or Next.js for blazing speed, styled with clean code (not bloated page builders), and optimised for Google from day one.
Website: terris.sg
Best for: Singapore SMEs who want a website that generates leads, not just looks good.
Pricing: From SGD 2,500 for business websites; custom quotes for larger projects.
Standout result: 180% more enquiries for Perfect Style Salon, #1 Google ranking for Arcade Rental, 2-week premium launch for Kingsman.
2. Subraa: best for affordable WordPress sites
Subraa is one of the most established freelance web designers in Singapore, with over 14 years in the business and more than 600 clients served. If you need a clean, functional WordPress website without a large upfront investment, he is a reliable choice.
His speciality is WordPress and Elementor; he knows the platform inside out and can turn around projects quickly. His portfolio spans restaurants, clinics, tuition centres, professional services, and e-commerce stores. The designs are clean and professional, though they tend towards template-based layouts rather than fully custom builds. For businesses that need to get online fast without fussing over bespoke design, that is actually a strength: it keeps costs down and delivery times short.
Where Subraa really shines is accessibility. His pricing starts lower than most freelancers in Singapore, and he bundles in freebies that matter: a free domain for the first year, hosting, and a business email address. He also offers logo design, branding, and basic SEO as add-on services, which makes him a convenient one-stop shop for startups getting their digital foundations in place.
Website: subraa.com
Best for: Small businesses and startups needing an affordable WordPress website quickly.
Pricing: From SGD 500 for basic websites; most business sites fall in the SGD 1,500–3,000 range.
Standout strength: 14+ years of experience, 600+ clients served, fast turnaround on WordPress builds.
3. Calvin Seng: best for corporate and app projects
Calvin Seng has been building websites and mobile apps since 2008, making him one of Singapore's longest-serving freelance web designers. His client list includes names like Oppo, Midea, and ST Engineering: credentials you do not see on a typical freelancer's portfolio.
His strength is corporate-grade work at competitive pricing. If your business needs a website that communicates authority and professionalism: law firms, consultancies, B2B companies. Calvin's portfolio shows that he understands how to translate brand identity into polished digital experiences. He also builds mobile apps and progressive web apps, which sets him apart from designers who only work in WordPress.
His packages start from SGD 699, which is remarkably competitive for the quality on offer. He also handles e-commerce builds that qualify for the PSG Grant, potentially covering up to 50% of the project cost: a significant advantage for eligible businesses. With a 4.8-star rating on Google from 59+ reviews, client satisfaction is well-documented.
Website: calvinseng.com
Best for: Corporate, B2B, and app-focused projects with brand-aligned design.
Pricing: From SGD 699; e-commerce packages up to SGD 10,599 (PSG Grant eligible).
Standout strength: 16+ years in business, corporate clients including Oppo, Midea, and ST Engineering.

4. Zach: best for SEO-ready custom WordPress sites
Zach runs a focused freelance practice under freelancewebdesignersingapore.com (yes, the domain itself is an SEO play; and it works). His approach is custom WordPress websites with SEO baked in from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought.
With 8 years of combined experience in graphic and web design across both in-house roles and agency environments, Zach brings a structured process to freelance work. His packages are transparent and clearly tiered: a Starter package at SGD 450 for a single custom page, a Professional package at SGD 950 for up to 5 pages with speed optimisation, and an Enterprise package at SGD 2,000 for up to 10 pages with schema markup included.
Every package includes one year of free domain, hosting, and SSL: plus security header configuration that most designers do not think about. He also handles page speed optimisation, Google Analytics setup, and Search Console integration as standard. For business owners who have been burned by vague scopes and hidden charges, that level of transparency goes a long way.
Website: freelancewebdesignersingapore.com
Best for: Businesses wanting SEO-optimised WordPress sites with transparent, fixed pricing.
Pricing: SGD 450–2,000 for packages; add-ons from SGD 100–300/month for maintenance.
Standout strength: All-inclusive packages with free domain, hosting, SSL, and security headers for the first year.
5. Felore: best for e-commerce and small business sites
Felore is a Singapore-based freelance web designer who has built a strong reputation for e-commerce and small business websites. His portfolio includes work for brands like Eunice Olsen Media, Emperor Entertainment, Frouses, Musicark Instruments, and Wild Peonies: a diverse mix that shows adaptability across industries.
What clients consistently praise about Felore is his honesty and communication. Multiple testimonials highlight that he listens carefully, offers candid advice when ideas could be improved, and provides patient post-launch support. One client noted that he openly tells you what your website actually needs rather than upselling unnecessary features: a refreshing approach in an industry where scope creep is the norm.
He works primarily with WordPress, WooCommerce, Prestashop, and Shopify, which makes him a versatile choice for e-commerce builds across different platforms. His pricing starts from SGD 1,600 for an 8-page website, positioning him in the mid-range, affordable enough for small businesses but not so cheap that you worry about quality. He also offers logo design, banner design, and ongoing maintenance.
Website: iamfelore.com
Best for: E-commerce stores and small businesses wanting honest, hands-on support.
Pricing: From SGD 1,600 for 8-page websites; e-commerce builds quoted on scope.
Standout strength: Strong client retention and repeat business driven by transparent communication.
6. JIN Design (Yugene Lee): best for clean, user-focused design
Yugene Lee runs JIN Design (along with TheVisual.Team and Oats), and has been building websites since 2012, with 30+ sites to his name. JIN Design has carved out a niche for design that balances aesthetics with usability: form and function in equal measure.
The studio is particularly strong with service-based businesses: consultancies, healthcare providers, and education companies. Their designs do not try to be flashy. Instead, they focus on clear messaging, intuitive navigation, and strong calls-to-action: the elements that actually convert visitors into customers. They also offer WordPress, Webflow, and WooCommerce development, giving clients flexibility in their platform choice.
JIN Design offers UI/UX consultation alongside web builds, which makes them a good fit if you have an existing site that is underperforming and need someone to diagnose why before committing to a full redesign. They also handle PageSpeed optimisation and ongoing website maintenance, so they can keep your site performing well after launch.
Website: jin-design.com
Best for: Service businesses wanting clean, conversion-focused design with UX expertise.
Pricing: From SGD 1,800; custom quotes for larger projects.
Standout strength: 12+ years of experience, strong UX/UI focus with a research-backed design process.
Other freelance web designers worth considering
The six designers above are our top picks for 2026, but Singapore has a deeper bench of freelance talent. Here are four more worth looking at depending on your specific needs:
- Dean Loh (deanloh.com): A WordPress specialist and self-described "website Alfred" with 18+ years of experience. Dean combines web design with PPC services and focuses on ROI rather than just aesthetics. His client list spans industries from travel to engineering, and his Google reviews praise his patient, consultative approach. He also offers WordPress security services and malware removal: useful if your current site has been compromised. Best for businesses wanting a long-term web partner who handles everything from design to maintenance.
- Bobby at Rezult (rezult.co): A small studio with over 8 years of experience, specialising in WordPress and Elementor builds for SMEs and entrepreneurs. Bobby rebuilt AbsoluteCostumez's WooCommerce site from DIVI to Elementor, improving UX significantly. They emphasise transparent collaboration and are a solid mid-range option. Best for SMEs wanting a collaborative, hands-on design partner.
- Amalina Zakaria (amalina-zakaria.com): A web designer and front-end developer with 13 years of experience, co-founder of boutique agency Hello Pomelo Creatives. Her client list includes NUS, SUTD, and Esplanade: institutional-grade work. She splits her time between Singapore and Sydney, offering a broader design perspective. Best for businesses with complex requirements or those wanting a designer with institutional project experience.
- Serene Soh (singaporefreelancedesigner.com): A UI/UX-focused freelancer who designs website interfaces, mobile apps, and logos. Her process is structured: three initial mockups, five revision rounds, with a three-week typical timeline. Clients praise her creativity and willingness to go the extra mile. Best for businesses wanting a design-first approach with strong visual identity work.
How to choose the right freelance web designer in Singapore
Having options is useful. But how do you actually decide? Here is the checklist we recommend to every business owner looking to hire:
- Check their portfolio for YOUR industry. A designer who has built 50 restaurant websites might not be the right fit for a B2B consultancy. Look for projects similar to yours in scope and style.
- Ask about SEO. If a designer does not mention page speed, mobile responsiveness, or search engine optimisation unprompted, that is a red flag. Your website needs to be found, not just admired. Read our guide on choosing a web design partner to understand what to look for.
- Test their communication. Send an enquiry. How fast do they respond? Is the reply generic or tailored to your question? The way they handle pre-sales communication is exactly how they will handle your project.
- Clarify what is included. Does the price cover hosting setup? Content writing? Basic SEO? Post-launch support? Get this in writing. Scope creep is the number one source of freelancer-client friction.
- Look at mobile performance. Open their portfolio sites on your phone. Do they load fast? Is the text readable without zooming? Is the navigation usable with your thumb? If their own client sites do not pass this test, walk away.
Also consider whether you need a full website redesign or just targeted improvements. Sometimes a focused conversion optimisation project delivers better ROI than starting from scratch. Our 2026 web design trends guide can help you identify which modern features are worth investing in.
What to expect to pay for freelance web design in Singapore
Pricing varies widely, and the cheapest option is almost never the best value. Here is what the Singapore market looks like in 2026:
- Simple landing page (1–3 pages): SGD 500–2,000
- Business website (5–10 pages): SGD 2,000–6,000
- E-commerce store: SGD 3,000–15,000
- Custom web application: SGD 8,000–25,000+
What drives the price up? Custom design (versus templates), number of pages, e-commerce functionality, integrations with third-party tools, content creation, and ongoing SEO work.
A word of caution: if someone quotes you SGD 300 for a "complete business website," you are getting a template with your logo swapped in. It will look like every other SGD 300 website; because it is. For a site that actually represents your business and converts visitors, budget at least SGD 2,000–3,000.
For a deeper breakdown of what drives web design costs, read our complete guide to website costs in Singapore. And if you are eligible, the PSG Grant can offset up to 50% of qualifying e-commerce website costs, worth checking before you commit to any quote. Read our PSG vs custom website comparison for an honest breakdown of when the grant is worth it and when it isn't.
Singapore's freelance web design scene is competitive, diverse, and (for business owners willing to do their homework) excellent value. Whether you need an affordable WordPress site, a corporate-grade rebrand, or a performance-optimised website built to generate leads, there is a freelance web designer in Singapore on this list who fits your needs and budget.
Our recommendation? Do not choose based on price alone. Look at results. Ask to see analytics from past projects, not just screenshots. A website that costs SGD 4,000 but generates 50 enquiries a month is infinitely better value than a SGD 1,000 site that sits there collecting dust.
If you are ready to build a website that actually works for your business, explore our web design service or reach out for a free consultation. We will give you an honest assessment of what you need, even if the answer is "you do not need us."
