How much does a website cost in Singapore?
Mid-tier agencies here quote SGD 5,000 to 25,000 for a custom small business site, small agencies SGD 3,000 to 12,000, and template shops advertise under SGD 1,000. My own range is SGD 2,500 to 10,500 depending on page count and whether you are selling or taking bookings, with a fixed SGD 3,500 option that goes live in seven days. I sit under agency rates without sitting at the bottom of the market, because there is no account manager, no project coordinator and no office in the number, but there is still a senior designer doing the work.
Why is there a SGD 3,500 fixed site and a SGD 7,500 one?
Speed versus control. The One Week Website is a fixed scope built in seven days, with up to 20 pages, and you cannot edit it yourself afterwards. Growth takes three to five weeks and buys you a CMS you can log into and change, a blog with categories, keyword research and a Google Business profile. If you will never touch the site yourself, the cheaper one is genuinely the better buy and I will say so.
What is not included in the price?
Hosting, domain and any paid plugin licences stay on your own account, typically SGD 10 to 30 a month. Ad budget is paid to Google directly. Paid placements, stock photography and print work are quoted separately. Everything else that makes the site work, including copywriting and custom imagery, is in the number on the card.
Is custom photography included, or do I need to supply photos?
Custom imagery is generated with AI and art directed to your brand colours and mood, and it is included in every package. Most new businesses have no usable photography and stock libraries make every competitor look identical. When you later have real photos, they replace the generated set.
How much does SEO cost in Singapore and when does it pay back?
From SGD 2,500 a month, month to month. Singapore agencies run SGD 1,200 to 2,000 for a starter retainer and SGD 2,500 to 4,500 for the tier that actually moves competitive terms, which is the one I am pricing at its floor. It buys roughly 22 hours: one intent page and one article, or three articles, plus technical work, schema, listings upkeep, the AI prompt set re-run and a report. Expect movement on long-tail terms in two to three months and on competitive head terms in six or more. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is either targeting terms nobody searches or lying.
Do you charge a percentage of my ad spend?
Only above SGD 10,000 a month. Below that it is a flat SGD 2,500 a month covering both your website and your Google Ads, so the fee does not quietly grow every time you scale your budget. Most agencies here take 15 to 20 per cent of spend or SGD 1,500 to 5,000 flat, and neither of those builds you the site the ads point at. Above SGD 10,000 it becomes 20 per cent of spend. Your ad budget is always paid straight to Google and never routed through me.
My budget is lower than your prices. Is there any point asking?
Yes. Tell me the number. I would rather quote a smaller first phase that fits your budget than lose the job over a figure, and most projects split cleanly into something that goes live now and something that follows. What I will not do is quote the full scope at a lower price and then cut corners you did not agree to.
Do you work with clients outside Singapore?
Yes, and the numerals are the same, charged in USD rather than SGD. Overseas projects run on PayPal or bank transfer, still half upfront and half on sign-off. The 3D story pages have a dedicated US page with the USD figures on it.
Can I see what I would actually pay before contacting you?
That is what this page is for, and the free quote tool goes further: answer a few questions about your project and it gives you a range with the assumptions it used, before any conversation.
