FAQ

Freelance Web Designer FAQs

how much does a freelance web designer charge in singapore
Freelance web design rates in Singapore typically range from SGD 2,000 to SGD 10,000 depending on the project complexity. A simple 5-page business website starts around SGD 2,500–4,000, while more complex sites with custom features, ecommerce, or booking systems cost more. TerrisDigital provides transparent, fixed-price quotes so you know exactly what to expect — no hourly billing surprises.
should i hire a freelance web designer or agency singapore
Freelancers typically offer lower prices, faster communication, and more personal attention because you work directly with the person building your site. Agencies provide larger teams and broader services but come with higher costs, slower timelines, and layers of account managers between you and the designer. TerrisDigital combines the best of both — you work directly with senior designers at competitive rates, with the reliability and support of a professional team.
is it cheaper to hire a freelance web designer or an agency
Freelancers are generally 30–50% more affordable than agencies for comparable projects because they have lower overhead — no office rent, large support staff, or account managers to pay for. A freelance-built website that would cost SGD 3,000–5,000 might cost SGD 6,000–10,000 from a traditional agency. The trade-off is that solo freelancers may lack backup support if they become unavailable.
how to find a reliable freelance web designer singapore
Look for a strong portfolio with real client projects in Singapore, verified Google reviews or testimonials, clear communication from the first conversation, and a proper contract with defined deliverables and timelines. Be cautious of designers who cannot show previous work, refuse to provide a written agreement, or quote suspiciously low prices. Checking platforms like Clutch, Google Business, and LinkedIn recommendations helps verify credibility.
what if my freelance web designer disappears mid project
This is one of the biggest risks of hiring a solo freelancer and unfortunately happens more often than people expect. Protect yourself by signing a contract with milestone-based payments, never paying 100% upfront, ensuring you have access to your hosting and domain, and choosing a designer with a verifiable business presence. TerrisDigital is a registered Singapore business with a track record of completed projects and ongoing client support.
how long does a freelance web designer take to build a website
A simple business website typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom features, multiple pages, or ecommerce functionality may take 4 to 8 weeks. Timelines depend on how quickly content and feedback are provided — delays in receiving text, images, or approvals from the client are the most common reason projects run over schedule.
freelance web designer vs website builder like wix
Website builders like Wix and Squarespace let you create a basic site yourself for SGD 20–50 per month, but the results often look template-based, have limited SEO capabilities, and lock you into their platform. A freelance designer creates a custom site that is uniquely yours, properly optimised for Google, and built on open platforms you fully own. For businesses serious about their online presence, a custom site delivers significantly better results.
do freelance web designers provide hosting and maintenance
Some do and some do not — it varies widely. Many solo freelancers only handle the initial design and hand over the site, leaving you to find hosting and manage updates yourself. TerrisDigital offers ongoing hosting and maintenance packages that include security updates, backups, performance monitoring, and content changes, so you do not need to worry about the technical side after launch.
will i own the website after a freelancer builds it
You should always own the website, domain, and all content — make sure this is clearly stated in your contract before work begins. Some designers use proprietary builders or keep hosting access to themselves, which effectively locks you in. TerrisDigital builds on open platforms like WordPress and ensures you have full ownership and access from day one, with no lock-in of any kind.
can a freelance web designer also do seo
Most freelance web designers handle basic on-page SEO like meta titles, headings, and clean URLs, but few offer comprehensive SEO strategy, keyword research, content optimisation, and link building. If you need your website to rank on Google and generate organic traffic, look for a designer who also offers dedicated SEO services. TerrisDigital includes foundational on-page SEO in every project and offers full SEO packages for businesses that want to grow their search visibility.
what should i prepare before hiring a freelance web designer
Having these ready speeds up the process: your logo and brand colours, examples of 2–3 websites you like, a rough idea of what pages you need, your text content and product photos if available, and access to your domain and hosting if you already have them. If you do not have content or a logo ready, most experienced designers can help with copywriting and branding as part of the project.
do freelance web designers in singapore work with overseas clients
Most Singapore-based freelance web designers work with clients regionally and internationally since all communication and collaboration happens online. At TerrisDigital, while the majority of our clients are Singapore SMEs and startups, we work with businesses across Southeast Asia and beyond. Video calls, shared project boards, and cloud-based tools make remote collaboration seamless regardless of location.
