Find me on

Hi, I'm Terris. I'm a web designer in Singapore, full-time since 2018, and I write, design and build every site myself.

Get web design in Singapore that turns visitors into enquiries

Every site comes with the copy, custom images and SEO setup done for you, and is planned around what makes your customers get in touch. You message me directly from the first brief to launch, and you see the site working on your own phone before anything goes live.

What every website includes

Every website I build, from Starter up, comes with the copy, custom images, a design made for phones first, on-page SEO with Analytics and Search Console, and buttons that send enquiries straight to you. You own the site and everything I make for it.

  • The words on every page

    I write the copy myself, from what you tell me about the business and from 8 years of seeing what makes visitors enquire. You never start from a blank page.

  • Custom images

    I make them with AI, art-directed to your brand colours, so you aren't using the same stock photos as your competitors. When you have real photos later, I swap them in.

  • A design made for your business

    Every page is designed from scratch, for phones first and then desktop. You won't get a template with your logo dropped in.

  • SEO set up before launch

    I write the page titles, descriptions and headings for search, add business schema so Google and AI search tools can read the site, and connect Google Analytics and Search Console. Growth adds full schema markup and keyword research.

  • Buttons that bring enquiries

    I add a WhatsApp button, a contact form, Google Maps and click to call, placed where people are ready to ask.

  • Revisions and support

    You get three rounds of design changes on Starter, ten rounds on Growth and unlimited changes on Premium. After launch, Starter has 14 days of bug fixes, Growth 30 days of support and Premium 60 days.

  • It's yours

    You own the site, the copy and the images, and there's no lock-in contract. If you ever move to someone else, they can pick it up from where I left it.

Who it suits, and how it compares with an agency

At a web design agency in Singapore, your brief usually passes from an account manager to a copywriter, a designer and a developer. With me, the person who reads your WhatsApp is the one who writes the pages, designs them and builds the site, so a change is one message and nothing gets lost on the way.

Who I build websites for

  • Your first proper website

    You're a new business, or you've run on word of mouth and a Facebook page until now.

  • A redesign

    Your site looks dated, loads slowly or has stopped bringing in enquiries. I keep the pages that rank, so Google follows you to the new site.

  • Leaving an agency

    You were handed to a junior, waited days for a reply or found costs you hadn't agreed to. With me you deal with the same person from the first message to launch day.

How your website gets built, from first message to launch

A Starter website takes 2 to 3 weeks from the day you pay the first half, Growth takes 3 to 5 weeks and Premium 5 to 8 weeks. You see the site working in your own browser before anything goes live, and nothing launches until you approve it.

  1. You message me

    Tell me what the business does and what the site needs to do. I reply with a fixed price and a list of what it covers.

  2. Half to start, then the plan

    Once the first half is paid, I plan the pages around what your customers need to know, using what 290+ projects have taught me about where people decide to get in touch. You approve the plan before I write a word.

  3. Words and design

    I write every page and design it from scratch, with images made for your brand. You review it on a working preview site, on your own phone.

  4. Build and launch

    I build it, connect Analytics and Search Console and add the WhatsApp button. When you approve the finished site, you pay the second half and it goes live.

  5. After launch

    I fix any bugs during the warranty. After that, the website partner retainer keeps growing it, with hosting and upkeep included, and you message me when something needs changing.

How long some recent builds took

Lava Floor 18 1 week
UC Fresh Air 133 6 weeks
MET Interior 176 6 weeks
A.W. Law LLC 325 8 weeks

UC Fresh Air, MET Interior and A.W. Law were far bigger than any package, so each was quoted on its own. The page counts and times come from each case study.

What web design costs, package by package

My websites start at SGD 2,535 for Starter, with up to 10 pages. Premium, from SGD 10,620, adds a shop or bookings with payments. Growth, from SGD 7,585, is the popular one in between, with a CMS you can edit yourself and a blog. Every price is fixed before I start.

After launch, the website partner retainer at SGD 3,045 a month grows the site: Google Ads, SEO and new landing pages from 20 hours a month, with hosting and upkeep included. Extra pages, past your package or added later, are SGD 350 each.

For comparison, most business websites in Singapore cost between SGD 3,000 and SGD 15,000, depending on how many pages and features they need.

A custom website, a website builder or a PSG package

A custom website costs more upfront than a website builder, but it's designed for your business, you own it outright, and the SEO is set up for you. A builder like Wix or Squarespace suits a side project you're happy to run yourself. A PSG package lowers the upfront cost, but you pick from a pre-approved vendor's templates and pay in full before claiming the grant back.

Questions people ask about web design

How much does web design cost in Singapore?

Most business websites in Singapore cost between SGD 3,000 and SGD 15,000, depending on how many pages and features they need. With me, Starter is from SGD 2,535 for up to 10 pages, Growth from SGD 7,585 and Premium from SGD 10,620 with a shop or bookings. The price is fixed before I start, and you pay half then and half when you approve the finished site.

How long does it take to build a website?

A Starter website takes 2 to 3 weeks, Growth 3 to 5 weeks and Premium 5 to 8 weeks, counted from the day you pay the first half. If you need it sooner, the One Week Website goes live in 7 days. What slows most builds down is waiting on content and feedback, which is one reason I write the copy myself.

Should I hire a web design agency or a freelancer in Singapore?

Hire one designer when you want to deal with the person doing the work, and an agency when the job needs several specialists at once, like a large app with a team behind it. With me, your feedback goes straight into the design, a change is one message, and the person who built the site can do its SEO and Google Ads afterwards.

What should I look for in a web design company in Singapore?

Look for published prices, a portfolio with businesses like yours, a straight answer on who does the work, and support after launch. Ask who you'll message once the site is live and who owns it if you leave. My prices are on this page and my work is in the portfolio. You'll message me, and you own the site.

Do I need a custom website, or will a template do?

A template is fine for a hobby site or a business that's still testing an idea. A business competing for customers on Google usually needs a custom website, with pages built around what its customers search for and enquiry buttons where people decide. Every site I build is designed from scratch, so it won't look like your competitor's.

Should my website be on WordPress or custom-built?

Go with WordPress or another CMS if you'll edit pages and publish articles yourself, and a custom-built static site if the content rarely changes, because it loads faster and has less to update. Growth, from SGD 7,585, includes a WordPress or headless CMS you can edit yourself. I'll recommend one when I quote, based on how you'll use the site.

Can I use the PSG grant for website design in Singapore?

The Productivity Solutions Grant pays up to 50% of the cost of a pre-approved digital package for eligible SMEs, bought from a pre-approved vendor, and most website packages on it are template sites. You pay the vendor in full first and claim the grant back afterwards. My websites are custom and aren't PSG packages, though Starter at SGD 2,535 is close to what many PSG packages cost after the grant.

Is Wix or another website builder good enough for a business?

Wix, Squarespace and AI website builders are good enough for a personal site or a business you're still testing. You pay a monthly fee for as long as the site is up, the templates are shared with many other sites, and the site stays on their platform. A custom website costs more upfront, but you own it and the SEO is set up properly from the start.

Can you redesign my website without losing my Google rankings?

Yes, when the redesign is planned for it. Before I change anything, I list the pages that bring in traffic, keep the addresses that rank, and redirect any that have to move so Google follows them to the new site. Rankings can wobble for a few weeks after any relaunch, so I watch Search Console once the new site is live.

Does web design affect SEO?

Yes. How a site is designed and built decides how fast it loads, how well it works on a phone and whether Google can read its headings and structure, and all of that affects rankings. That's why I set up the SEO in the build itself, before launch, instead of bolting it on afterwards.

What if I don't have photos or copy for my website?

That's normal, especially for a new business. I write the copy for every page, and I make custom images with AI, art-directed to your brand colours, so you aren't using the same stock photos as your competitors. It's included in every package. When you have real photos later, I swap them in.

Do you use AI to build websites?

Yes. AI is one of my tools, and it's how I make the custom images. The decisions come from 8 years of building websites full-time and 290+ projects with real clients. I plan the pages, write the copy, design and build the site, and check every page myself before it goes live.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Upkeep alone starts at SGD 550 a month on a content retainer: CMS and plugin updates, security, daily backups and five hours of changes. For a site I built, the website partner retainer at SGD 3,045 a month goes further and grows it, with Google Ads, SEO and new landing pages, and the upkeep included. You don't need either to keep the site, and there's no lock-in.

Do I own my website when it's done?

Yes. You own the site and everything I make for it, including the copy and the images, and there's no lock-in contract. If you ever move to another developer, they can pick it up from where I left it.

Can you build an online shop or a booking system?

Yes. Premium, from SGD 10,620, adds a shop or bookings with online payments, plus a second language. A shop can also be added to Starter or Growth, from SGD 3,540. If you need logins, dashboards or a system of your own, that's a custom web app, from SGD 12,140.

What's the difference between web design and web development?

Web design is how a site looks, reads and leads a visitor to get in touch. Web development is the code that makes it work. At an agency those are usually two different people. I do both, so the site that goes live is the one you approved in the design.
