Professional Web Design Services in Singapore

Website design in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 2,500 for a simple business site to SGD 5,000–15,000+ for complex builds with custom functionality, e-commerce, or integrations. The final cost depends on number of pages, design complexity, and features like booking systems or payment gateways.

Most business websites take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch, covering discovery, wireframing, visual design, development, and testing. E-commerce sites or web applications with custom features may take 8 to 12 weeks. The biggest factor affecting timelines is usually how quickly content and feedback are provided by the client.

The best web design agency for an SME understands budget constraints while still delivering a site that drives real business results. Look for agencies that offer transparent pricing, a proven portfolio with Singapore businesses, and post-launch support. TerrisDigital works extensively with SMEs across Singapore and builds conversion-focused websites that are designed to generate leads and sales, not just look pretty.

Focus on four things: a strong portfolio with results (not just visuals), transparent pricing with no hidden fees, in-house development capabilities so your project is not outsourced, and ongoing support after launch. Ask to see case studies, check Google reviews, and make sure they build SEO-friendly, mobile-responsive sites as standard.

Templates work for personal blogs or hobby sites, but Singapore businesses competing for customers generally benefit from custom design. A custom website loads faster, ranks better on Google, and is tailored to your brand and conversion goals. TerrisDigital builds every site from scratch based on your specific business needs, which means no cookie-cutter layouts that look like your competitors.

WordPress is a solid choice if you need a content-heavy site like a blog or news portal, and you want easy self-management through a familiar CMS. Custom-coded websites offer better performance, security, and flexibility for businesses that need speed and scalability. The right choice depends on your budget, technical comfort level, and long-term goals — many agencies including TerrisDigital can advise on the best approach during a free consultation.

For most Singapore businesses, a responsive website should come first. It reaches all users regardless of device, costs significantly less than app development, and does not require users to download anything. A mobile app makes sense only if you need features like push notifications, offline access, or heavy device integration. Start with a fast, responsive website and consider an app later once you have an established user base.

Start by auditing your current site for performance issues, outdated design, and SEO gaps. A professional redesign involves refreshing the visual design, improving site speed, restructuring content for better conversions, and ensuring mobile responsiveness. TerrisDigital handles full website redesigns and carefully migrates existing content while preserving your Google rankings during the transition.

Absolutely. Google considers page speed, mobile-friendliness, site structure, and user experience as ranking factors, all of which are determined by how your website is designed and built. A poorly designed site with slow load times and confusing navigation will struggle to rank regardless of how much SEO work you do. Every site TerrisDigital builds includes technical SEO foundations like schema markup, optimised images, clean URLs, and proper heading structures.

Website maintenance in Singapore typically costs SGD 50–300 per month depending on the scope. Basic plans cover hosting, SSL, backups, and security updates, while premium plans include content changes, performance monitoring, and priority support. Investing in maintenance protects your site from security vulnerabilities and ensures it continues to perform well on Google.

Yes — a well-designed website is one of the highest-ROI marketing investments a business can make. Strategic placement of calls-to-action, WhatsApp buttons, trust signals, and enquiry forms can dramatically increase conversion rates. TerrisDigital designs every website with lead generation in mind, and we set up analytics and conversion tracking so you can measure exactly how many enquiries your site generates.

Web design focuses on the visual layout, user experience, branding, and overall look and feel of a website. Web development is the coding and technical implementation that brings the design to life. Most professional agencies handle both in-house, which ensures the final product matches the original design perfectly and functions without bugs across all devices and browsers.

DIY builders like Wix or Squarespace are fine for personal projects, but they come with significant trade-offs for businesses — slower loading speeds, limited customisation, weaker SEO, and generic designs. A professionally built website is custom-tailored to your brand, loads faster, ranks better on Google, and is specifically designed to convert visitors into paying customers. For Singapore businesses serious about growth, professional web design pays for itself through increased leads and sales.

WordPress powers roughly 40% of websites globally and remains the most popular CMS for small businesses due to its flexibility and ease of use. Headless CMS options like Strapi or Contentful are gaining popularity for businesses wanting better performance and security. TerrisDigital recommends the right CMS based on your specific needs — whether that is WordPress for content-heavy sites or a modern static approach for maximum speed and reliability.

Key factors include optimising images to modern formats like WebP, minimising code and scripts, using a content delivery network (CDN) with Singapore edge servers, enabling browser caching, and choosing fast hosting. Google recommends a Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) under 2.5 seconds. If your current site is slow, a performance audit can identify the specific bottlenecks holding it back.
