What a website actually costs in Singapore.
Published prices, not "contact us for a quote". Below: what agencies charge, what freelancers charge, what the ongoing costs really are, where the hidden fees hide, and what I charge — $600 for five pages.
The Singapore market, honestly
These are the ranges you will run into when you shop around in Singapore. They move with scope and with how much of your budget a salesperson thinks you have, but the shape is consistent.
| Who builds it | 5-page site | E-commerce | Timeline | What you're really paying for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full-service agency | $3,000 – $10,000 | $8,000 – $30,000 | 6 – 12 weeks | Team, office, account manager, project manager |
| Small studio | $1,500 – $5,000 | $5,000 – $20,000 | 4 – 8 weeks | Two to five people, one of whom builds |
| Freelancer | $500 – $2,000 | $2,000 – $8,000 | 2 – 6 weeks | One person — quality varies enormously |
| Template / DIY builder | $0 – $600 | $400 – $1,500 | Your weekends | Software, plus every hour you spend |
| Fair Price Web Design | $600 | from $1,500 | 7 – 10 days | The building. Nothing else. |
Agency, studio and freelancer figures are indicative market ranges gathered from public Singapore pricing pages and quotes clients have shown me. Treat them as a sense of scale, not a survey.

Payment terms
Half up front, half when you are happy with it. PayNow or bank transfer. I do not invoice by the hour, so a slow week of mine is not your problem.
The ongoing costs nobody puts on the quote
The build is a one-off. These are the numbers that repeat, and the ones that surprise people twelve months later.
| Item | Typical cost | With me | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain name (.com) | $20 – $30 | At cost | Registered in your name, never mine |
| Domain name (.com.sg / .sg) | $60 – $100 | At cost | Needs a local presence or ACRA registration |
| Hosting | $120 – $600 | $240 (yr 1 free) | Includes SSL, backups, updates |
| SSL certificate | $0 – $200 | Included | Some hosts still charge for what is free |
| Platform / plugin licences | $150 – $900 | $0 | Custom code has nothing to licence |
| Small content edits | $80 – $150/hr | $0 | You get access to change your own words |
| Payment processing | ~3.4% + $0.50 | Same | Charged by Stripe, not by me. PayNow is far cheaper |
Where the hidden fees usually hide
- "Content not included." The quote covers design and build; the words are yours to write, or $150 a page. Half-finished sites die here.
- Revision caps you find out about later. One round included, $200 for the next. Ask for the number in writing before you sign.
- The domain registered under the agency's account. Leaving suddenly gets expensive. Your domain should be in your name from day one.
- Mandatory maintenance retainers of $200–$500 a month attached to a site that changes twice a year.
- "SEO package" upsells sold before the site is even indexed.
- Stock photo licences billed on top after the fact.
So why is $600 possible?
Because of what is not in it. No office in the CBD. No account manager to relay your message to the designer. No sales commission. No project coordinator keeping a Gantt chart of one person's week. Those roles are real work at an agency, and they are a large share of any agency invoice — but none of them touch your website.
The honest trade-off: you get one person, so I am not building five sites at once and there is no team to absorb it if I am ill. That is the deal. Most small Singapore businesses find it a good one.
What about the PSG grant?
The Productivity Solutions Grant subsidises digital packages, but only through pre-approved vendors on the GoBusiness list. I am not one, so my work is not claimable. Before you decide that settles it, do the arithmetic — because a grant does not make a website cheaper. It makes an expensive one feel cheaper.
| Route | Sticker price | Grant support | Out of your pocket | Paperwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSG package, typical | $4,000 | 50% | $2,000 | Application, approval, claim, reporting |
| PSG package, larger | $8,000 | 50% | $4,000 | Same, plus a longer wait |
| Business plan, here | $988 | None | $988 | None. Start this week. |
Support levels and caps change — check the current figures on the GoBusiness site. The point is the last two columns, not the first.
Here is the question worth asking, and I would ask it of me too: "What does this same package cost without the grant?" Put it to any vendor you are considering. The answer is the interesting part, and you are entitled to it before you sign anything.
The reason it is worth asking is not conspiracy, it is incentives. When a package is designed around a subsidy, it tends to get priced against the ceiling of the subsidy rather than against the work involved. That is not unique to Singapore and it is not illegal — it is simply what happens when the buyer is only feeling half the price. You are still paying the other half, and you are paying it in real money.
You also pay in time. The application, the approval wait, the claim afterwards, and the fact that you can only choose from the approved list rather than from whoever is actually best for your job.
When PSG genuinely is the better answer
I would rather you used it than used me, if you need the whole digital package — POS tied to inventory, accounting integration, a proper CRM, staff systems. That is real software with real licence costs, the grant is designed for exactly that, and a $988 website does not replace it.
But if what you actually need is a website, compare the out-of-pocket numbers above and decide with your own money in view.
Which plan for which business
- $600 Starter — a service business that needs to look real and be reachable: contractor, clinic, salon, consultant, small F&B. Five pages is genuinely enough for most.
- $988 Business — you have several services or locations to explain, or you want a blog because you are serious about being found on Google.
- $1,500+ E-shop / E-learning — money changes hands on the site, or students log in to something.

Straight answers
Website cost questions, answered directly.
How much does a website cost in Singapore in 2026?
A five-page business website in Singapore costs roughly S$1,500–S$5,000 from a studio, S$3,000–S$10,000 from a full-service agency, and S$500–S$2,000 from a freelancer. Fair Price Web Design charges S$600 for up to five pages and S$988 for up to twelve, with the first year of hosting included.
How much does e-commerce website development cost in Singapore?
Between S$5,000 and S$30,000 from agencies and studios, depending on catalogue size and integrations. Fair Price Web Design builds shops with cart, checkout, PayNow and card payments from S$1,500.
How much does website hosting cost in Singapore per year?
Typically S$120–S$600 a year including SSL and backups. Fair Price Web Design includes the first year free — two years on the S$988 Business plan, along with two years of your domain — then charges S$240 a year for hosting, SSL renewal, daily backups and security updates, cancellable at any time.
Is there a monthly fee for a website?
Not with Fair Price Web Design. There is no mandatory retainer. The only recurring cost is S$240 a year for hosting after the free period — one year on Starter, two years on Business — plus your domain renewal at cost.
Can I use the PSG grant for a website in Singapore?
The Productivity Solutions Grant covers digital packages from pre-approved vendors listed on GoBusiness. Fair Price Web Design is not a PSG pre-approved vendor, so its builds are not claimable.
Compare the out-of-pocket figure rather than the sticker price. A $4,000 PSG package with 50% support costs $2,000 of your own money; a 12-page website here costs $988 with no application, no approval wait and no claim to file. Before signing with any grant vendor, ask what the same package costs without the grant.
Is a website cheaper with the PSG grant?
Not necessarily. A grant reduces what you feel, not what the work costs. Packages designed around a subsidy tend to be priced against the subsidy ceiling rather than against the work, so a 50%-supported $4,000 package can still leave you paying more than an unsubsidised build. PSG is genuinely worth using for full digital systems — POS, inventory, accounting, CRM — where the software carries real licence costs. For a website on its own, compare the two out-of-pocket numbers first.
Do you charge GST?
No. Prices shown are the amount payable in Singapore dollars, with nothing added at invoice.
