How much does a website cost in Singapore? (2026)

In short: Most Singapore business websites cost between about S$800 and S$15,000 to build, depending on pages, design and features. One agency's guide updated in October 2026 puts a corporate site at S$5,000 to S$15,000 and an e-commerce site at S$5,000 to S$30,000, plus hosting and maintenance each year.

A business website in Singapore usually costs somewhere between about S$800 and S$15,000 to build, with online stores and custom web applications costing more. Where your project lands depends on how many pages and page layouts you need, whether the design is custom or template-based, and which features the site must support, such as bookings, payments or member logins. After launch you also pay for hosting, the domain and, in most cases, maintenance.

The figures in this guide come from providers’ own published pricing, checked in October 2026. They are reference points, not quotes, and different agencies price the same scope differently.

Typical website costs by type

The most detailed public breakdown we found is a pricing guide from a Singapore web design agency, published in February 2026 and updated in October 2026. Its figures are in Singapore dollars and it does not say whether GST is included.

The same guide shows how much the type of provider matters. It puts a corporate site at S$3,000 to S$8,000 with a freelancer, S$6,000 to S$15,000 with a small agency and S$10,000 to S$25,000+ with a full-service agency. For hourly work it gives S$30 to S$100 an hour for freelancers and S$100 to S$300 an hour for agencies.

Another digital agency’s published rate card lists website design and development from S$6,800 per project, and states that its figures are in Singapore dollars and inclusive of GST where applicable.

What a small project can look like

The agency guide includes a worked example for a 7-page food and beverage website in its first year: S$3,500 for design and development, S$700 for writing seven pages, S$50 for a .com.sg domain, S$200 for a year of hosting and a free SSL certificate included with hosting, for a total of S$4,450. It is one example, but it shows how content and running costs add to the build price.

What drives the cost

Most of the gap between a S$2,000 quote and a S$15,000 quote comes from a handful of decisions.

Design approach

A template or theme adapted to your brand is the cheapest route. Custom layouts, more revision rounds and design for several page types all add time. Ask how many design concepts and revision rounds are included.

Number of page templates and pages

Providers often price by unique layout rather than by page count. Twenty service pages that share one layout cost less than eight pages that each need their own design.

Features and integrations

Bookings, online payments, member areas, multiple languages, search, filters, and connections to a CRM, accounting or inventory system are usually priced separately. If the site needs logins, dashboards or workflows rather than pages, it may be closer to app development than web design.

Content

Copywriting, photography, video and translation are often excluded from website packages. If you need them, budget for them separately, or see our guides to video production costs and translation costs.

Platform

An open-source CMS such as WordPress is widely supported and easy to move between providers, but needs regular updates. Hosted website builders have lower upkeep but monthly fees and less flexibility. Hosted e-commerce platforms charge a subscription and often transaction fees. Headless or custom builds cost the most to build and maintain.

Migration from an old site

Moving content and setting up redirects so you keep your search rankings takes time. Ask whether it is included.

Hidden and ongoing costs

The build price is rarely the whole bill. Check each quote for these:

• Hosting and domain. The agency guide puts hosting and domain renewal at S$250 to S$500 a year.
• Maintenance. The same guide lists optional maintenance at S$50 to S$200 a month. Ask what it covers: CMS and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring and a set number of content changes.
• Paid plugins, themes and apps. Many charge yearly licence fees.
• E-commerce platform and payment fees. Monthly plans and per-transaction charges continue for as long as the store runs.
• SEO and marketing. A new site does not bring traffic on its own. See our guide to digital marketing costs.
• Change requests. Work outside the agreed scope is usually billed by the hour.
• GST. GST in Singapore is 9%. Check whether each quote includes it.

How to get comparable quotes

Quotes are only comparable when every provider prices the same scope. Before you ask, write a one-page brief covering:

1. The goal of the site and who it is for.
2. A list of pages, and which ones need a unique layout.
3. Features: forms, bookings, payments, logins, languages, integrations.
4. Who will write the content and supply photos.
5. Your preferred platform, if any, and who will update the site after launch.
6. Your budget range and launch date.

Send the same brief to each provider and ask for an itemised quote that separates design, build, content, migration, hosting and maintenance. Ask whether the domain, hosting account, CMS admin and source files will be in your company’s name, and who owns the design and code after you pay.

Our website and app cost calculator turns the published ranges into an estimate for your project, which helps you check whether quotes are in a sensible range.

Grants have changed

Many web design pages still advertise packages supported by the Productivity Solutions Grant. Enterprise Singapore says PSG ceased on 29 September 2026, and that new applications should go to the EDGE Grant from 30 September. Our guide to grants for websites and e-commerce explains which EDGE activities come closest to a website build, and our EDGE Grant guide covers support levels and how to apply. Check eligibility with Enterprise Singapore before you commit, and be careful with any quote that presents a grant as guaranteed.

Freelancer, small agency or full-service agency

The agency guide’s provider comparison is a useful way to decide who to ask. A freelancer suits a simple site with a clear brief and an owner who can supply content and make decisions quickly, but check who covers the site if that person is unavailable. A small agency usually adds a project manager, a designer and a developer, and suits most corporate sites. A full-service agency adds strategy, branding, copywriting and marketing, which costs more but can make sense when the website is part of a wider rebrand or campaign. Whichever you choose, ask to see live sites similar to yours and speak to the person who will manage your project.

Red flags in a website quote

• A package price with no written list of pages, features or revision rounds.
• The domain or hosting registered in the provider’s name.
• “Free” or “lifetime” maintenance with no stated scope.
• No admin access for you, or a proprietary system you cannot move away from.
• No plan for redirects when replacing an existing site.

To compare providers yourself, browse the web design directory, which lists Singapore web design companies with their location and Google ratings. Our web design matching page covers platform choices, data protection and questions to ask in more detail.
