How Much Does a Website Cost in Singapore? (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: what a website costs in Singapore

There is no official "average price" for a website in Singapore, and the surveys you see online are mostly marketing. What you can compare honestly is what each route involves and what it costs to keep the site running:

• Do it yourself on a website builder: you pay the builder's monthly plan plus a domain, and you spend your own time on design, copy and set-up.
• Freelancer or small studio: a one-off build fee, usually for a defined number of pages, then optional monthly maintenance.
• Agency: higher fees, more people involved (strategy, design, copywriting, development), and usually a longer timeline.
• Running costs apply whichever route you choose: domain renewal, hosting or platform plan, business email, and updates and backups.

A useful rule: a quote is only comparable if it lists the pages, features, number of revision rounds, who owns the accounts and what the yearly running costs will be. If two quotes don't list the same things, you can't compare them on price.

The four ways to get a website

1. A website builder (DIY)

Builders such as Wix, Squarespace or Shopify (for online stores) give you templates, hosting and security updates in one subscription. This is the cheapest way to start if you are comfortable writing your own copy and adjusting a template. Check the current plan prices on each builder's own pricing page. Prices change often, and the cheapest plans may limit features such as online payments or your own domain.

2. A freelancer

A good freelancer can be excellent value for a small site. The risks are around continuity: what happens if they become unavailable, and whether the domain, hosting and admin logins are in your name or theirs.

3. A small studio or fixed-price service

Studios and productised services sell a defined package (for example "up to 6 pages, 3 rounds of revisions") at a published price. You know the cost before you start, but anything outside the package is quoted separately.

4. An agency

Agencies suit larger projects that need brand strategy, custom design, copywriting, integrations or ongoing marketing. Expect a discovery phase, more meetings and a higher price, and make sure the scope is written down before you sign.

Our fixed prices, in full

For transparency, here is what IT Sorted charges. Prices are in SGD, fixed and published. Delivery times are in business days and start once we have your content and access. Every site is built on accounts in your name.

What is not included matters just as much. None of these packages include writing your copy from scratch, paid stock photos, or the third-party fees below, which you pay directly to the provider. See all options on the websites page or the bundles on the kits page.

Running costs nobody quotes

A website has yearly costs on top of the build fee. Ask for them up front, because they continue long after the designer has finished.

Sources: Shopify pricing (Singapore), Google Workspace pricing, Microsoft 365 business plans and SGNIC's list of registrars. Prices change; always check the provider's page before you budget.

Two Singapore-specific points about domains. A .com.sg domain is for commercial entities registered (or registering) with ACRA, Enterprise Singapore or a Singapore professional body, while .sg is open to anyone. And the administrative contact must verify their identity with Singpass or Corppass through SGNIC's VerifiedID@SG process. Both rules are set out on SGNIC's .SG categories page and VerifiedID@SG page.

For upkeep, our care plans cost S$29/month (monitoring only), S$129/month (updates, daily backups and up to 1 hour of changes) or S$349/month (3 hours of changes, priority replies). Whoever you choose, make sure somebody is responsible for updates and backups.

What pushes the price of a website up

Most of the difference between a cheap quote and an expensive one comes from a short list of things. Decide which you actually need before asking for quotes:

• Number of pages and page types. Six standard pages are quick to build. Twenty pages with different layouts take much longer.
• Copywriting. Writing every page from scratch is often the most time-consuming part. Supplying your own text, even as bullet points, saves real money.
• Custom design compared with adapting a good template to your brand.
• Second language. A bilingual English and Chinese (or Malay or Tamil) site doubles the content work, even if the design is shared.
• Online payments, bookings or a store. Each one adds set-up, testing and policies (refunds, privacy, shipping).
• Integrations with accounting, CRM or booking systems, especially anything without a ready-made connector.
• Revision rounds and meetings. Unlimited revisions sound generous, but someone pays for them in the price.
• Photography and video. Professional shoots are a separate cost from the website.

Grants for a small website: PSG has ended, EDGE has replaced it

Many older articles say you can claim the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) for a website. That is now out of date. Enterprise Singapore states that EDG, MRA and PSG under Enterprise Singapore ceased on 29 September 2026, and that from 30 September 2026 businesses apply under the new EDGE Grant instead. Ongoing applications and projects are still processed. Source: Enterprise Singapore, EDGE Grant.

According to Enterprise Singapore's EDGE page (as of October 2026):

• Support is up to 70% for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, and it differs by activity.
• Total support is capped at S$100,000 per year across all activities, refreshed on 1 April each year.
• It is paid as a reimbursement: you claim after the activity is completed and fully paid.

Whether a simple brochure website counts as a supported activity depends on the activity list, so use the BizSG grant recommender linked from the EDGE Grant page before you plan around a grant. GoBusiness also notes that PSG solutions from some other agencies remain in its solutions directory. Grant packages usually require a specific listed vendor and solution, and you must apply before you sign or pay.

Is a grant worth it for a small website? It can be, if the grant-supported package is what you would have bought anyway. Compare the net cost after the grant, the timeline including approval, and what is locked in (contract length, hosting, ownership of the accounts). Sometimes a smaller fixed-price build you can start this week works out cheaper overall. IT Sorted is not a grant-listed vendor, so our prices are the full price with no grant.

Red flags in a website quote

• The domain or hosting will be registered in the designer's name. Always insist the domain, hosting, email and any store accounts are in your name or your company's, with you as the owner and the designer as a user.
• No list of pages or features, just a single lump sum.
• "Free website" with a long monthly contract, where you don't own the site at the end.
• No mention of running costs: domain renewal, hosting, email, plugins or apps.
• No handover: you should get admin logins and a short guide to editing your own text and images.
• Guaranteed Google rankings. Nobody can guarantee rankings. On-page SEO basics, a sitemap and Search Console set-up are reasonable to expect, but outcomes are not.
• No written revision limit or timeline, so the project can drift for months.

Do it yourself or get help?

Do it yourself if you have time, a clear idea of your pages, and a simple need such as a few pages, a contact form and a map. Practical steps:

1. Register the domain in your own name at an SGNIC-accredited registrar (for .sg) or any reputable registrar, and turn on auto-renew.
2. Pick a builder template close to what you want and change as little of the layout as possible. Spend your effort on the words and photos.
3. Write one clear page per service, with prices or a price range if you can, and a visible WhatsApp or phone contact.
4. Set up a free Google Business Profile and link it to your site.
5. Add a privacy policy if you collect any personal data through forms (see our PDPA checklist).
6. Test the site on your phone, and check HTTPS and email security with our free domain check.

Get help if you'd rather spend your time on the business, need a store, bookings or two languages, or want it done properly in a fixed number of days. A Business Website at S$1,490 covers up to six pages on accounts you own. If you also need the domain and email, the Go Online Kit bundles all three for S$1,590. We work remotely and in writing, so you get a written scope before anything starts.
