Most business websites in Singapore land between $4,000 and $25,000. That is the short answer, and you can stop reading if it is all you came for.
The longer answer is more useful, because the range above is wide enough to be almost useless on its own. What follows is what moves a project from one end of it to the other, what the quotes below $2,000 actually are, and what the number on the proposal leaves out.
We publish our bands. Most studios in Singapore do not, and the usual reason is that the figure moves depending on who is asking.
What each band buys
| Band | What it is | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| From $4,000 | A refresh of a site that already works | 4 to 6 weeks |
| From $8,000 | A site built from scratch, several services or audiences to separate | 6 to 10 weeks |
| From $25,000 | Industrial and corporate builds carrying technical content, certifications and integrations | 10 weeks and up |
From $4,000: the refresh
The structure is sound. The content mostly exists. The problem is that the site looks like the year it was built, and the year it was built is visible from the homepage.
This band assumes we are not rebuilding your business logic. We are reworking layout, typography, imagery and the pages that carry the selling, and we are tidying up the parts that have accumulated since launch. If the site needs a new structure to make sense, it is not a refresh, and quoting it as one is how projects go wrong in week five.
From $8,000: built from scratch
This is where most businesses land. It covers a site with more than one thing to explain: several services, or two audiences who want different things, or a case for credibility that needs building rather than asserting.
The work that makes this band cost what it costs is not page production. It is deciding what goes on which page, in what order, and what gets cut. A five-page site where that thinking is already done is a fast job. A five-page site where it is not is a two-month one.
From $25,000: industrial and corporate
Technical specifications. Certifications and accreditations that a quantity surveyor or procurement officer will look for by name. Product, fleet or capability records that have to be accurate and have to stay accurate. Integrations with something you already run.
The cost here is rarely design. It is the gathering. Getting a complete and current list of what a company holds, does and owns is slow work, and it is usually the first time anyone has assembled it in one place.
Why some quotes come in under $2,000
They are real quotes. They are just not the same product, and it is worth knowing which of the three you are looking at.
A template with your logo on it. A purchased theme demo, populated with your text. This is a legitimate purchase if you know that is what you are buying. It stops being legitimate when it is sold as a design process. The tell is that you are shown the layout before anyone has asked what the site has to achieve.
Offshore production behind a local front. Nothing wrong with distributed teams. The problem is the accountability gap that appears at revision three, when the person you can reach is not the person who can change anything.
The hosting recovery. A build priced below cost, recovered through a hosting or maintenance contract you cannot exit without losing the site. Ask two questions before signing anything cheap: who owns the domain, and can you take the files elsewhere. If either answer is complicated, the price is not the price.
What actually moves the number
Almost never page count. Ten pages of material you have already written is cheaper than three pages that need to be figured out.
- How much of the thinking is done. If you can say what the site is for and who it has to convince, you have removed the most expensive variable.
- Whether the content exists. Copy, photography, specifications, project records. Writing them is work, and it belongs in the quote or it belongs to you.
- How many audiences the site has to serve. One buyer is a website. Three buyers who want incompatible things is an information architecture problem first.
- Whether anything has to talk to anything else. A booking system, an inventory, a CRM, a payment flow. Each integration is a dependency you will still have in three years.
- How feedback arrives. Consolidated once per phase keeps a launch date real. Sent piece by piece over three weeks does not, and no quote survives it.
The costs that never appear on the proposal
The build is the visible number. These are the ones that decide what the site costs over five years.
Hosting. We charge SGD 200 a year. Cheaper exists. Cheaper usually means shared infrastructure where your load times depend on the busiest neighbour on the box.
Domain renewal. Small, annual, and the single most common cause of a site disappearing overnight. It lapses because the renewal notice goes to an inbox nobody reads any more.
Maintenance. Plugin and core updates, backups, certificates, uptime. From SGD 200 a month. This is the line most often cut to save money and it is the one that eventually costs the most, because the alternative to maintenance is not zero, it is a rebuild.
We cover the reasoning behind that last point in more detail in why a cheap website costs more than it saves, and if your buyers are other businesses rather than consumers, what a B2B website actually costs in Singapore goes deeper on that specific case.
What we charge, and why it is on this page
Creatif Work has delivered over 100 projects across more than 70 clients since 2023. Our bands are the ones at the top of this article. They are also published on our pricing page, along with what is included and what is not.
We put them in public for a practical reason. A quote that only exists after a discovery call is a quote that can be adjusted to what the call revealed about your budget. Publishing removes that option, which is uncomfortable occasionally and correct always.
We agree a band once we know what the site has to do. It does not move after that. Revisions are unlimited within a phase, with the caveat that changing your mind after a phase is signed off will extend the timeline, which is the honest trade rather than a penalty.
Before you ask anyone for a quote
Write down what the site has to achieve, who has to be convinced, and what happens today when they are not. Three sentences is enough. Bring that to every studio you speak to and the quotes become comparable, because they will all be pricing the same problem instead of guessing at different ones.
If you would rather work that out with someone first, that is what our diagnostic is for. It is a short, paid engagement that ends with a written brief you own, and you are free to take it to another studio. Some people do. If you already know what you need and want it built, our website work is the place to start, or email hi@creatif.work.
