How much should a business website cost in Singapore?
"How much does a website cost?" is the wrong first question. The right one is: what is this website supposed to do for your business? A 5-page brochure site and a multi-warehouse ecommerce platform are not the same purchase — and pricing them the same way is how businesses end up disappointed.
Here's the real breakdown, based on current Singapore market rates.
$1.5K–$60KTypical project range in SGD

/month
Fast, cheap, but you own nothing. Limited SEO power, locked-in templates, and you're renting on someone else's platform.
Basic business site
5–10 pages, template-based
$1,500–
$5,000
$5,000
Responsive design, basic SEO, contact form, Google Analytics. Suitable for businesses needing a credible online presence — not a growth engine.
Custom corporate site
Agency-built, brand-specific
$6,000–
$20,000+
$20,000+
Custom UI/UX, brand-led design, CRM integrations, deeper SEO architecture. This is where most growing SMEs in Singapore land.
E-commerce / custom app
Shopping cart, marketplace sync, custom logic
$8,000–
$50,000+
$50,000+
Product catalogues, payment gateways, inventory management. Range widens fast with marketplace integrations and custom features.
Where the money goes
What drives the price up or down
| Factor | Low-cost impact | High-cost impact |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | 5 pages, template | 20+ pages, custom sections |
| Design | Pre-built theme | Fully custom UI/UX |
| Functionality | Contact form only | Booking, CRM, ecommerce, member portals |
| Integrations | None | HubSpot, Salesforce — $500–$3,000 each |
| Who builds it | Freelancer, $25–100/hr | Agency, $100–300/hr |
A 7-page F&B site with booking and Google Maps integration runs $1,500–$5,000. A custom ecommerce build with marketplace sync can exceed $50,000. The gap is entirely about functionality, not page count.
Don't forget
The PSG grant most SMEs miss
Singapore's Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), administered by Enterprise Singapore and IMDA, covers up to 50% of qualifying website costs for eligible SMEs working with a pre-approved vendor. Eligibility: Singapore-registered, at least 30% local shareholding, turnover under $100M or under 200 employees. The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) covers larger digital transformation projects. Both are claimed through the Business Grants Portal.
95.1% of Singapore SMEs have adopted at least one digital solution (IMDA Digital Economy Report 2025). A website is usually the first step — and grants can cut your cost in half.

Where Glyde fits
Pricing transparency, no surprises
The widest source of website cost disputes in Singapore isn't the headline price — it's what wasn't included. Hosting, content writing, SEO, maintenance, and revisions all get quoted separately by some agencies and bundled by others. At Glyde, every quote breaks down exactly what's covered, what's optional, and what it costs to maintain after launch.
