Emanuela
Singapore on Mar 2026
I hired Giulia and her team to fix our website and make it more professional. They adjusted fonts, pictures, and spacing, and overall it was good and we are still working with them to finish this first job. A few things were not perfect at first, so I had to check everything and ask them to fix small things, which took quite a bit of time, but communication was fine and they were professional, kind and respectful. Price felt fair, even a bit cheap compared to another quote I had.

Meital
Singapore on Mar 2026
I wanted help increasing traction on my website and have some guidance because I’m not a tech person. Girls Who Web guided my assistant on connecting everything; Google console, analytics, making sure everything works, and gave suggestions to improve the website.
She was responsible, on time, and if a meeting was supposed to be one hour, she didn't mind running it longer to make sure she completed things properly. When my assistant was in an earthquake and we had to stop, she was super flexible. The price felt fair and even though we didn't work together for a long time yet, I will definitely reach out to her again if I need any services.

Giulia helped me upgrade the website I already had for my small business, and supported me with digital marketing on Instagram and Facebook. She still maintains the site, helps when things go wrong, and even sorted out a cyber attack. She is very responsive and reasonably priced: it feels fair.
She did great. Just now and again things haven't happened as quickly as I'd like and maybe the communication hasn't been perfect, but when stuff goes wrong last minute, she jumps in on weekends and gets it sorted. Any problems with my website, she's the person I go to, and the little group sessions we had to learn different things were really supportive.

Custom websites
How much does a website cost in Singapore?
A basic informational site from a freelancer is S$800 to S$3,000. A small business site of five to ten pages is S$1,500 to S$5,000, a corporate site S$5,000 to S$15,000, and a genuinely custom build starts at S$15,000 and passes S$50,000. The spread is why one agency quotes S$2,000 and another S$18,000 for what sounds like the same request. Hourly, Singapore developers charge S$30 to S$50 junior, S$50 to S$85 mid and S$85 to S$140 senior, or roughly S$400 to S$1,050 a day. Ask what the quote excludes rather than what it includes, since content, hosting and post-launch changes are the usual gaps.

Online shops (e-commerce)
How much does an e-commerce website cost in Singapore?
E-commerce runs S$5,000 to S$30,000 depending on how much of it is standard and how much is built. A Shopify store with a bought theme and your products loaded sits near the bottom of that. A custom checkout, integrations with your stock system and anything unusual about how you sell moves it toward the top. Beyond the build, budget for what you pay every month: the platform subscription, payment gateway fees on every transaction and someone maintaining it. Ask for the total first-year cost rather than the build price, because that is the number that decides whether the shop is worth having.

Tools integrations
How much do website integrations cost in Singapore?
Integration work is billed by the hour at S$55 to S$145, or folded into a project quote. Connecting a booking system, a payment gateway, a CRM or an accounting package is usually a day or two each where the tool has a proper API, and considerably more where it does not. Ask that question first, because the cost difference between a documented integration and a workaround is large and is not visible from the outside. If you are choosing tools now, choosing ones that already talk to each other saves more than any negotiation on the developer's rate.

Web applications
How much does a web application cost in Singapore?
Applications are quoted per project and start where custom websites end, from S$15,000 and running past S$50,000 once there are user accounts, permissions, data and integrations involved. Complex corporate systems pass S$40,000 routinely. Priced by time, that is S$85 to S$145 an hour for senior developers or S$400 to S$1,050 a day. The advice that saves the most money is to specify less: build the smallest version that does the core job, put it in front of real users, and add from there. Most of the budget lost on projects like this goes on features nobody ended up using.

Backend development
How much does backend development cost in Singapore?
The same hourly bands apply, S$30 to S$50 junior through S$85 to S$140 senior, with agencies at S$55 to S$145. Backend work is where seniority genuinely earns its premium, because the decisions made early about data and structure are the expensive ones to undo, and a cheap developer who builds something unmaintainable costs far more over two years than the saving. Ask who owns the code and where it lives. A build handed over without repository access is a build you cannot take to anyone else, and that is a much bigger risk than the hourly rate.

Frontend development
How much does frontend development cost in Singapore?
Charged by the hour or the day: S$30 to S$50 for a junior, S$50 to S$85 mid-level and S$85 to S$140 for a senior, which works out at roughly S$400 to S$1,050 a day. Agencies bill effectively S$55 to S$145 an hour. Frontend is usually where a fixed-price site spends most of its hours, because it is the part that gets revised. Agree the number of design revision rounds in writing before starting. Most overruns on small projects are not technical, they are a client changing the layout after it has been built rather than at the design stage.

Hosting and deployment
How much does website hosting cost in Singapore?
Hosting is from about S$150 a year, a domain around S$20 a year, and an SSL certificate roughly S$70 unless your host includes it. An all-in website builder subscription is around S$144 a year with hosting and SSL bundled. Total first year running costs land near S$640 for a self-managed setup against roughly S$164 on a builder. The thing worth insisting on is that the domain and hosting accounts are registered in your company's name with your email, not your developer's. It is trivial on day one and a genuine problem the day you change agency.

Maintenance and support
How much does website maintenance cost in Singapore?
Basic maintenance is from about S$200 a year, and an ongoing retainer with real support is quoted monthly and priced off the same S$55 to S$145 hourly rate. Be clear about what a maintenance plan covers, because the word means anything from applying security updates to making content changes on request. The two questions that matter: does it include updates and backups, and what is the response time when the site is down. A cheap plan that covers neither is a subscription rather than a service, and you find out which at the worst possible moment.

Performance and security
How much does website performance and security work cost in Singapore?
This is hourly work at S$55 to S$145, or part of a maintenance plan from around S$200 a year. A performance audit and the fixes that follow is typically a day or two, so S$400 to S$1,050 a day. Most of what makes a site slow is unglamorous and cheap to fix: oversized images, too many plugins, and hosting chosen on price. Security is the same story, since the majority of small business sites in Singapore are compromised through an unpatched plugin rather than anything targeted. Paying for updates is far cheaper than paying for a cleanup.

Custom-coded
How much does a custom-coded website cost in Singapore?
Custom builds start at S$15,000 and go well past S$50,000. That is the honest floor, and the reason is simply hours: at S$85 to S$145 an hour for senior work, a build with nothing bought off the shelf accumulates quickly. Before committing, be clear about why you are not using a platform. Custom is right when what you do genuinely cannot be expressed in WordPress or Shopify. It is wrong when the reason is that a bought theme feels less impressive, since a S$3,000 themed site that launches next month usually beats a S$30,000 custom one that launches next year.

Shopify
How much does a Shopify store cost in Singapore?
A Shopify build sits at the lower half of the e-commerce range, so roughly S$5,000 to S$12,000 against S$5,000 to S$30,000 for e-commerce generally, because the platform does the hard parts and the work is theme customisation, products and payment setup. A simple store on a stock theme can be less. On top of the build you pay Shopify monthly and a transaction fee on every sale, so model the first year rather than the launch. It is the right choice for most Singapore small businesses selling physical products, and the wrong one if your selling model is genuinely unusual.

WordPress and Content management systems
How much does a WordPress website cost in Singapore?
A WordPress site on a bought theme is at the cheaper end, S$800 to S$3,000 from a freelancer and S$1,500 to S$5,000 for a small business build with your content in place. A corporate WordPress site with custom templates is S$5,000 to S$15,000. What people underestimate is the running cost: hosting from about S$150 a year, a domain at S$20, an SSL certificate around S$70 unless it is included, and maintenance from S$200 a year. Ask specifically who updates plugins, because an unmaintained WordPress site is the most common way a small business site gets compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people want to know before hiring web development in Singapore.
What should I check before hiring web development in Singapore?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and a price in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check the credential yourself rather than taking it on trust.
How are prices quoted in Singapore?
Watch for prices shown with "++". That means 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top, so a quoted S$100 is really about S$120. Ask whether a figure is nett before you compare two quotes.
Do I need a licensed professional in Singapore?
For some trades, yes, and it is not optional. Electrical work needs an EMA licensed electrical worker, plumbing that touches the public supply needs a PUB licensed plumber, and building work falls under BCA. Ask for the licence number.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other people's reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and turns up when they said they would.
What should I avoid when hiring web development in Singapore?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I find web development I can trust in Singapore?
