The problem this solves
Most small business websites are a brochure nobody finds. Templates and page builders get you online quickly, then quietly cost you for years — slow pages, duplicated markup, and a structure search engines struggle to read. Rebuilding later costs more than building it properly the first time.
Everything you get with this
Custom design and build
No template with your logo dropped on it. The layout, copy structure and components are designed around what your business actually sells.
A CMS you'll actually use
With the CMS package, Sanity is set up so you can edit text, swap images and publish new pages without calling me or touching code.
SEO built in from the start
Clean semantic markup, structured data, sitemaps, metadata and fast Core Web Vitals — the technical groundwork search engines and AI answer engines both rely on.
Fast on every device
Built on Next.js and served from the edge, so the site is quick on a phone on mobile data, not just on your desk.
Analytics and lead capture
Forms that reach your inbox reliably, plus analytics so you can see what's working instead of guessing.
Launch support
Domain, hosting, and a walkthrough so you're not handed a login and left to it. Thirty days of support included.

Next to a website builder
| Compared on | Built with me | A builder like Wix |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | One fixed price, agreed before work starts | A plan billed every month the site is live |
| Design | Designed around your business from a blank page | A template shared with everyone else who picked it |
| Who builds it | A developer, from first sketch to launch | You, in a drag-and-drop editor |
| Getting found | SEO and structured data built in before launch | Settings you fill in, within the platform's limits |
| Speed | Quick on a phone on mobile data | As fast as the platform lets it be |
| Editing | On a CMS site, text, photos and posts yourself; bigger changes come to me | Everything, yourself |
| Ownership | Code and content are yours, handed over or hosted on my retainer | The site stays on the builder's platform |
A builder is still the right call while you're testing an idea or need a page up this week. When you've outgrown it, I can move you off it.
Questions about website design
How much does a website cost in Singapore?
A website starts from SGD 3,000. One with a CMS, so you can update it yourself, typically runs SGD 5,000–8,000. Every project is quoted as a fixed price after scoping, so there are no open-ended hourly bills.
How long does it take to build a website?
A website is typically a week. One with a CMS usually runs 2–3 weeks, including design, revisions and testing. You'll get a realistic timeline once we've talked through the scope.
Do I need a custom website, or will Wix or a template do?
If you're still testing an idea or just need something online this week, a builder like Wix or Squarespace is hard to beat on cost. The trade-offs show up later: a monthly fee for as long as the site exists, a layout plenty of other businesses share, and limits on how fast it loads and how well search engines can read it. A custom site costs more upfront, but it's built around what your customers look for. If you've outgrown a builder, I can move your site off it.
Should my website be on WordPress?
I don't build or maintain WordPress sites, so I'm not the person for a new one. What most owners want from WordPress is to edit their own pages, and a modern CMS does that without a stack of plugins to keep patched. I build with Next.js and Sanity: you change text, photos and posts yourself, and the site loads faster for it. If you're on WordPress now, I can move you off it without losing your rankings.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency?
An agency makes sense when a project needs several specialists at once, like a large build with designers, developers and a project manager. For most small business websites, working directly with one person is simpler: the person you talk to is the person doing the work, nothing gets lost in hand-offs, and a change is one message. Either way, ask who will look after the site once it's live.
What should I look for when hiring a web designer?
A fixed price agreed before work starts. Past work for businesses like yours, ideally live sites you can visit. A straight answer on who does the work and who you'll contact after launch. And confirmation that you'll own the site, domain and content if you ever move on. Mine are all on this site: prices on the pricing page, work in the case studies.
Does web design affect SEO?
A lot. How a site is built decides how quickly it loads, how well it works on a phone and whether search engines can make sense of its pages, and all three affect where it ranks. That's why the SEO groundwork goes into the build itself rather than being added after launch.
Can you redesign my website without losing my Google rankings?
Yes, if the move is planned for it. Pages that already bring in visitors keep their addresses where possible, any that change are redirected so Google follows them, and I watch Search Console after launch to catch anything that slips. My website migration service covers this in detail.
Can my website take bookings or sell online?
Yes. A simple shop or booking flow can be part of a website, connected to a payment or booking service. Once you need customer logins, dashboards or rules specific to your business, that's a web application, which starts from SGD 8,000.
Do I need to supply the content?
You know your business better than I do, so the words work best coming from you — but I'll give you a structure to write into, and I'll edit and shape it so it reads well and ranks.
Do I own my website?
Yes, the code and the content are yours. Where the site lives depends on what happens after launch. If you look after it yourself, everything is handed over on accounts in your name when the job is done. If you're on a retainer, I host and run it on my own infrastructure, and if you ever end the retainer, I move it across to accounts in your name.
What happens after my website launches?
Every project includes 30 days of support after launch, for fixes and questions while you settle in. After that, either the site is handed over on accounts in your name and you take it from there (a simple site you edit yourself may need nothing more), or you stay on a monthly retainer and I host it, keep it updated and make changes for you. The retainer is month to month.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Design is how a site looks, reads and guides a visitor towards getting in touch. Development is the code that makes it work. At many agencies those are different people, and details get lost between them. I do both, so what goes live is what you approved.
