How Much Does Website Development Cost in Singapore? (2026 Guide)
Website prices in Singapore run from about S$1,500 to over S$100,000. Here is what each type of site costs in 2026, what drives the price, and how to compare quotes.

If you ask five Singapore agencies what a website costs, you will get five very different numbers. That is not because someone is overcharging. It is because "a website" can mean a five-page brochure or a booking platform with payments and a customer login.
This guide gives you realistic 2026 price ranges for each type of website, explains what moves the price up or down, and shows how an offshore team compares with a local agency. All prices are in Singapore dollars.
The short answer
Based on pricing guides published by Singapore agencies in 2026, most projects fall into these ranges:
| Website type | Typical cost (S$) | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Basic informational site (3–8 pages) | 1,500 – 5,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| Small business site with CMS and blog (10–20 pages) | 5,000 – 12,000 | 4–8 weeks |
| Custom corporate website | 10,000 – 30,000 | 6–12 weeks |
| E-commerce store | 5,000 – 30,000 | 6–14 weeks |
| Custom web application | 20,000 – 100,000+ | 3–9 months |
Most Singapore SMEs end up spending somewhere between S$2,000 and S$8,000 on a business website, according to several of these guides. Local agencies typically bill between S$100 and S$300 an hour.
Sources for these ranges are listed at the end of this article.
What each type of website includes
Basic informational website
A homepage, an about page, a services page and a contact form. The design usually starts from a template with your colours and logo applied. This suits a new business that needs to look credible and be found on Google Maps and search.
Small business website
Ten to twenty pages, a content management system so you can edit pages yourself, a blog, and basic search engine setup. The design is semi-custom or fully custom. This is the right level for a business that expects enquiries to come from its website.
Custom corporate website
A fully custom design, more page layouts, animations, multiple languages, and connections to tools such as your CRM or a careers system. The extra cost comes from design time and from testing many more page types.
E-commerce store
The wide price range reflects two very different projects. A Shopify or WooCommerce store with a standard theme and up to about a hundred products sits at the lower end. A custom store with subscriptions, complex product options, multiple currencies or a connection to your inventory system sits at the upper end.
Custom web application
Booking systems, customer portals, internal dashboards and SaaS products. Here you are paying for software engineering, not page design: user accounts, permissions, databases, integrations and testing. Costs depend almost entirely on how many features the first version needs.
What drives the price
Six things explain most of the difference between a cheap quote and an expensive one:
- Custom design or template. A template is faster. A custom design is drawn from scratch around your brand and customers.
- Number of unique page layouts. Twenty pages that share three layouts cost far less than twenty pages that each look different.
- Features. Bookings, payments, member logins, search and calculators all take development and testing time.
- Integrations. Connecting to a payment gateway, CRM, accounting or inventory system adds work on both sides.
- Content. Copywriting, photography and translation are often quoted separately. Ask whether they are included.
- Who builds it. A freelancer, a local agency and an offshore team have very different hourly costs for similar work.
The costs after launch
The build price is not the full cost. Budget every year for:
- Domain and hosting. Small for a simple site, larger for an application with many users.
- Maintenance. Software updates, backups, security fixes and small changes. One Singapore agency guide suggests S$150 to S$500 a month for a standard SME website.
- Content and SEO. New pages, blog posts and improvements, if you want the site to keep bringing in enquiries.
When you compare quotes, compare the first-year total, not only the build price.
Local agency or offshore team?
Local developer salaries and office costs are a large part of Singapore agency rates. An offshore team has lower costs, so the same scope is usually cheaper. The trade-offs are real, though, and worth knowing:
| Local Singapore agency | Offshore team | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Higher | Lower for the same scope |
| Meetings | In person possible | Video calls |
| Working hours | Same as yours | Partial overlap |
| Government grants | Some vendors are pre-approved | Usually not eligible |
A note on grants: some local vendors are pre-approved for Singapore government support schemes, which can cover part of the cost of certain packages. If you qualify, compare the price after the grant with an offshore quote before deciding.
Offshore works well when the scope is written down clearly, you see progress every week, and one person is responsible for communication. It goes badly when requirements are vague and updates are rare. Those are the things to check before you sign with anyone.
How Mayonity prices projects
Mayonity is a remote team. We do not have a Singapore office, and that is why our pricing is lower than a local agency for the same scope.
We do not sell fixed packages, because the scope decides the price. Every project starts with a discovery call and a written quote covering scope, timeline and price, so you know the cost before any work begins. You can see examples in our portfolio and read how we work with Singapore businesses.
How to compare website quotes
Ask every vendor the same questions:
- Is the design custom or based on a template?
- How many pages and unique layouts are included?
- Who writes the content and supplies the images?
- Which features and integrations are included, and which cost extra?
- What does maintenance cost after launch, and what does it cover?
- Who owns the code and the design files when the project ends?
- How many rounds of changes are included?
A quote that answers all seven in writing is worth more than a cheaper one that does not.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 5-page website cost in Singapore?
Published 2026 guides put a basic five-page business website at roughly S$1,500 to S$5,000 with an agency, and less with a freelancer or a do-it-yourself builder.
Why do website quotes vary so much?
Because the scope varies. Custom design, the number of page layouts, features such as payments or bookings, and who builds the site can each double or halve the price.
Is it cheaper to use an offshore web development company?
Usually, for the same scope, because the team's costs are lower. Check communication, weekly progress updates and code ownership before choosing on price alone.
How long does it take to build a website?
A simple site takes two to four weeks. A custom business website takes six to twelve weeks. An online store or web application takes longer, depending on features.
