Web Design in Bukit Batok New Town

Morally yes, legally increasingly so — several markets now enforce accessibility standards (WCAG) for business websites, and lawsuits and fines are real in some countries. Practically: proper headings, alt text, keyboard navigation and color contrast cost little at build time and a lot to retrofit. Ask your designer to build to WCAG 2.1 AA.

Usually not — most quotes assume you supply finished text and images. Professional copywriting and a photo shoot are typically separate line items that can add 20-50% to a project. Stock photos and designer-polished draft text are the common middle ground; agree this explicitly before signing.

Two to three structured revision rounds are the industry standard, usually stated in the contract. Unlimited-revision promises sound generous but signal weak process — projects with no revision cap routinely stall for months. Consolidate all your feedback into each round instead of drip-feeding changes.

You should. Insist that the domain is registered in YOUR name (not the designer's), you hold the hosting account credentials, and the contract transfers full rights to the design and code on final payment. Designer-owned domains are the single most common lock-in trap in this industry.

Three price bands exist everywhere: DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace) at a monthly subscription, freelancers for custom small-business sites at a mid four-figure project price, and agencies at 2-4x freelancer rates with more process. The biggest cost driver is page count and custom functionality, not visual polish.

Freelancers charge roughly SGD 50-150/hr; 5-page corporate sites commonly run SGD 2,000-9,000 and e-commerce from SGD 5,000. PSG support can halve the net cost for eligible SMEs using approved vendors and packages.

Eligible SMEs (registered and operating in Singapore, ≥30% local shareholding) choose a pre-approved solution from a listed vendor, apply on Business Grants Portal before paying, and claim up to 50% support after deployment. The vendor and package must both be on the approved list — check before signing anything.
