The cost of website design and website development in Singapore can range from $800 to $6,000 for a 10 pages site for a start. You may ask, why the huge difference in the pricing and rates?
There are different methods of developing a website. You may get a freelancer to do it for $1,000 or get a professional to do it at almost six times the rate. You can even get a website done at less than $100 if you do it yourself.

STARTING UP FREELANCER AND STUDENTS ~S$1,000
Let me get this straight: not all freelancers will do your website cheaply. In this section, I am referring to freelancers or students that just got their first few websites and graphic design gigs to build up their portfolios.

DIY WEBSITES: ~S$100 / MONTH
So, if you are on a real tight budget, you might still do your own website at less than $100 a month. There are so many tools for you to try and compare which works best for you. The downside of this, if you have minimal knowledge of development and web design, you’ll be spending precious time to design your website.
The cost is mostly spent on website hosting and domain registration.

- Spending many hours doing trial and error
