So, you’ve decided. You’re going to take the plunge and have a website designed for your business. One of the main questions on your mind might be, “How much does it cost to build a website in Singapore?”

You’ve asked around for a rough estimate but the answers you get back vary so much it just confuses you even more. It’s a fair question after all; you want the price to be worthwhile for your business and you don’t want to jump into this web design thing blindly. Which is why, in this article, we’ll be covering what you’re actually paying for when you pay for web design and why it differs from buying a template that you just slap your name and pictures onto.

How much does web design cost? How long is a piece of string?

There are quite a few factors involved that determine the price of a website. You wouldn’t expect all houses to cost the same when they are built for different purposes, have a different amount of rooms, and different land. In the same way, you wouldn’t expect all websites to cost the same either,

When you pay for a professional to design your website, you are paying to make sure they represent your brand, purpose, and goals. Your site is going to be a strong and valuable marketing tool for your business.

  • You are paying for content that is optimised for both humans and search engines. On one hand, you want it to lead people straight to the main objective of your site, and on the other hand, you want search engines like Google to show your website on their first page when people search for keywords related to what you do.
  • You are paying for photographs, whether they are stock images or taken by the designers themselves, then organised, retouched, and resized down for web use to maximise the loading speed of your website.
  • You are paying for strategically selected colors in the web design, as well as fonts and graphics which will all compliment your brand and the message you are giving out.
  • You are paying for your design to be user-friendly, with a proper structure and navigation layout.

Speaking of layout, your designer will be doing that as well, taking into account sidebars, headers, footers, social icons, opt-ins and more. They’ll be designing these in a way that sits strategically with your layout and don’t clutter up the site and make it look busy and unwelcoming.

Part of what you’re paying for is for on-site search engine optimization which includes smooth, minimal code quality, maximised website speed, and appropriate Meta data.

Depending on the needs of your website, you may be paying for functions like shopping carts, opt-ins, memberships, or forms.

You are paying for a website that is compatible across all browsers, along with mobile and tablet functionality.

And then there’s the hosting that makes your website live for the world to see, which includes setting up DNS, setting up analytics, your domain name, and the like.

As you can see, it’s not all just drag and drop! So when looking at the prices that a web design company charges, keep in mind that it’s all these different factors and jobs that make up the final price.
