LIVE EXAMPLE · BUILT SINGLE-HANDEDLY

One live site. Click it.

HOW WE ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCH

A new website is news. We treated it like a launch, not an upload.

  • Launch filmThe announcement film above, cut for web and social.
  • Email announcementSent to existing clients so the first visitors were warm ones.
  • Social postsAcross the group’s channels, each pointing at one page.

Built single-handedly. Design, code, copy, SEO, forms and automations for a financial advisory group’s corporate site and three campaign pages. The site you are reading now, too.

WHY A FREELANCER, NOT AN AGENCY

Agency-level websites.
Freelance rates.

An agency prices in an office, account managers and a team of salaries, and recovers it through fixed fees and retainers. I am one senior designer-developer doing the work directly, using AI to move about ten times faster, so you pay for the finished website rather than the overhead, and you deal with the person who actually built it.

QUESTIONS

Good to know.

How much does a freelance website cost in Singapore?

Every quote is built on the work involved: the number of pages, the design, the build, integrations and your timeline. As one freelance designer and developer with no agency overheads, the fee is typically a fraction of an agency project, and there is no locked-in retainer. You get a clear scope and a fixed fee before anything starts.

Do you both design and develop the website, or just one?

Both. I handle UI/UX and visual design, copy direction, and the technical build myself, so nothing is lost in a handover between a designer and a developer. One accountable person from the first wireframe to launch.

Which platforms do you build on?

Whatever fits how you will maintain it: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or WooCommerce for stores, or a fast custom build in React and Next.js (this very site is built that way). I recommend the platform based on your needs, not a template I want to reuse.

Will my website be fast and work well on mobile?

Yes. Every build is responsive and performance-minded: mobile-first layouts, optimised images, and clean code, because most visitors and most Google ranking now come from mobile.

Do you also handle SEO, hosting and maintenance?

Yes. I build on solid SEO foundations (structure, titles, metadata, schema), can advise on hosting and domains, and offer ongoing updates and maintenance if you want them, agreed around what the site actually needs.

What is the free makeover preview?

Send your current URL (or describe the business if you have no site yet). Within 48 hours you get a short video walkthrough of what is leaking enquiries and a homepage mockup in your brand. Keep it even if we never work together. It lives on the dedicated /website page.

Can you redesign or fix my existing website instead of starting over?

Often, yes. We review what exists, keep what works, and prioritise the changes with the best return, a revamp rather than a rebuild when that is the smarter, cheaper path.
