How I build

What makes a website bring in work.

Five things every site I build gets right, in the order visitors notice them.

  1. Loads before they give up

    Under two seconds on a phone, 90+ on Lighthouse. Slow sites lose visitors before the headline even appears.

  2. Says what you do, instantly

    A headline a stranger understands in three seconds: what you do, where, and why you.

  3. One clear next step

    A single main action, plus WhatsApp and call buttons that work properly on mobile.

  4. Proof before they scroll

    Reviews and recognisable clients near the top, where hesitant visitors decide.

  5. Found on Google from day one

    Titles, descriptions, schema and clean structure built in, not bolted on after launch.

Getting started

From first call to launch.

A typical business website takes three to five weeks. Here’s how it runs.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery & plan

    A free 30-minute call, then a sitemap and content list, so we agree what the site needs before any design.

  2. Week 2

    Design in Figma

    Wireframes first, then a full visual design for your approval before a single line of code is written.

  3. Weeks 3–4

    Build & test

    Clean code, mobile testing, speed optimisation and SEO foundations set up.

  4. Week 5

    Launch & handoff

    Hosting, domain and analytics set up, plus a walkthrough so you can update content yourself.

Honest fit check

Is a new website what you need?

Sometimes the answer is no. Better to hear it before you spend.

A good fit if…

  • You need a website that brings in enquiries, not just one that looks good.
  • You want to update text and images yourself after launch.
  • You care about speed and Google from day one.
  • Your budget fits the scope. Business sites typically start from SGD 2,000–5,000 or AED 3,000–8,000.

Probably not a fit if…

  • You want the cheapest template site possible.
  • Your site already works and you just need more visitors. SEO may be the better spend. See SEO →
  • You need leads while the new site is being built. Google Ads can bridge the gap. See Google Ads →

Questions

What people ask before starting.

How much does a professional website cost?

It depends on scope. A business or personal brand site typically starts from SGD 2,000–5,000 (or AED 3,000–8,000). E-commerce and web apps are priced on features. You get a detailed proposal after a free discovery call, with no hidden costs.

WordPress or custom development?

WordPress suits most business sites: cost-effective, easy to update, with plugins for SEO, e-commerce and forms. Custom development (React, Next.js, Astro) is right when you need specific functionality, a web app, or a site that must scale. I’ll recommend what fits your goals and budget.

How long does it take to build a website?

A business website typically takes three to five weeks from kickoff to launch. E-commerce takes four to eight weeks depending on products and integrations. Web apps are scoped individually, always with milestone-based delivery.

Will my website be optimised for SEO?

Yes. Every site includes SEO foundations: title tags and descriptions, semantic HTML, schema markup, fast loading, Core Web Vitals, mobile layouts and clean URLs. Ongoing SEO is a separate service I also offer.

Do you build e-commerce websites?

Yes, on WooCommerce, Shopify or a custom platform: product catalogue, payment gateway, cart and checkout, inventory and conversion-focused product pages, for clients across Singapore, the UAE and India.

Who actually builds the site?

I design it and manage it end to end, and you deal only with me. On bigger builds, a small team of developers I trust helps with the heavy lifting.
