3. Singapore Web Design
Finally, you will require people to create content for your website. This may be simple content about your products to having an online shop and running Intranet applications for your staff.
The important points for consideration in your web design:
- usable; don't make users think but lead them.
- user-friendly; e.g. videos look good on your website but require longer page loading times.
- professional; users won't pay money online if you don't look reliable.
- be personal; let users connect with you by not with-holding necessary information.
If you know basic web design skills, you can simply purchase a design from TemplateMonster and add your own content. There are thousands of pre-made web templates available and from HTML to flash-based designs - prices start from as low as USD$30.
Otherwise you can engage a local Singapore web design firm to custom-design a website for your company. Charges vary and depend on the number of man-hours required to design and code your website.
Web programming is another matter altogether. If you want to create a B2B marketplace like AliBaba for example, you will require a PHP script to run on your web server. You can start by looking at script websites to see if there is already one available or you can post a job for freelancers to bid on.
Again, you can get a local Singapore web programming firm to custom-program for you but it will likely be more expensive. Of course, you get the benefit of engaging the programmer face-to-face - well worth the price for complex projects.
Another important cost component in web design projects are the maintenance cost. A web design contract usually includes a number of changes per year and the charges for additional website modifications not included.
