The cost of website design and website development in Singapore can range from $1,000 to $5,000 for a 10 pages site for a start. You may ask, why such big difference in the pricing?
There is different ways of doing up a website. You may get a student to do it for $1,000 or get a professional to do it at almost four times the pricing. You can even get a website done at less than $50 if you do it yourself.

DIY Websites: ~S$50 / month
So, if you are on a real tight budget, you can still do your own website at less than $50 a month. There is so much free tools out in the wild waiting for you to try and compare which works best for you.

The cost is mostly spent on webhosting and domain registration.
