Questions before you ask
What does retroXpect do?
We design and build websites, custom web applications and eCommerce stores for Singapore businesses. Everything is done by our in-house team of five in Singapore, from design and development to support after launch.
How much does website development cost in Singapore?
Website development starts from $1,000. Web apps and eCommerce stores are priced on what they need to do. After a free consultation we send a written plan with the scope, timeline and price, so you know the full cost before any work starts.
How long does it take to build a website or web app?
Most website and web app projects take 2–8 weeks, depending on scope. Your written plan sets out the timeline before we start.
What's the difference between a website and a web app?
A website tells people about your business and brings in enquiries. A web app is software your team or customers use, such as a booking system, client portal or internal dashboard. We build both, and often connect the two.
Do you build eCommerce stores on Shopify or WooCommerce?
Yes. We build on Shopify, WooCommerce and Ecwid, or fully custom when a platform gets in the way, with payments, inventory and order tracking set up for you.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. We redesign existing sites to load faster, rank better on Google and bring in more enquiries, and we can look after the site once it is live.
Can it connect to the tools we already use?
Yes. We connect websites and web apps to payment gateways, CRMs and other systems through their APIs, and automate the repetitive steps between them with tools like n8n and Zapier.
