Jamstack Development in Singapore
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in Singapore. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in SGD.
Working hours
Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 11:30 to 20:30 in Singapore, so from late morning onwards we are on the same working day, and anything you raise first thing is picked up by 11:30.
Quoted in SGD
Quotes exclude the 9% GST in Singapore, shown separately on the invoice.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed SGD quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.
About Jamstack Development
We build Jamstack sites: pages pre-rendered at build time and served from a CDN, content in a headless CMS your team can edit, and the dynamic parts handled by APIs. The result loads fast, has a small attack surface, and hands Google clean HTML to index. Senior engineers in Noida, a written scope, and a flat quote before any code.
What the engagement includes
- Next.js for static generation (SSG) and incremental static regeneration (ISR), so most pages are pre-built and content updates re-generate the affected pages without a full rebuild.
- A headless CMS chosen for how your editors actually work: Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, Storyblok, or headless WordPress. The content model is designed around your team, not a template.
- Headless commerce through Shopify's Storefront API or a similar backend for cart, checkout, and inventory, with the storefront built separately for speed and design freedom.
- Edge and CDN delivery on Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare, so pages are served from a node near the visitor instead of one origin server everyone hits at once.
- Serverless functions for the dynamic parts: contact forms, site search, newsletter signup, and webhooks, without standing up and babysitting a full server.
- Image optimization, structured data, XML sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals work built in from the start, because a fast site Google can read cleanly is the entire point of choosing Jamstack.
How we work with Singapore clients
Singapore is the one market we serve where the working day is simply shared. We are two and a half hours behind you and neither country moves its clocks, so our morning starts partway through yours and the whole of your afternoon is live time for both sides. That changes the shape of an engagement more than anything technical does: a call is booked for the same afternoon rather than the same week, a question raised before your lunch is answered after it, and the written-first method we run for North American clients is a courtesy here rather than a necessity. We keep the written record anyway, with a default chosen on every open decision, because it is the thing an auditor or a new hire can read later and a call is not.
Invoicing is worth stating plainly because the GST position confuses buyers on both sides. We are outside Singapore, so no GST appears on our invoice. Whether you account for it yourself is the reverse charge question, and IRAS's own guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not affected, while a partially exempt one accounts for it in its own return. We quote in Singapore dollars, the figure holds for the project whatever the rupee does, and payment by bank transfer or Wise avoids the card fees a five-figure invoice does not need. The contract can sit under Singapore law with Singapore courts, and unusually among our overseas markets that clause has teeth: Singapore is a reciprocating territory under section 44A of India's Civil Procedure Code, so a judgment of the Singapore High Court can be executed in India directly rather than re-litigated.

How does GST work if you are based in India?
No GST is charged on our invoice, and the invoice says so. Whether you account for it under reverse charge depends on your input tax position: IRAS's guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not impacted, a partially exempt business or one with non-business receipts accounts for GST on imported services in its own return, and a business that is not registered should ask its accountant, because an exempt business importing more than S$1 million of services in a year can be required to register. We would rather your accountant confirmed your position before the first invoice than reconciled it at year end.
Are you compliant with the PDPA?
We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. The consent, purpose limitation and notification obligations shape the forms and the data model; retention limitation means records are deleted on a schedule rather than kept indefinitely; access and correction requests are features with a queue behind them rather than a manual database job. Processing happens in India, so the transfer limitation obligation applies, and the processor agreement we sign sets out the comparable standard of protection the Act asks for. The obligation to design for early is breach notification: an organisation has three calendar days from determining a breach is notifiable, which means one likely to cause significant harm or one affecting 500 or more people, to tell the PDPC, and answering what was in the breach is only possible if the logging existed beforehand. Appointing a Data Protection Officer is your obligation rather than ours, and we will say so if a design choice would make that person's job harder.
Can we use a PSG or EDG grant to pay for this?
Not PSG. The Productivity Solutions Grant funds pre-scoped packages from pre-approved vendors for Singapore-registered companies, and a custom build from an overseas team is not that shape, so we will not pretend it is. The Enterprise Development Grant is assessed project by project against its own criteria, and whether a build like yours qualifies is a question for Enterprise Singapore or your grant consultant to answer before the scope is written rather than after a budget has assumed it.
We are regulated by MAS. Can you meet the outsourcing requirements?
We can supply what a due-diligence pack asks for, accept audit and access rights in the contract, and name every sub-processor that touches your data. What we will also tell you in the first conversation is what we do not hold: we are not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and our security page says so in those words. Whether an engagement with us is a material outsourcing arrangement under the MAS guidelines, and what that requires of you, is your compliance team's determination, and it changes the contract before it changes the code, so it belongs in week one.
Jamstack Development: common questions
What is Jamstack development, in plain terms?
It is a way of building sites where the pages are pre-rendered into HTML ahead of time and served from a CDN, instead of a server building each page from a database on every request. Dynamic bits like forms, search, and carts run on top through APIs. The payoff is a site that loads fast, is cheaper and safer to host, and gives search engines clean HTML to read. The name stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup.
Is Jamstack good for SEO?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons to choose it. Because pages are pre-rendered, a crawler gets finished HTML immediately instead of waiting on JavaScript to build the page, and CDN delivery keeps load times low, which helps Core Web Vitals. We build in sitemaps, structured data, and clean URLs from the start. It is not magic that ranks a brand new site overnight, but it removes the technical excuses so content and authority can do their job.
Can my team still edit the site without calling a developer?
Yes. Content lives in a headless CMS such as Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, Storyblok, or headless WordPress, and your editors change text, images, and pages there in a normal editing interface. With incremental regeneration, an edit re-builds only the affected pages, so updates go live quickly without a developer running a full deploy. We also set up preview so editors can see a change before it is public.
Can you do e-commerce or an online store on Jamstack?
Yes. We build headless storefronts where Shopify (or a similar commerce API) runs the cart, checkout, inventory, and payments, and a custom Next.js front end handles the design and the pages customers browse. You keep a proven commerce engine and get a faster, more flexible storefront than a stock theme allows. For very large or highly custom checkout logic we will scope it honestly, since headless commerce adds moving parts worth planning for.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site to Jamstack?
Yes, and it is common work. We can put a Next.js front end in front of your existing WordPress so your team keeps editing where they know, or move the content into a modern headless CMS entirely. Either way we map your existing URLs and redirects carefully so the rankings and links you have already earned carry over rather than breaking on launch day.
