Next.js Development in Singapore

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.

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.

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 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.

Marketing sites: S$620-S$1,500. SaaS dashboards / web apps: S$1,500-S$4,600. Headless e-commerce or enterprise builds: S$3,800+. Final cost depends on number of authenticated surfaces, integration count, design fidelity, and whether content is from a CMS or hardcoded.

App Router for any new project starting in 2025+. Pages Router is now legacy, Vercel is investing entirely in the App Router, and the developer experience is meaningfully better once you accept the server-first mental model. We migrate Pages Router projects to App Router for clients regularly.

Vercel by default for ~80% of clients, it's the frictionless path and integrates natively with Next.js features. Netlify for static-export sites where the cost model is better. AWS via OpenNext when compliance dictates AWS-only deployments. Self-hosted Node when there's a specific reason.

Yes. We build full-stack solutions, Next.js front-end + Server Actions/API routes for the data layer, with Supabase, Drizzle ORM, or a separate Laravel/Node backend depending on the data model and team. We pick the right backend for the project, not a default we always use.

Yes. Every Next.js build we ship includes proper metadata API usage, generated sitemap.xml and rss.xml, JSON-LD structured data per page type, dynamic OG images, and Core Web Vitals tuned to 95+. We also handle Search Console verification and submit the sitemap as part of launch.
