Web Application 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.

When users have to log in, save data, or run a workflow: booking a slot, tracking an order, seeing a personalised dashboard, getting a quote, or transacting with each other. A website presents the same pages to everyone; a web application does work for each user and changes based on who they are and what they do. If you find yourself wanting an admin panel, user accounts, or automation, you want a web app.

It depends on scope, so we do not publish one-size ranges that fall apart on contact with a real brief. We write the scope down, quote one flat INR number against it, and get the exact figure back to you within 24 hours. There is no per-hour meter and no surprise invoices. For overseas clients we can invoice in USD, CAD, GBP, or AED. Our website cost calculator gives a rough starting range before you even talk to us.

Both are in our production stack and we pick per project. Laravel is a strong default when you want mature built-in auth, an admin layer, and queues out of the box, which is common for portals and order systems. Node.js fits when the product is JavaScript end to end or needs real-time features like live dashboards. The front end is Next.js and React with TypeScript either way, and PostgreSQL is our default database.

A focused MVP, a portal or a booking system with one core workflow, is usually a few weeks. A larger product with several roles, payments, and integrations runs longer. We break the work into milestones with demos so you see progress the whole way rather than waiting on a black box, and the written scope tells you the timeline before we start.

Yes. Multi-tenant products with sign-up, authentication, roles, billing, and dashboards are part of our core work, and we have taken SaaS builds from an empty repo to a live MVP. We run our own products too, so we know where multi-tenancy, billing, and permissions tend to break in real use and design for it early.
