Corporate websites and ecommerce builds, planned together rather than bolted on later.
Oliveasia.com Pte Ltd · Singapore
A Singapore web development team
We build corporate websites, ecommerce stores, and adaptive web design for businesses that need a site to do a specific job. This page covers how we work, who we work with, and what we do not do.
Where we are and why it matters
Our office sits at 336 Smith Street, #06-302, New Bridge Centre, Singapore 050336. That address is not decoration. Working hours overlap with yours, so a question asked at 10am does not wait until tomorrow. Payment and shipping norms here are familiar rather than foreign, and we understand how local customers behave at a checkout.
PayNow is a normal expectation in Singapore in a way it is not in every market. If your store takes orders from local buyers, that option belongs in the build. None of this is exotic, but it means fewer translation problems between what you ask for and what gets built.
What we focus on
Three service lines, and we stay inside them: corporate websites, ecommerce builds, and adaptive web design. That focus means we are not learning your industry's basics from scratch on every project, and we can give a straight answer about whether a request is familiar ground.
Corporate websites
Company sites where the job is credibility and clarity: what you do, who you serve, how to reach the right person. We keep the page count honest and the structure readable on a phone.
Ecommerce builds
Catalogues, product detail, cart, and checkout, with local payment options considered from the start. We work across BigCommerce, Shopify, and custom stacks, choosing by requirements rather than habit.
Adaptive web design
Layouts that hold together from a 375px phone to a wide desktop, with type, tap targets, and tables that stay readable instead of shrinking.
Platform choices — WordPress, headless CMS setups such as Contentful, BigCommerce, Shopify, or a custom build — follow the project, not the other way around. Platforms & Integrations explains how we compare them.
Every project starts as a conversation about the job the site has to do.
How we work with clients
Every project needs a named decision-maker on your side. That is not bureaucracy; it is the single biggest factor in whether a build finishes on schedule.
Communication is direct. If something is slipping, you hear it early rather than at the deadline.
-
Scope before build
We agree what the site has to accomplish, who it serves, and what is out of scope. Anything unclear at this point becomes a change later, so we settle it early.
-
Design you can click through
Our design work typically runs through Figma, which gives you something to review and comment on rather than a written description you have to imagine.
-
Build in phases with review points
Clear review points tell you when your input is needed and when we are heads-down. You are not asked to approve things you have not seen.
-
Handover and after
You get the site, the access, and an explanation of how it is put together. Ongoing work, if you want it, is handled through Support & Maintenance.
Platforms and tools we use
These are working tools, not endorsements. We will use what fits your project, and we will tell you when a simpler setup would serve you better than a heavier one.
| Tool | What it covers | When it suits a project |
|---|---|---|
| Figma | Interface design and click-through review | Most projects, so you can review screens instead of guessing from a written brief |
| Cloudflare | Caching, DNS, and protection in front of the site | Sites with traffic from several regions, or where uptime during a campaign matters |
| WordPress | Content editing and publishing | Corporate sites and catalogues where your team edits pages directly |
| Headless CMS | Content served to a website, app, or marketplace at once | Projects where the same content has to reach more than one channel |
| BigCommerce and Shopify | Product catalogue, cart, and checkout | Retailers who want a maintained commerce platform rather than a bespoke store |
Integration-heavy projects are the other side of this: a site that has to connect to a CRM, a fulfilment system, or a payment provider. That work is described in more detail on Platforms & Integrations.
Accessibility as a working standard
We build against WCAG as the baseline. In practice that covers semantic markup, keyboard navigation, contrast, and alt text — the parts that decide whether someone using a screen reader or a keyboard can actually complete a task on your site.
Where a client sells to government or large enterprise, Section 508, a U.S. federal requirement for information and communication technology, often appears in procurement checklists. Planning for these standards during design costs far less than retrofitting them after launch.
For companies pursuing larger contracts, meeting an accessibility standard is usually a commercial decision as much as an ethical one. It is one of the first things a procurement team checks.
If a tender names a standard you are unsure about, bring it to the first conversation. We will tell you plainly whether it applies and what meeting it involves.
Who we work with
Our clients range from professional services firms that need a credible corporate presence to retailers moving a catalogue online. We also take on integration-heavy projects where a site has to connect to a CRM, a fulfilment system, or a payment provider.
The common thread is a clear commercial purpose and someone internally who can make decisions. Startups and established companies both work for us on that basis; company size matters less than whether the requirements are defined well enough to scope.
What we do not do
- We are not a logo studio, a print agency, or a social media manager. Those are different crafts with different people.
- We do not sell template licences as a service. If a template is genuinely the right answer for your budget, we will say so and you can buy it yourself.
- We do not promise specific search rankings. Search performance depends on factors well beyond a build, and anyone guaranteeing positions is guessing.
- We do not publish invented case studies or testimonials. If you want a reference for a project type, we will discuss the work honestly rather than present a portfolio built to impress.
You do not need a specification document to start a conversation. You need to know what the site has to do.
Getting in touch
You can reach us by phone at 4753961158, by email at [email protected], or through the contact form on this site.
A useful first message includes what the site has to do, who it serves, and any deadline you are working toward. That is usually enough for us to tell you whether the project fits how we work.
Common questions
How long has Oliveasia been operating?
We work with clients on corporate and ecommerce projects from our Singapore base. For specifics relevant to your project type, ask us directly in your enquiry and we will answer in plain terms.
Do you work with startups or only established companies?
Both, when the project has a clear purpose and a decision-maker available. Company size matters less than whether the requirements are defined well enough to scope.
Can you work with a platform we already use?
Usually yes. Tell us what you run today and what it does not handle well. Sometimes the answer is to extend what you have rather than start again, and we will say so if that is the case.
