About Sites by Joe
Hi, I'm Joe. I build websites for Singapore property agents.
Sites by Joe is me, Joe Tay. It's a one-person web studio in Singapore. I make simple, fixed-price websites for property agents, with WhatsApp as the main button.
When you message Sites by Joe, you talk to me. I'm also the one who builds your site. No hand-offs, no account manager in the middle.

Why I build for property agents and nobody else
I pick one kind of client so I can do one thing well. Every site I make starts from the same agent template. I have tested it on phones, cleaned it up and kept it simple. You get the benefit of all that work on day one.
An agent website has a short list of jobs. Show your face. Say who you help and where. Show a few listings. Make it easy to message you. That's it. A site does not need to be big to do those jobs well.
So my sites put WhatsApp first. People often check you out on their phone, straight from a chat, an ad or a name card. A WhatsApp message takes one tap. A form takes typing. The WhatsApp button sits at the top of the page and stays on screen as people scroll. A short form is there as a backup.
The scope is fixed, too. We agree the pages and features before I start. You know the price, and you know what you get. No surprise bills halfway through.
See the sample site I build from → It uses a made-up agent and sample content, so you can look around freely.
How I work
Here is what happens from your first message to launch day.
- StartYou WhatsApp meTell me your name and who you help. I reply with a few questions and suggest the smallest package that does the job.
- Day 1A 20-minute callWe agree the pages, features and schedule. You send your photo, intro and listing details.
- Day 2 to 5I build itI adapt the agent template to your content. I use AI tools to help me build faster. The target is a private preview by day 3.
- Before launchYou check the previewYou get up to two rounds of changes. Tell me what's off, and I fix it.
- Day 7Launch and handoverWe test the WhatsApp button and contact routes together. You get your domain, your site files and a 15-minute walkthrough on simple updates.
Seven days is a target, not a promise. It works when your content and approvals are ready. If you need extras, like a link to another system, we set the schedule on the first call.
How payment works
- The price is fixed and agreed before I start.
- You pay 50% to begin and 50% when the site is live.
- Not happy before launch? You don't pay the second 50%.
- Domain and hosting are separate and billed at cost, usually under S$150 a year.
- The care plan is optional, at S$98 a month. Cancel any time.

What I need from you
Not much. Most agents already have all of this on their phone.
- A clear photo of youRecent, friendly and well lit. People want to see who they will meet.
- A short introA few lines on who you help and where. Rough notes are fine. I'll tidy them up with you.
- 3 to 4 listingsPhotos, price and a line or two each. Only homes the owners have agreed you can advertise.
- Your footer detailsYour name as registered, CEA registration number, agency name and agency licence number. Agents must show these on their ads.
- Your domain, if you have oneIf not, I'll help you pick one and register it in your own name.
- About 30 minutesMostly the call at the start, plus a quick look at your preview.
Not sure what to write? My guide on what to put on your website goes through it section by section. For the footer rules, see my CEA advertising rules guide.
What I won't do
Some things look good on a website but hurt you later. I don't do them, even if asked.
- Write fake reviewsKind words on your site must come from real clients, shared with their OK. If you don't have any yet, we leave that section out.
- Make up resultsNo invented sales, prices or numbers. Your recent deals show only what really happened, labelled honestly.
- Promise you a spot on GoogleNobody can promise that. Google itself says it doesn't guarantee it will crawl, index or show any page. I get the basics right: clear titles, fast pages and a sitemap.
- Lock you inYour domain is registered in your name. Your site files are yours. If you ever leave the care plan, you take everything with you.
- Sit between you and your clientsYour WhatsApp button goes to your number. Enquiries reach you, not me.
- Hide costsYou see the full price before we start, including any yearly domain and hosting costs.
How to reach me
