Questions you're probably asking
Kopi & Code is registered with ACRA, UEN 53527300B — you can look it up on BizFile yourself, it takes thirty seconds. I'll meet you at your stall. Half the payment only comes after you've seen the site working.
Yes. All of it. The domain is registered in your name, the files are yours, your Google profile stays in your account. I don't hold anything hostage.
No. The site is built so it costs almost nothing to keep online. You'll pay for the domain once a year — around S$20 — direct to the registrar, not to me. There are optional plans if you want me handling changes for you, but the site never needs one to keep running.
There isn't one. It's the same website. Hawkers get a lower price because I'd rather build for hawkers, and the standard rate covers it. You just need a valid licence.
Small fixes — a price, opening hours, a phone number, a typo, or the new photo and words when you change a dish — are S$8 each: WhatsApp me the change and pay by PayNow. If you're a licensed hawker or HDB coffee-shop stall with one or two outlets, S$30 a month covers unlimited small fixes — same eligibility as the S$480 rate, cancel anytime. A round of changes — new photos, reworded sections, things moved around — is S$80, one list, done in one go. Three rounds a month plus unlimited small fixes is the S$150 plan, for shops that change things often. Anything structural — a new page, a menu rebuilt from scratch — gets one fixed price before I start, never hourly, never a surprise. And anything I got wrong myself, I fix free.
The site doesn't need me. There's no server to maintain and no software subscription to lapse — it's built to keep working on its own. You own the domain, the files and every account. If you ever want someone else to work on it, any developer can pick it up, and I'll hand over whatever they ask for.
Yes — S$120 per extra language. I build the structure and lay out every version. For the translation itself, you or someone you trust should write it or check it. I'm not going to pretend I can write good Tamil. You can still WhatsApp me in any language, though — me and my translation tools will manage.
Facebook is good for people who already follow you. A website is for the ones who don't — the person searching "dim sum near me" at 11am, or the office worker checking whether you're open before they walk over. It also means your menu and your hours are somewhere you control, not somewhere an algorithm decides who sees.
Kopi & Code started in 2026. I've been building websites for longer than that, but I'm not going to inflate a track record — that's exactly what the agencies cold-calling you do. Look at the work and judge it yourself.
