The verdict in three sentences
For a 40-hectare dry port and logistics park with 25 warehouses to lease, a website in three languages (English, Chinese and Malay for Singapore, French, English and Chinese for an Abidjan site) costs SGD 12,000 to 24,000 in 2026, about 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 FCFA. The item that makes the difference is the interactive map of available lots (SGD 3,000 to 6,000), because it turns a visit into a site tour request. Allow 10 to 13 weeks, professional translations at SGD 1,200 to 2,400 and CDN hosting at SGD 60 to 140 per month to load fast from Shanghai, Jakarta or Rotterdam.
Three audiences, three journeys on one site
A regional shipper, an international 3PL and an infrastructure fund are not looking for the same thing. The site must route them from the home page to a dedicated journey, with verifiable figures: distance to the container terminals, links to regional road and rail corridors, floor areas, clear height, customs status.
| Audience | Key question | Expected content | Priority language |

| Shippers and importers | What does a warehouse cost, when is it free? | Lot map, areas, indicative rents | English |
| International logistics providers | How is it connected to the port and corridors? | Flow map, transit times, customs services | English |
| Investors and funds | What yield, what legal framework? | Data room, occupancy rate, expansion phases | English |
| Chinese manufacturers and traders | What set-up support is available? | Zone sheet, incentives, contacts | Chinese |
| Authorities and partners | What economic impact? | Jobs, traffic figures, news | Malay and English |

The interactive lot map: the feature that generates site tours
A static PDF map forces prospects to call to find out what is available. An interactive map shows all 25 warehouses with status, floor area (for example 2,000 to 8,000 m²), clear height, number of loading docks and a tour request button. The sales team updates statuses from a simple back office, without a developer.
| Map feature | Basic version | Advanced version |
|---|---|---|
| Lot status | Free, reserved, leased | Forecast availability date |
| Warehouse sheet | Area, docks, height | 360° tour and technical drawings |
| Filter | By area | By area, use, cold chain, bonded |
| Tour request | Form | Appointment booking and WhatsApp |
| Languages | 2 languages | 3 languages |
| Budget | SGD 3,000 | SGD 6,000 |
For Chinese, use Simplified Chinese proofread by a logistics professional, and test access speed from mainland China: some fonts and map services blocked there slow down or break the page.
Mini case study
Mr. Tan, business development director of a logistics park, used to lease warehouses through his network and trade shows. He invests SGD 19,000 in a trilingual site with the advanced interactive map, plus SGD 100 per month for CDN hosting. The indicative rent for a 4,000 m² warehouse is SGD 1.60 per square foot per month, about SGD 69,000 per month. If the site lets him lease a single warehouse 3 months earlier than planned, the rent gained reaches about SGD 207,000, more than ten times the project cost. Over 12 months, with 18 qualified tour requests, the goal is to sign 2 leases, or 25% of the remaining vacant space. For the Abidjan equivalent, the same logic holds: a 9,500,000 FCFA site against 14,000,000 FCFA of monthly rent per warehouse.

FAQ
How much does a trilingual logistics zone website cost in 2026?
Allow SGD 12,000 to 24,000 in Singapore, or 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 FCFA in Abidjan, depending on the interactive map and page count. A bilingual site without an interactive map starts around SGD 7,000.
Is a Chinese version really useful?
Yes if you target Chinese manufacturers or traders, a major share of regional trade flows. Translation costs SGD 600 to 1,200 for 20 to 30 pages.
How long does it take to go live?
The project takes 10 to 13 weeks, including 2 to 3 weeks for translations and proofreading. Drone shoots are scheduled from week 2.
Why CDN hosting?
Your visitors come from across Asia and Europe: a CDN serves pages from the nearest server. It costs SGD 60 to 140 per month including maintenance.
Can we update warehouse availability ourselves?
Yes, from a back office: changing a lot status takes under a minute. A 2-hour training session is included.
Let's scope your project. Share your site area, lot count and target audiences: we will price the trilingual website, the interactive map and the launch schedule. Detailed quote within 48 h. WhatsApp +221 77 596 93 33 or request a quote.
