The verdict in three sentences
The executive education site of a Singapore business school selling 45 short programmes costs 45,000 to 90,000 SGD in 2026, because it must run a live catalogue (sessions, venues, open and custom formats) and speak to two buyers: the HR or L&D head and the executive who enrols. The Salesforce connector (9,000 to 18,000 SGD) is the most profitable line, because it turns every enquiry into a tracked opportunity. With an average spend of 5,000 to 13,000 SGD per participant, a few extra enrolments a month pay for the project.
Two buyers, two journeys
An executive looking at a "Leading Digital Transformation" programme wants the content, the next session date, the format (on campus, hybrid, partner campus in the region) and how to get funding. The L&D head wants a custom programme for 20 managers across Southeast Asia, with a named contact, sector references and a proposal within 10 days.
On most school sites, both journeys are mixed in a PDF brochure or a generic contact page. The result is unqualified enquiries and L&D heads who move to a clearer competitor. The right architecture separates "Enrol" (open programmes) from "Design a programme for my organisation" (custom), with different forms and different routing in the CRM.
| Component | Audience | Budget range 2026 (SGD, before GST) |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture, UX and design | All | 10,500 to 18,000 |
| Catalogue of 45 programmes with sessions | Executives, L&D | 9,000 to 18,000 |
| Funding module (SkillsFuture, company sponsorship) | Executives, L&D | 3,000 to 6,500 |
| Custom programme journey and qualified form | L&D | 3,700 to 7,500 |
| Salesforce CRM connector | Sales team | 9,000 to 18,000 |
| Regional landing pages (Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City) | International clients | 5,000 to 12,000 |
| Testing, WCAG accessibility, training | Internal team | 4,000 to 9,000 |
Unlike the Paris case, the second language is less pressing, so the budget shifts to regional pages for clients across ASEAN.
The funding module: the argument competitors bury
In Singapore, "who pays?" is the first question, and SkillsFuture makes the answer attractive. Programmes accredited by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) can receive course fee subsidies, typically 50% of fees for Singapore citizens and PRs, rising to up to 70% under the Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy for citizens aged 40 and above, with enhanced support for SME-sponsored employees. Citizens can also use SkillsFuture Credit, including the additional mid-career top-up. Each programme page should state its eligibility, show the net fee after subsidy and let HR download a quotation in the company's name.
| Funding route | Who it serves | What the site must provide |
|---|---|---|
| SSG course fee subsidy | Citizens and PRs on accredited courses | Course reference, net fee table |
| Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy | Citizens aged 40 and above | Clear eligibility note and net fee |
| SkillsFuture Credit | Individual citizens | Link to the MySkillsFuture course listing |
| Company sponsorship (SME support) | SME-sponsored staff | Quotation PDF, absentee payroll guidance |
| Self-funded | Foreigners, career changers | Instalment payment, invoice |
| Custom in-company programme | Organisations with 10+ participants | Scoping form, call back within 48 h |
CRM, timeline and measurement
The Salesforce connector creates a lead or opportunity depending on the form, links it to the existing account, passes the target programme and session, and triggers a follow-up if nothing happens within 48 hours. Above all, it shows which pages and campaigns produce revenue, not just clicks. Allow 16 to 20 weeks: 3 weeks of scoping with academic and sales leadership, 4 weeks of design, 7 to 9 weeks of build and catalogue migration, 2 to 4 weeks of testing and training.
Mini case study
Mei Ling, director of executive education at a Singapore business school, generates 6.5 million SGD a year across 45 programmes. The current site produces 90 enquiries a month, only a third of which are handled within 48 hours because of poor routing.

She invests 72,000 SGD, Salesforce connector included. Enquiries handled within 48 hours rise to 95%, and open-programme conversion improves from 14% to 19%. On 70 open-programme enquiries a month, that is 3.5 extra enrolments at an average 7,200 SGD, or 25,200 SGD a month. On the custom side, one extra engagement per quarter at 70,000 SGD adds about 23,300 SGD a month. With 48,500 SGD of extra monthly revenue, the project is covered in under two months of additional income.
FAQ
Why does an executive education site cost this much?
Because it runs a live catalogue of dozens of programmes with sessions, funding rules and two buying journeys. Between 45,000 and 90,000 SGD is the 2026 norm for a school of this size.
Is the Salesforce connector essential?
If your sales team already uses Salesforce, yes. For 9,000 to 18,000 SGD, it removes double entry and lets you measure real revenue per programme and campaign.
Should programme fees be shown?
For open programmes, yes, ideally with the net fee after subsidy: a missing price loses 20 to 30% of enquiries. For custom programmes, a range and a scoping form are enough.
How should SkillsFuture funding be presented?
On every programme page, with an eligibility badge and a table of net fees by profile (citizen, citizen 40 and above, PR, foreigner). HR teams ask for this first.
How long does the project take?
Sixteen to 20 weeks, with catalogue migration and academic sign-off as the longest steps.
