Ask five Dubai agencies for a website price and you will get five numbers that are hard to compare. One includes hosting, one includes Arabic, one quotes a template and one quotes a custom build.
Here is what actually changes the price, and what we charge.
Our UAE prices
All prices are in dirhams.
| Package | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | AED 2,500 | Up to 5 pages in English, an enquiry form and WhatsApp |
| Business | AED 4,900 | Up to 10 pages, a blog and tracking |
| Growth | AED 8,900 | 15 or more pages, a custom design and a keyword plan |
| Online shop | from AED 6,900 | Shopify or WooCommerce, payments and delivery |
Care starts at AED 199 a month and covers hosting, backups and updates. The full list is on the Gulf price list.
You own the website and the domain in every case.
What changes the price
The number of pages. A five-page site for a new service business is a different job from a 25-page site with a page for every service and every sector.
Custom design or a template. A template is cheaper and faster. A custom design takes longer and costs more, and it is worth it when you compete with many similar businesses, which in Dubai is most of them.
A shop. Products, variants, offers, delivery zones and the payment gateway all take time. A 20-product shop and a 1,000-product shop are priced very differently.
Arabic. A proper Arabic version needs a right-to-left layout and a professional translator. We quote it separately. If someone includes Arabic for almost nothing, ask who is writing it. Read more on Arabic and English websites.
Ongoing work. Hosting, updates, small changes and SEO are monthly costs. Ask whether they are in the build price or on top.
What to check in any quote
- Is the price fixed, or an estimate that can grow?
- How many rounds of changes are included?
- Who owns the domain, the hosting account and the files?
- What happens if you want to leave after a year?
- Can you see two or three sites they actually built, that are still live?
- Who will you talk to during the project, and how?
Where we fit
We are a small studio in Sri Lanka, not a Dubai office. You get a published price, a written quote before you pay, and a person on WhatsApp. Sri Lanka is 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE, so most of the working day overlaps.
Our Gulf project so far is Street 55, a shop in Qatar. See web design in Dubai, web design in Abu Dhabi, or message us for a quote.
