Company websites
Fast, bilingual WordPress sites with custom blocks, so your team edits text and pages without breaking the layout.
Web development in Dubai from a fast company site to a full web app.
Design decides how a site looks. Development decides whether it loads in a second, takes payments, talks to your other systems and still works in three years. We do both, with the same team.

What web development covers
Everything between the design and a site that works
A web developer turns a design into pages that load fast on a phone, connects the site to forms, payments, bookings and your CRM, and keeps it secure and editable. When the job grows beyond pages, development becomes software: a portal where customers log in, a quote builder, a dashboard for your team. We scope which of these you need before anyone writes code, because the right answer is often simpler than the brief.
- Business websites on WordPress your team can edit
- Custom-coded sites in Next.js when speed and control matter
- Customer portals, booking systems and quote builders
- Integrations with CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways and WhatsApp

06
Rescue and speed work
Slow, hacked or half-finished sites audited and fixed, with a written report of what we changed.
Choosing how to build
Website builder, WordPress or custom code?
We build with WordPress and custom code, so we recommend whichever is cheaper for you to own.
| Your situation | Builder (Wix, Squarespace) | WordPress | Custom code (Next.js) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A simple site you will run alone | Good fit | Fine | Too much |
| A team that edits often | Limited | Best fit | Needs a CMS |
| Top speed and unusual design | Hard | Possible | Best fit |
| Logins, dashboards, portals | No | With plugins, carefully | Best fit |
| Integrations with your systems | Very limited | Good | Best fit |
| Typical start price with us | We are not the right choice | AED 3,950 | AED 12,450 |
If a builder is the better answer for your budget, we will say so on the first call.

Process
How a web development project runs
Fixed scope and fixed price before we start. A staging link from the first week.
- Week 1
Scope
We list pages, features and integrations, agree what is out of scope, and fix the price.
- Weeks 1 to 2
Design or prototype
Key screens in desktop and mobile, or a clickable prototype for web apps.
- Weeks 2 to 12
Build in stages
Work shipped to staging every week, so you test real pages instead of waiting for a big reveal.
- Before launch
Test
Speed, mobile, forms, payments, security headers and redirects from your old URLs.
- Launch
Go live and hand over
Launch at a quiet hour, documentation, access to everything and a 30-day fix window.
Who we are not for
When another option is the better call.
01
Sites under about AED 2,500
A website builder or a freelancer will serve you better than a studio.
02
Hourly developers for hire
We work to fixed scopes, not as staff augmentation billed by the hour.
03
Clones of a big platform
If the brief is a copy of Uber or Amazon on a small budget, we will help you find the smaller first version instead.
04
Projects without an owner
Someone on your side needs to answer questions and approve work each week.
Pricing

Questions
Answers before you call.
Prices are in AED and exclude 5% VAT.
With us, a WordPress business site starts at AED 3,950, a custom-coded site at AED 12,450 and a web app or portal at AED 29,500, all excluding 5% VAT. Market prices range widely, so compare scope, Arabic, testing and who owns the code.
Design decides layout, look and the path a visitor takes. Development builds it: code, speed, forms, payments, integrations and security. We do both, so nothing is lost between a designer and a separate developer.
Both. WordPress suits company sites your team edits often. Custom code in Next.js suits high-performance sites, portals and web apps. We recommend the cheaper option to own, not the one we prefer to build.
Yes. Domains, hosting, analytics and code repositories are set up in your name or transferred to you at launch.
Yes. We regularly connect sites to Zoho, HubSpot, Odoo, payment gateways and WhatsApp. If your system has an API, we can usually connect it.
Often, yes. We start with a short audit of the code and hosting, then tell you whether to fix, rebuild or leave it alone.
Yes. We build right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and a language switch that opens the matching page.
