How Much Does a Website Cost in Dubai?

A business website in Dubai costs between [[CLIENT: A5]] and [[CLIENT: A6]] depending on size and complexity. A 5–10 page brochure site sits at the lower end; a custom build with integrations sits at the upper. eCommerce sites start around [[CLIENT: A7]]. Most projects take 6 to 10 weeks.

What Actually Drives the Price?

Number of Unique Page Templates

This is the single biggest factor and the one most quotes hide. A 30-page site using five templates costs far less than a 12-page site where every page is designed individually.

Custom Design vs Adapted Theme

A theme customised to your brand is quicker and cheaper. A design built from scratch costs more and looks like nobody else.

eCommerce

Products, variants, payment gateways, shipping rules, VAT handling and order management are a substantial body of work beyond the design.

Arabic

Right-to-left is a layout rebuild, not a translation. Navigation, icons, forms and spacing all change. Roughly 30–40% on top, and far cheaper decided at the start than retrofitted.

Integrations

CRM, booking systems, payment gateways, ERP, WhatsApp Business API — each one adds scope.

Content

Whether you supply copy and images or we produce them. Photography and copywriting are real line items.

Does an Expensive Website Rank Better?

No. Price and ranking are unrelated.

What makes a site rank is technical structure, page speed, content that matches what people search, and structured data. A AED 50,000 site with no heading hierarchy and no schema will lose to a AED 15,000 site that has both.

This is worth stating plainly because it is where a lot of UAE budget gets wasted — beautiful sites that were never built to be found. We include the SEO foundations in every build rather than selling them back later. See SEO agency in Dubai.

What Should You Be Suspicious Of?

AED 1,500 Websites

These are templates with your logo dropped in, usually built on a page builder with dozens of plugins, no optimisation and no support. They load slowly, they do not rank, and they cannot be extended.

"Free" Websites Bundled with Hosting

You do not own it. Leaving means starting over.

No Mention of Ownership

No mention of who owns the code and the domain. Get this in writing. It should be you.

Quotes with No Page Count

Quotes with no page count or template count. There is nothing to hold anyone to, and scope will expand.

What is Included in Our Pricing?

[[CLIENT: list what is genuinely included — e.g. design, build, basic SEO setup, mobile optimisation, contact forms, training session, warranty period]]

Not included by default: hosting, domain, stock photography, ongoing maintenance, content writing. We will quote these separately so you can see what you are paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge a deposit?

[[CLIENT: confirm payment terms]]

Are prices VAT inclusive?

[[CLIENT: C5 — state plainly and give the TRN]]

Do I own the website when it is finished?

Yes. The code, the design files, the domain and the hosting account are all yours.

What if I need changes after launch?

Every build includes a warranty period for fixes. Ongoing changes are covered by a maintenance plan from [[CLIENT: A14]] per month.

Can you work to a fixed budget?

Usually. Tell us the budget and we will tell you honestly what is achievable within it — and what is not.

How much does a website cost in Abu Dhabi or Sharjah?

The same. Our pricing is UAE-wide.
