What a website actually costs in Dubai
Why quotes for the same brief differ by a factor of ten, what drives the number, and the cheap option that costs more within two years.

The spec, before the quote
Most web design proposals in this city describe a look. Ours describes a build: how fast it loads on a phone on 4G, how many screen widths it was tested at, whether a screen reader can use it, and who owns it when we are finished.
These go in the contract. If a build misses the load time or the Lighthouse number at handover, we fix it before you pay the final invoice.
Six kinds of project. Each page says what is included, what it takes, and the questions worth asking any studio before you commit.
01 / Design
Structure decided by what a visitor needs before enquiring, then a visual system that holds together on every page rather than only on the homepage.
What is included02 / Build
Hand-built front end, a CMS your team can actually use, and tracking configured before launch rather than reconstructed three months later.
What is included03 / Commerce
Shopify, WooCommerce or custom. Catalogue structure, checkout friction, payment gateways that work in the UAE, and a product feed that stays clean.
What is included04 / Rescue
The job most likely to go wrong. Redirect map before launch, rankings monitored after, and the parts that already work left alone.
What is included05 / Campaign
One page, one promise, one action. Built for a specific campaign and measured against it, not adapted from the homepage.
What is included06 / Care
Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and a named person who answers. The cheapest line in the budget and the first one everybody cuts.
What is included
Four stages. You see working pages from week two, not a slide deck in week six.
STAGE 01
What the site has to achieve, which pages carry it, and what happens to the content and rankings you already have. Written down before anything is designed.
STAGE 02
Key pages built as real, responsive HTML you can open on your own phone. Static mockups hide every problem that matters.
STAGE 03
Templates, CMS, forms, tracking and bilingual handling. Content loaded properly rather than pasted in on launch day.
STAGE 04
Redirects verified, speed measured against the spec, then a month of monitoring while search engines recrawl.
Not extras. If any of these is a line item on a quote you receive elsewhere, ask why.
Measured during the build on real UAE mobile connections, not optimised afterwards when the design is already too heavy to fix.
Keyboard navigation, visible focus, colour contrast checked against the actual palette, and alt text written by a person. It is also the law for a growing number of UAE entities.
Right-to-left support at the template level rather than a plugin bolted on, with fonts that work in both scripts.
Delivery confirmed on real devices, spam handling in place, and a fallback when the mail server misbehaves. A silent form is the most expensive bug a site can have.
Conversion events defined while the site is being built, so your campaign data starts clean instead of being reconstructed in month three.
Repository, hosting, domain and CMS in your name, plus a short recorded walkthrough so the next developer does not start from nothing.

Right-to-left is not a switch. What actually has to change in the layout, the type, the forms and the URLs, and what it does to your SEO.
