Arabic and English
Many customers search in Arabic. A bilingual site has two versions with a language switch that keeps the visitor on the same page. Arabic is quoted at about 15 to 30% extra on a typical build.
A website for your small business in Dubai that brings in real enquiries.
Clear pages, Arabic and English, a WhatsApp button and a link to your Google listing. Built on WordPress so you can edit it yourself.

What a small business site needs
Fewer pages than you think, done clearly.
A small business website has one job: help a stranger decide to call you. That needs a clear first screen that says what you do and where, a list of your services with honest prices or price ranges, proof that you are real, and an easy way to contact you. Most owners do not need ten pages and an animated logo. They need five good pages that load fast on a phone.
- Home: what you do, who for, where, and one button to contact you
- Services: each one explained in plain words
- About: who you are, with real photos
- Contact: map, phone, WhatsApp, opening hours
- Optional: a few honest reviews, a short FAQ
UAE essentials
Three things that matter more here than anywhere else.
02
WhatsApp button
A floating button that opens a chat with your number and a pre-written message. Most UAE customers prefer a message to a form.
03
Google Business Profile
We link your site to your Google listing, so your map pin, hours and reviews support each other. You must own the listing; we help you claim it.
04
Fast on mobile
Most visits come from phones. We keep pages light and test on real handsets.
05
Basic search setup
Page titles, descriptions and a sitemap, written for your services and area. We do not promise rankings.
How it runs
Two to four weeks from brief to live.
The timeline depends mostly on how fast you send text and photos.
- Week 1
Brief and structure
A short call about your services, customers and area. We agree the pages and the contact route.
- Weeks 1 to 2
Design and build
A clean design on WordPress with sections you can edit. You review a private preview link.
- Weeks 2 to 3
Content, Arabic, links
Your text and photos go in, Arabic is added if included, and we connect WhatsApp, forms and your Google listing.
- Weeks 3 to 4
Test and launch
Phone and desktop checks, domain pointed, a recorded training session, and a 30-day fix window.
Your options
Template builder, freelancer or a studio.
All three can work. Here is the honest trade-off.
| DIY builder | Freelancer | Our studio | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lowest, monthly fee | Varies widely | From AED 3,950, fixed scope |
| Your time | High | Medium | Low, one brief and your content |
| Arabic done properly | Often awkward | Varies | Native reader checks it |
| You own the site | Often tied to the builder | Varies, ask in writing | Yes, accounts, code and domain |
| If the person disappears | Platform still runs | High risk | Low, shared docs and git |
| Best fit | Very small, simple, tight budget | One-off, well-known person | Owners who want it done and kept working |
Under AED 2,500 budget? A DIY builder may be the right call. We will say so.
After launch
A site needs a little care to stay safe.
WordPress is free software that needs regular updates. Skipped updates are the most common way small sites get hacked. We offer a WordPress care plan from AED 295 per month that covers updates, backups and security checks, so you do not have to think about it. It is optional, and you can also ask a freelancer or your own team to do it.
- Updates, backups and uptime checks
- Small edits by request
- Cancel with 30 days' notice
Pricing
Three levels, priced in AED.
All prices exclude 5% VAT. Under AED 20,000 we bill 50% at start and 50% at launch.

Who we are not for
When we are the wrong choice.
A fair view, so you do not pay for more than you need.
01
Budgets under about AED 2,500
A website builder such as Wix or Squarespace is fine for a simple site. Our business site starts at AED 3,950.
02
You only need your number online
A Google Business Profile and a WhatsApp link may bring the same calls for free.
03
Shops with hundreds of products
That is an online store, not a business site. See the online store page instead.

Questions
Answers before you call.
Prices are in AED and exclude 5% VAT.
Ours starts at AED 3,950 for a WordPress business site, with typical totals up to AED 12,000, excluding 5% VAT. The final figure depends on the number of pages, Arabic and any extras.
Between 2 and 4 weeks. Most delays are waiting for text and photos, so send them early.
Yes. A bilingual site costs more because every page is built and checked twice. Expect roughly 15 to 30% extra, which we quote clearly up front.
Yes, it is included in the business site. It opens a chat on your number with a pre-written message.
Yes. We add the right links and details so your site and listing agree. You need to own and verify the listing; we help you claim it if you have not.
We set up titles, descriptions and a sitemap properly, but nobody can promise rankings. Local search takes weeks to build and depends on your listing, reviews and competition.
A website does not need a separate licence, but your business must operate legally. For e-commerce or special activities, confirm with Dubai DET or your free zone.
You do. The domain, hosting account and code are in your name from the start.
