Web Design in Dubai

Two to three structured revision rounds are the industry standard, usually stated in the contract. Unlimited-revision promises sound generous but signal weak process — projects with no revision cap routinely stall for months. Consolidate all your feedback into each round instead of drip-feeding changes.

A content management system (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify) lets you edit text, images and posts without a developer. If you'll update content more than a few times a year — blog, menus, listings — you need one. If the site is a static business card, skipping the CMS makes the site cheaper, faster and harder to hack.

Fixed price for a defined scope (a 5-page site with listed features) protects both sides; hourly suits ongoing work and vague scopes. Standard payment structure is 30-50% deposit, remainder on launch — never pay 100% up front, and be wary of anyone who asks.

Domain renewal (a small annual fee), hosting (from a few dollars monthly for a brochure site), and optional maintenance. Maintenance retainers typically run 5-10% of the build cost per year and cover updates, backups and small edits. A static brochure site can genuinely run for years with near-zero maintenance.

Freelancers charge roughly AED 150-450/hr; 5-page corporate sites commonly run AED 5,000-20,000 and e-commerce from AED 12,000. Free-zone agencies and freelancer-permit holders both operate legally — ask which licence the vendor holds.

Legally no for most private businesses — English-only is common in Dubai. Commercially, Arabic doubles your reachable audience and matters for government-adjacent work; budget RTL design properly rather than machine-translating an English layout.
