Which path fits your business?
Both are legitimate. The right one depends on what you actually need the site to do.
A DIY builder
Wix / SquarespaceThe fastest way to get something live. Works well if you need a simple, single-page presence and don't yet need deep Arabic support, fast load times, or booking/listing features that affect revenue.
A HexWeb build
Recommended for SMEHand-coded for sub-2-second load, genuine Arabic/RTL, manual SEO, and features built for your specific vertical — real estate, clinics, restaurants, or retail. Worth it once speed, bilingual quality, or your conversion rate start to matter to revenue.

Each industry has its own page with what's included — see "Built for your industry" below. For a general build, see our web design service for small businesses.
More pages, more cost
A 5-page brochure site costs less than a 15-page catalog or multi-listing real estate site.
Custom vs. template-based
A fully custom, hand-coded design costs more than adapting one of our existing vertical templates — but loads faster and ranks better.
Genuine EN/AR bilingual
Proper RTL layout and Arabic typography adds development time versus an English-only site.
Booking, listings, or a menu system
Interactive features like a reservation flow, property listings, or a product catalog add build time beyond a static brochure site.
Copywriting & photography
Bring your own text and images to keep costs down, or add professional copywriting and photography as an add-on.
One build, or ongoing updates
The prices above are one-time build costs. Ongoing content updates, security patches, or new features are billed separately or covered by an optional maintenance plan.

What's included in every build
No surprise line items. This is what you get whether you choose a brochure site or a full vertical build.
Hand-coded, not templated
No page-builder plugin bloat — every page is built for its specific content, which is also why load times stay under 2 seconds.
Manual on-page SEO
Title tags, meta descriptions, and schema markup written by hand for each page — no Yoast or RankMath, so nothing is left on a generic default.
Real Arabic, not a translate plugin
Full RTL layout and Arabic typography built into the template itself, on every page — not toggled on top of an English design.
Domain & hosting setup
We help get the site live end to end — you're not handed a zip file and left to figure out hosting yourself.
You keep the keys
Full login access and documentation once the project is complete — there's no lock-in to keep using us.
Common questions
Most SME sites in Dubai run AED 4,000–20,000, depending on complexity and whether the build needs industry features like listings, booking, or a menu system.
DIY works for a simple single-page presence, fast. An agency build earns its cost once load speed, genuine Arabic/RTL, or vertical features start to matter to revenue.
Proper RTL flow, Arabic typography, and content structure — not a translation plugin bolted onto an English template.
A small business site: 2–4 weeks. Industry builds with listings, booking, or catalog features: 3–5 weeks.
Clinic sites start from AED 5,000 and include DHA/MOHAP-aware structure, credential display, and compliant booking — see our dedicated clinic website page for specifics.
A standard brochure site works if you just need a professional presence. A vertical build is worth it once you need listings, a booking flow, a menu, or a product catalog to actually do work for you — see the live templates above for each industry.
The quoted price is the one-time build, plus we help get your domain and hosting set up so the site actually goes live. Ongoing updates and maintenance are available separately — see "What's included in every build" above.
Yes. You get full login access and handover documentation, so simple content updates don't require coming back to us — though we're available for anything bigger.
