Web design in the UAE, in English and Arabic
Websites designed, built and optimised by one person in Abu Dhabi, so that Google indexes them, AI assistants quote them and visitors get in touch.
Websites from AED 3,400. Five pages from AED 6,500 in English, AED 6,800 in English and Arabic. Twelve pages with a CMS from AED 12,750.
Web design for UAE businesses that need to be found
A website in the UAE has two jobs. It has to make a good first impression on someone who has never heard of you, and it has to be easy for Google and AI assistants to read. Most sites do one of the two.
I design and build both into the same project. The layout, the copy, the page speed and the technical SEO are decided together, by the same person, from the first sketch in Figma to the day the site goes live. Nothing is handed from a designer to a developer to an SEO consultant, so nothing gets lost on the way.
Web design by city and by language
Search works differently in each emirate, and in each language. That is why each one has its own page here.

I also work with businesses in Sharjah, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah.
The platform that fits the business, not the other way round
I build on four platforms and recommend one after I understand how you will use the site.
- WordPress: the right choice when you publish often, need many page types or already have a team that knows it.
- Webflow: fast marketing sites with a clean editor, good for service businesses that want to change text and images without a developer.
- Shopify: online shops, with payment, stock and delivery handled by the platform.
- Framer: landing pages and small sites that need to launch quickly.
Whichever one we choose, you own the site. I hand over every account at launch.
How a project runs, from brief to launch
- Free audit and brief. I look at your current site, your competitors and what people search for. You tell me what a good enquiry looks like.
- Structure and copy. One page list, one keyword per page, and the text written in English and, if you need it, in Arabic from the same brief.
- Design in Figma. You see the real pages on desktop and mobile before anything is built.
- Build and test. Speed, forms, tracking and schema are checked on a private link.
- Launch and handover. The site goes live, Search Console and analytics are connected, and the accounts are yours.
A five page site takes about ten working days.
Custom design or a template?
A template is quicker on day one and slower every day after. It carries code for features you never use, which hurts page speed, and it looks like the other sites built on it.
Every ATHAR site is designed for the business it belongs to. That means only the code the pages need, a layout that mirrors properly in Arabic, and a structure planned around the searches you want to appear for. You get a site that is easier to rank, easier to edit and harder to confuse with a competitor.
What every website build includes
- Custom design, mobile first
- Copy written for your customers and for search
- Technical SEO, schema and clean indexing
- Core Web Vitals checked before launch
- Lead form and WhatsApp button
- Analytics and Search Console set up
- Full ownership and handover of every account
Web design in the UAE: questions
How much does a website cost in the UAE?
A single landing page in English costs AED 3,400. A five page site costs AED 6,500 in English or AED 6,800 in English and Arabic. A twelve page site with a CMS costs AED 12,750 in English or AED 15,300 in both languages. Larger platforms with ecommerce or booking start from AED 28,000. Every price is on the pricing page.
How long does it take to build a website?
A five page site takes about ten working days from the approved brief. Larger sites take longer because there is more to write and test. I give you a launch date before we start, and the timeline depends mostly on how quickly content and feedback come back.
Is SEO included in the web design?
Yes. Every build includes on-page SEO, schema, clean indexing and Core Web Vitals checks. Ongoing work such as content, local SEO and AI search visibility is a separate monthly SEO plan, and the setup fee is waived if I built your site.
Can you build the site in Arabic and English?
Yes. I write both versions from the same brief. The Arabic version has its own mirrored right-to-left layout and an Arabic typeface, and the two versions are linked with hreflang so Google shows the right one to each reader.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. I start with a free audit so we know which pages already bring visitors and must be protected. Pages that rank keep their addresses, or are redirected one by one, so the redesign does not cost you the traffic you already have.
What happens after launch?
You own the site and every account. You can stay on a monthly plan for search and AI visibility, or leave it as it is and message me when you need changes.
Planning a new website?
Send me your current site and I will tell you what to keep, what to fix and what it would cost. Reply within four working hours.
