Most Dubai websites look good and perform poorly. As a web development agency in Dubai, we build sites that are fast, bilingual, and wired for the UAE market: Arabic RTL from the ground up, UAE payment gateways integrated natively, and Core Web Vitals scores that hold under real mobile traffic.

The UAE Market
A website built for a Western market will underperform in the UAE. As a web development agency in Dubai, we know the three technical realities that determine whether a Dubai website succeeds or gets rebuilt twelve months later.
Proper bilingual websites require right-to-left layout planning from the wireframe stage. Flexbox direction, grid alignment, icon mirroring, and typography scale all behave differently in Arabic. Developers who retrofit RTL onto an English-only codebase produce broken layouts, mixed-direction text, and Arabic content that looks like an afterthought.
Telr, PayTabs, Network International, and Tabby have distinct APIs, compliance requirements, and checkout flow conventions that UAE buyers expect. A developer unfamiliar with these gateways produces checkout experiences that erode trust and drive abandonment. Getting payment integration right is the difference between a store that converts and one that does not.
The UAE has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates globally. A site that scores below 80 on Core Web Vitals mobile is losing the majority of its visitors to slow LCP, layout shifts, and poor tap targets. Dubai buyers make decisions fast. A two-second delay on mobile is enough to send them to a competitor.
What We Build
Each sector has different requirements. Hospitality needs booking engines. Real estate needs property portals. E-commerce needs conversion-optimised checkout flows. We build accordingly.
Hotel and restaurant websites with integrated booking engines, menu management, bilingual Arabic and English content, and direct reservation flows that reduce OTA dependency.
Property portals with MLS integration, advanced search filters, virtual tour embedding, Arabic and English listings, and lead capture forms wired directly to CRM systems.
Shopify and custom e-commerce builds with Telr, PayTabs, or Network International payment gateways, Arabic product catalogues, and conversion-optimised checkout flows for UAE buyers.
Medical practice websites with online appointment booking, doctor profile pages, bilingual patient information, and HIPAA-aligned data handling for UAE healthcare regulations.
Corporate websites for law firms, consultancies, and financial services brands with case study sections, team directories, downloadable resources, and LinkedIn integration.
Marketing websites and web applications for SaaS companies, including product dashboards, onboarding flows, pricing pages, and integrations with analytics and CRM tools.
How We Build
From brief to live site in four to seven weeks depending on scope. Here is exactly how your web development agency in Dubai plans, designs, builds, and launches.
Sitemap, user flows, and technical requirements locked. CMS and hosting infrastructure selected. Arabic and English content strategy agreed. SEO structure planned before a single wireframe is drawn, not retrofitted after launch.
Desktop and mobile wireframes delivered and approved. Visual design in brand. Critically: Arabic RTL layout designed as a parallel track alongside English, not adapted after the English design is finalised. Client approval required before development begins.
Front-end build, CMS integration, UAE payment gateway setup, Arabic RTL implementation, and all third-party integrations. Staging environment live for client review at the 80% mark. No surprises at launch.
Cross-browser and cross-device testing. Core Web Vitals audit with fixes. Technical SEO: sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, schema markup, Google Search Console setup. Staged launch with rollback plan. Handover includes CMS training and documentation.
Project Scope
No hidden extras after sign-off. Every Percee Dubai web development project covers all three tracks from day one.

Why Percee
Most web agencies in Dubai hand over a finished site and end the relationship. We are a web development agency in Dubai that builds sites designed to rank, convert, and scale, then runs the marketing on top.
One agency. Design, build, SEO, paid media, social. No briefing a second team on what the first one built.
URL structure, internal linking, and content hierarchy are planned with ranking in mind before design begins. SEO is not bolted on after launch.
Not a CSS direction flip. Our Arabic layouts are designed and tested by native Arabic readers, not adapted from English designs with a plugin.
Telr, PayTabs, Network International, and Tabby integrated natively. We have done this before and know where the compliance and UX pitfalls are.
After launch we can run SEO, PPC, and social on the site we built. No handoff friction. The team that built the technical foundation runs the growth campaigns.
FAQ
If your question is not answered here, our team will get back to you within one business day.
Ask us anything arrow_forwardA standard corporate or service website typically takes four to six weeks from kickoff to launch. E-commerce stores with custom functionality take six to ten weeks. Bilingual Arabic and English builds add approximately one week for proper RTL implementation. Timelines lengthen significantly when client content, approvals, or feedback are delayed. The fastest builds are the ones where the client is responsive throughout.
A professional corporate website typically starts at AED 15,000 to 30,000. E-commerce stores with UAE payment gateway integration start at AED 25,000 to 50,000. Custom web applications are priced by scope after a discovery session. The most common mistake is buying the cheapest option and spending more to fix it twelve months later. We scope projects honestly and build them to last.
A single bilingual website is almost always the right approach. Separate domains split SEO authority, double hosting and maintenance costs, and create content consistency problems over time. A properly built bilingual site with Arabic RTL support serves both audiences from one codebase and one SEO foundation. The key is building Arabic support into the architecture from the start.
It depends on the use case. For marketing and corporate sites, we recommend headless CMS setups (Sanity, Contentful) or WordPress for clients who need editorial control. For e-commerce, Shopify handles most UAE retail requirements well with the right theme architecture. For complex portals or custom applications, we build on modern frameworks without a traditional CMS. We recommend based on your team's technical capability and long-term maintenance needs.
Yes. We have integrated Telr, PayTabs, Network International, and Tabby across multiple Dubai e-commerce builds. UAE payment gateway integration is different from Stripe or PayPal: different APIs, compliance documentation requirements, and checkout conventions that UAE buyers expect. We handle the full integration including sandbox testing and go-live coordination with the gateway provider.
Technical SEO is built into every website we deliver. This includes proper URL structure, XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, structured data markup, page speed optimisation targeting Core Web Vitals thresholds, and Google Search Console setup at launch. We work with our SEO team from the architecture phase to ensure structure and content hierarchy align with ranking goals. A well-built site is the foundation. Ongoing SEO then builds on top of it.
