The short answer

In Dubai a small business website costs about 1,000 to 8,000 AED with a freelancer or small studio and 15,000 AED and up with an agency, according to the price guides published by Dubai web studios this year.

Our fixed options are 2,900 AED, 5,900 AED (recommended) and 9,900 AED, net. Custom projects start from 15,000 AED.

01 / The market

Where Dubai prices sit, on one ruler

Ask five companies in Dubai for a website quote and you can get answers from 1,200 to 145,000 AED. Both numbers are real. The gap is not about honesty, it is about two different markets selling under the same name. Freelancers and small studios build on templates and charge roughly 1,000 to 8,000 AED. Agencies with account managers, strategy workshops and bespoke design start at about 15,000 AED and go well past 50,000 for corporate sites. The middle of the entry-level quotes we collected is about 9,500 AED.

We price between the two. The work is closer to agency work (service pages planned around search terms, structured data, call tracking), but there is no office overhead to cover, because the team works remotely from Europe.

02 / What you pay for

Seven things that move a website quote in Dubai

When two quotes differ by ten times, one of these lines is usually the reason. Read them before you compare offers, and ask every supplier how each one is handled.

  1. Number of pagesEach service, location or product group deserves its own page if you want it found in Google. Three pages and fifteen pages are different projects.Start up to 3, Business up to 7, Growth up to 15
  2. LanguagesEvery language is a second site to write, check and keep in sync. Many Dubai agencies quote English and Arabic together.English, plus Polish on Business. We do not offer Arabic
  3. Who writes the copyWriting the text for 7 service pages is often more work than the design. Ask whether the price includes it or assumes you send texts.Agreed in the proposal
  4. Template or custom designA template is faster and cheaper. A custom layout costs more but fits your services instead of the other way round.Custom layout from Business up
  5. IntegrationsA WhatsApp button is simple. A booking calendar, a CRM or a property feed adds hours and testing.CRM or booking on Growth
  6. Search work at launchPage titles, service pages built around real search terms, structured data and a Google Business Profile decide whether anyone finds the site.Basic SEO from Start, structured data from Business
  7. Running costsDomain, hosting, updates, backups and small changes continue after launch. Some quotes hide them, some bundle them for a year.Care from 450 AED a month

04 / Example scopes

Three businesses, three different budgets

These are example scopes written for this page, not client projects. They show how the same question gets three honest answers.

A new café opening in a community mall

One page with the menu, opening hours, a map, photos and a WhatsApp button for group bookings. The owner wants to be on Google Maps before opening day and sends the texts and photos.

AED2,900

A home maintenance company covering Dubai and Sharjah

Seven pages: AC servicing, plumbing, electrical, painting, annual contracts, about, contact. Each service page answers price and area questions, clicks on the phone number and WhatsApp are measured, the Google Business Profile is linked.

AED5,900

A business setup consultancy

Fifteen pages: free zone and mainland setup, visas, bank account help, a cost calculator page, a blog for guides, and enquiries sent straight to the CRM. Search is expected to bring leads every month.

AED9,900

05 / After launch

What a website costs per month after it goes live

The build is a one-off cost. Running a site is not. Plan for these, whoever builds it:

Domain. A .com or .ae domain is registered in your name and paid to the registrar each year. For .ae domains the registrar asks for UAE trade licence details. Keep the login yourself.

Hosting. Paid to the hosting company, in your name if possible. We recommend a provider that fits the site and its traffic.

Care. Updates, backups and monitoring: 450 AED a month on Start, 900 AED with 2 hours of changes and a report, 1,500 AED with 5 hours of changes and speed work.

Visibility. A site nobody searches for brings nothing. If search is your channel, local SEO starts at 1,900 AED a month. If you need leads next week, Google Ads management starts at 1,900 AED a month plus your ad budget.

08 / Questions

Questions people ask before they buy

How much does a website cost in Dubai?

A small business website costs about 1,000 to 8,000 AED with a freelancer or small studio and from about 15,000 AED with an agency. Our options are 2,900 AED, 5,900 AED and 9,900 AED net, and custom projects start from 15,000 AED.

Why do quotes for the same website differ so much?

Usually because of the number of pages, languages, who writes the copy, custom design and integrations. Ask each supplier how they handle those five things and the quotes become comparable.

How much does a website cost per month after launch?

Plan for the domain and hosting, paid to their providers, plus care if you want updates and backups handled. Our care plans are 450 AED, 900 AED or 1,500 AED a month, net.

Do you build websites in Arabic?

No. We build in English and, on request, Polish. If your site needs Arabic, tell us on the first call and we will say honestly whether we are the right fit.

How long does it take to build a business website?

It depends on the number of pages and how quickly texts and photos are ready. We agree the scope first and then write the date into the contract.

Do the prices include VAT? Can I pay in instalments?

Prices are net. VAT at 5% is added where it applies, in line with the regulations. Payment can be split into instalments as set out in the contract.
