Web design Abu Dhabi: one designer, based here
I design, build and optimise websites in English and Arabic, and I live in the city, so we can sit at the same table before anything is drawn.
One landing page: AED 3,400. Five pages: AED 6,500 in English, AED 6,800 in English and Arabic. Twelve pages with a CMS: AED 12,750 in English, AED 15,300 in both languages. Larger platforms from AED 28,000.
Why Abu Dhabi is its own market
Buyers in the capital do not behave like buyers in Dubai. Decisions take longer. A supplier is often checked by a procurement officer, a manager and an owner before anyone picks up the phone, and each of them opens the website looking for something different.
So the site has to answer more than one reader. It needs clear business details for the person doing the checks, plain service pages for the person with the problem, and an Arabic version for the person who signs. That holds for an ADGM entity and for a mainland business, for a government supplier and for a family firm in its second generation.
Whether your office is on Al Reem Island, in Khalifa City, in Mussafah or in Al Ain, a first meeting across a table often settles what a week of email cannot.
Arabic search in Abu Dhabi
Many people here search in Arabic, including people who speak good English at work. A patient looking for a clinic, a family choosing a contractor or an officer checking a supplier may type the question in Arabic, and Google looks for Arabic pages to answer it.
An English-only site is absent from those searches. A site run through a translation plugin is present, but it reads badly, and readers notice within a line.
I write the Arabic from the same brief as the English. It gets its own mirrored right-to-left layout, its own typeface and its own keyword research, because people do not search with translated words. The two versions sit on separate addresses linked with hreflang, so each reader is shown the right one. The detail is on the Arabic web design page.
What web design Abu Dhabi packages include, price by price
Every package has a published price, which helps when a quote has to pass through several approvals.
- Signal, AED 3,400: one landing page in English, with a lead form, WhatsApp, on-page SEO and schema.
- Launch, AED 6,500: up to five pages in about ten working days, with technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, lead capture and tracking, analytics and Search Console setup. AED 6,800 in English and Arabic.
- Growth, AED 12,750: up to twelve pages with a blog or CMS, industry and city pages, schema, analytics and AI visibility setup. AED 15,300 in both languages.
- Authority, from AED 28,000: bilingual platforms, ecommerce or booking, with three months of SEO included. Quoted per project.
The packages are set side by side on the pricing page.
How a project runs when several people approve it
- Free audit and first meeting. I review your current site and what people search for. Then we meet, in person if you prefer.
- Page list and copy. One page list, one keyword per page, and the text in both languages. This is the document you circulate for approval.
- Design in Figma. Every approver sees the real pages on desktop and mobile through one link, and comments in one place.
- Build and test. Speed, forms, tracking and schema are checked on a private link.
- Launch and handover. The site goes live and every account is handed over to you.
A five page site takes about ten working days from the approved brief. When more people sign off, I plan the review rounds into the timeline from the start.
Industries, and what each site has to do
Clinics
A patient wants to find the right doctor or treatment, see where you are and book or send a message. The site has to make that possible in a couple of taps, in either language.
Contractors and maintenance
The site has to show what you do, which areas you cover and how to reach you quickly. One page per service, and a WhatsApp button that works from a phone on site.
Real estate
Property pages have to open quickly, keep photographs sharp and put an enquiry form next to every listing.
Professional services
Law, accounting and consulting firms are judged on clarity. The site has to say who you are, what you handle and who the reader will speak to.

Web design in Abu Dhabi: questions
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I am based in Abu Dhabi and can come to your office for the first meeting and for the design review. Meetings by video call work just as well if your approvers are in different places. To arrange one, send a message through the contact page and I will reply within four working hours.
Our decision needs several approvals. How do you handle that?
I build the approvals into the plan. You get one page list and one Figma link to circulate, so every approver comments on the same version. I agree the review rounds with you before we start, and the launch date takes them into account. Nothing is built until the design has been approved.
Do you work with ADGM entities and mainland businesses?
Yes, both. The kind of entity changes what the site has to say, not how it is built. A firm in ADGM usually writes for other businesses and for an international reader. A mainland business often writes for local customers, in both languages. I plan the pages around the reader you need to reach.
Does a business here need an Arabic version?
In most cases, yes. Many buyers and decision makers in the emirate search and read in Arabic, and an English-only site does not appear for those searches. Launch costs AED 6,800 with both languages and Growth costs AED 15,300. If your customers only search in English, I will say so in the free audit.
Do you work with businesses in Al Ain and in Mussafah?
Yes. I serve the whole emirate, and I also work with businesses in Dubai, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. The process and the prices are the same wherever you are. You can see the other cities and languages on the main web design in the UAE page.
Is SEO included in the build?
Yes. Every build includes on-page SEO and schema, and from Launch upwards technical SEO and Core Web Vitals checks as well. Ongoing work is a separate monthly plan from AED 2,700, and the setup fee of AED 1,080 is waived if I built your site. The local detail is on the SEO in Abu Dhabi page.
Shall we meet?
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.
