eCommerce Website Design in Dubai

Shopify if you want to start selling quickly and would rather pay a monthly fee than manage anything technical. WooCommerce if you want lower running costs, more control over pricing and checkout, or the store sits alongside a content-heavy site. As a rough rule: a straightforward catalogue and a small team suits Shopify; unusual products, bulk or trade pricing, or heavy content suits WooCommerce. We will tell you which fits before you spend anything.

Card payments through Telr, Network International or Stripe; buy-now-pay-later through Tabby or Tamara; Apple Pay; and cash on delivery, which still matters for a large share of UAE shoppers. We configure and test each one with live transactions before launch, and set up VAT-compliant invoicing so your accounts are not a monthly reconciliation exercise.

Six to ten weeks for most stores. The build itself is rarely the constraint — product data is. A clean catalogue with good photography moves fast; three thousand products in an inconsistent spreadsheet does not. We agree the dates at kick-off and tell you exactly what we need from you and when.

Usually, yes. We regularly connect stores to Zoho, Odoo, QuickBooks and various in-house inventory systems, plus courier APIs for labels and tracking. If your system has an API we can work with it. If it does not, we will say so up front rather than discovering it halfway through the build.

Almost always one of four things: delivery cost appearing at the last step, a forced account signup, a form asking for more than a stranger will give, or a payment method they trust not being offered. We instrument the funnel first so we can see which one is yours, then fix that rather than redesigning the whole store on a hunch.

Yes, and you should. Products, variants, pricing, discounts and campaigns are all editable without touching a template, with bulk import if you maintain your catalogue in a spreadsheet. We walk your team through it and leave a short recording. If a price change needs a developer, the store was built wrong.

That is designed in rather than added later. Category structure, product schema, clean URLs and page speed are all handled during the build, so your listings can appear with price, stock and rating showing in the result itself. We also connect Search Console and Merchant Center before launch.

Yes. Products, customers, order history and URLs all come across, with redirects mapped before anything is switched so the rankings you have earned are not lost. We run the new store in parallel until it is proven, then cut over — there is no window where customers cannot buy.

Yes — a genuine right-to-left Arabic store, not a translation plugin over an English layout. Product data, currency, checkout and emails all work in both languages, and each gets its own URLs with hreflang so both can rank independently.

We set up shipping zones and rates by emirate, free-delivery thresholds if you want them, and courier integrations for labels and tracking. Delivery cost is shown early in the journey rather than sprung at the last step, which is one of the cheapest ways to recover abandoned carts.

It depends mostly on catalogue size and how many systems the store has to talk to — a hundred simple products is a very different build from three thousand with trade pricing and an ERP behind them. We quote a fixed price in AED after one short call, with no hourly billing and no surprises later.

Twelve months included: bug fixes, plugin and platform updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small content changes, reachable on WhatsApp. A store needs more attention than a brochure site, so we also keep an eye on checkout errors and failed payments — the things that cost money quietly.
