Website development, SEO and digital marketing for Dubai businesses
Dubai's economy is real estate, hospitality, luxury retail and trade, run by companies licensed either on the mainland or in one of the free zones, selling to an audience that reads Arabic and English. We are a website development company in India building bilingual sites and ecommerce for Dubai businesses, invoicing in dirhams, with no Dubai office and a working day that overlaps almost all of yours.

Working with us in Dubai
What Dubai businesses run into, and what we do about it
Arabic and English are both the audience, not one and a translation
A Dubai site that treats Arabic as an afterthought loses the half of the market that reads right to left. We build bilingual from the start — right-to-left layout, Arabic typography that is actually legible, correct language tagging so Google serves the right version — and we quote Arabic and English builds on the same basis rather than as an upsell.
Mainland or free zone changes what your website may sell, and to whom
A company licensed by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism trades on the mainland; a company licensed in DMCC, DIFC, Dubai Internet City or JAFZA trades under that zone's rules and, in general, cannot sell directly into the mainland without a distributor or a mainland licence. That shapes what an ecommerce store may offer, which payment gateway will onboard you and what the footer must state, so a website development company Dubai firms hire should ask which licence you hold before the first wireframe. We do.
VAT at 5% touches the price on every page
Consumer-facing prices in the UAE are expected to be displayed inclusive of VAT, and the tax invoice your store generates has to carry the details the Federal Tax Authority requires. We build the store so displayed prices, checkout totals and invoices agree, and on our own side, if you are VAT-registered, the reverse charge means we invoice without adding the 5%.
Real estate and hospitality advertise under regulators
Property listings in Dubai carry an advertising permit from the real estate regulator, and hotels and restaurants operate under licensing that governs what may be promoted. The seo agency Dubai property and hospitality brands hire has to build compliant pages first and rank them second, and the AI answers a buyer now asks for will only cite a page that can be trusted.

Why Dubai clients work with us
Ninety minutes, not a night
India is an hour and a half behind the UAE, so a question asked at eleven in Business Bay is answered the same afternoon by a team that is still at its desk. There is no overnight handover to plan around.
Dirhams to a local account, no Indian GST
We invoice in AED as an export of services from India and hold local AED account details through a licensed cross-border payment provider, so your finance team makes a normal local transfer.
No office in Dubai, said plainly
We are not in Media City or DIFC and we will not lease a flexi-desk to imply we are. What you get is published pricing, an Indian GST registration you can verify, a small paid first step, and delivery over live calls during your working day.
An ai agency for a city that has decided to automate
The UAE government's push toward agentic AI has made automation a genuine local expectation rather than a pitch. As an ai agency we build WhatsApp automation, AI agents and integrations for Dubai businesses, with model usage billed at cost and shown separately.

How it works
Questions from Dubai clients
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. We deliver remotely from India, but because we are only ninety minutes behind the UAE, delivery happens live on calls and chat during your working day rather than through an overnight handover.
Are you a digital marketing agency in Dubai or a web design company?
Both, plus software. One team builds bilingual websites and ecommerce stores, runs SEO and social retainers in Arabic and English, and writes custom software, AI agents and WhatsApp automation. A digital marketing agency Dubai brands hire for campaigns can here also build the store the campaign sells from.
Do you charge VAT, and is the invoice in dirhams?
The invoice is in AED as an export of services from India. If your business is VAT-registered in the UAE, the reverse charge mechanism means you self-account for the 5% and we invoice without adding it. If you are not VAT-registered, tell us before we start and we will check the treatment rather than guess.
How much of the Dubai working day do you cover?
Almost all of it. India is an hour and a half behind the UAE, so our day runs alongside yours, and the UAE's Saturday–Sunday weekend since 2022 means there is no structural mismatch with our week either.
What does a website or SEO cost for a Dubai business?
The published UAE figures: a business website from AED 5,000 to AED 12,000 by page count and complexity, with bilingual Arabic and English builds quoted on the same basis, and SEO retainers from AED 2,000 to AED 8,000 a month by scope and competitiveness.
