# Web Development Company for Dubai and the UAE > Website development for UAE businesses: Arabic and English, right to left layout, fast on mobile networks, ecommerce ready and secured. Talk to RegenByte in the UAE. **URL:** https://www.regenbyte.com/ae/web-development Most websites aimed at this market are built in English and given an Arabic version late, usually by running the copy through a translator and reversing the text alignment. The result is a page that reads as an afterthought to half the audience: navigation that opens the wrong way, icons pointing the wrong direction, forms whose labels sit on the wrong side of the field, and Arabic set in a fallback font that does not match the brand. Building both directions from the start costs less than repairing that later, and it is the difference between a site that serves the market and one that merely covers it. ## Websites for UAE businesses - **Corporate and brand sites:** The credibility check a prospect performs before they call. Clear structure, fast pages and content that answers what people actually arrive asking. - **Property and listing platforms:** Search that stays quick as the catalogue grows, and enquiries that arrive carrying the context of what the buyer was looking at. - **Ecommerce storefronts:** Catalogue, checkout and payment integration, with the failure paths tested rather than assumed. - **Booking and enquiry journeys:** Hospitality, clinics and services businesses, where the booking flow is the product and every extra step costs a conversion. - **Content and editorial platforms:** A structured content model your marketing team can publish into in both languages without a developer. - **Rebuilds and rescues:** An honest review of what exists first. Sometimes the right answer is to improve it; sometimes it is a rebuild, and we will say which. ## Arabic and English, built together Bilingual is an architectural decision, not a content task. These are the parts that have to be right before any copy is written. - Genuine right to left layout, using logical CSS properties rather than mirrored overrides - Arabic typefaces selected to sit with the brand, not a system fallback - Each language on its own URL, with reciprocal hreflang and a self referencing canonical - Numerals, dates and currency formatted per language rather than per site - Forms, validation messages and error states translated, not just labels - A language switcher that keeps the reader on the page they were reading ## Performance on a real connection Most of this audience arrives on a phone, often on mobile data. Performance is treated as a budget held through the build rather than an optimisation pass at the end, and it is measured on the finished site rather than asserted. - Core Web Vitals treated as a build constraint, with a page weight budget per template - Server rendered HTML, so content is readable before any JavaScript executes - Images served in modern formats at the size they are actually displayed - Fonts subset per language, so an English page never downloads Arabic glyphs - Third party scripts justified individually, because each one is someone else's performance decision ## Security as part of the build A website is a public interface to a business. It is treated as one from the first commit rather than assessed once at the end. - Security headers set at the framework level so every route inherits them - Input validated on the server, never only in the browser - Dependencies audited and kept current, since known vulnerable components are the most automated attack there is - Administrative interfaces not left reachable without a reason - Enquiry forms that reject credentials rather than quietly storing them ## How a project runs 1. **Scoping conversation:** What the site has to achieve, what already exists, and the real constraints. No charge and no obligation. 2. **Written scope and stages:** What is included, what is explicitly not, and what happens if requirements change. Surprises belong in the proposal, not the invoice. 3. **Structure and design:** Information architecture and interface design in both languages at once, so neither is retrofitted. 4. **Build and review:** Work arrives in reviewable pieces while feedback is still cheap to act on. 5. **Launch and handover:** Accounts in your name, documentation written for whoever maintains it next, and measurements from your own site. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a website cost in Dubai? It is quoted per engagement rather than from a rate card, because the same brief can differ several fold in real effort depending on integrations, content readiness and how much of an existing system has to be untangled first. What we commit to is a written scope before any figure is discussed, a stage by stage breakdown, explicit exclusions, and no charge for the initial conversation. ### How long does a website take? It depends on scope and, more often, on how quickly decisions and content arrive. A focused corporate site is a materially different piece of work from a platform with accounts and payments. We give a stage by stage timeline with the proposal rather than one number, so you can see what moves if something slips. ### Can you build the Arabic version only? Yes. An Arabic first site is a legitimate choice for a business whose customers are primarily Arabic speaking, and it is architecturally simpler than a bilingual build. We would still set the language and direction properly and structure the metadata so it can rank. ### Do you provide hosting? We set hosting up in your own accounts and configure it, rather than reselling it to you. You should never have to ask a supplier for permission to keep your own website running. ### Can you take over a site another agency built? Usually. We start with a review of the codebase, hosting and dependencies so we can tell you honestly what condition it is in, and whether maintaining it or rebuilding it is the better use of your budget. ### Will the site work on mobile? It is designed for mobile first, because that is where most of this audience arrives. That means layouts that work at 320 pixels wide, tap targets large enough to hit, and a page weight budget that assumes a mobile network rather than an office connection.
