How much does it cost to design a website for a small business in Dubai?

Dubai has been a perfect place for all types of businesses, small or large, over the past few decades. In particular, during the past two decades, the Dubai government has executed mega projects to develop Dubai’s infrastructure, in terms of new roads and districts, IT and financial services, safety and security and tourism industry. Dubai is now a popular destination for tourists from all around the world, as well as business entities from multinational companies all the way through small businesses. Here in this article, we would like to take you through the costs associated with taking your small business online, or starting a brand new online business. As such, if you are looking for a reputable website design company in Dubai, this article would help you a lot, for the sake of having a clue about the website design price in Dubai. 

Factors that must be considered to estimate the cost of web design for a small business

• The number of required pages affect the price directly

The number of website pages directly affects the price. If you are a little company or a small restaurant down the road, a maximum 10 to 15  pages website would be more than enough. But if you are after ecommerce website design, where the number of pages increases, as the number of product types expands, the cost would obviously go up.

• The required features impacts the cost of designing a website

Like the number of webpages, the number of features designed for your website affects the cost. The more features are designed and implemented on a website, the more cost you must pay for. As such, you must be careful to have a precise understanding of your business to put in the required features only. As an example for your better understanding, the features that are needed for a corporate website are definitely less than an ecommerce website, so is the cost!

• The number of visitors per day is the other cost driver for designing a website

The number of visitors that are likely to visit a website doesn’t impact the cost of web design directly. However, the coding and the appropriate server is different when it comes to a busy website in comparison with a quiet website. As such, the expected number of visitors would indirectly impact the cost of web design, as the coding structure and type of required server is more expensive for busier websites. It is highly recommended to consult with a  professional SEO agency in Dubai to have a precise estimate of the expected number of visitors for your website, so you can choose the right server and coding structure accordingly. 

Who to work with for designing a professional website?

You might have come across unbelievably low prices for web design that are coming from freelancers and offshore companies. The web design costs that are quoted by registered and reputable companies are far higher, but have you ever thought about the reasons? Let’s dive deeper!

 If you work with an offshore company with no supporting office in Dubai, what would you do in case of technical issues that are unavoidable in the digital world? That is a very important point to consider, when deciding on whom to work with to design your website. On top of that, once your website is up and running, to whom you will make contact if no traffic is coming towards your website, as it is not designed SEO friendly? There are many other good reasons to work with a reputable and registered company with a proven track record of success, so you will rest assured that in case of any issue, they are right there to assist. 

At last, how much will the price of designing a website for a small business be?

The cost of designing a website depends on many factors as outlined in detail, earlier in this article. However, as a guesstimate, you must be ready to pay at least AED 3’000 for a simple corporate or a small restaurant website with a few pages. If you are intending to start your online store, the cost can be as little as AED 7’000 and goes up to AED 50′ 000 or more, depending on your project specs.
