Financial services website design Dubai — we’ve built websites for three financial firms: an investment manager, a private client practice and a financial planning service. Websites from AED 3,500, delivered in 14 to 21 days.
Why financial websites are a different job
For most businesses a website’s job is to explain and sell. For a financial firm the job is to be believed. Someone is deciding whether to hand you their pension, their company’s cash or their family’s savings, and they are looking for reasons not to. That changes what the site has to do:
- Named people with real credentials, not a stock photo and the word “team”. This is the single most common gap we find.
- A clear service architecture. Pensions, tax, investment management and estate planning are different questions asked by different people. One page called “Services” answers none of them.
- Regulatory footing stated plainly — licence and registration details where a cautious visitor will look for them.
- Restraint. No countdown timers, no “limited spots”. Anything that reads as a sales tactic costs you credibility in this sector.
- English and Arabic, which in the UAE is a trust signal as much as a convenience.
Three we’ve built
Aria Capital Management — an investment firm offering personalised financial strategies, with a focus on long-term growth and risk management. The brief was a professional, informative presence that explained a complex offering without diluting it.
MoneyUnspun — financial planning across pensions, retirement, tax planning and investment strategy. A user-centred design problem: several distinct audiences at different life stages, each needing to find their own path quickly.
ARIA Private Clients — the private client side of the same group.
Adjacent work worth mentioning because the trust problem is identical: Onyx West in commodities and mining, where the site had to make a firm handling significant transactions look like one.
What does financial services website design Dubai cost?
| Package | Price | Delivery | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | AED 3,500 | 14 days | Up to 6 pages — firm, services, team, contact |
| Premium | AED 6,999 | 21 days | 10+ pages with a page per service line, EN + AR ready, Analytics and Search Console set up |
For a financial firm we almost always recommend Premium, for one structural reason: you need a separate page per service line. A single page covering pensions and tax and investment management ranks for none of them and converts none of them. Ten pages is the floor, not a luxury.
Relevant add-ons: Arabic AED 1,000, extra pages AED 400 each, content writing AED 250 per page, speed optimisation AED 1,200, hosting AED 2,400/year. A typical firm lands between AED 8,000 and AED 12,000 in year one. Full breakdown on our website cost page.
Content is the hard part, and it’s yours
We can write the site — AED 250 per page — but we can’t invent your track record, your credentials or your regulatory status, and we won’t. What we need from you is the licensing detail, the team bios and any performance or claim language you’re permitted to publish. If you’re regulated, get your compliance sign-off on wording early: rewriting an approved page late is the most common cause of delay on these projects.
To be clear about our own limits: we build and structure the site. We are not compliance advisers, and nothing we produce is a substitute for your own regulatory review.
Trust signals we’ll build in
- Named team pages with credentials and photographs
- Licence and registration numbers in the footer on every page
- Organisation and professional-service structured data, so search engines recognise the firm as an entity
- A single consistent address, phone and email everywhere on the site
- Attributed client testimonials — named, or not used at all
- Clear disclaimers where you need them, positioned to be read rather than hidden
Do you work with firms in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE?
Yes. We work with financial firms across the UAE, and the regulatory footing is the part that changes rather than the build.
Firms in DIFC, ADGM and onshore UAE operate under different regimes, and your site should state plainly which applies to you and which entity holds the licence. Where a group entity is regulated in another jurisdiction, say so explicitly rather than leaving a visitor to infer it. That clarity is worth more to a cautious client than any design decision on the page.
Common questions
Can you work under NDA?
Yes, as standard. We also work white label for firms who’d rather not name an external agency — see white label development.
Do you build client portals or logins?
Simple gated areas, yes. A full transactional client portal is a software project rather than a website — talk to us about app and platform development, from AED 9,999.
Do you handle Arabic content?
Yes, AED 1,000 per language. For regulated wording we’d want your reviewed Arabic text rather than a translation we commissioned.
Can you help us rank?
SEO from AED 1,999/month. Financial keywords in the UAE are competitive and slow; expect months, not weeks.
