WordPress development agency Dubai — every website we build runs on WordPress, and you own it outright: the install, the domain, the hosting and every login. Builds from AED 999, maintenance from AED 299 a month.
Why WordPress and not a website builder?
Because of what happens in year three. A site built on a closed platform is rented — you can’t export it, you can’t move host, and when the monthly fee rises or a feature you rely on is discontinued, you rebuild from scratch. WordPress runs a large share of the web precisely because it is portable. If you ever stop working with us, you take the site to any developer on earth and they will know what they’re looking at.
The practical version: we hand over admin credentials on launch day. Nothing is locked to us.
Custom design, or a theme?
Custom design, built with Elementor Pro as the layout engine. That combination is deliberate. A hand-coded theme means you need a developer to change a headline; a stock template means your site looks like a thousand others. Building custom designs on a mature builder means the design is yours and yet your marketing person can still edit a page without opening a code editor.
Where a project genuinely needs custom code — an integration, a calculator, a bespoke post type — we write it.

Do you build WooCommerce stores?

Can you fix or take over an existing WordPress site?
Yes, and it’s a lot of what we do. The usual list: a site that has become slow, a theme abandoned by its developer, plugins years out of date, a hacked install, or a previous agency that has gone quiet and won’t hand over logins.
We start by auditing what you actually have — plugin inventory and versions, theme status, PageSpeed, indexation in Search Console, and whether anything is silently broken. Then we quote the fix. We won’t recommend rebuilding a site that only needs repairing.
Do you migrate sites to WordPress?
Yes — from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, a custom PHP site, or an older WordPress install on bad hosting. The parts people forget are the ones that cost them traffic: 301 redirects mapping every old URL to its new one, canonical tags, and a sitemap resubmitted to Search Console. Skip those and a migration can cost most of your rankings.
Speed and security
Two things break WordPress sites: too many plugins doing overlapping jobs, and cheap shared hosting. We keep the plugin count deliberately low, put sites on premium hosting (AED 2,400/year) with a CDN and caching, and set explicit image dimensions and modern formats so pages don’t shift while loading. Speed optimisation to PageSpeed 60+ is AED 1,200 as a standalone job on an existing site.
Do you do white label WordPress for other agencies?
Yes. We build under your brand, with an NDA and partner margins — see white label web development and our partner programme.
Ongoing maintenance
From AED 299 a month after your included support window ends (30 days on Business, 90 on Premium). That covers core, theme and plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small content edits. It exists because the most common way a WordPress site gets hacked is sitting unpatched for a year.
Common questions
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes — that’s the reason we build on Elementor. We walk you through it on handover.
Who owns the hosting and domain?
You do, in your name. We’ll set them up for you, but the accounts are yours.
Do you use page builders that slow sites down?
Any builder can be slow if it’s misused. We commit to PageSpeed targets in writing — 40+ on Business, 60+ on Premium — so it’s measurable rather than a promise.
Can you work with our developer?
Yes. We’re happy to hand off clean, documented WordPress and stay out of the way.
