WordPress Developer · Dubai · UAE

WordPress developer for Dubai and the UAE — Arabic-ready, GCC-fluent.

Dubai is one of the fastest-moving commerce markets on earth — real-estate operators, free-zone start-ups, restaurant groups, family offices, hospitality brands. They need sites that work in Arabic and English, take AED at checkout, integrate with Network International or PayTabs, and look like premium GCC brand work. That is what I build.

Why hire from Pakistan if you are in Dubai & the UAE

Senior wordpress developer for Dubai & the UAE — without the agency markup

Time zones

Working across the time gap

Pakistan is 1 hour behind UAE time. That is full working-day overlap — same-time responses, real-time chat, live calls on demand. Most Dubai clients say working with a Pakistan-based dev feels closer than working with a local agency.

How I work

Senior code, fair rate, direct line

  • Arabic / English bilingual builds — RTL CSS, hreflang, translated meta.
  • Local payment gateways — Network International, PayTabs, Telr, Checkout.com.
  • AED + USD + multi-currency on Shopify Markets for GCC expansion.
  • Free-zone-friendly contracting, NDA-friendly, invoicing in USD or AED.
  • 1-hour timezone gap — closer than most local agencies feel.

How a remote engagement runs

From your Dubai & the UAE brief to a live launch

A four-step process that surfaces scope early and keeps the build moving — no kickoff meetings about kickoff meetings, even with a 10-hour time gap.

  1. 01

    Brief

    You send what you need — goals, references, deadline. I reply within 24h with questions, not a generic templated quote.

  2. 02

    Scoped quote

    Fixed price, fixed timeline, deliverables in writing. No retainer trap, no surprise scope creep mid-build.

  3. 03

    Build & preview

    You see real progress weekly on a staging URL. Feedback rounds are baked in — not billed extra.

  4. 04

    Launch & after

    DNS, SSL, analytics, search console. I’m on call after launch and provide a clean handover doc for your team.

FAQ

WordPress Developer — common questions from Dubai & the UAE clients

Do you build Arabic / RTL WordPress sites?

Yes — Arabic + English bilingual is standard for most Dubai builds. I use WPML or Polylang for WordPress and native Shopify Markets for Shopify. Full RTL CSS support, translated meta + schema, hreflang routing, and Arabic copy reviewed by a native translator (not Google Translate).

Which payment gateways do you integrate for UAE?

All the common ones: Network International (NGenius), PayTabs, Telr, Checkout.com, Stripe (in markets where supported), Tabby, Tamara, and Apple Pay. I configure 3D Secure, AED currency, GCC + ME shipping zones, and tax setup per Emirate where applicable.

Are you familiar with DIFC, ADGM, and UAE free-zone requirements?

Yes — many free-zone companies and DIFC / ADGM-licensed firms have specific marketing-site and compliance requirements (regulator disclosures, multilingual disclosures, restricted promotional language for financial services). I build to these and have a checklist for FSRA / DFSA-aware sites.

How do time zones work for a Dubai client?

Pakistan is just 1 hour behind UAE time. Full working-day overlap — I am at my desk during your business hours, available for live calls, real-time chat. Most Dubai clients say working with me feels closer than working with a local agency that goes quiet between meetings.

Can you invoice in AED or USD?

Both. AED via direct UAE bank transfer or USD via Wire / Wise / Payoneer. No VAT is applicable on services from outside the UAE; I provide a "place of supply" declaration so your bookkeeping stays clean for FTA filings.

How much does a Dubai WordPress site cost?

Marketing / property listing sites typically AED 6k–25k (USD $1.5k–$7k). WooCommerce / Shopify stores AED 15k–55k (USD $4k–$15k). Bilingual Arabic / English adds ~20% to the base. Multi-currency GCC expansion AED 25k–60k (USD $7k–$16k). Every quote is fixed-price.
