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.

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

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.
