In short
In Dubai, a simple one-page website from KIVORIQ STUDIO starts from AED 1,500, a 5–8 page company website from AED 4,000 and an online store from AED 8,000. The final price depends on the number of pages, special features like bookings or payments, extra languages and who provides the content. Plan for small ongoing costs too: your domain, hosting and maintenance.
If you've asked three different people what a website costs in Dubai, you've probably heard three very different answers. That's because "a website" can mean anything from a single page to a full online store — and because freelancers, studios and large agencies all price differently.
This guide breaks down what you can expect to pay in 2026, what actually drives the price, and the ongoing costs many business owners forget to plan for.
Website prices in Dubai at a glance
Here's how KIVORIQ STUDIO prices its packages. All prices are starting prices in AED; you get a clear quote before any work begins.
| Website type | What you get | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page | 1 page, responsive design, contact form, basic SEO | From AED 1,500 |
| Company website | 5–8 pages, custom design and development, basic SEO, Google Analytics | From AED 4,000 |
| Online store | Product pages, shopping cart, online payments | From AED 8,000 |
| QR digital menu | Mobile menu with table QR codes, multilingual | From AED 800 |
Industry websites — for example a restaurant website with bookings and a menu, or a gym website with class schedules — sit between the company website and the online store, because they include features that business type needs.
What actually drives the price
Two websites with the same number of pages can cost very different amounts. These are the factors that matter most.
1. Number of pages
Each page has to be planned, written, designed and built. A single landing page for one offer is quick; a company site with separate pages for each service takes longer.
2. Custom design vs a template
A template is cheaper but looks like thousands of other sites. A custom design is made for your brand and your customers, which usually means better trust and more enquiries. All KIVORIQ STUDIO websites are custom-designed.
3. Special features
Features like table bookings, appointment requests, class schedules, multiple languages or online payments add development time. Online payments and product catalogues are the main reason e-commerce sites cost more.
4. Languages
Many UAE businesses serve customers in more than one language. A second language — such as Arabic — is more than translation: layouts need to work right-to-left and every page needs checking. Expect it to be quoted as an add-on.
5. Content and photos
Who writes the text and provides the photos makes a real difference. If you have good photos and clear information, the project moves faster. If you need copywriting or visuals created — including AI-generated visuals — it adds to the cost.
6. SEO from day one
A website that nobody finds doesn't bring in customers. At minimum, your site should launch with page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, fast loading and schema markup. Every KIVORIQ STUDIO website includes this as standard — see SEO services for what ongoing SEO adds.
Freelancer, studio or agency?
Prices in Dubai range widely depending on who builds your site.
- Freelancers are often the cheapest, but quality and reliability vary, and you may need different people for design, development and SEO.
- Large agencies offer big teams and processes, with prices to match. They're often more than a small business needs.
- A studio like KIVORIQ STUDIO sits in between: one point of contact who handles design, development and SEO, with clear starting prices.
Whichever you choose, ask to see real examples, check what's included, and make sure you'll own your website and domain.
Ongoing costs to budget for
The build is a one-off cost, but a website has a few small running costs:
- Domain name — renewed every year. A
.comor.aedomain is a small annual expense. - Hosting — where your website lives. Modern static websites can be hosted very cheaply and load fast.
- Maintenance and updates — changing prices, adding offers, keeping things secure. You can do this yourself or use a care plan, from AED 200 per month.
- Ongoing SEO — optional, but worth it in competitive industries.
How to get an accurate quote
The fastest way to an accurate price is a short brief. Before you ask for a quote, have answers to these questions:
- What should the website do — get calls, bookings, orders or enquiries?
- Which pages do you need?
- Do you need special features like bookings, a menu or online payments?
- Which languages?
- Do you have a logo, photos and text ready?
- What's your budget and timeline?
With that, you'll get a clear quote you can compare fairly. For a quick ballpark before you talk to anyone, our website cost calculator gives an instant estimate.
The bottom line
For most small businesses in Dubai, a professional website costs between a landing page at AED 1,500 and a full company website from AED 4,000, with online stores starting from AED 8,000. Paying a little more for custom design and proper SEO usually pays for itself in enquiries.
