Honest AED ranges for the Dubai market, the scope drivers that explain them, and the traps that make identical-sounding quotes differ five-fold.

What actually drives the price

The Dubai pricing landscape, described honestly

Dubai website pricing runs from AED 2,000 template jobs to six-figure platforms, and the confusion is structural: the market sells very different products under the same word. A configured theme, a customised theme and a hand-built site are three different purchases, and every range in the FAQ below is really a range of scope wearing a price.

The practical defence is itemisation. A quote worth comparing states: template or custom, and which; languages, and who translates; every integration by name; who writes the content; what launch includes (analytics, Search Console, redirects if replacing a site); and what ownership means, domain, files, hosting, in whose name. Two itemised quotes can be compared in minutes. Two lump sums cannot be compared at all.

Where we sit in it

We build the hand-built end, quoted per project in AED, scoped in writing against exactly the drivers above, with ownership always yours. If your requirement is honestly a template, we will say so, that is a legitimate purchase, and paying custom prices for it is the only real mistake. The UAE web design hub covers the Dubai practice, and web design in Abu Dhabi covers the capital; the questionnaire on either is how a real number gets attached to your project.

We have three quotes for the same website: AED 4,000, AED 18,000 and AED 45,000. How is that possible?

Buzzetric

They are almost certainly three different products: a configured theme, a customised theme, and a hand-built site. Each can be the right answer for someone.

How do we tell which is which?

Buzzetric

Ask each for the scope in writing: template or custom, languages, every integration by name, who writes the content, and who owns the hosting. The differences show up immediately.

UAE website costs, answered plainly

The Dubai market quotes roughly these ranges: a template-based small business site from around AED 3,000 to 8,000; a custom-designed business site from roughly AED 10,000 to 30,000; e-commerce from about AED 15,000 to 60,000 depending on catalogue and integrations; and larger custom platforms upward of AED 50,000. The spread inside each range is scope, the drivers above, and any quote that does not itemise them is a guess wearing a number.

Send the requirement, get a real number.

Ten minutes on the scoping questionnaire produces a fixed AED quote itemised against everything on this page. No discovery-call pricing theatre.
