How much does a website cost in Dubai?

A straight answer, plus what actually moves the price up or down.

Jul 20265 min read

Short answer: a straightforward, mobile-ready business website in Dubai typically starts around AED 99 per month for a launch package with up to five pages, domain, hosting, and WhatsApp enquiries built in. Custom builds with e-commerce, booking systems, or CRM integration are quoted separately, usually after a short discovery conversation.

But the honest answer is longer than that, because "a website" can mean very different things depending on what your business actually needs.

What changes the price

  • Number of pages — a five-page business site costs far less than a twenty-page catalogue site.
  • E-commerce — adding Shopify, payment processing, and product catalogues adds setup time.
  • Integrations — connecting WhatsApp, booking systems, or a CRM is more work than a static contact form.
  • Content — if you already have photos and copy ready, build time (and cost) goes down. Starting from nothing takes longer.
  • Ongoing maintenance — some packages include updates and support; others charge for changes after launch.

Why "cheap" websites can cost more later

A free website builder or a very low one-off price often skips things that matter later: who owns the domain, whether the site is actually mobile-friendly, and whether anyone will still answer the phone if something breaks. We wrote about this in more detail in our website ownership checklist — it's worth checking before you commit to any provider, not just us.
