In short

We design online stores for brands selling in the UAE and Saudi Arabia: a storefront in your identity, product pages that answer questions before they are asked, and a short path to checkout on mobile. We build on Shopify, Salla and Zid, or code a custom store when the brand needs more than a theme allows.

Overview

Most Gulf stores start from a purchased theme, which is why so many look alike. A customer arrives from an Instagram or Snapchat ad, lands on a store that looks like the last ten, with mismatched photos and a description copied from the supplier. They don't doubt the product. They just find no reason to buy it from you.

We start from the brand, not the theme: what the first screen has to say, what a buyer needs to know before tapping Add to cart, and where they usually hesitate. Then we build on the platform that fits your size today and leave the store easy for your team to run.

What you get

A storefront in your identity

Home, collections and product pages designed from your colours, type and photography, not the theme's.

Product pages that sell

Images, description, sizing and FAQs arranged so the buyer finds the answer before they need to ask.

A short mobile checkout

Fewer steps to payment, buttons within thumb reach and genuinely fast loading.

English and Arabic

Two complete versions, with Arabic running right to left in menus, filters, cart and checkout.

Shopify, Salla, Zid or custom

We choose the platform with you, based on catalogue size, payments, shipping and where you plan to sell.

Ready for search and ads

Page titles and descriptions, structured product data and analytics connected, so you know where sales come from.

How it works

  1. 01

    Understand what you sell

    Products, pricing, customers, and why carts are abandoned today if you already have a store.

  2. 02

    Choose the platform

    Shopify, Salla, Zid or a custom build, with the reasons written down before any design.

  3. 03

    Design

    Home, product page and cart, mobile first, then desktop.

  4. 04

    Build and connect

    Store setup, payments, shipping and analytics, then a full test purchase end to end.

  5. 05

    Launch and handover

    We launch and show your team how to add and edit products without breaking the design.

Who it is for

  • Brands on Shopify, Salla or Zid with a theme that looks like everyone else's
  • Businesses moving from selling on Instagram and WhatsApp to their own store
  • Brands selling in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia that need a bilingual store
  • Stores with ad traffic but too few orders

Shopify, Salla or Zid: which suits your store?

Shopify is the stronger choice when you sell across several countries or need a wide range of apps and integrations. Salla and Zid are Saudi platforms with local payment and shipping built in, and they suit most stores selling within the Kingdom. A custom-coded store is worth the cost when you need something platforms can't do, such as configuring a product before purchase. We'll tell you plainly which fits, even when the cheaper option is the right one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an ecommerce website cost in Dubai?

A store designed on Shopify, Salla or Zid starts at $6,400; a custom-coded store starts at $12,000. The final price depends on the number of templates, products and what the store has to do, and is agreed in writing before work starts.

Do you work on Salla and Zid, or only Shopify?

All three, and we code a custom store when it's needed. We choose the platform with you before design and write down why.

I already have a store. Do you redesign it or start again?

In most cases we redesign the existing store and keep your products, orders and customers. We only start again when the current platform can't do what you need.

Can the store be in English and Arabic?

Yes. Both versions are complete, and Arabic runs right to left on every page, including cart and checkout.

Who adds products after launch?

Your team. We hand over the store with a short walkthrough for adding and editing products, and can load the first products with you.

Is product photography included?

We don't shoot photography ourselves. We set the sizes and style the photos need so the store looks consistent, and design with what you send.

How long does an ecommerce build take?

A platform store usually takes three to five weeks; a custom store takes longer depending on scope. You get the timeline in writing before we start.

How do we pay?

50% to start and 50% on delivery, in US dollars, by bank transfer or card. We work with businesses only.
