How Much Website Development Cost in Dubai
One of the questions we hear most often at ICON is, ‘How much does a website cost in Dubai?’
While it's a common question, there's no simple answer. The price of a website can vary widely, just like cars. You could get a basic website for a relatively low cost, similar to a small car. But if you want something high-end with lots of features, the price will be higher, like a luxury car.
Also, the rise of e-commerce has created a huge demand for professional websites and mobile apps.
Today, having a strong online presence is essential for any business. Customers expect brands to have user-friendly websites and apps, and a well-designed digital platform can give a company a competitive edge.
It's no secret that online shopping is booming.
In fact, 60% of shoppers start their product search on the internet. Businesses with websites are predicted to grow 25% faster over the next few years compared to those without.

How to Calculate Your Website Budget, and What Affects the Website Cost Today
To figure out how much you can spend on a new website in the UAE, you need to understand how much money it could make for you. One of the example website Al Rostamani Trading Company (Suzuki Website) made by ICON Web-Development team:
1. Understanding Your Website's Scope
How many pages do you envision? What kind of content will each page have? Will you include images, videos, or other multimedia? These are essential questions to start with. Taking Suzuki's website as an example; this one had almost 75+ pages with roughly 30+ content files and much more. The more you add the more costly it will become.
2. Design: Custom or Template?
Custom design gives each page a unique look and feel tailored to its specific purpose. This can be more effective but also more costly. If the website is made or CMS like WordPress or similar, a template-based approach saves money but might limit your creativity. For example, check this website out:
Jazz Spa Lounge website is made on WordPress with Tailwind CSS UI frameworks. This website will be revamped in a different style in the coming days.
3. Functionality: What Does Your Website Need to Do?
Think about the features your website must have. E-commerce sites require shopping carts, payment processing, and product management. Even simple websites might benefit from interactive elements like maps or live chat. These features impact development time and cost. Also, both of these features can also be incorporated in one single website. Let’s again take Suzuki website as an example:
4. Planning is Key: Wireframes and Design
Don't skip wireframing and design. These early stages help visualize your website and catch potential issues before development starts. Investing time here can save you money and headaches later. For example, our team always uses Figma for more clarity on designs:
5. Quality Matters: Testing and Refinement
Building a great website takes time and attention to detail. Expect to test thoroughly and fix any bugs. This process ensures a smooth user experience and helps avoid costly mistakes. At ICON we use Jira workflow to manage all the tickets raised regarding the website. We follow scrum methodology for progress on web pages making sure everything is one time and every bug is fixed before it is pushed live.
