The market

What building for the UAE really means

The UAE is one of the most connected countries in the world. Almost everyone is online, people carry more than one phone connection each, and mobile internet is among the fastest anywhere. That raises the bar: a slow site or a clumsy app feels broken here sooner than in most markets.

Customers also expect choice at checkout. Cards and Apple Pay are standard, buy now pay later services are common, and the UAE's new Aani instant payments and Jaywan domestic card are adding more options. A store that only takes one kind of card leaves money on the table.

The UAE population is international, so many businesses need English and Arabic, and some need Urdu, Hindi or Russian as well. Right-to-left Arabic layouts have to be designed in from the start, not bolted on later.

What we build

What businesses in the UAE ask us for

  1. 01

    Property and real estate portals

    Listings, search, virtual tours and a CRM that catches every enquiry, for developers and brokers selling to local and overseas buyers.

  2. 02

    Service marketplaces and booking

    Booking flows for home services, clinics, salons and rentals, where customers expect to book and pay in a few taps.

  3. 03

    Shopify stores for regional brands

    Stores that sell across the UAE and the wider Gulf, with the payment methods, delivery options and languages shoppers expect.

  4. 04

    WhatsApp-first customer service

    Many UAE customers would rather message than fill in a form. AI agents on the WhatsApp Business Platform answer them in seconds.

Working hours

8 hours of shared working time, every weekday

Pakistan is 1 hour ahead of the UAE today. Calls and reviews fit inside the hours we share.

9:00 to 18:00 in each country, shown in UAE time.

Working together

Working with us from the UAE

  • One hour apart

    Pakistan is one hour ahead of the UAE, so calls, reviews and quick questions happen in your normal working day.

  • Calls and WhatsApp

    Video calls for planning and reviews, and WhatsApp for quick questions, in the way UAE businesses already work.

  • Weekly progress you can see

    A working preview link every week, so you can check progress on your own phone.

  • Fixed quotes

    Every project gets a fixed quote before work starts, agreed after the first call.

Payments and rules

Built for how the UAE pays, and what the law expects

General information, not legal advice. Your lawyer has the final word on compliance.

Payments customers expect

  • Cards and Apple Pay or Google Pay

    Through gateways that support UAE merchants, set up on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom checkout.

  • Buy now, pay later

    Instalment options such as Tabby and Tamara where your platform and products qualify.

  • Jaywan cards

    The UAE's domestic card scheme, accepted for online purchases as gateways add support.

  • Cash on delivery

    Still expected by some shoppers, especially for first orders, and easy to offer alongside online payment.

Rules we build around

  • UAE Personal Data Protection Law

    Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 governs how personal data is collected and used. Free zones with their own data laws, such as DIFC and ADGM, follow those instead. We build consent, privacy notices and data access around the rules that apply to you.

  • Arabic and right-to-left support

    Arabic pages need mirrored layouts, Arabic fonts and careful handling of mixed Arabic and English text. We design for both directions from the first wireframe.

  • Clear prices and policies

    Prices in AED, delivery costs and return policies shown clearly before payment, which builds trust and reduces abandoned carts.
