How much does a website cost in Dubai in 2026?
Short answer: about AED 375 to 1,000 from a classifieds freelancer, AED 3,000 to 8,000 for a basic agency brochure site, and AED 8,000 to 18,000 for a typical small-business site from a Dubai agency. Hosting and maintenance often add AED 200 to 2,000 a month. Here is what each price buys, and how to get a fixed-price site live in days instead.
Website cost in the UAE, by option
Ranges compiled in October 2026 from published UAE agency price guides and classified listings. Agencies benefit from high numbers, so treat these as rough bands, not quotes.
What pushes a UAE website quote up
English and Arabic
A real right-to-left Arabic version takes translation and layout work, not a mirrored English page.
Number of pages
Each service, branch or community page adds design and writing time.
Selling online
Product setup and a payment gateway move a site into the e-commerce band.
Maintenance
Many cheap sites are never updated. Ask who fixes it, and what that costs.
SEO work
On-page SEO is a build task; ongoing SEO retainers are a separate monthly cost.
Photos and copy
If you do not have them, someone has to write the words and shoot or source the images.
What a Grippy Code website costs in AED
Fixed, published prices with no setup fee on monthly plans; the first 6 months are billed upfront (about AED 2,180 to AED 10,995).
Buy-once sites include 12 months of hosting, then about AED 1,100 a year ($299). No VAT added at checkout — the price you see is the price you pay (billed in USD). Not sure which model suits you?
