Who it’s for
Who our websites are for
Businesses outgrowing a template
A site that looks designed rather than themed, loads fast on a phone and is structured around what your visitors need to do.
Service companies that need leads
Clear service pages, pricing and booking or enquiry flows, wired to analytics so you can see what converts.
Online stores
Shopify and WooCommerce builds. Our founder built BabyStore.ae on Shopify, and our co-founder’s e-commerce work spans WooCommerce and Shopify.
Teams who edit every week
A CMS you control, so changing a sentence never means emailing a developer.
Our approach
Why custom, and why fast
Template sites look like template sites, and most are slow. Your website is the one place every visitor meets your brand, yet many businesses treat it as a brochure that never changes. We start from your positioning and what visitors need to do, then design a system (type, color, spacing and components) rather than a stack of one-off pages.
We build server-rendered pages so they are fast, accessible and readable by search engines and AI assistants, then measure real Core Web Vitals before we call the site finished. You get a site that is easy to update and a structure that SEO work can build on.
We are based in Dubai and work with clients across the UAE and abroad, with calls scheduled in your time zone.

Proof
Website work
This site is the build we can show
Our public portfolio is design and motion work; we haven’t published a website case study yet. What you can inspect is dawnwire.com itself: a Next.js site with server-rendered pages, an admin-editable content store, a booking flow and structured data, designed and built by our team. On a call we will walk you through how it is put together, and through the e-commerce builds in our founders’ background.

FAQ
Web design questions
How much does a website cost in Dubai?
Our custom websites start from $6,000, and a single landing page fits our Launch package from $2,500. What moves the price is the number of distinct templates, whether the content exists, how your team needs to edit it, and any motion, e-commerce or integrations. You get a fixed scope and price in writing after a free call.
How long does it take to build a website?
Four to ten weeks depending on scope: about two weeks for discovery and structure, two to three for design, then build, content and testing. A landing page can be much faster.
Do you build in WordPress or Next.js?
Both. Next.js is our default for fast, custom sites and web apps; WordPress suits teams who want its editor and plugin ecosystem. Online stores usually run on Shopify or WooCommerce. We recommend one on the call based on who edits the site and what it needs to do.
Will we be able to edit the website ourselves?
Yes. Every build ships with a CMS your team controls, and we show you how to use it at handover. Changing text, images, posts or pages doesn’t need a developer.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes, on Shopify or WooCommerce. Our founder built BabyStore.ae on Shopify, and our co-founder’s e-commerce work spans WooCommerce and Shopify for businesses in Dubai, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Is SEO included?
The technical foundations are: clean URLs, metadata, a sitemap, structured data, redirects from your old site and a speed pass. Ongoing SEO (keyword strategy, content and reporting) is a separate monthly service.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. We audit what you have (content, rankings and analytics), keep what is working, and map a redirect for every old URL so you don’t lose search traffic at launch.
Do you work with clients outside Dubai?
Yes. We are based in Dubai and work with clients across the UAE and abroad, remotely, with calls scheduled in your time zone.
