Website redesign in Dubai

If your website is slow on a phone, hard to find on Google, or simply looks older than your business, a redesign fixes all three at once. I rebuild existing websites for Dubai businesses into fast, modern sites, without losing the search rankings and links you already have.

Signs your website needs a redesign

  • It takes more than a few seconds to load on a phone.
  • It shows up on Google for your name, but not when people search for what you sell.
  • Contacting you takes effort: no WhatsApp button, a long form, a phone number buried in the footer.
  • It looks dated next to your competitors, or next to your own Instagram.
  • You cannot get changes made, because whoever built it has moved on or controls the account.
  • It is English-only, and many of your customers would rather read Arabic.

A redesign that keeps what already works

Redesigns go wrong when they throw away what Google already knows about you. Before anything changes, I go through your current site: what loads slowly, which pages get visitors, which pages rank, and which other sites link to you. Then:

  • Pages that bring in visitors keep their addresses, or are redirected properly to their new ones, so rankings and links carry over.
  • Your content is moved across and tightened, not lost.
  • Your domain stays yours, and anything held in someone else's account, such as the domain or hosting, is moved into your name.
  • The new site is checked against the old one before launch: speed, mobile layout and every important link.

What changes

  • Speed. Built as lean, fast pages rather than a heavy page builder, so the site loads quickly even on mobile data.
  • Mobile first. Designed for the phone your customers actually use, then scaled up to larger screens.
  • A proper search foundation. Page titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap, set up so Google understands what you offer and where.
  • Contact in one tap. WhatsApp, call and form, placed where people look for them.
  • Arabic, if you need it. A full Arabic version with a proper right-to-left layout. More on bilingual websites.

You can check the difference yourself: run your current site through Google's PageSpeed test on mobile, then run any of the concept builds on my demos page, and compare.

How a redesign runs

  • Review. You send me your current site. I tell you what I would change and why, with a fixed quote.
  • Design. You see the new direction on your key pages before the full build starts.
  • Build. The new site is built and your content moved across, with progress you can click through.

What it costs, and how long it takes

Website redesigns start from AED 9,000 and usually take 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to launch.

Every redesign is quoted at a fixed price, page by page, once I have seen your current site. See all services and prices. Website care plans for ongoing updates start from AED 300 a month. If you need more than a website, such as a logged-in area for your customers, see client portal development.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website redesign cost in Dubai?

Website redesigns start from AED 9,000. The fixed quote depends on how many pages the site has, whether it needs an Arabic version, and how much of the content needs rewriting rather than moving across. You get it before any work starts, broken down page by page.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?

Not if it is done carefully. Rankings are tied to your pages' addresses and content, so pages that bring in visitors keep their addresses or get permanent (301) redirects to the new ones, and their content carries over. Expect some movement for a few weeks while Google re-reads the site.

Can you redesign a WordPress or Wix website?

Yes. I rebuild the site rather than reskinning the old one, so it does not matter what it was built with. Your content, images and page addresses are moved across from whatever platform it is on now.

Can you just make my current website faster instead?

Sometimes. If the slowness comes from a few oversized images or plugins, fixing those costs less than a redesign, and I will tell you so. If it comes from how the site is built, a rebuild is usually the better use of the money.

Will I still be able to edit the site myself?

Content changes can be handled for you on a monthly care plan. If your team needs to edit pages themselves every week, say so at the start and editing is planned into the build rather than added later.

How long does a website redesign take?

A redesign usually takes 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how many pages the site has and how quickly content and feedback come back. You get the timeline with the fixed quote, before any work starts.
