What Is Website Design & Development?

Website design and website development are closely related, but they cover different parts of the project.

Website Design

Website design focuses on areas such as:

Layout • Branding • Navigation • User Experience • Typography • Imagery • Calls to Action • Mobile Experience

The objective is to create a website that is easy to understand and use.

Website Development

Website development turns the approved design and functionality into a working website.

This can include:

Content Management System • Forms • Database Connections • E-Commerce Functionality • Third-Party Integrations • Analytics • Technical Configuration

Successful websites require both good design and reliable development.

For most projects, design and development should be planned together from the beginning.

Website Development Services in Dubai

Corporate Website Development

Corporate websites help businesses present their company, services, experience and credentials professionally.

Typical sections may include:

Home • About Us • Services • Industries • Projects • Clients • Team • Insights • Careers • Contact

Corporate websites can be developed around objectives such as:

Brand Credibility • Lead Generation • Business Development • Investor Information • Recruitment • Customer Support

The structure should reflect how prospective customers evaluate the organisation.

Business Website Development

EDS develops websites for SMEs, professional-services firms and growing businesses requiring a clear and credible digital presence.

Projects can include:

Service Pages • Location Pages • Enquiry Forms • WhatsApp Integration • Contact Forms • Maps • Client Logos • Testimonials • Case Studies • Blog or Insights Sections

The website architecture should make it easy for users and search engines to understand the business.

E-Commerce Website Development

E-commerce websites allow businesses to present and sell products online.

An e-commerce project may involve:

Product Categories • Product Pages • Search & Filters • Shopping Cart • Checkout • Payment Gateway • Customer Accounts • Order Management • Delivery Options • Analytics

Additional requirements may include:

Inventory Integration • CRM Integration • ERP Integration • Coupon Systems • Product Feeds • Marketing Automation

The exact functionality depends on the business model and technical requirements.

Landing Page Development

Landing pages are focused pages designed around a particular campaign or conversion objective.

They can support:

Google Ads • Social Media Advertising • Lead Generation • Product Launches • Events • Property Campaigns • Registrations • Promotions

A strong landing page typically includes:

Clear Headline • Relevant Offer • Supporting Information • Trust Signals • Strong Call to Action • Simple Conversion Path

Landing pages should be aligned with the advertisement that brings users to them.

Website Redesign

An existing website may require redesign when:

The design appears dated

Mobile usability is poor

Navigation is confusing

Pages load slowly

Content no longer reflects the business

Lead generation is weak

The website structure makes SEO difficult

The technology is difficult to maintain

EDS can evaluate the existing website before recommending whether selected sections should be improved or whether a broader rebuild is more appropriate.

WordPress Website Development

WordPress can be suitable for many corporate, service and content-driven websites.

Depending on the project, WordPress can provide:

Content Management • Page Editing • Blog Management • User Roles • Plugins • SEO Integration • Form Integration • E-Commerce Extensions

EDS can develop WordPress websites when the platform is appropriate for the client’s requirements.

However, the technology should follow the project requirement rather than forcing every business into the same website structure.

Custom Website Development

Some businesses require functionality beyond a standard corporate website.

Custom development may involve:

Custom Workflows • User Portals • Databases • API Integrations • Booking Systems • Calculators • CRM Connections • Application Interfaces

Before recommending custom development, the functional requirements, budget, security considerations and long-term maintenance requirements should be defined clearly.

Responsive Website Design

A responsive website adapts its layout according to the user’s screen size.

Websites should provide a usable experience across:

Desktop • Laptop • Tablet • Smartphone

Mobile responsiveness is particularly important because customers may discover, research and contact businesses from different devices.

Responsive design should consider:

Navigation • Font Size • Buttons • Forms • Images • Page Width • Calls to Action

rather than simply shrinking the desktop website.

Mobile-First Website Design

Mobile-first planning means considering the mobile user experience from the beginning of the project.

Important areas include:

Fast Access to Information • Simple Navigation • Readable Text • Easy Forms • Click-to-Call • WhatsApp • Clear Calls to Action

For many businesses, mobile users may represent a significant portion of website traffic.

User Experience – UX

User Experience, or UX, focuses on how easily people can use a website.

Good UX helps visitors answer questions such as:

Where am I?
What does this company offer?
Where can I find the information I need?
How do I contact the business?
What should I do next?

Website design should reduce unnecessary friction between the visitor and the desired action.

User Interface – UI

User Interface, or UI, covers the visible elements users interact with.

These can include:

Menus • Buttons • Forms • Cards • Tabs • Icons • Typography • Visual Hierarchy

UI should support usability rather than being decorative for its own sake.

Website Architecture

Website architecture defines how pages and information are organised.

A clear structure can help:

Users Navigate the Website

Search Engines Understand the Content

Businesses Expand the Website Later

Marketing Campaigns Send Users to Relevant Pages

A service-based business might use a structure such as:

Home → Services → Individual Service Pages → Industry Pages → Contact

The appropriate structure depends on the business.

Website Content Strategy

Website content should answer the questions prospective customers are actually asking.

Strong service pages can explain:

What the Service Is • Who It Is For • How It Works • Key Options • Costs or Cost Factors • Process • Frequently Asked Questions • Next Steps

Content should be written for users first while also helping search engines understand the page topic.

SEO-Friendly Website Development

Search Engine Optimization should be considered during website planning rather than added only after launch.

Technical and structural considerations can include:

Page Architecture • URL Structure • Heading Structure • Internal Linking • Mobile Compatibility • Crawlability • Metadata • Image Optimization • Structured Data Where Appropriate

SEO performance also depends on factors beyond development, including:

Content Quality • Competition • Authority • Search Demand • Ongoing Optimization

Website development alone does not guarantee search rankings.

Website Design for Google Ads

A website receiving paid search traffic should closely match the user’s intent.

For example:

A user clicking an advertisement for:

“Office Fit-Out Company Dubai”

should ideally arrive on a page specifically explaining that service rather than a generic homepage.

Relevant landing pages can improve:

Message Clarity • User Experience • Conversion Potential

This is why EDS can plan website development alongside Google Ads and lead-generation campaigns.

Website Design for Lead Generation

Lead-generation websites should make it easy for potential customers to take action.

Conversion points can include:

Enquiry Forms • Calls • WhatsApp • Appointment Requests • Quote Requests • Downloads • Registrations

The correct conversion path depends on the business.

A high-traffic website is not automatically successful if visitors do not complete meaningful actions.

EDS Website Development Insight

A visually impressive website is not automatically an effective website.

A website may look attractive but still underperform if:

Users cannot understand the offer

Navigation is confusing

Pages do not match customer intent

Forms are unnecessarily complicated

The website performs poorly on mobile

Calls to action are unclear

Important service information is missing

EDS therefore evaluates website projects around:

Business Objective + Audience + Content + User Experience + Conversion + Search Visibility

The design should support the business objective rather than compete with it.

How EDS Plans a Website Project

1. Business Requirements

We first understand:

The Business • Target Audience • Products or Services • Objectives • Competitors • Current Website

2. Website Scope

We define:

Required Pages • Functionality • Languages • Forms • Integrations • Content • Technical Requirements

3. Website Architecture

We plan how the pages and content should be organised.

4. User Journey

We consider how users will move from:

Discovery → Information → Evaluation → Action

5. Wireframe & Layout Planning

Key page structures can be planned before final visual development.

6. Design

Visual design is developed around the brand and user experience.

7. Content

Existing content may be migrated, edited or replaced according to the agreed scope.

8. Development

Approved layouts and functionality are implemented.

9. Testing

The website is reviewed across relevant browsers, screen sizes and functionality.

10. Launch

After approval, the website is prepared for launch according to the agreed deployment process.

11. Post-Launch Support

Ongoing maintenance, content changes or digital marketing support can be provided according to the agreed scope.

Website Discovery & Planning

Before development begins, it is useful to answer questions such as:

Who is the primary customer?

What does the website need visitors to do?

Which products or services are most important?

What information do customers need before contacting the business?

Does the website need multilingual content?

Are there existing systems that must be integrated?

How will website performance be measured?

A clearer brief generally leads to a stronger project.

What Information Does EDS Need From the Client?

Depending on the project, we may request:

Company Profile • Brand Guidelines • Logo Files • Product or Service Information • Existing Website Access • Photography • Videos • Team Information • Technical Requirements • Integration Details

If content creation is part of the project scope, EDS can also help structure and develop website copy.

Website Content Creation

Businesses sometimes have strong operational knowledge but limited website content.

EDS can help transform business information into structured web content covering areas such as:

Company Profile • Services • Industries • Processes • Benefits • FAQs • Calls to Action

Content requirements should be agreed as part of the project scope.

Website Photography & Video

Original visual content can significantly improve how a business is presented online.

Depending on requirements, EDS can coordinate:

Corporate Photography • Product Photography • Office Photography • Team Portraits • Corporate Video • Social Video

Stock images can also be used where appropriate, subject to licensing requirements.

Multilingual Website Development

Businesses operating in the UAE may require websites in multiple languages.

Potential languages can include:

English • Arabic • Other Languages According to Business Requirements

Multilingual development may require consideration of:

Translation • Navigation • Search Optimization • Right-to-Left Layout for Arabic • Content Management

The project scope should define whether content is translated, transcreated or supplied directly by the client.

Arabic Website Development

Arabic-language websites require more than simply translating English text.

Design considerations can include:

Right-to-Left Layout • Arabic Typography • Menu Structure • Forms • Icons • Page Alignment

Content should also be reviewed for language quality and market suitability.

Website Forms & Enquiries

Forms should collect enough information to qualify the enquiry without creating unnecessary friction.

Potential fields can include:

Name • Company • Email • Telephone • Required Service • Message

For more complex B2B services, additional qualifying questions may be useful.

For simpler consumer enquiries, shorter forms may work better.

WhatsApp Integration

WhatsApp can provide another contact path for website visitors.

Depending on the business, websites can include:

WhatsApp Buttons • Pre-Filled Messages • Campaign-Specific Contact Links

Businesses should still consider how enquiries will be handled internally after users initiate contact.

CRM Integration

Websites can connect enquiry forms with customer relationship management systems.

Potential benefits include:

Centralised Leads • Faster Follow-Up • Lead Assignment • Sales Tracking • Automation

Integration requirements depend on the CRM and available technical connections.

Payment Gateway Integration

E-commerce and selected service websites may require online payments.

Payment integration can depend on:

Payment Provider • Business Licence • Merchant Account • Currency • Website Platform • Technical Requirements

EDS can coordinate development requirements, while payment-provider approval remains subject to the relevant provider.

Website Analytics

Analytics can help businesses understand website activity.

Depending on the agreed setup and applicable requirements, measurement can include:

Users • Sessions • Traffic Sources • Landing Pages • Conversions • Form Submissions • Campaign Activity

Analytics should be linked to meaningful business objectives rather than viewed only as traffic statistics.

Conversion Tracking

For websites supporting digital advertising, conversion tracking can help identify whether users complete important actions.

Potential conversions include:

Form Submission • Phone Click • WhatsApp Click • Purchase • Booking • Registration

Tracking capabilities depend on the website, platform, consent requirements and technical setup.

Website Performance

Website performance can affect user experience.

Important areas can include:

Page Loading • Image Optimization • Code Efficiency • Hosting Environment • Caching • Third-Party Scripts

Performance targets should be evaluated according to the website’s functionality and technical environment rather than relying on one universal score.

Website Security

Website security requires ongoing attention.

Potential measures can include:

Software Updates • Access Controls • SSL/TLS • Secure Passwords • Backups • Monitoring • Security Plugins or Services Where Appropriate

No website can be described as completely immune to security risks.

Maintenance and good operational practices are therefore important.

Website Maintenance & Support

Websites require ongoing management after launch.

Maintenance can include:

Software Updates • Plugin Updates • Backups • Security Checks • Content Changes • Technical Troubleshooting • Performance Review

The appropriate support arrangement depends on the website platform and business requirements.

Website Hosting

A website requires hosting or equivalent infrastructure so users can access it online.

Hosting requirements can vary according to:

Traffic • Website Size • Platform • E-Commerce Requirements • Security • Performance • Storage

EDS can discuss hosting requirements as part of the project.

There is no single hosting specification appropriate for every website.

Domain Names

A domain name is the website address used by customers to access the site.

Businesses should generally ensure that important digital assets such as their domain are registered and controlled appropriately.

EDS can assist with domain setup where required, subject to the project scope.

Website Migration

Businesses replacing an existing website may need to migrate:

Pages • Images • Blog Content • Forms • Products • SEO Metadata • Redirects

Migration should be planned carefully to reduce avoidable disruption.

Where URLs are changing, appropriate redirects may be required.

Website Redesign & SEO Migration

When an existing website already receives organic search traffic, redesign should consider SEO before launch.

Important areas can include:

Existing URLs • High-Performing Pages • Internal Links • Metadata • Redirects • Indexation • Content Migration

Changing a website without considering these factors can create unnecessary search visibility risk.

Website Accessibility

Accessible design helps make website content easier to use for a wider range of people.

Considerations can include:

Readable Text • Clear Navigation • Image Alternative Text • Form Labels • Keyboard Usability • Colour Contrast

The required accessibility standard depends on the organisation and project.

Website Design for B2B Companies

B2B websites frequently need to establish trust before generating an enquiry.

Useful content can include:

Capabilities • Industries • Case Studies • Clients • Team Expertise • Process • FAQs • Contact Options

The customer journey may be longer than for a simple consumer purchase, so the website should support research and evaluation.

Website Design for B2C Businesses

Consumer websites may place greater emphasis on:

Products • Offers • Locations • Reviews • Visual Content • Fast Navigation • Easy Contact • Online Purchasing

Mobile usability can be particularly important.

Website Development for Real Estate

Real estate websites may require:

Project Pages • Property Listings • Floor Plans • Image Galleries • Enquiry Forms • Maps • Investment Information • Lead Tracking

Requirements differ significantly between developers, brokers and property portals.

Website Development for Healthcare

Healthcare websites may include:

Doctor Profiles • Services • Locations • Appointment Requests • Patient Information • Educational Content

Content and advertising must comply with applicable healthcare and regulatory requirements.

Website Development for Restaurants & Hospitality

Hospitality websites may include:

Menus • Locations • Reservations • Rooms • Facilities • Galleries • Offers • Maps • Contact Information

Integration requirements may include booking or reservation systems.

Website Development for Professional Services

Professional-services websites should communicate:

Expertise • Services • Industries • Credentials • Team • Insights • Contact Routes

Clarity and credibility often matter more than visual complexity.

Website Development for E-Commerce Brands

E-commerce projects should consider the full customer journey:

Product Discovery → Product Information → Cart → Checkout → Payment → Order Confirmation

Friction at any point can reduce conversion performance.

Website Development for Startups

Startups may require websites for:

Market Launch • Investor Communication • Lead Generation • Product Explanation • Recruitment

The appropriate scope should reflect the stage of the business rather than automatically building unnecessary functionality.

Website Development Cost in Dubai

There is no single standard price for website development.

Cost depends on factors such as:

Number of Pages • Design Complexity • Platform • E-Commerce Requirements • Custom Functionality • Integrations • Content Creation • Photography • Languages • SEO Requirements • Maintenance

A simple corporate website and a custom e-commerce platform require very different resources.

For an accurate proposal, send EDS:

Business Type • Website Objective • Approximate Number of Pages • Required Features • Languages • Existing Website • Required Integrations

What Affects Website Development Cost?

Number of Pages

Larger websites require more design, content and implementation work.

Custom Design

Custom layouts can require more planning than adapting standard structures.

Functionality

Booking systems, portals, databases and calculators increase development requirements.

E-Commerce

Product management, checkout, payment and order functionality add complexity.

Content

Copywriting, photography and video can form part of the project scope.

Languages

Multilingual websites require additional development and content management.

Integrations

CRM, ERP, payment, marketing and other integrations can increase technical scope.

SEO Requirements

Migration planning, technical SEO and content optimization can add additional work.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?

There is no universal development timeline.

Project duration depends on:

Scope • Number of Pages • Design Approvals • Functionality • Content Availability • Integrations • Client Feedback • Testing

A relatively simple corporate website may require less time than a multilingual or custom e-commerce project.

EDS can provide an estimated project schedule after the scope has been defined.

 

Some Of Our Well Known Clients In UAE

Our website packages start at approximately AED 5,000; however they vary depending on your needs. We recently published a guide on how much it costs for a website that provides an overview of the different options available.

The process of creating a website for your business takes time and careful planning. Unlike other agencies, we don’t use templates. We build your website from scratch, which means you get a unique design tailored around your business. A website created by us should not be seen as just another expense; it’s an investment in your business that should earn you money.

It takes an average of 6-10 weeks to build a website from start to finish, provided we have all the information we need from you. Here is our full web design process. Generally speaking, the process will only take a long time if you’re still waiting for text and images from yourself.

When we begin working together, we will usually have an initial telephone conversation to discuss the project. After that, most of the communication will take place by email.
To make the process easier, we’ll save all of your information, and we will contact you when the project is complete. We will also schedule a one-hour session to go over our findings, which will be included in your package.

Depending on the type of website you want, we will be able to discuss this on our discovery call before we start working together. Depending on which package we agree on, there may be some additional elements we will need to include in order to make your vision a reality.

Images of you and your team
Images of your workplace
Content for the website e.g. text, PDFs etc
Staff Profiles
Any Videos you would like adding to the website
Login details to your existing website

Some of this might already be on the existing website, in which case it can be transferred over to the new site.

We offer a risk-free guarantee. Before we build your new website, we’ll create a mockup of your homepage. We’ll design a layout in Photoshop first so that you can see our initial designs within approximately ten days. This is the opportunity to give us feedback and if you really don’t like it, you don’t have to move forward. Best part is, this won’t cost you anything.

Yes, we require 50% payment in advance of beginning work. The first 50% is due when you sign the contract and the second 50% is due when we send you a mockup of your homepage.

We find that it can take longer than expected to complete projects. We might be waiting for information from you, which can delay the process. This is why we always invoice 30 days after the original payment. At this point, you’ll be able to see the progress we’ve made on your new website.

We will generally host your website for you, so you don’t need to worry about it. We use the same hosting company for our own website and for all our clients. Each website is individually managed to avoid any security issues. Every website we build has unlimited bandwidth, 20GB of disk space, 2GB of RAM, and 99.9% uptime. We’ve used our current provider for five years, and we don’t plan on changing this anytime soon.

We can arrange a maintenance package to suit your needs, ranging from one hour per month to ten hours per month. We will work with you to determine the most appropriate plan for your business.

Yes, we like to give our clients the ability to make website changes. We provide training and tools so they can update their content. We use a popular platform called WordPress, which allows clients to add, edit, and delete content without paying us to do it for them.

We’ll build your website with features you choose, including an email sign-up form. We’ll design your site from scratch to fit in with your style and branding.

You will need an email marketing platform, such as Aweber, Mailchimp or Convert Kit. These services provide a secure and reliable means of collecting customer data without sacrificing your customers’ privacy. We can set up these services on your behalf; however, they do come at an additional cost.

Yes, you can! We develop our websites using WordPress, so you can make changes to your site yourself without needing to know how to code. Our helpful videos will also teach you how to use it.

You can have as many pages on your website as you want. We will design you three page layouts: a homepage, a blog page and an inner page, such as your about page. Once we’ve created these layouts for you, you can use whichever one you like for each new page you want to add.

Depending on the package you choose, we can provide content for your website. We have a copywriter in-house who will create the content for your site.

Before we begin, we will ask you a series of questions so that we can better understand your business and its needs. We will then research your market and suggest a series of pages that will best showcase your products and services. We will learn as much as we need to know about your company in order to create compelling words that inspire people to get in touch.

We design your website from scratch using a number of tools. We begin by using Adobe Photoshop to create a wireframe, and then we move this onto the Web using a platform known as WordPress.

We only use WordPress to build websites. We have used other platforms in the past, but not anymore. WordPress is a platform that’s easily accessible for our clients to update themselves; it’s search engine friendly and easy to integrate with third party companies. If you’re interested in learning more about why we only use WordPress to build websites, click here .

If you already have a website, we can build a new website while your other site is still live. Then we can swap the old site with the new one, taking as little as 10 minutes for your new site to be visible. This means you will barely even notice any dip in traffic numbers.

Yes. Your website will be fully responsive and look great on all devices. This is included in our standard service.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as search engine requirements change regularly. However, we have seen our clients achieve a first-page ranking for their main keywords within two days of launching their website, and we have also seen it take two to three months for a client’s site to appear on the first page of results in Google.

However, there is no guarantee that your website will ever be ranked on the first page of Google for your primary keywords, as some of your competitors may have greater marketing budgets and more historical data from which to optimize.

If you already have too many customers to handle and do not wish to attract more, you may not need a website. However, if you wish to expand your business or become the go-to person in your field, a website is an excellent way to do so.

Standard websites require less work to get them launched than do websites such as Facebook, Amazon and Twitter. This is because standard websites require fewer hours of work just to get the website launched. Also, it is easier to keep a standard website running smoothly than it is to keep one of these other types of sites running smoothly.

Yes. We will buy the images for your website. We use stock image websites such as Depositphotos, Shutterstock and 123rf to purchase professional images for use on websites.

Hosting is like renting space on the internet. If you don’t have a hosting plan, no one will be able to access your website.

Hosting usually costs less than AED1,000 per year. The cost can vary greatly depending on your requirements. The more site traffic you have, the more expensive hosting will be.

We will host your website for the first year for free. After that, we will send you an invoice for hosting fees once a year after the initial year. You can choose to manage the website yourself or host it elsewhere, at your discretion.

Of course. You’re buying a website from us. We want to make your transition as smooth as possible, so we’ll buy the domain for you and host the first year for free. After that, we’ll send you an annual invoice for renewal and hosting fees.

As we mentioned previously, the cost of a domain name is usually AED 250. If you would like to purchase your domain name from us, we can discuss further details with you.

You will control the domain. We will register the domain in your name and address, and you will be able to modify its settings or transfer ownership if you choose.

Depending on the package you choose, our work can be ongoing or start-up. We offer packages that will get your website off to a great start.
The Digital Elite website plan includes on-page SEO for ten pages. We will perform keyword research and optimise it for search engines.

We offer monthly SEO plans that begin at AED 2,500+VAT per month. This is generally a starter plan for a local business with moderate competition. Our other clients pay over AED 3,000+VAT per month for our services, depending on how much work will be required and how much competition they face in their industry.

We monitor rankings using our proprietary software. Our reports will indicate what’s working and what’s not, enabling you to make adjustments as needed. We’ll send a monthly report so you can see your traffic numbers and rankings. Here are some of the recent rankings from our previous clients:
