Website Design Cost in the UAE and Saudi Arabia: The Complete Pricing Guide
Smart Wind · July 28, 2026
"How much does a website cost?" is the first question every business owner asks — and the one with the most conflicting answers. Prices genuinely range from a few thousand dirhams to tens of thousands, and the difference isn't random. This guide explains exactly what you're paying for.
What drives the cost
- Page count and type: a 5-page brochure site is a different project from a 40-page platform with booking systems.
- Custom design: templates are cheaper; custom design differentiates you and builds trust with visitors.
- Languages: proper Arabic + English support with correct RTL/LTR handling takes real design and engineering effort.
- Custom systems: bookings, client portals, third-party integrations.
- Content: do you have copy and photography, or do you need professional content creation?
Realistic Gulf-market price ranges
- Essential brochure website: 3,500–7,000
- Complete bilingual company website: 7,000–15,000
- Custom platform or large corporate site: 15,000+
These ranges apply roughly equally in AED and SAR given the currencies' similar values.
Beware of very cheap offers
A 1,000-dirham website is usually a recycled template with no SEO foundation and no post-launch support. You'll pay double later to fix or rebuild it.
