Website design in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi clients are mostly government suppliers, energy services firms, and ADGM companies around Al Maryah Island and Khalifa City. They need a measured bilingual site, credentials they can download, and a contact path procurement teams will actually use. Do not design it like a Dubai consumer brand. The enquiry form is still covered by the UAE PDPL, and hosting should be AWS UAE or Azure UAE North.
Planning range
AED 7,500 — AED 25,500
This is a planning range before VAT. Downloadable credentials and a procurement-friendly contact path are part of the lower end, not add-ons.
The project includes
- A bilingual structure, Arabic first where the market reads Arabic first
- Mobile layout, a clear contact path, and analytics
- A handover your team can edit without calling a developer for every change

Arabic has to shape the design itself, not be a translation pasted onto an English template.
