WordPress websites in Dubai
A Dubai WordPress site is usually two languages the marketing team can publish without a developer, hosted in the AWS UAE region. Form entries fall under the UAE PDPL. If it becomes a store, Apple Pay and Tabby have to settle in dirhams and the invoice has to show 5% VAT. A page-builder template with Latin spacing and fonts is not an Arabic site.
