Market brief
What building for Abu Dhabi actually involves
Abu Dhabi buys differently from Dubai. The money is concentrated in government, energy and sovereign funds, procurement is slower and more formal, and the compliance bar on a public-facing site is higher.
Licensing
ADGM and mainland are different regimes
Abu Dhabi Global Market operates its own legal framework, separate from mainland UAE. Which one your entity sits in affects your data obligations, your contracting and sometimes where you are comfortable hosting. Worth knowing before anyone writes a privacy policy.
Data
The UAE has a federal data protection law
Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 sets consent and processing rules for personal data. Combined with sector rules in government and energy, it usually means tighter constraints on analytics, form data and third-party scripts than a comparable build elsewhere in the Gulf.
Procurement
Government-adjacent buyers need documentation
Selling into entities connected to government or the sovereign funds means your site is read as a credential. Case studies with named outcomes, accessibility conformance and a clear security posture do more work here than they do for a startup audience.
Language
Arabic-first is often the default, not the option
For government-facing work the Arabic version is frequently the primary one. That changes which language the design is composed around, and it is much cheaper to decide that at the start.
Testimonials
What founders say
“We stopped paying for separate landing pages. The homepage is now the highest-converting page we own.”
“The site stopped being a liability. Now procurement teams open it and we hear back the same week.”
Frequently asked
Common questions from Abu Dhabi founders
Yes. We work with UAE founders in-person or remotely - whichever suits your workflow. For Abu Dhabi clients we can meet on-site or run all review cycles over video call, Loom, or Slack. Most engagements run smoothly fully async.
We typically start within one week of signing the brief. We keep a limited number of active projects so every client gets focused attention from the senior team - not a hand-off to a junior.
Landing pages start at $1,000. Websites start at $4,000 for a focused marketing site, and full builds with a CMS, blog, and motion start at $9,000. Web apps and iOS/Android builds are scoped from there. AI automation starts at $3,000; a custom AI agent starts at $6,000 plus $400-$1,200 a month to run. SEO retainers are $1,000-$4,000 a month and social is $1,500-$5,000, both with a three-month minimum. Everything is invoiced in USD and itemised in a fixed-cost proposal after the briefing call.
Yes. We work with UAE-based founders across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. We understand the local enterprise, government-adjacent, and startup markets - including Masdar City tech companies, Hub71 startups, and ADGM-licensed businesses.
