Why 10silicon in the UAE
Lahore engineering, UAE delivery.
Dubai agencies charge Dubai salaries. Offshore shops leave you managing the risk. 10silicon gives you a full-time senior team in one Lahore office, one hour behind Gulf Standard Time, with a named project lead on WhatsApp during your working day and a demo every two weeks.
We do not claim a Dubai office. We offer video consultation at any stage and on-site consultation in Dubai for workshops and launches, and we put everything in writing before work starts.

Dubai agency, offshore shop or 10silicon?
Rates are indicative 2026 market figures for senior work. The point is not the cheapest hour; it is senior engineers, full working-hours overlap and ownership of what you pay for.

How we work
Our 3-step process
- 1
Strategic Discovery
We map your goals, users, constraints and success metrics into a scoped plan with a fixed first milestone before any code is written.
- 2
Agile Engineering
Two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each one. You see working software, not status reports, and can change direction early.
- 3
Deployment & Growth
Production launch with monitoring, documentation and a growth plan: performance, SEO, analytics and a maintenance retainer if you want one.

UAE-ready by default
Built for how business works in UAE
Offshore teams often learn UAE requirements on your project. We treat them as standard scope, so Arabic, AED payments, VAT invoicing and data protection are designed in rather than bolted on.
- 01
Arabic & RTL interfaces
Bilingual English-Arabic layouts planned from the first wireframe, with right-to-left mirroring and Arabic typography that holds up on mobile.
- 02
UAE payment gateways
Integration with Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Stripe and bank gateways, plus Tabby and Tamara instalments and cash on delivery flows.
- 03
VAT and e-invoicing
FTA-compliant tax invoices with TRN, 5% VAT handling, credit notes and exports your accountant can reconcile.
- 04
Data protection by design
Built with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law in mind: consent records, access control, encryption and data residency in Gulf cloud regions when required.
- 05
Sector rules designed in
For fintech, healthcare and education builds we design for regulator expectations such as CBUAE, DHA and MOHAP requirements; compliance sign-off stays with your advisers.
- 06
WhatsApp-first customer flows
Click-to-chat, WhatsApp Business API notifications and lead capture, because that is how UAE customers actually get in touch.
Compliance sign-off for regulated sectors stays with your legal and regulatory advisers; we build to the requirements they specify.
