Lahore engineering hub, serving Dubai & the UAE
Web Design CompanyDubai
10silicon is a web design company Dubai businesses bring in when their website no longer reflects the company behind it. We plan, design and build corporate websites, landing pages and redesigns for firms across Dubai and the UAE. Design happens in Figma, every layout is drawn mobile-first, and Arabic right-to-left versions are designed next to English rather than flipped at the last minute.
Our designers sit beside our engineers in a Lahore engineering hub one hour behind Gulf Standard Time. Across 7+ years and 100+ projects we have seen most weak websites fail before any code is written: unclear page goals, a borrowed sitemap and mock-ups nobody opened on a phone. Our process fixes those first.

What we build
Services for Dubai businesses
Discovery and sitemap
Interviews, an analytics and competitor review, and a sitemap that gives every page one job and one primary action.
Wireframes and UI design in Figma
Greyscale wireframes to agree structure, then desktop and mobile screens with real copy and a clickable prototype.
Brand-consistent design systems
Type, colour, spacing and components kept in a Figma library, so pages added after launch still match your brand.
Arabic and RTL layouts
Mirrored layouts and Arabic typefaces picked for small screens, tested with real Arabic text.
Conversion-focused landing pages
Campaign pages for Google Ads, Meta and exhibition traffic, built around one offer with WhatsApp and form capture.
Handoff and build
Annotated specs and a build on WordPress or Next.js by the same team, so no detail is lost between designer and developer.

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.

Why it works
Why a Lahore design team works for Dubai brands
Design runs on conversation. You react to layouts, push back on copy and want changes while the discussion is fresh, which only works when the design team keeps your hours. Our designers are in Lahore, one hour behind Gulf Standard Time, so an 11am review in Dubai Media City is 10am for them and revised screens usually arrive the same day.
We also close the gap between design and build. Designers and developers are full-time colleagues in one office, so feasibility is checked while the design is still in Figma. We have no Dubai office; reviews run over video, with on-site consultation in Dubai for kick-off workshops.
Agency vs offshore vs hybrid
Choosing a web design dubai partner: how the options compare
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.
| Criteria | Dubai agency | Offshore shop | 10silicon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indicative hourly rate | USD 60 - 120 | USD 15 - 35 | USD 25 - 45 |
| Working-hours overlap with GST | Full | Often 2 - 4 hours | Full (Lahore is GST minus 1) |
| Who you talk to | Account manager | Rotating contacts | Named engineer and project lead |
| Demos | Monthly or at milestones | Varies | Every two weeks on a staging URL |
| Code and accounts | Usually yours | Sometimes theirs | Always in your repos and cloud accounts |
| In-person meetings | At their office | Rare | Video any time; on-site in Dubai by arrangement |
| Arabic / RTL and UAE payments | Yes | Varies | Yes, standard on every build |
UAE-ready by default
Built for how business works in Dubai
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.
Fit
What to expect from a web design company in Dubai
A useful brief to a web design agency in Dubai describes a problem, not a colour. A dated corporate website design needs a new visual language and design system. A poor mobile experience needs responsive web design that starts at phone width. A weak enquiry rate needs UX research and landing page design, not a new logo. We agree the problem and how to measure it, such as form submissions or WhatsApp clicks, before presenting a single screen.
Process
From sitemap to Figma to a live website
Strategic Discovery produces the content inventory, sitemap and greyscale wireframes, so structure is approved on its own merits. UI design in Figma then adds your brand and the component library that becomes your design system.
Agile Engineering turns approved screens into a working site. Content-heavy marketing sites usually go on WordPress, built by our WordPress development team in Dubai, while sites that need app-like speed or integrations go on Next.js with our web development team in Dubai. Unsure which fits? Read WordPress vs a custom website in the UAE. Deployment & Growth covers launch checks, analytics, redirects and editor training.
- Sitemap and wireframes approved before visual design
- Two revision rounds per key template, included in the price
- Clickable prototype checked on real phones before build
Bilingual
Arabic, RTL and accessibility from day one
An Arabic site is not an English site in a mirror. Navigation, directional icons, forms and image crops all change with reading direction, so we design both languages side by side and test with real Arabic copy; our guide to Arabic website development in the UAE explains why. We also design to WCAG 2.2 AA as a working target: readable contrast, visible focus states, logical headings and tap targets sized for a thumb.
Redesigns
Website redesign in Dubai without losing what works
A website redesign in Dubai often follows a rebrand, and the risk is discarding pages that already rank. Before we redraw anything we export every URL, check which pages earn traffic and enquiries, and plan redirects during design rather than after launch. For budgeting, see our breakdown of website design cost in Dubai.
