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.

Production launch with monitoring, documentation and a growth plan: performance, SEO, analytics and a maintenance retainer if you want one.

Why it works
A Lahore engineering hub serving Dubai
Dubai agencies with in-house teams charge Dubai salaries, and that cost lands in your quote. Pure offshore shops are cheaper but leave you managing time zones, unclear ownership and quality you cannot verify. 10silicon sits between the two: our engineers, designers and QA are full-time employees in our Lahore office, one hour behind Gulf Standard Time, so your working day and ours overlap almost completely.
You get a named project lead who joins your calls, demos working software every two weeks, and is available on WhatsApp during UAE hours. We do not claim a Dubai office. What we offer instead is video consultation at any stage and on-site consultation in Dubai for discovery workshops and launches, scheduled around your calendar.
Agency vs offshore vs hybrid
Choosing a web development 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
Who hires a web development company in Dubai
Most of our UAE web projects come from three kinds of clients. The first is a founder with a validated idea who needs a production-grade SaaS or marketplace built by a team that has done it before. The second is an established company in trading, logistics, property or professional services whose spreadsheets and email threads have become a bottleneck and who wants a portal or internal system that staff and customers actually use. The third is a marketing team that needs a website which loads fast on mobile, ranks in Google UAE and converts visitors into WhatsApp conversations.
If you are in one of those situations, the first conversation is free and takes about thirty minutes. We will tell you honestly whether a custom build, an off-the-shelf product or a WordPress site is the right answer for your budget and timeline.
Approach
How we build web platforms for UAE clients
We follow a three-step process on every project. Strategic Discovery produces a written scope, user flows, a data model and a milestone plan with a price for the first release. Agile Engineering runs in two-week sprints: each sprint ends with a demo on a staging URL you can share with your team, and nothing is marked done until it passes code review and automated tests. Deployment & Growth covers the production launch, monitoring, documentation, staff training and an optional retainer for improvements after go-live.
Two things matter especially for UAE clients. Arabic and right-to-left layout are planned from the start even if you launch in English first, because retrofitting them later is expensive. And payments, invoicing and data residency are designed around UAE requirements, including VAT-compliant invoices and hosting in a Gulf region when your customers or regulator expect it.
- Written scope and fixed price for the first milestone before development starts
- Staging environment from week one; demo every second Thursday in UAE hours
- Automated tests, code review and performance budgets on every release
- Source code, infrastructure and documentation handed over in your own accounts
Performance
Speed, security and search built in
A web platform that is slow on a mid-range Android phone over 4G in Deira will lose customers no matter how good the features are. We set performance budgets at the design stage, ship images in modern formats, render pages on the server where it helps search engines, and measure Core Web Vitals before and after launch. Security follows the same discipline: dependency scanning, parameterised queries, rate limiting, encrypted secrets and least-privilege access are standard, not add-ons.
Because 10silicon also runs SEO engagements for UAE companies, the technical foundations your site needs to rank are part of the build, not a separate project later: clean URLs, structured data, a real sitemap, server-rendered content and sensible internal linking.
Also known as
Web design company in Dubai, website development agency, SaaS developers
Businesses describe what they need in different words. Some search for a web design company in Dubai because the visible problem is an outdated site. Others look for a website development company, a SaaS development partner or a Next.js agency. We cover all of it with one team: UI/UX design, front-end and back-end engineering, hosting and ongoing SEO.
What does not change is the way we work. Design is done in Figma and approved before build, the site is engineered for Core Web Vitals and Arabic from day one, and everything lives in accounts you own. If you only need design, or only need engineering for a design you already have, we can take that part on its own.
