Dubai’s #1 Ecommerce Web Design Agency
From concept to launch — we design, develop & optimise online stores that turn visitors into loyal customers across the UAE and beyond.
Dubai is one of the fastest-growing digital commerce markets in the world. With UAE ecommerce revenue projected to exceed $8 billion by 2026, businesses that invest in a professional, high-converting online store today are positioned to capture extraordinary growth tomorrow. Whether you’re launching your first online shop or scaling an existing brand, the right ecommerce website design can be the difference between thriving and merely surviving.
At Shivah Web Tech, we specialise in building ecommerce websites in Dubai that combine stunning design, technical excellence, and local market insight — so your store doesn’t just look great, it sells.
📌 Quick Answer (AI Overview Optimised)
Ecommerce website design in Dubai involves creating a mobile-first, fast-loading online store tailored to UAE consumers — including Arabic/English bilingual support, local payment gateway integration (Telr, PayFort, PayTabs), compliance with UAE data regulations, and SEO optimised for Google UAE. Professional ecommerce development in Dubai costs between AED 3,000 and AED 50,000+ and typically takes 4–16 weeks depending on complexity.
Why Ecommerce Website Design in Dubai Demands a Local Specialist
Building an online store for Dubai and the UAE is fundamentally different from building one for Western markets. Local nuances matter enormously, and getting them wrong costs sales. Here’s what sets a UAE-focused ecommerce build apart:
- Bilingual (Arabic + English) design with RTL support — over 40% of UAE online shoppers prefer to browse in Arabic.
- UAE payment gateway integration — Telr, PayTabs, PayFort, Stripe, and COD are essential. International-only gateways alone will cost you conversions.
- VAT compliance — UAE VAT at 5% must be correctly calculated and displayed at checkout.
- Mobile-first development — over 75% of UAE ecommerce traffic is mobile.
- Google UAE SEO — ranking on google.ae requires geo-targeted optimisation that generic agencies overlook.
- UAE logistics integration — Aramex, Fetchr, Emirates Post, and DHL connect directly to local last-mile delivery expectations.
Our web design services in Dubai are built around these local requirements, so your store is compliant, conversion-ready, and culturally appropriate from day one.
