Website redesign for a dental practice in Doha: budget, timeline and risks (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

A dental practice in West Bay, The Pearl, Al Sadd or Lusail treating Qatari families and expatriates needs a bilingual English and Arabic site, fast on mobile and careful in its promises. At Kolonell, the redesign costs USD 4,900 on Growth for a single-language site, or USD 8,900 on Premium (the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote, right-to-left layout scope defined in the quote), with online booking on quote. The main risks are losing treatment pages that already rank, a poorly tested booking integration and advertising content published without the approval required locally.

Which signs show a redesign is needed?

• The Arabic version is an incomplete machine translation, or does not exist.
• Treatment pages (implants, clear aligners, whitening, paediatric care) are short, with no practical information or indicative prices where the practice wants to show them.
• The site shows before/after photos presented as guaranteed results.
• Booking goes through a form that asks for a full medical history.
• Dentist profiles do not mention qualifications or are out of date.

What budget for the redesign in 2026?

Local amounts: 2026 ballpark based on typical Doha agency quotes, converted at the pegged rate of about QAR 3.64 to the dollar.

A review of the Arabic version by an independent native reviewer, if the practice wants one, is a third-party cost. Photos of the practice by a local photographer are also a third-party cost. See the Kolonell international offer.

Which risks and what timeline?

Private healthcare facilities in Qatar are licensed by the Ministry of Public Health, which also oversees their advertising; check with your adviser which process applies to your website. Law No. 13 of 2016 on personal data privacy applies to online data collection. This is not legal advice.

Kolonell timeline once content is ready: week 1, URL inventory and English and Arabic mock-ups; week 2, treatment page and dentist profile copy; week 3, build, migration and redirects; week 4, review and approval by the practice, then switchover. Allow extra time if advertising approval takes longer.

What to ask, and when to prefer a Doha agency?

Useful questions: does the Arabic version have its own URLs and its own 301 map? Who prepares the content approval file? Is the booking module quoted separately? What happens after the 3 included months of support (at Kolonell, on quote)?

A Doha agency is often preferable if you want a team that already knows the local approval process and follows it for you, on-site meetings in West Bay or video shoots in the practice. Kolonell fits when you want a fixed price, native English copywriting and a project manager reachable in your time zone.

Mini case study

Illustrative example: Lusail Crescent Dental, a 4-dentist practice in Lusail with a 22-page English-only site, 7 treatment pages of which bring most of the traffic. The practice wants to add Arabic.

• Kolonell Premium redesign, English and Arabic, RTL set in the quote: USD 8,900.
• Booking module: on quote.
• Independent native Arabic reviewer (third-party cost): 22 pages x QAR 150 = QAR 3,300, roughly USD 900.
• Total excluding booking: about USD 9,800, against a local bilingual quote of QAR 50,000 (roughly USD 13,700).

The 7 treatment pages keep their English URLs, the Arabic pages get their own URLs, and 30 301 redirects cover merged pages.
