The verdict in three sentences
A group corporate website in Dubai is not a simple brochure site: it includes an investor relations area, content governance and trilingual EN/AR/FR with RTL support. In 2026, the budget runs from 150,000 to 450,000 MAD depending on scope. The trilingual premium, often underestimated, is 30,000 to 70,000 MAD and drives the group's international credibility.
Cost lines of a 2026 group site
Executive management must price every block. Here is the 2026 breakdown in MAD.
| Line | 2026 range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate website | 150,000-450,000 MAD | Corporate, governance, CMS |
| Investor relations area | 40,000-100,000 MAD | Reports, share price, releases |
| Trilingual EN/AR/FR | 30,000-70,000 MAD | Translation, RTL, templates |
| Premium design | 25,000-80,000 MAD | Dedicated art direction |
| Accessibility & security | 20,000-60,000 MAD | Audit, headers, compliance |
| Managed hosting | 5,000-15,000 MAD/year | CDN, SLA, backups |
| Annual maintenance | 30,000-120,000 MAD/year | Support, changes |
Realistic timelines span 5 to 9 months, with a dedicated project manager and regular reviews.
The trilingual premium and Arabic RTL
Going trilingual is not just translating text: it requires templates that flip to RTL for Arabic, native proofreading and per-language editorial governance. Here is the 2026 premium detail.
| Trilingual component | 2026 premium | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| EN to AR translation | 12,000-25,000 MAD | Native proofreading included |
| EN to FR translation | 10,000-20,000 MAD | Corporate register |
| Arabic RTL adaptation | 8,000-20,000 MAD | Mirror templates, typography |
| Per-language governance | 5,000-12,000 MAD | Multilingual CMS workflow |
Neglecting RTL early creates costly rework; it must be planned from template design, not bolted on afterwards.
The ROI: image, compliance and investor conversion
For a group, the site is a reputation asset: a clear, trilingual investor area strengthens international partner confidence and eases fundraising. Compliance (security, accessibility, data protection) guards against reputational risk, while editorial governance cuts internal publishing time from several days to a few hours.

Mr Benjelloun, communications director of a 900-employee agri-industrial group in Dubai, wants a trilingual site with an investor area. He selects a 320,000 MAD project: corporate site 210,000 MAD, investor area 60,000 MAD, trilingual 50,000 MAD. Adding maintenance of 60,000 MAD/year, the three-year cost reaches 500,000 MAD. Without editorial governance, publishing a trilingual press release took three man-days; with the workflow it drops to half a day. Across 40 publications a year, the estimated saving exceeds 90,000 MAD annually in internal time, paying back the workflow premium in under two years.
FAQ
How much does a group corporate site cost in Dubai in 2026?
The site alone runs 150,000 to 450,000 MAD depending on scope and design level. Adding an investor area and trilingual support, a full project frequently lands between 300,000 and 500,000 MAD.
Why does trilingual support cost so much?
The 30,000 to 70,000 MAD premium covers native translation, Arabic RTL adaptation and per-language editorial governance. RTL in particular must be designed from the templates to avoid costly rework.
What does an investor relations area include?
Annual and financial reports, share price, regulated releases and governance documents. Budget 40,000 to 100,000 MAD depending on automation and required security.
What is the delivery timeline?
From 5 to 9 months with a dedicated project manager and regular reviews, depending on content volume, languages and the complexity of the investor area.
What annual maintenance budget should I plan?
Between 30,000 and 120,000 MAD/year depending on criticality, SLA and volume of changes. A listed group should aim for the upper range to guarantee availability and compliance.
