The verdict in three sentences
In Dubai, redesigning a B2B company website with a French-speaking agency is priced between AED 16,000 and AED 46,000 in 2026, for 6 to 12 pages, with a 4 to 8 week timeline. Hosting runs at AED 90-280/month and maintenance at AED 400-1,200/month. A site optimised for mobile and slower connections can generate up to +30 % mobile traffic, a decisive edge for a market where most traffic is mobile.
The three tiers
Agencies serving Dubai structure their offers into three tiers. The difference lies in page count, customisation and options (mobile payment, blog, local SEO). Here is the typical 2026 grid.
| Criterion | Essential | Growth | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price AED | 16,000 | 29,000 | 46,000 |
| Page count | 6-7 | 8-10 | 10-12 |
| Design | Custom | Bespoke | Bespoke + animation |
| Mobile optimisation | Included | Included | Enhanced |
| Payment integration | No | Option | Included |
| Local SEO Dubai | Basic | Advanced | Advanced + strategy |
| Timeline | 4 weeks | 6 weeks | 8 weeks |
| Maintenance/month AED | 400 | 800 | 1,200 |
For a growing Dubai SME, the Growth tier at AED 29,000 offers the best balance: bespoke design, advanced local SEO and a payment option to capture mobile-first customers.

Here is the breakdown of a median AED 29,000 project: Dubai services SME, 10 pages, bespoke design, local SEO, form connected to WhatsApp Business.
| Quote line | Quantity | Price AED | Total AED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scoping + sitemap | package | 3,300 | 3,300 |
| Bespoke UI design | package | 7,200 | 7,200 |
| Development (10 pages) | package | 9,900 | 9,900 |
| Mobile optimisation + Core Web Vitals | package | 2,600 | 2,600 |
| Copywriting + local SEO | package | 4,000 | 4,000 |
| QA + go-live + training | package | 2,000 | 2,000 |
| Project total | 29,000 | ||
| Hosting (annual) | 12 months | 200 | 2,400 |
On top of this come hosting (AED 90-280/month) and maintenance (AED 400-1,200/month), which guarantee security, backups and changes. Staged payment (often 50 % on order, 50 % on delivery) eases SME cash flow.
Mini case study
Amadou, sales director of a B2B distribution SME in Dubai, runs a slow, non-responsive site that drives prospects away on mobile. He invests AED 29,000 in a Growth redesign plus AED 800/month maintenance.
His old site received 2,000 visits/month with a 70 % mobile bounce rate. After mobile optimisation, he gains +30 % mobile traffic (600 extra visits) and halves the bounce rate. With a contact rate rising from 1 % to 3 % and an average deal of AED 4,600 at a 15 % close rate, he wins around 3 new clients/month, i.e. over AED 13,000 in additional monthly revenue. His investment is recouped in the first month of new contracts.

FAQ
Why redesign rather than keep the old site?
A slow, non-responsive site drives away up to 70 % of mobile visitors in a mobile-first market. A mobile-optimised redesign can add +30 % mobile traffic and double the contact rate, making the AED 16,000 investment quickly profitable.
Should I integrate mobile payment?
For a brochure site it is optional; but if you sell or collect deposits, payment integration is a strong differentiator. It is included in the Premium tier and available as an option elsewhere.
How much is hosting in Dubai in 2026?
Suitable managed hosting costs AED 90-280/month. It guarantees speed, backups and load times optimised for slower connections, essential for local ranking.
What is the timeline for a redesign in Dubai?
Between 4 and 8 weeks depending on tier: 4 weeks for Essential, 8 for Premium with animation and strategic SEO. Supplying your copy and visuals speeds the schedule.
Is maintenance mandatory?
It is strongly recommended: AED 400-1,200/month covers security, backups and minor changes. A site without maintenance becomes vulnerable and loses performance within a year.
