How Our UAE Website Cost Calculator Works
Most cost calculators are a black box — you enter a few details and a number appears with no explanation. Here's exactly what goes into ours, in plain language.

Our Website Cost Estimator gives you a starting figure in seconds, based on three real factors — not a marketing gimmick designed to nudge you toward a bigger package. This page explains the actual logic underneath it, so you know exactly why you got the number you did.
Important: this always produces an estimate, not a final quote. The exact price is confirmed once we've talked through your specific project — but the estimate is a genuinely honest starting point, not a lowball figure designed to get you talking before the real price appears later.
3 Factors That Set Your Estimate
1. Which tier fits your project
This is the single biggest factor, and it decides the base price before anything else is added:
- AED 999 — Starter: a 5-page static site (Home, About, Services, Contact, plus one flexible page), no CMS, live in as little as 3 days.
- AED 2,500 — Standard Website: a full WordPress business site, up to 6 pages, client can self-edit after handover.
- AED 3,999 — WooCommerce or Shopify Store: an online store with up to 10 products added for you, on either platform (Growth and Custom tiers also available for larger stores).
2. Pages and content beyond the base tier
Each tier includes a set page count. Need more pages than the base tier covers? That's added on top, priced per page rather than folded silently into a bigger number.
3. Specific add-ons
A few real, named add-ons affect the estimate directly:
- Arabic language: AED 750 if you provide the translated text yourself, or AED 1,050 if we translate and build it.
- Extra products beyond the 10 included in the Shop Package.
- Care Plan: AED 299/month (or AED 897/quarter) for ongoing hosting, updates, backups and minor edits — optional, not bundled by default.

What the Estimator Deliberately Leaves Out
The estimator won't ask for your email before showing a number, won't inflate the estimate to create urgency, and won't show a suspiciously low number designed to get you on a call before the real price appears. What you see is the same honest range we'd give you directly on WhatsApp.
It also can't account for genuinely unusual requirements — a booking system, a membership area, a custom integration — since those are scoped individually rather than fitting a standard tier. If your project has something like that, the fastest path to an accurate number is just asking directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
No — it's a starting estimate based on the factors described on this page. Every project gets a real, exact quote in writing before any work begins, once we know the specifics of what you need.
Which tier fits your project — a 5-page Starter site, a full WordPress business website, or a WooCommerce/Shopify online store. This decides the base price before anything else is added.
Usually because of add-ons — extra pages beyond the base tier, Arabic language content, more products on a store, or ongoing care plan needs — not because pricing is inconsistent.
