Build your
with engineering that pays for itself.

Yes, and from day one rather than at handover. The repository, hosting account and domain are registered in your name before development starts, so there is never a point where we are holding your site as leverage. When the project ends you keep everything, including design files.

Our own team, working from Dubai and Islamabad under GoDesign FZE. You are introduced to the people building your project and you talk to them directly. We do not resell the work to a third party or hand you to a different contractor mid-build.

A custom build. On WordPress that means a theme written for your content model rather than a marketplace theme with a page builder on top. On Shopify it means the theme is built rather than purchased and reskinned. The practical difference shows up in load times and in how easy the site is to change later.

Quotes in this market range from a few thousand dirhams to six figures for what sounds like the same brief, which is why the number only means something once the scope is written down. Cost is driven by how many unique page templates you need, whether content is migrated or written fresh, how many systems the site has to talk to, and whether it sells. We scope those first and give you one fixed figure.

A focused marketing site is usually four to eight weeks; an ecommerce build with payment gateways and delivery rules is longer. Whatever the number is, it is agreed in writing with milestone dates before we start, and you are told the moment anything threatens a date rather than at the deadline.

It depends on your bank and your average order value. Telr, PayTabs, Network International and Stripe all work in the UAE and differ mainly on settlement time, per-transaction rate and how painful the onboarding is. If you are on Shopify, note that using a third-party gateway adds a Shopify transaction fee on top of the gateway's own rate. We set the account up with you rather than reselling one to you.

Yes, and we install them directly rather than through a gateway that marks the rate up. Both are widely used in the UAE and tend to lift average order value on higher-priced baskets. They are configured so the instalment messaging appears on product pages, not only at checkout, which is where most of the conversion effect comes from.

Anything that breaks because of how we built it is fixed free for 90 days after launch. Beyond that you can take a maintenance plan or not, entirely as you prefer. Because you own the hosting and the code, you are also free to have anyone else maintain it.

Ask for the trade licence and check the company name matches the entity that will invoice you. Then check whether the address on the site is a real office, whether the reviews sit on platforms the company does not control, and whether the contract names who owns the code. GoDesign FZE is licensed in the UAE and based in Dubai Media City.

That is the point of how we build. Content that should change often is exposed as editable fields, and you get a walkthrough of how to change it at handover. You should never need to pay us to swap a phone number or publish a blog post.
