Who I Am & How I Work

I am a Dubai-based web developer and performance marketer with 7+ years of experience. I have built stores for perfume, vape, fashion and furniture brands in the UAE and run the Google Shopping, Meta and SEO campaigns that grow them, so I know what a store needs both to launch and to sell.

You work directly with me from design to growth. The store, ad accounts and data are set up in your name, and every campaign is reported in orders, revenue and return on ad spend.

My E-commerce Process

Store & Market Review

Your products, margins, competitors and the UAE buyer journey, so the store is built around how people actually buy.

Build or Fix

New store development, or a conversion overhaul of your existing one: design, product pages, checkout, payments, delivery, tracking.

Launch Traffic

Google Shopping, Meta catalogue ads and e-commerce SEO switched on with full conversion tracking and a return-on-ad-spend target.

Optimise & Scale

Weekly optimisation of ads and pages, automation for abandoned carts and repeat orders, and scaling the products and channels that are profitable.

E-commerce in the UAE: What It Takes to Build a Store That Sells

Online shopping in the UAE is competitive and fast: buyers compare on price and delivery time, expect to pay with cards, Apple Pay, cash on delivery or buy-now-pay-later, and abandon slow or confusing checkouts within seconds. An e-commerce expert in Dubai builds for those habits from the start and then treats growth as a system: the right traffic, a store that converts it, and automation that brings customers back.

What a store build includes

Custom design on Shopify or WooCommerce, mobile-first and fast
UAE payment gateways (Telr, PayTabs, Network International, Stripe UAE), Tabby and Tamara, and cash on delivery
Delivery and fulfilment integrations, shipping rules by emirate and order notifications
Product and category SEO, schema markup, image optimisation and site speed
Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Conversions API set up and verified
Bilingual English and Arabic versions where your market needs them
Training for your team and optional monthly maintenance

How I grow stores after launch

Google Shopping and Performance Max for people already searching for your products, managed to return on ad spend
Meta catalogue, dynamic retargeting and TikTok ads for discovery and repeat purchases
E-commerce SEO for category and product pages, the cheapest traffic a store can earn over time
Conversion optimisation of product pages, cart and checkout, usually worth more than any new traffic source
Automation: abandoned-cart WhatsApp and email flows, order and delivery updates, review requests and repeat-purchase reminders

Pricing and timelines

A store with up to 50 products, UAE payments, delivery integration and basic SEO typically costs AED 8,000 to AED 15,000 and launches in 4 to 6 weeks. Larger catalogues, bilingual builds and ERP or POS integrations run AED 15,000 to AED 40,000 over 6 to 10 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about e-commerce development and marketing in Dubai and the UAE.

How much does an e-commerce website cost in Dubai?

A Shopify or WooCommerce store with up to 50 products, UAE payment gateways, delivery integration and basic SEO typically costs AED 8,000 to AED 15,000. Larger catalogues, custom design, multi-language (English and Arabic) and ERP or POS integrations push it to AED 15,000 to AED 40,000. Every quote is fixed in advance.

Shopify or WooCommerce: which is better for a UAE store?

Shopify for most brands that want reliability, fast checkout and easy management, especially with UAE gateways and buy-now-pay-later options. WooCommerce when you need deep WordPress integration, complex product rules or want to avoid monthly platform fees and have someone to maintain it. I recommend based on your catalogue, team and growth plan.

Which payment gateways and delivery options work in the UAE?

I set up UAE-supported gateways such as Telr, PayTabs, Network International, Stripe UAE, Tabby and Tamara, plus cash on delivery where it makes sense, and connect delivery partners and fulfilment apps so orders flow automatically.

How long does it take to launch a store?

A standard store launches in 4 to 6 weeks. Larger or multi-language stores take 6 to 10 weeks. Growth marketing (SEO, Shopping and Meta ads) can start the week the store goes live.

How do you get traffic and sales to the store?

Google Shopping and Performance Max for people searching for your products, Meta catalogue and retargeting ads for discovery and repeat purchases, e-commerce SEO for category and product pages, and email and WhatsApp automation for abandoned carts and repeat orders. Everything is tracked to return on ad spend.

What is e-commerce SEO and why does it matter?

E-commerce SEO makes your category, collection and product pages rank on Google for searches like “buy perfume online Dubai” or “office chairs UAE”. It is the lowest-cost traffic a store can get over time because there is no per-click cost, and it compounds as the catalogue grows.

Can you improve an existing store that is not converting?

Yes. A conversion audit covers speed, product pages, checkout friction, trust signals, mobile experience and tracking. Most stores I review have two or three fixes that materially lift conversion rate before any new traffic is bought.

Do you build bilingual English and Arabic stores?

Yes, with right-to-left Arabic layouts, translated product data, currency and language switching and hreflang tags so each version ranks in the right searches.

What automation do you add to stores?

Abandoned-cart WhatsApp and email flows, order and delivery notifications, review requests, low-stock alerts, repeat-purchase reminders and AI-written product descriptions for new products.
