Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a WordPress website take to build?
A custom WordPress site typically takes 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex WooCommerce stores or sites with heavy custom functionality may take 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during discovery.
Do you use Elementor or page builders?
For custom projects, we prefer to build bespoke themes using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) and custom post types — avoiding page builder dependencies that cause performance issues and vendor lock-in. We work with Elementor for clients who require it.
What does a WordPress website cost in Dubai?
Cost depends on scope — a brochure site and a full WooCommerce store sit at very different investment levels, quoted in AED, SAR or USD depending on your market. Complex multi-functionality sites are always quoted individually. All quotes include design, development, and launch support.
