WordPress Website Development Services in Dubai

For consumer-facing material, Arabic matters. Under Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 and its executive regulations in Cabinet Decision No. 66 of 2023, effective October 2023, information, advertisements and contracts entered into with a consumer must be in Arabic, or in another language in addition to Arabic. That reaches product information, terms and invoices. Most Dubai businesses therefore run a fully bilingual site rather than drawing a line around which pages count. Confirm the specifics for your sector with your own legal advisor.

Most UAE businesses fall under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data, effective 2 January 2022. It prohibits processing personal data without the owner's consent except in defined cases, gives individuals the right to have inaccurate data corrected and to restrict or stop processing, sets cross-border transfer requirements, and applies to processing carried out inside or outside the country. A DIFC entity is instead under DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020, and ADGM entities sit under the ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021. Which regime applies changes your consent wording, your privacy notice and your data protection officer arrangements, so we establish it at the audit stage and you confirm it with your legal advisor.

Ownership and hiring depth. WordPress runs 41.2 percent of all websites per W3Techs in August 2026, so your team can be trained on it and your next agency can pick it up instead of inheriting something only we understand. It also takes right-to-left at the theme level, which a hosted platform may not let you touch. It is not always right: if you need heavy transactional logic or have unusual hosting constraints, we say so at the audit stage rather than after you have paid for a build.

It is not a plugin. Setting base direction in the markup with dir=rtl is the W3C-recommended approach, and W3C guidance specifically warns against applying base direction through CSS. We build the theme on CSS logical properties so a single stylesheet serves both directions instead of a mirrored rtl.css that goes stale. Mixed Latin and Arabic strings, which is every price and product code, get dir=auto or bdi isolation so the bidirectional algorithm does not reorder them. Our own site already publishes Arabic content.

Sometimes. The UAE has 46 free zones according to the UAE Embassy in Washington DC, from Jebel Ali Free Zone, established in 1985, to sector-specific zones. Your licence shapes who you can invoice, which affects how you describe services and what your checkout should process. On tax, the UAE Ministry of Finance set corporate tax at 9 percent with a 0 percent rate on taxable profits up to AED 375,000, for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023.

Mobile and desktop performance on real devices, Core Web Vitals, indexation and crawl issues, hreflang and Arabic readiness, form and conversion path checks, tracking setup, and visible data protection and consumer information gaps. You get the written findings whether or not you hire us. If your current site needs fixes rather than a rebuild, that is what the audit will say.
