WHY DCRAYON
What makes Dcrayon different
Six things that separate a Dcrayon retainer from a generic web development agency.
Dubai Market Understanding
We've built sites for businesses across DIFC, JLT, and Business Bay. Understanding Dubai's unique mix of local and expat audiences shapes how we structure every project.
RTL & Multilingual Ready
Arabic-English websites need more than translation. We build WordPress sites with proper RTL support, language switchers, and content that works in both directions seamlessly.
UAE-Optimised Performance
Slow sites lose Dubai customers fast. We use regional CDNs, optimised images, and efficient code to deliver sub-3-second load times across the Emirates.
Local Payment Integration
We connect WordPress and WooCommerce with UAE payment gateways—Network International, PayTabs, Telr, and Apple Pay. Accept AED and handle VAT compliance automatically.
TDRA Compliance Built In
Dubai websites need to meet Telecommunications Regulatory Authority guidelines. We handle the technical requirements so you don't have to worry about compliance issues.
Dubai Timezone Support
Questions at 10pm GST? We're available. Our support overlaps with Dubai business hours, and urgent issues get same-day responses—not tomorrow morning.
FAQ
Questions & answers
What businesses in Dubai ask us about web development before signing.
Typical timelines run 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A corporate site with Arabic translation takes longer than an English-only portfolio. We'll map out milestones after understanding your requirements—no guessing.
Yes, this is one of our core strengths. We use WPML or Polylang for translation management, ensure proper RTL styling, and test thoroughly in both languages. The language switcher works smoothly—no janky transitions or broken layouts.
We recommend hosting with Middle East data centers for best performance. Options include AWS Bahrain, Cloudways with Dubai nodes, or managed WordPress hosts with regional infrastructure. We'll set it up and manage it for you.
Our WooCommerce setups include UAE VAT calculation, compliant invoices with TRN numbers, and proper tax reporting. We've configured stores for businesses across Dubai, San Francisco, and Sharjah—the setup handles Emirates-specific requirements.
Absolutely. We've migrated sites from Drupal, Joomla, custom PHP, and Arabic platforms. Content, images, and SEO rankings transfer over. The process usually takes 2-4 weeks with zero downtime for your visitors.
