Short answer

What does a web design company in Dubai have to get right that elsewhere it would not?

DigeeSell, a web design company in Dubai, builds for three local conditions: Arabic and English versions with proper right-to-left structure and hreflang, hosting that keeps response times low for visitors across the Gulf, and content that respects DHA, DoH and RERA rules on what healthcare and property sites may advertise.

Updated

How should an Arabic and English site be structured?

  • Separate URLs per language — for example /en/ and /ar/ — each server-rendered with its own title, description and canonical. A script that swaps text on one URL leaves search engines one indexable version.
  • The Arabic version sets lang="ar" and dir="rtl" on the page, and the layout mirrors: navigation, icons with direction, form fields and tables read right to left. CSS logical properties make one stylesheet work in both directions.
  • A reciprocal hreflang set (en-AE, ar-AE and an x-default) tells Google which version to show to which searcher, so the two do not compete as duplicates.
  • Arabic copy is written for Arabic queries, not machine-translated from English; search terms differ, not just the script. Arabic web fonts are subset and preloaded so they do not delay rendering.

Where should a Dubai site be hosted for Gulf visitors?

Distance adds latency to every request. A site served only from Europe or the US makes each visitor in Dubai, Riyadh or Doha wait for round trips before anything renders, which shows up directly in Time to First Byte and Largest Contentful Paint field data.

We serve pages and assets through a network with points of presence in the Gulf, cache server-rendered HTML where the content allows, and measure Time to First Byte from the region rather than from the developer's location. Where a regulated client needs data held in the UAE, hosting is chosen to meet that first.

Which UAE rules shape what a site may claim?

  • Healthcare — the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in Dubai and the Department of Health (DoH) in Abu Dhabi regulate healthcare advertising, including website content. Promotional material generally needs approval, and claims about outcomes, before-and-after results and practitioner titles are restricted. Clinic sites are built so regulated content can be reviewed and approved before it is published.
  • Property — RERA, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency under the Dubai Land Department, requires property advertisements to carry a valid advertising permit and the broker's registration details. Listing templates are built with fields for those numbers so no listing page can be published without them.
  • Lead data — enquiry forms collect personal data, so the notice, consent and retention set-up follows the UAE's personal data protection law.

This describes how we plan sites; it is not legal advice, and the client's compliance function makes the final call.

Which Dubai results relate to this work?

Landing pages that load fast and record conversions correctly are what a paid campaign depends on. The client is anonymised by sector.

Figures come from platform exports; estimated figures are labelled as estimates; channels are never summed, because platforms double-count the same sale. How we measure

What do buyers ask before starting?

Do we need a separate Arabic website?

Not a separate site, but separate URLs. Each language version needs its own server-rendered pages, correct lang and dir attributes, and a reciprocal hreflang set, so Google can index both and show the right one. A toggle that swaps text on a single URL leaves only one version indexable.

Does Arabic right-to-left layout affect SEO?

The direction itself does not, but how it is built does. Mirroring with CSS logical properties keeps one codebase and one set of templates; bolting on a separate RTL stylesheet often breaks layout stability, which shows in Cumulative Layout Shift. Search engines also need the lang attribute to understand the page language.

Does hosting location matter for a Dubai website?

Yes, for speed. Serving from far away adds round-trip delay to every request, which raises Time to First Byte and Largest Contentful Paint for Gulf visitors. Using a network with Gulf points of presence and caching HTML reduces it. We measure from the region, not from where the site was built.

Can a Dubai clinic publish before-and-after photos on its website?

Healthcare advertising in Dubai is regulated by the DHA and in Abu Dhabi by the DoH, and outcome claims and before-and-after material are restricted. We build clinic sites so regulated content is held for approval before publishing, and the clinic's compliance team confirms what may go live.

What must a Dubai property listing page show?

RERA requires property advertisements to carry a valid advertising permit and the broker's registration details. We build listing templates with required fields for those numbers so a page cannot be published without them.
