Freelance Web Developer in Dubai

I'm Emad Yahya — a web developer and IT systems engineer based in Dubai. I design and build premium websites and business platforms for UAE companies: design, code, SEO and deployment, all handled end to end by one person.

By day I run enterprise IT for a Dubai real estate firm; since 2025 I've been building websites and platforms for clients as a freelancer. In 2026 alone, three client sites went live — a private-residences studio, a luxury property developer and a creative agency.

What I build

• Brand & corporate websites — custom-designed, no templates, built to feel premium on every screen.
• Booking systems — appointments, scheduling and payments for salons, clinics and service businesses.
• Business platforms — CRMs, HR systems, asset management and internal tools that replace spreadsheets.
• AI tools & integrations — chatbots, AI visibility platforms and automations connected to real business data.
• Campaign landing pages — fast, conversion-focused pages with lead capture straight to WhatsApp or your CRM.

How it works

• Scope — a short call or WhatsApp chat about what you need. You get a fixed written quote within 24 hours.
• Design — I design directly in code: real layouts, real motion, reviewed with you before anything is final.
• Build — clean React/TypeScript builds with performance and SEO baked in from the first commit.
• Launch — deployment, analytics, Search Console and Bing setup, and a full handover. You own everything.

Why a freelancer, not an agency

You talk directly to the person building your site — no account managers, no relay chain, no waiting three days for a reply that says "the team is looking into it."

Typical builds take 2–6 weeks, and freelance pricing in Dubai is usually a fraction of agency quotes for the same scope, because you are not paying for an office on Sheikh Zayed Road.

And because I run enterprise IT for a living, your site comes with engineering discipline most brochure-site builders skip: performance budgets, analytics, backups and security hygiene.

FAQ

How much does a website cost in Dubai?

It depends on scope: a single-page landing costs the least, corporate multi-page sites sit in the middle, and custom platforms are priced per feature set. As a freelancer my quotes are typically well below Dubai agency pricing for identical scope. Send me what you need and you will have a fixed written quote within 24 hours — no obligation.

How long does a website take to build?

A campaign landing page: 1–2 weeks. A corporate or brand website: 2–4 weeks. A custom platform (booking, CRM, dashboards): 4–8 weeks depending on features. These are real delivery times from my 2026 client projects.

Do you handle design as well as development?

Yes — every project is designed and built by me, directly in code. No purchased templates, no theme look. Typography, motion and layout are custom to your brand.

Is SEO included?

Every build ships with technical SEO as standard: fast load times, structured data, sitemaps, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster setup, and AI-search readiness (so ChatGPT and Gemini can actually read your site). Ongoing content SEO is available separately.

Do you build Arabic websites?

Yes — I am a native Arabic speaker and build bilingual English/Arabic sites with proper RTL layouts, not mirrored afterthoughts.

Where are you based? Can we meet?

I live and work in Dubai. In-person meetings in Dubai are easy to arrange, and I work remotely with clients across the UAE.

What happens after launch?

You own everything — domain, code, hosting and accounts are all registered to you. I offer optional maintenance, and I stay reachable either way.
