United Arab Emirates
Web and app development for UAE businesses, just 90 minutes away.
The UAE is the closest of the countries we work with. With only ninety minutes between us, working together feels much like working with a local team.
Our presence here
We do not have a UAE office. We are based in New Delhi and work with clients in the Emirates remotely.
Working hours overlap
The whole working day
India is 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE
Only ninety minutes separate us, so in practice we work the same hours. Getting things done the same day is normal, not something to plan around.
How we work together
How working remotely with us works in practice.
The same working hours
With ninety minutes between us, meetings, reviews and quick questions happen whenever needed, and nobody works odd hours.
The same working week
The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday, like ours, so no day is lost at either end of the week.
Occasional visits for big projects
For larger projects, in-person workshops can be arranged. We treat that as an agreed exception, and never suggest we have a local office.
The practical details
What is specific to United Arab Emirates.
Arabic and English
Where you need both, Arabic's right-to-left reading changes the whole design, not just the text. We plan for it from the first screen.
Local payment methods
For products sold to the public, we set up the payment methods people in the region actually use. That includes local cards, and cash on delivery where it suits.
Hosting in the region
Where speed or data rules matter, we host in the Middle East instead of somewhere far away.
Contracts and invoices
Written agreements with ownership of the work, invoiced in dirhams or US dollars as agreed.

FAQ
Working with us from United Arab Emirates
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. We work with clients in the Emirates from New Delhi. The time difference is small enough that it rarely makes any practical difference.
Can you build websites in Arabic?
Yes. We design and build for right-to-left reading properly, which changes the fonts, spacing, icons and menus, not just the direction of the text. The translation itself comes from your team or a specialist.
