WooCommerce is the right choice when your store and your content need to live in one place, when you want to own every part of the stack, or when monthly platform fees do not suit your margins. It is also the platform most often done badly: a heavy theme, a page builder, forty plugins and a slow checkout that nobody in Dubai trusts with a card.
We build WooCommerce the way we build WordPress: a custom block theme, native blocks, a short list of plugins that each earn their place, and a checkout tuned for the UAE. Payments in AED, VAT handled correctly, Tabby or Tamara at checkout and couriers connected.
Our founder has worked hands on in WooCommerce since 2016, and it is the platform behind a remote control car store in Dubai and our fashion, furniture, florist and food stores in India. We know where it breaks and how to keep it fast.
What is included
- A custom block theme designed for your products, with shop, category, product, cart and checkout templates
- Store setup for the UAE: AED pricing, VAT, invoices, Stripe or Telr, Tabby and Tamara, and cash on delivery where it fits
- Catalogue structure: categories, attributes, variations and filters that match how people shop your range
- Shipping zones and rates for Dubai, the Emirates and the GCC, with courier integration for labels and tracking
- Arabic and English support with right to left layouts tested on real devices
- Abandoned cart, order and review emails that look like your brand, not like WooCommerce
- Performance to our published budget: Lighthouse mobile 95 or higher, images in AVIF and WebP, no page builder
- Security hardening and a checkout that never stores card data, with a security audit before launch
- Migration of products, customers and orders from Shopify, Magento, OpenCart or a spreadsheet
- Training for your team and a month of support after launch
How it works
1. Discover
One call about your catalogue, your margins and how orders move through your business. If you have a store already we audit it first.
2. Plan
Product structure, integrations, content plan and a fixed scope with price and timeline. You see what you supply and what we write before anything starts.
3. Design
The product page and the checkout first, reviewed on a real phone, because that is where stores win or lose. Then the shop, categories and content pages.
4. Build
Theme and any store specific plugin written to WordPress coding standards, payments tested in sandbox mode, and test orders placed on a real phone.
5. Launch and grow
Redirects, sitemap, Merchant Center and search console on launch day. Then a month of support, and the search and marketing work that keeps orders coming if you want it.
How long does a WooCommerce store take to build in Dubai?
Most stores launch six to ten weeks after sign off. A small catalogue with existing photography is quicker. Large catalogues, custom pricing rules or an ERP connection take longer, and the plan says so.
WooCommerce or Shopify?
WooCommerce when you want full control, your blog and your shop in one site, or no monthly platform fee. Shopify when you want a hosted platform that handles payments and security for you. We build both and tell you which suits you.
Will the store be fast?
Yes. We build to a published budget of Lighthouse mobile 95 or higher and Largest Contentful Paint under 1.8 seconds, and we test on a mid range Android phone on 4G before launch.
Which payment methods can you set up?
Cards through Stripe, Telr or PayTabs, buy now pay later through Tabby or Tamara, Apple Pay and Google Pay where the gateway supports them, and cash on delivery where your courier does.
Who hosts a WooCommerce store?
Your choice, with our advice. WooCommerce needs better hosting than a brochure site, so we recommend a host sized for your traffic and set it up with caching, a CDN and backups. If you already have hosting we review it first.
Who does the work?
Strategy, planning and your day to day contact are in Dubai. Design and development are shared with our team of more than forty specialists in Chennai, Coimbatore, Singapore and Malaysia. You get one project manager and a team that has shipped WooCommerce stores in food, furniture and retail.
What happens after launch?
A month of support is included: fixes, small changes and help with your first orders. After that most clients keep us on for care, new products and campaigns.
