Web Design & Development

We design and build websites that load quickly, read clearly on mobile and can be updated by your own team without a developer on standby.

The problem this solves

Web design and development is the design, build and launch of a website as a working commercial asset rather than a brochure. It matters because the site is usually the destination for every other marketing investment. Load speed, clarity, mobile behaviour and search visibility decide whether that spend converts or leaks.

Most problem websites were not built badly. They were built once, handed over without training, and then left behind as the business changed. Updating them requires a developer, so they stop reflecting what the company actually sells.

Performance degrades in parallel. Plugins accumulate, images go up unoptimised, page weight climbs, and mobile visitors wait several seconds for a page that a competitor serves instantly.

  • Simple text changes require a developer and a quotation.
  • Pages load slowly, especially on mobile connections.
  • Nobody has the hosting, domain or admin credentials in one place.
  • The site describes services the business has moved on from.

How Old Port approaches it

  1. Structure before design

    We agree sitemap, page purpose and the main conversion route first, so design decisions serve a defined journey rather than a visual preference.

  2. Build for speed and search

    Performance budgets, image optimisation, clean markup and technical SEO are built in during development, not retrofitted after launch.

  3. Hand over properly

    Launch includes credentials, documentation and training, so your team can edit content and add pages without coming back to us.

What you receive

  • Sitemap and wireframes

    Page structure, content hierarchy and conversion routes agreed before visual design.

  • Responsive design

    Full page designs for desktop, tablet and mobile, built on your brand system.

  • Development build

    A complete build on WordPress or a comparable platform you can maintain yourself.

  • Technical SEO setup

    Metadata, schema, sitemaps, redirects and Core Web Vitals addressed before launch.

  • Analytics and tracking

    Analytics, conversion events and search console configured and verified at launch.

  • Training and documentation

    A handover session plus written guides for editing content and publishing pages.

The process

  1. Discover

    Audit the business, the market and current performance, and agree what success means in numbers.

  2. Strategise

    Decide the approach, the priorities and the budget, and write it down so everyone is working to the same plan.

  3. Create

    Build the work against that plan, with reviews at the points where your input actually changes the outcome.

  4. Launch

    Go live with tracking already in place, so the first week produces data rather than opinions.

  5. Optimise

    Review what the numbers say, change what is not working, and keep what is.

  6. Grow

    Scale what pays back and set the next set of targets together.

What changes

  • Pages that load fast

    Performance work during the build reduces bounce from slow mobile loading.

  • Editable by your team

    Content updates happen in minutes internally rather than waiting on a developer.

  • Found in search

    Technical foundations are in place from day one rather than added as remedial work.

  • You own everything

    Hosting, domain, code, designs and credentials are all in your name and control.

Sectors we serve

The method is the same everywhere: understand how customers in that market decide, then build around it. These are the sectors we are set up to serve from Dubai.

Questions

Indicative website projects run from AED 18,000 to AED 70,000, set by page count, languages, integrations and whether content and photography are included. A focused marketing site sits at the lower end. Old Port Solutions is not VAT registered, so quoted project figures carry no VAT.

Typically eight to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch. Structure and design take the first four to five weeks, development the next four, and testing, content loading and launch the remainder. Projects slip most often on content and approvals, so we schedule those explicitly in the plan.

You do. Domain, hosting account, code, design files, content and all credentials are registered in your name and handed over in full. We can manage hosting and maintenance if you prefer, but it is an optional service rather than a condition of owning your site.

Yes. Bilingual builds are planned from the start, covering right to left layout where relevant, typography for each script, language switching, hreflang configuration and separate metadata per language. Retrofitting a second language onto a site designed for one usually costs more than planning it in.
