E-Commerce Development · Dubai, UAE

A store that sells the way you actually sell

I build online stores for businesses in Dubai — custom storefronts or well-configured Shopify and WooCommerce builds — with catalogs, checkout and payments that convert, and don't fight you when it's time to update products or run a promotion.

Shopify WooCommerce .NET Node.js PHP

What I offer

Four ways I build your store

A store that's fast, easy to manage, and built around how you actually sell — not a template forcing your business into its shape.

Custom Online Store Development

Custom storefronts and configured Shopify or WooCommerce builds, with product catalogs, search and filtering, and checkout flows designed to convert.

Payment Gateway & Shipping Integration

Payment gateways and shipping providers relevant to the UAE market, along with tax handling and multi-currency support where your store needs it.

Inventory & Order Management Systems

Inventory and order management tools so stock levels, order status and fulfillment stay accurate and in sync across sales channels.

E-Commerce Platform Migration

Migrations between platforms that preserve product data, order history, customer accounts and SEO rankings, minimizing disruption to sales during the switch.

Representative work

The kind of problems I get called in for

Three patterns that come up most often with Dubai businesses — illustrative of the scope, not a fixed menu.

A store that's outgrown its platform

A store that started on a template but now needs custom logic, integrations, or performance the platform can't cleanly support anymore.

Checkout is losing sales

A checkout flow with missing local payment options, no shipping logic, or friction that's quietly costing conversions.

Stock out of sync across channels

Inventory tracked separately across the website, marketplace listings and in-store, leading to overselling and manual reconciliation.

How it works

Five stages, every store

The same structure every time, so you always know what's happening and what's next.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Catalog size, payment needs and platform fit, mapped out before any build decisions.

  2. 02

    Build

    Storefront, catalog and checkout built or configured around your products and workflow.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    Payments, shipping and inventory connected and tested end to end before launch.

  4. 04

    Launch

    A controlled go-live, with data and rankings preserved if this is a migration.

  5. 05

    Grow

    Fixes, optimizations and new features as the store and catalog grow.

Why me

One person, direct accountability

You work directly with the person building your store, not a rotating account team. That means fewer handoffs, clearer decisions, and a store that stays close to how you actually sell.

FAQ

Common questions

Should I get a custom store or use Shopify or WooCommerce?

It depends on how much your business needs to diverge from standard store behavior. A well-configured Shopify or WooCommerce build is usually faster and cheaper for straightforward catalogs; a custom build makes sense when you need workflows, pricing logic, or integrations a template can't handle.

Which payment gateways can you integrate for a UAE store?

Payment gateways relevant to the UAE market, along with the tax handling and multi-currency support many Dubai-based stores need for local and international customers.

How long does it take to launch an online store?

A platform-based store with a standard catalog can launch in a few weeks. A custom storefront with bespoke checkout logic or system integrations typically runs six to twelve weeks depending on scope.

Can you migrate my store without losing SEO rankings or order history?

Yes. Migrations are planned around preserving product data, order history, customer accounts and existing URL structure or redirects, so search rankings and past sales records carry over rather than resetting.

Do you handle inventory across multiple sales channels?

Yes. Inventory and order management can be built or integrated to keep stock levels and order status in sync across your online store and other sales channels, rather than tracked separately.

Ready to launch or upgrade your store?

Tell me what you're selling and where the friction is — a new build, a migration, or checkout that's losing sales — and I'll get back to you with a clear next step.
