Web Development Dubai

Looking at websites done for other clients is not always a good indicator of a web developer's skills, since it's hard to tell exactly what they contributed to the site and how much it's changed since they worked on it. If possible, you want to see exactly what they contributed. Ask what role they played in the project. Did they build the entire site or just optimize web pages? Be wary of self-taught folks who haven't worked in an agency or corporate setting. They might not have the training or discipline to complete jobs on deadline. My suggestion is to look at the agencies in Dubai, there are a few good ones, have a few hours surfing around the web looking at who has delivered existing websites in your space, if you like them and they rate well in search engines then give them a call. Or search for Social Media consultants in Dubai, a social media agency generally offers a lot more than a simple web developer can do.

Good Search Engine Optimization - Organic Search Engine Optimization Dubai (SEO). Chances are if the web sites you are viewing are not showing up in search engine results then your Dubai based website developer isn’t up to much. Look at some of the demonstration sites they sent you over, now type in relevant search queries that relate to that companies business. For example if they have developed the website for a shoe shop in Dubai they should show up in the first page of google for searches related to “Shoe Shops in Dubai” -

Capability in PHP web development – Your web developer should use PHP, I know that there is an endless debate between developers between if PHP or Microsoft is the best web development platform. That’s not relevant, unless they have very good PHP skills they can develop.

Really to find all of these skills in one person is pretty tough, I went through a raft of web developers in Dubai before I spoke to our current agency that actually briefed me on exactly why my website project hadn’t been delivered. I would strongly suggest that if you are in Dubai and searching for a web developer or probably more apt now then a search for “web developer dubai” or “Social Media Agency Dubai” will deliver the results, anyone that isn’t on the first page for these searches probably isn’t that good at search engine optimization which is a pretty important component of web development.

If you are a major brand or looking for someone to deliver a major online or digital project you don’t need a web development company, ideally you should be searching for a social media company. A social media consultancy should have all of the experience not just in web development in Dubai but also online marketing, advertising and SEO that you will need. A complete solution is pretty important if you are a major brand – you will only get that from a social media agency and probably not from a web development company in Dubai.
