Our Website Design Company Portfolio
Our portfolio includes new business websites and full redesigns of sites that had outgrown their structure, design or platform. Each project below shows what we built, who it was for and what the website needed to achieve, not only how it looks.
Why Businesses Choose Legend1st for Web Design
Custom Design Around Your Business
Our designers and developers plan the structure and user experience around your customers, brand and goals. AI tools may support parts of the workflow, but the project team makes the design decisions.
SEO-Ready Structure and Tracking
Where SEO is part of the project, we plan crawlable service pages, headings, clean URLs, internal links, metadata, mobile usability and analytics before development is finalized. Ongoing SEO is a separate service unless included in your scope.
Clear Paths to Calls, WhatsApp and Bookings
We identify the primary action on each key page, then arrange navigation, proof and calls to action to help visitors contact, book or buy with less friction.
Responsive Performance on Every Device
We check navigation, tap-to-call and WhatsApp buttons, forms, readable content and page speed on mobile and desktop before launch.
Custom Web Design Led by Experienced Designers Who Study Your Business First
Every Legend1st website is planned and designed by professional designers and developers. AI tools may support parts of our workflow, but the structure, user experience and implementation decisions are made by the project team, around your customers and your goals. A one-click website generator cannot interview your sales team or know which service brings in your best clients.
Content-First Website Structure Built Around Customer Questions
We don’t design empty layouts and then force finished copy into them. Our website content writing team can organize your services and your customers’ common questions first, so designers build the page hierarchy around what visitors actually need to read.
Brand-Consistent UI Design Across Every Page and Device
The interface can extend your existing visual identity or form part of a wider brand refresh. Our graphic design team supports the visual assets a website needs, and businesses updating their identity can connect the project with our corporate identity services so logo, typography and colors stay consistent online and offline.

Google Ads Landing Page Design Built With Our PPC Specialists
Paid traffic is expensive to waste. When your website will receive Google Ads traffic, our search engine marketing team can work with our designers on landing-page structure, so the page a prospect lands on repeats the promise of the ad they clicked and leads straight to one clear action. Conversion tracking is planned with the build, not added after the budget starts running.
Visitors arriving from social campaigns usually land on mobile and decide within seconds. Our social media marketing team can coordinate those campaign destinations with the web team. Where the website is part of a wider paid strategy, our advertising team in Dubai helps align messaging, destination pages and conversion actions across channels.
Our Dubai Based Company Website Design Services Matched to Your Business Stage and Goals
Legend1st works with startups, SMEs and established organizations. We recommend scope and technology according to your business objectives, the functionality you need and your available budget.

Responsive Web Design Tested on Mobile and Desktop
A responsive website should do more than shrink to fit a phone. Legend1st designs navigation, forms, calls to action and content separately for mobile and desktop users, then tests every website on both after design and development. A mobile visitor should never have to zoom, hunt for a phone number or struggle to submit an enquiry.
What we check on each device:
- menus and navigation that are easy to use with one thumb
- tap-to-call and WhatsApp buttons that are visible without scrolling far
- forms that are short and easy to complete on a small screen
- text, images and tables that stay readable at every width
- page speed on mobile connections.
See why website speed matters for your visitors and your search visibility.
Web Design Planned Around Calls, WhatsApp Enquiries and Bookings
A website that looks good but leaves visitors unsure what to do next is a cost, not an asset. Before design begins, we identify the primary action each key page should lead to. Navigation, content order, proof elements and calls to action are then arranged to move a visitor from first impression to that action with as little friction as possible.
Depending on how your business sells, that action might be:
- a phone call from a mobile visitor
- a WhatsApp message to your sales or booking team
- an enquiry or quotation form
- an appointment or reservation
- a purchase or order.
Trust elements such as reviews, project examples, credentials and clear contact details sit close to these actions, because hesitation usually happens right before someone gets in touch.
Full Website Ownership and Dubai-Based Support
Your business should not need an agency’s permission to access its own website. Legend1st defines every account, credential and project asset included in your handover before development begins, so there is no confusion at launch and no dependence on one person holding undocumented passwords.
Potential handover items are defined in your project scope:
- Domain account access
- Hosting account access
- CMS administrator access
- Website files and database
- Google Analytics, Search Console and Tag Manager access
- Agreed design and source files
- Handover documentation and CMS training
Exact ownership, licensing and handover items are written into your project scope before work starts.
Licensed Themes and Plugins Only
Legend1st does not build client websites on cracked, nulled or unauthorized themes, plugins or software. Pirated components often hide malware, cannot receive security updates and can break without warning. Where a project needs commercial software, its licence, renewal cost and renewal responsibility are listed in your proposal, so nothing unexpected appears after launch.
Built for How UAE Customers Buy
Dubai buyers browse mostly on their phones and often prefer a quick call or WhatsApp message over a long form. That changes design decisions: contact actions stay visible on mobile, forms ask only for what your team needs, and location and service-area details appear where customers look for them.
Website design in the UAE also means serving a mixed audience. Our team works from Office 2003, Silver Tower, Business Bay, and you can meet us in person or discuss your project remotely.
- frequently asked questions
Web Design FAQs: Cost, Timelines, Ownership and SEO in Dubai
How much does website design cost in Dubai?
Cost depends on scope, not a single standard price. Page count, custom design, functionality, languages, content, integrations, migration and third-party software all affect the quote. We define these requirements first, then give you a fixed scope, price and payment milestones.
How long does it take to design a website?
A timeline is fixed in your proposal and we keep to it. The schedule depends on the pages, languages and integrations in your scope. Delays only occur if the scope changes or approvals and content arrive late.
Will I own my website after launch?
Yes. Your scope lists every asset and account handed over, which can include CMS admin access, website files, database, analytics and agreed design files.
Will I own my domain and hosting?
Yes. We register or configure them in your business’s name, so control stays with you even if you change agencies later.
Do you use templates or AI website generators?
No. Our designers and developers plan and design each website around your business. AI tools may assist parts of our workflow, but they do not make the design decisions.
Do you use licensed themes and plugins?
Yes. We never use cracked or nulled software. Any paid licences and their renewal costs are listed in your proposal.
Do you build websites on WordPress?
Often, when it fits your content and management needs. We recommend the platform after defining your requirements, and other CMS or custom options are available.
Is SEO included with the website?
SEO foundations are built in: structure, headings, URLs, metadata, speed and tracking. Ongoing SEO campaigns are a separate service unless included in your scope.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing SEO?
We crawl your current site, map old URLs to new ones and set 301 redirects before launch. This protects existing rankings as far as possible, though short-term fluctuation can happen with any redesign.
Can you design landing pages for Google Ads?
Yes. Our paid-media specialists and designers build landing pages around the campaign’s message, conversion action and tracking.
What happens after my website launches?
You receive handover, CMS training and an agreed support period. Ongoing maintenance plans are available afterwards.
How do I choose the best web design company in Dubai?
Look for evidence rather than labels: a portfolio of live websites, current client reviews, clear ownership terms, a fixed scope and timeline, SEO and mobile expertise, licensed software and defined post-launch support. Ask every agency you consider to show each of these in writing.
Can you set up analytics and conversion tracking?
Yes. Search Console, analytics and enquiry tracking are planned with the build and verified at launch according to your agreed scope.

SEO Web Design With Search Architecture Planned Before Development
Website architecture affects how both people and search engines find your most important pages. Where SEO is part of the project, our SEO specialists in Dubai review the structure before development is finalized, so it does not need to be rebuilt later.
An SEO-ready Legend1st website covers:
- a page structure that gives each core service its own clear, crawlable page
- a logical heading hierarchy and clean URLs
- internal links that connect related services and content
- metadata, image optimization and schema markup where relevant
- page speed and mobile usability foundations
- Search Console and analytics set up at launch.
An SEO-ready website gives your search visibility a strong foundation, but it is not the same as an ongoing SEO campaign. Content development, link building and continuous optimization are separate activities unless they are included in your project scope. No agency can honestly guarantee rankings.
Website Redesign in Dubai That Protects Your Existing Google Rankings
A redesign can put existing search traffic at risk if URLs change carelessly. Before we rebuild, we crawl the current site, identify the pages that already bring in traffic, map old URLs to new ones, set 301 redirects where URLs must change and monitor Search Console after launch. Learn how website redesign can affect SEO.
Our 10-Stage Website Design Process
Every project follows the same ten stages, with your approval at each key milestone and one project owner coordinating design, development and your feedback.
- Discovery. Your business goals, customers, competitors and the actions the website must drive.
- Architecture. Sitemap, page hierarchy and content plan, reviewed by SEO where relevant.
- Wireframes. Page layouts and conversion paths, before any visual styling.
- UI design. Visual design in your brand, for desktop and mobile.
- Development. Build on the agreed CMS, with forms, integrations and tracking.
- SEO and marketing review. Structure, metadata, tracking and campaign readiness checked.
- Testing. Mobile and desktop, functionality, speed and content (see below).
- Launch. Domain, hosting and deployment.
- Handover. Access, credentials, documentation and CMS training.
- Support. Post-launch monitoring and ongoing maintenance options.
Website Testing and Launch: 10 Quality Checks
No Legend1st website goes live until it has been tested on both mobile and desktop. We test functionality, speed, content and search readiness on a staging site, fix every issue we find, and only then launch. After launch, we keep watching the site so early problems are caught before your customers notice them.
- Comprehensive Testing. Every page, link, form, button and integration is checked against the approved design and scope.
- Bug Identification and Fixing. Issues are logged, fixed and re-tested before sign-off.
- Performance Benchmarking. Page speed and Core Web Vitals are measured on mobile and desktop, then improved where needed.
- Content Review. Text, images, contact details and calls to action are checked for accuracy and consistency.
- SEO Readiness Check. Metadata, headings, redirects, sitemap, indexing settings and analytics are verified.
- Responsive Design Validation. Layout, navigation and forms are tested across mobile and desktop screen sizes.
- Staging Environment Testing. The full site is reviewed on a private staging copy before anything changes on your live domain.
- Domain and Hosting Setup. DNS, SSL and hosting configuration are completed and verified.
- Go-Live Support. Our team manages the launch and checks the live site immediately afterwards.
- Post-Launch Monitoring. We monitor uptime, forms and tracking in the period after launch and fix anything that surfaces.
Website Design Timelines, Scope and Payments Agreed Before Work Starts
We work to strict timelines. Your proposal sets a delivery schedule with dated milestones, and our team is accountable for meeting it. The schedule only moves if the scope changes or if approvals and content from your side are delayed, and we tell you immediately if that happens.
What Every Legend1st Website Proposal Includes
Every proposal lists the pages, features, integrations, revision rounds, payment milestones, third-party costs and handover items before development begins. Payments are tied to milestones such as project start, design approval and launch, so you always know what you are paying for at each stage.
Costs Outside the Website Build, Listed Upfront
Unless included in your proposal, ongoing SEO, advertising spend, premium plugin or software subscriptions, stock photography, hosting and domain renewals, and ongoing content updates are separate from the website build.
Domain, Hosting and Website Maintenance Support After Launch
If you don't have a domain or hosting yet, Legend1st can help you register the domain, configure DNS and choose hosting that suits your site's performance and security needs. Accounts are set up in your business's name, so control stays with you. If you already have hosting, we work with it or advise on whether it is suitable.
Launch is not the end of the relationship. Every project includes an agreed post-launch support period for fixes and questions. After that, maintenance plans can cover:
- core, theme and plugin updates
- backups and security monitoring
- content and page updates
- new features and further development
- SEO, conversion improvements and campaigns.
