Web development for businesses in Qatar

Matching the build to the business

Our web practice begins by asking what the site must do for you in the next year. Contractors want a credible company profile and a tender-ready capabilities page. Clinics want booking. Retailers want a store. Property firms want listings with enquiry forms. The best technology for each differs.

If you are unsure which row fits, send us your current site or your idea and we will say which category it falls into on the first call. We would rather tell you a simple site will do than sell you a platform.

Tenders and procurement teams often read the company site before calling, so clarity about licences, experience and contacts counts for more than animation.

What a Qatar site needs to get right

• Two languages with their own URLs, a visible switcher and matching content in each.
• Right-to-left layout that is tested, not just mirrored.
• Phone numbers with the +974 prefix, tap-to-call and a WhatsApp button.
• Commercial registration and licence details in the footer where your sector expects them.
• Fast loading on mobile networks, with lightweight images and few scripts.
• A privacy notice and consent wording for forms, written with your lawyer under Qatar's Law No. 13 of 2016.

Free zones and some regulated sectors have extra rules, so tell us at the start if you operate in one.

Forms deserve a close look. Qatari and expatriate names, mobile numbers in different formats and long addresses with zone and building numbers must be accepted without errors. We test forms with real data, including text pasted from WhatsApp, and make sure every enquiry reaches a monitored inbox.

Integrations people ask for

Qatar sites often connect to a payment gateway your bank supports, an online map with zone and building details, WhatsApp, a booking or CRM tool, and email marketing. Each integration is another thing to maintain, so we add only the ones that earn their place and document each in the handover. Where a government portal offers no open interface, we do not promise to connect to it.

For product businesses, our ecommerce solutions cover stores beyond Shopify, such as WooCommerce.

Where the site sits matters to some buyers. A cloud region near the Gulf suits most companies, while a few sectors ask for hosting inside the country. You get the options with monthly costs side by side.

Our process

1. Brief and quoteA short call, a one-page brief and a fixed price.
2. DesignPage layouts in both languages, reviewed on a call.
3. Build on stagingA private site you can open every week.
4. TestForms, payments, phones and speed, then fixes.
5. Launch and trainDNS, redirects, analytics and a short training session.

Doha is about 2.5 hours behind Pune, so reviews sit comfortably in your Sunday to Thursday week. One project lead stays with you from quote to launch, and feedback is collected in one document. We have no Qatar office.

We keep a running change list. Anything outside the agreed scope is flagged first and priced separately, so nothing is billed that you have not approved.

Care after launch

A site needs looking after. Our website maintenance plans start from $120 a month and cover updates, backups, security and uptime checks. The SEO work for Qatar builds on the bilingual structure we put in.

Maintenance also covers the quiet failures: expired certificates, plugins that stop working after an update and forms that stop sending. A monthly check catches them before a customer does.

Price

Projects start at $1,500, and extra hours are $30. A small site is near the start. Stores, custom features and many pages cost more. Try the website cost calculator for a first number, then ask for a fixed quote. The Qatar hub lists every service.

Larger builds are split into phases, each priced on its own, so you can pause after any phase with something usable in hand.

If you have a deadline such as a trade show or a tender, tell us at the first call and we will plan backward from the date.
