Work that speaks for itself.

(✦) — The problem

The wrong foundation is expensive. It just hides the cost.

A template or website builder can suit a straightforward site. The limits become clearer when you need a specific content model, custom booking rules or a connection to your CRM. Custom website development lets us build those requirements into the codebase instead of fitting your business around the platform. The decision should follow your functionality, maintenance needs and budget.

01

Platform lock-in

Proprietary CMS platforms charge monthly fees, limit customisation, and make migration painful. You're renting infrastructure, not building an asset.

02

Performance debt

Heavy scripts, oversized images and poorly configured caching can slow any website. We review the implementation and test loading, responsiveness and layout stability rather than assuming a particular platform guarantees performance.

03

Security exposure

Plugin ecosystems are a major attack vector. A single unmaintained plugin can compromise your entire site and expose customer data.

04

Costly rebuilds

When content, business rules and integrations are tightly coupled, a small change can become expensive. Clear boundaries and documented code make the website easier to extend as requirements change.

(✦) — What you get

A codebase built to last — not just to launch.

Next.js & React

The production-grade framework used by world-class technology companies. Server-side rendering, image optimisation, and API routes built in from the start.

TypeScript throughout

TypeScript helps identify type mismatches during development. Runtime validation and tests are still needed for user input, external APIs and business rules.

Headless CMS integration

Your team updates content without touching code. We integrate Sanity, Contentful, or your preferred CMS — clean, fast, and code-independent.

UAE payment gateways

Gateway and payment-method choices are confirmed against your merchant eligibility, platform and provider API before implementation.

API-first architecture

Defined interfaces separate frontend and backend responsibilities. Future integrations are assessed against the existing data model, security boundaries and load.

CI/CD pipeline

Automated checks and release steps are configured for the project, with agreed review and rollback procedures.

Performance engineering

We review images, code splitting, caching and third-party resources, then compare documented tests before and after changes. Lighthouse scores vary by conditions and page.

Complete source handover

The agreed handover includes the project repository, deployment notes and a walkthrough after the contractual payment requirements are met. We identify third-party dependencies and licences so the next developer can understand the setup.

Frontend, content and editing

Agree the pages, content types and publishing roles before choosing a CMS or custom administration interface. Reuse an existing platform when it fits the requirements. Custom development is justified by the needed workflows and constraints, not by assuming every template or plugin is unsuitable.

Data, APIs and enquiry systems

List the systems that exchange data, what triggers an update and who owns access. Include validation, duplicate handling, retries and failure alerts in the integration scope. A provider logo or an available API does not establish compatibility with a particular account or plan.

Acceptance checks before launch

Agree the key tasks, representative devices, supported browsers and test environment. Record checks for forms, editing, accessibility, permissions and integrations. Measure performance under stated conditions and keep the results; a target is not a result or a universal speed guarantee.

Migration, release and recovery

Inventory content and existing URLs, map redirects and rehearse data imports when needed. Define the deployment owner, backup, release checklist and rollback decision. Test important journeys again after release rather than treating a successful deployment as acceptance.

Maintainability and handover

Document repositories, environment configuration, account owners, recurring services and operating procedures. The contract distinguishes assigned deliverables from third-party licences and states the support period. Agree who will own routine updates and incidents.

(03) — How we approach it

We scope the content, data, integrations and operating requirements before implementation. Typed code, review and testing support maintainability; performance is measured on the agreed pages and environments. The proposal defines progress reviews, documentation, account access and source handover.

(04) — What's included

  • Custom front-end in Next.js, React and TypeScript
  • Performance checks and prioritised Core Web Vitals improvements
  • Accessible, responsive, SEO-ready markup
  • API and CMS integrations
  • Source handover and usage rights defined in the agreement

— Pricing

Published, fixed, and agreed before we start.

Two very different kinds of build sit under this service, so they are quoted separately rather than averaged into one misleading number.

  • Custom-coded marketing site

    AED 8,000 – 20,000

    Hand-built front end, no CMS bloat, bilingual, tuned for Core Web Vitals from the first commit.

  • Web application

    AED 25,000 – 100,000+

    Custom logic, authentication and integrations. The range is wide because complexity genuinely is — we scope it before quoting.

Paid in three stages: a deposit to start, a milestone payment at design approval, and the balance on launch.

The accepted proposal defines the price, deliverables and exclusions. Changes, usage rights, third-party charges and support terms are agreed explicitly.

(05) — Delivery checkpoints

From agreed scope to reviewed delivery

Each stage has a deliverable and an approval point. The proposal assigns responsibilities and the schedule.

Verify acceptance scenarios

Test defined user tasks, access boundaries and performance conditions.

What you review

  • Dated test record

Checkpoint: Resolve blocking issues or document accepted limitations.

Release and document

Prepare deployment, rollback, account access and maintenance notes.

What you review

  • Repository and operating notes

Checkpoint: Approve release readiness and handover.

(✦) — Why NxFold

Engineering decisions you can review.

We document the requirements, trade-offs and handover so the implementation can be maintained beyond its first release.

  • Real code, not drag-and-drop

    Code is reviewed against the agreed requirements, with tests for important business rules and user journeys.

  • UAE platform expertise

    Arabic interfaces and relevant local integrations are reviewed as project requirements, including provider access and any work needed to confirm feasibility.

  • Plain-language updates

    Weekly progress in plain English — what's done, what's next, and what needs a decision. No technical jargon you didn't ask for.

  • Tight scoping

    Vague requirements produce expensive projects. We invest time in the scoping phase to give you a number you can rely on before committing.

  • Transparent handover

    The agreed source files, operating notes and walkthrough help a receiving team understand the codebase and its dependencies.

(06) — FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before we start.

  • What technology stack do you use?

    We primarily use Next.js, React and TypeScript for custom web development. We select rendering, content management, data storage and deployment options according to the project’s requirements and ongoing maintenance needs.

  • Will I own the source code after the project?

    The agreement identifies which custom source and design files transfer, the payment conditions and the access provided at handover. Open-source and third-party packages, fonts and services retain their licences; hosting and subscription costs are listed separately.

  • Can you integrate with our existing business systems?

    We assess the integrations your project needs, including CRM, booking, ERP and payment providers. Support depends on the API, account eligibility, permissions, plan and test environment. Named providers are options to review, not evidence that every gateway has been delivered or is available to every merchant.

  • How long does web development take?

    A simple marketing website is estimated at 2–4 weeks; a feature-rich web application at 6–16 weeks, depending on scope. We confirm the schedule after reviewing content, integrations, access and review dependencies. Approved scope changes may alter milestones.

  • Do you work with UAE payment gateways?

    We can assess a connection to a UAE payment gateway when the provider supports your account and intended flow. Confirm merchant eligibility, supported payment methods, currencies, checkout approach, refunds and webhook behavior with the provider. This is a feasibility review, not a claim that every named gateway has been delivered or is available to every merchant.

  • When is custom website development worth it over a template or builder?

    A template or builder can suit a straightforward site with standard content and forms. Custom development becomes useful when you need a specific content model, booking or pricing rules, integrations with existing systems, or control over how the code evolves. Compare the required functionality, source ownership and ongoing maintenance costs before deciding. Both approaches need updates, security work and performance testing.

  • Can non-technical team members update the website?

    Yes. We integrate headless CMS platforms (Sanity, Contentful, or similar) that provide clean, intuitive admin interfaces for updating content — without any coding knowledge required. The front-end remains custom-built performant code; the CMS is simply the layer that manages your content.

  • How do you handle performance and Core Web Vitals?

    Performance is part of the implementation. We use code splitting, lazy loading and static asset caching to manage page loading. Core Web Vitals measure loading, responsiveness and visual stability; Lighthouse provides lab diagnostics, not a Core Web Vitals score. Results depend on the page, device, network and third-party services.

  • What does 'CI/CD pipeline' mean and why does it matter?

    CI/CD automates defined checks, builds and release steps. We agree which tests and approval gates apply and how to recover a failed release. Automation reduces repeated manual work; it does not eliminate defects or guarantee zero downtime.

  • How do you handle security in the codebase?

    Security is architectural, not a checklist. We use input validation, parameterised queries, authentication best practices, dependency auditing, secure headers, and HTTPS-only configurations. For higher-security applications we conduct dedicated security reviews and can engage third-party penetration testing.

  • What does the handover process look like?

    Handover covers the repository, setup and deployment documentation, account access and walkthrough agreed in the proposal. We identify secrets, dependencies, recurring charges and third-party licences so the receiving team can plan maintenance.

  • Can you build a bilingual Arabic/English platform?

    Yes. We scope both languages, RTL layouts, typography, forms, canonical URLs and hreflang. These help users and search engines identify the intended language version; they do not guarantee indexing or rankings.

  • Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

    The quotation and contract define any included support duration, its starting point and what it covers. Maintenance retainers for updates, monitoring or new features are scoped separately. No support period is assumed solely because the site has launched.

  • How much does professional web development cost?

    A custom-coded marketing website typically starts from AED 8,000–20,000. Web applications with custom logic, authentication, and integrations range from AED 25,000 to AED 100,000+ depending on complexity. We provide fixed-price quotes — not hourly estimates with open-ended billing.

  • Do you work with international clients?

    Yes. Most of our clients are in the UAE, and we have delivered for businesses in Kuwait and Romania. Our process is built for async remote collaboration — weekly progress updates, staging environments you can access from anywhere, and clear written communication at every stage.
