DAFZA website design with the search work done before a word is written

Next to Dubai International Airport, a DAFZA courier or trader can sell across Dubai from a site built service by service and district by district, billed monthly.

Website design for DAFZA couriers and traders, whose buyers are other companies searching by service and by place

A courier company inside DAFZA sells to other businesses: a trader who needs cartons collected, an office posting contracts abroad, an online seller wanting a pickup each afternoon. Those buyers are mostly other companies, so the person searching is an operations manager or an owner with a job to place, and they do not browse a menu. Buyers type a job plus a location, say next day parcel courier DAFZA or customs document delivery Al Nahda, and the phone rings at the firm with the matching page. Most couriers answer with a site headed Services and a phone number. Our first step is to size the searches: every service is tested against every district, the firms already ranking are noted, and the results reach you as a sheet before any drafting begins. One monthly payment covers the hosting, the build and every edit, SEO included, with the entry plan from AED 1,500 a month + VAT.

01

DAFZA route, cut off time and rate changes edited without a fresh quote

A courier adds a Sunday pickup, moves its afternoon cut off, opens a route to a new area or revises a rate card. A WhatsApp message with the change in it is the whole brief. We rewrite the page, send no quote and keep no queue, because content edits are included in the plan. Brand work follows the same route, be it a redrawn logo, new photographs of the vans or one tidier palette applied across every page. A DAFZA buyer comparing couriers reads the cut off time first, and a site still showing last season's is quietly telling them to ring someone else. The same update can go to your social media in DAFZA.

02

What DAFZA's traders, assemblers and service firms need on a site

The DAFZA licence list covers more than one kind of company, and each needs a different site. Anyone holding the trade licence for import, export, re export, distribution and storage has to show which goods it moves. A light industrial firm, licensed for manufacturing, packaging and assembly, has to show what it can make. A service firm in advertising, legal work, finance or education needs its people and credentials in view. A courier works for all 3, so its pages speak to each. DAFZ also lists aircraft, jewellery, food and beverages and textiles among its sectors, so the loads differ and each kind earns its own page. The buyers are other businesses, which means the quote form comes first and the company story second.

03

DAFZA plans run 12 months, then roll on monthly at the same price

The shortest term is 12 months. After the first year billing carries on monthly at the very figure you signed at, so an owner who budgets annually can note next year's cost now. No deposit changes hands, and no build fee exists. The invoice dated on signature day is the first one, and from then on the same monthly amount covers hosting, district pages and ranking effort. A full year fits a free zone company, since a new page needs months to climb and a buyer weighing suppliers rarely rings on the first visit. The plans and prices show what each size covers.

04

A DAFZA courier company loses pickups with only a Services page

A courier's site usually lists same day, international, document and freight delivery in one paragraph on one page. Buyers search in narrower terms such as same day courier DAFZA, parcel courier by Dubai Airport Free Zone Metro Station and document delivery Al Qusais. With no page for a piece, Google has nothing to offer, and the pickup goes to another courier. Each service is then written separately for each district the courier reaches, and drafting waits until the keyword research has been read. That sheet shows where few firms compete, and those pages are written first. 4 services over 12 districts makes 48 distinct searches, which means 48 pages.

05

DAFZA pages in English first, with Arabic scoped on a call

Every plan is delivered in English. Arabic or other languages mean a Custom quote after a call, since native copy, a fluent proofreader and fresh search counts all add effort. No Custom figure appears on this page, because that price follows a call about the DAFZA company's goods, services and buyers. If your buyers read English, nothing is lost by starting there, and a buyer who reads Arabic still finds the WhatsApp button and quote form on the English pages while a second language waits until the first set is climbing.

06

Why a DAFZA page needs the zone's licence types and Metro stop in it

Agencies from elsewhere often publish a DAFZA page by changing one word on a page written for somewhere else. A reader at a trading company expects the licence types, the sectors and the Metro stop to be named, yet that page names none, and its price is usually missing because a price can be checked. Here the price is shown and the content comes from research into the zone: its 4 licence types, its trading and light industrial companies, and the Green Line stop on Al Nahda Street. Wikipedia reports that the Smart Police Station opened in October 2020, offering 46 security services, and the zone lists it with its other facilities. We claim no office in the zone, since this work is research and writing and does not depend on a desk near the airport.

Plans

DAFZA plans: choose the services and districts, the craft stays the same

The quality of the work does not change between sizes. A bigger plan simply gives more services and more districts a page each.

Worked example

Same day, document and freight pickups for a courier company in DAFZA begin in Al Qusais and Al Nahda, and 6 further districts need those pages as well. Then 5 services over 9 districts makes 45 searches, so 45 pages.

Who each plan suits
  • Launch: One courier, trader or consultancy inside the zone, listing up to 6 services for buyers in 10 districts.
  • Growth: An assembler or distributor selling 10 services into 20 districts.
  • Apex: A trading group with 15 services, selling into all 30 districts.

Frequently asked questions

What does a DAFZA business get on the Launch plan?

Launch, from AED 1,500 a month + VAT, fits a DAFZA firm whose service list is short. Behind the monthly amount stand schema markup, an llms.txt file, the keyword sheet, map profile work and a ranking note sent every month. Up to 60 pages fit in the plan, with SEO inside the sum, so no second supplier is needed. Edits to wording, prices and photographs are made on request, the term is 12 months and nothing is owed beforehand.

What if my DAFZA business grows into more districts?

The plan can follow it. Moving up to Growth lifts the limit to 20 districts, and Apex lifts it to 30, with the new pages published on the existing site. We suggest the step up once the district list outgrows your plan, agree it with you first, and never move you without a conversation. Past 450 pages, or for an Arabic or ecommerce site, the Custom plan applies and is priced on a call. A DAFZA business never has to start over.

How do you pick the districts for a business based in DAFZA?

By asking where your buyers are. Companies in the zone can apply for a dual licence to trade across Dubai, with DAFZ approval first, so a DAFZA firm may sell well beyond its own gates. Our questions are which licence you hold and where you deliver. The districts beside the zone come next. Examples are websites for Al Qusais firms, Al Nahda web design and web design in Al Twar, all put through the same test. Candidate districts are scored by monthly searches before anything is written, and the list waits for your approval.

Can you build my DAFZA website in Arabic as well as English?

Yes, as a Custom build that we scope with you on a call before naming any figure. The standard plans are in English for a practical reason: Arabic pages need native writing, a second round of search research and a check by a fluent reader before they go live. Custom is priced by quote only. Many DAFZA businesses launch in English and add Arabic for the one or 2 services where search demand justifies it.

Is the website mine if my DAFZA business is on a monthly plan?

Throughout the 12 months the finished site sits in our Webflow workspace. A year on, the site may move across for AED 5,000 + VAT one off, into a Webflow account in your name that carries every DAFZA district page. Staying put is the other option, with the monthly price unchanged. Either route, the structured data and images travel with the pages, so the transferred site reads and looks as it did before.

Can I pay once for a website in DAFZA instead of monthly?

One off sites are from AED 25,000 + VAT, are scoped in a consultation and belong to the DAFZA company outright once live. It suits a DAFZA firm that prefers a fixed cost and will look after the site itself, perhaps because someone in the team already writes and tends the district pages. District pages and monthly ranking work are not part of it, so a firm wanting them buys them separately, and a site that ranks usually costs less through the plan.

The bottom line

A DAFZA courier with a lone Services page never meets the trader who typed exactly its job, and the pickup lands with whoever wrote that page. We write one for every service and district, from research, and keep them current each month. For the full list of services see the DAFZA marketing page, and for how a build proceeds read our Dubai web design page. The Green Line stop sits on Al Nahda Street near the airport's Terminal 2, a landmark buyers often give when they describe where a pickup is. Until the pages rank, ranking work for DAFZA firms and Google and Meta advertising in DAFZA cover the months.
