With over two decades of experience, we’ve fine-tuned our approach to deliver websites that are not only visually appealing but also functional and scalable. Here’s a look at how we bring a website to life:
We begin with in-depth project research and planning. This includes documenting requirements, timelines, and goals and finalizing the sitemap. At this stage, client inputs are essential to set a clear foundation.
Our team creates wireframes and a detailed workflow that outlines how users will interact with the site. This helps us ensure a smooth user journey.
We start by designing the homepage and inner page and send them for client approval. Once the initial version is approved, we design the rest of the pages, for both desktop and mobile.
Once the design is approved, our developers convert them into HTML. We ensure that the website is mobile-responsive and works across all devices.
We integrate your site with the right CMS platform based on your business needs. We also develop the user and admin functionalities.
At this stage, we upload the content either provided by the client or developed by us (if included in the project). It is aligned with the approved templates and submitted during or immediately after the design phase.
Before going live, we perform quality assurance testing. We check for browser and device compatibility, verify content accuracy, and ensure everything functions perfectly.
We share a demo link to the client to review the website. We gather the client feedback and make any necessary changes before launch.
Once everything is approved, we go live with the website and share a final project sign-off document.
We provide a user manual and basic CMS training to the client’s team to help them manage the new website with confidence.
Our web design expertise spans across a wide range of industries, from large corporate groups to niche sectors. With over two decades of experience, we’ve helped leading brands in the UAE and beyond craft impactful digital experiences tailored to their industry needs.

GMI delivered a custom Umbraco solution with over 20 versatile templates, designed to bring both flexibility and visual sophistication. Completed flawlessly and on schedule, the project set a new benchmark for quality. We earned the client's trust which led to a long-term retainer partnership.

Within a tight deadline, we delivered a high-quality, fully optimized site that aligned with their brand and business objectives. Impressed by the results, Al Foah continues to collaborate with GMI for a range of services including annual maintenance, website hosting, and the development of new microsites.
Since 2019, our collaboration with Spinney's has grown into a transformative digital partnership. Using .NET, MVC, and MS SQL, we developed a suite of custom portals tailored to their operational needs, including employee management, property tracking, complaints handling, and more. Each solution was deployed with precision, supported by a dedicated FTE model that ensures Spinney's gets round-the-clock support as their systems expand and evolve.

— Blue Rhine IndustriesGMI team of web development and designing has been of great service to us during our web-redesign phase. They work in a very calibrated fashion with attention to detail. It is wonderful working with this team who ensure a faster turnaround time. We wish them all the best.
— Praveen VI have known the GMI family for years and recently began a series of projects with the team. One of the main projects we did with them was the complete overhaul of our company website. I am beyond thrilled with the final product and, just as important, the experience with the team throughout.
Sean worked with me at the BD stage, and was able to grasp the ideas and vision very well, conveying it across clearly to the team. Joshua handled client servicing for my account, effectively coordinating input and feedback from me to the rest of the team to ensure smooth actioning and execution. Allan headed the design team, and they were able to execute my vision beautifully. I must note that, in terms of design, I tend to be very selective in what I like, and GMI was able to meet the high standards expected.
Again, I am very happy with the final result of the work put into this by everyone here. The product and experience are a testimony to the leadership, and I look forward to bringing more projects across their way.
— Aashish RajeshVery happy with the GMI. They are very professional and supportive. Our SEO and Website maintenance are handled by the GMI Team. Our business has grown steadily, in spite of Covid

— Saeed OlaikWe’re a web design agency steeped in technology, experience and professionalism. Our workmanship comes with a legacy of 24 years, a large web design team of 42+, delivering over 1,250+ websites in the last 2 decades.
We’ve built dozens of multi-lingual websites, websites for e-commerce, multi-national brands, government agencies, and B2B and B2C companies operating in diverse industries including FMCG, Healthcare, Education, Tourism, Retail, Real Estate, Technology, and the top UAE based Business Holding Companies.
When you choose us, you’re choosing not only a true-blue web design company that creates high-performing websites but also a full-service digital marketing agency that has a track record of taking your brand, business into having a successful online presence.
At GMI, we work with a wide range of technologies and CMS platforms to suit the specific needs of each project. Our expertise spans across:
Drupal – for enterprise-level websites with complex requirements
WordPress – ideal for customizable and easy-to-manage websites
Laravel – for building scalable and secure web applications
Umbraco – a flexible .NET-based CMS for content-heavy corporate sites
Custom .NET Development – for highly tailored business solutions
WooCommerce – for WordPress-based eCommerce websites
Magento – for feature-rich, large-scale eCommerce platforms
Shopify – for fast, mobile-first eCommerce stores with minimal overhead
We recommend the most suitable technology based on your business goals, scalability needs, and content management preferences.
At GMI, we ensure a smooth and transparent design journey by following a step-by-step collaboration process:
Kickoff meeting: We begin with a detailed meeting to align on goals, expectations, key deliverables, and timelines.
Briefing and ideation sessions: These sessions help us understand your business objectives, brand vision, and creative direction.
Client questionnaire: We share a set of tailored questions to get deeper insights into your brand personality, preferences, and design expectations.
Design prototypes: We present design mockups using tools like Adobe XD and Figma, making it easy for you to review and give feedback in real-time.
Continuous feedback and iteration: Your feedback is integrated at every stage to ensure the final design aligns perfectly with your brand and goals.
This collaborative process ensures you're informed and involved from start to finish, resulting in a website that delivers both visually and functionally.
We usually provide 2 initial design options to choose from. Once a direction is selected, we include up to 3 rounds of design revisions to fine-tune the look and feel based on your feedback. This ensures we arrive at a design that aligns perfectly with your vision while keeping the process efficient and focused.
We offer a 30-day warranty period after the website launch to address any bug fixes or technical issues. Beyond that, we provide customizable Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) that cover ongoing updates, performance monitoring, content changes, and technical support.
The timeline largely depends on the complexity of the website and the number of templates required. On average, a standard informational website with around 8–10 templates typically takes about 1.5 to 2 months from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom features may require additional time.
We follow a project-based pricing model, where costs are determined based on the actual effort estimated by our design and development teams. This approach ensures transparency and allows us to offer fair, customized pricing based on the specific requirements and complexity of each project.
Yes, absolutely. Since our pricing is based on actual design and development effort, we’re able to offer tailored solutions for different types of clients, like startups, SME, or large enterprises. Our flexible approach allows us to adapt to your goals, scale, and budget, while still delivering high-quality results.
Hiring a web design agency means you've very little to worry about. There will be a cordial client service team to take care of your needs on one side and experienced professionals to work on your project on the other.
You can expect a level of professionalism in every aspect, right from the first meeting through to project delivery and afterwards. More importantly, your website will be optimised for Google as well as for other search engines' crawling and indexing. In an agency, there will be many resources deployed for project completion. So even if one or two people go on leave, you’ll get your work completed on time, as promised.
Above all, agencies will always be technologically updated, so you can have your site built on the latest and best platforms.
Certainly, yes. The websites that we design load smoothly on any device - be it a computer, a tablet or a mobile phone.
There are many web design platforms out there and we’ve expertise in almost all of them including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal. However, we choose a platform only based on our client's preferences and the type of project.
Yes, we do... when we feel it is necessary. For instance, when building a mobile site, the rule of thumb is to make the navigation more thumb-friendly. Similarly, convenience and ease of use are important for a web design. We recommend redesign when we find your website design:
is not responsive
is not user-friendly
has an outdated design
doesn't reflect your brand identity
Responsiveness is the ability of a website to adapt to multiple devices or screens. Earlier, websites were made for desktops alone and they ran slow or didn't load properly on smartphones or tablets. Implementing a responsive design can fix this problem and your users will be able to use your site conveniently on their mobile phones.
Today, with the proliferation of IoT devices, your customers will be interacting with you mainly using their smartphones and tablets rather than computers. Also, with Google's mobile-first indexing, responsive design has become the need of the hour. So, as a responsible web design company in Dubai, we leave no stone unturned to offer your visitors a seamless user experience.
A responsive web design means your website is accessible on mobile devices. Users can log on to your site whenever they want to and even while on the go, which increases their frequency of visits. It can increase your loading speed, offering better user experience and low bounce rate. Considering the fact that search engines like Google give importance to user experience, being responsive can improve your site ranking as well.
No. We're transparent in our pricing.
Definitely, a good design can drive business growth. Your website serves as your online, 'self-service' store, where your customers come and buy products without human assistance. Therefore, you need to make your website easier-to-navigate for a smooth customer journey. The friendlier it is for your customers, the more they will visit and purchase your products and services from your website.
Yes. Whether it is a personal blog or a corporate website, we design a website keeping search engines in mind. Search engines are as much important as your users. There is no point in having a website that is not visible on search engines. As a web design Dubai Agency, we're proud that our websites are optimised for Google and Bing crawlers.
