Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hire a design agency in Dubai?
Start by reviewing portfolios and case studies to assess quality and style fit. Look for agencies with GCC market experience, bilingual design capabilities, and transparent pricing. Request a discovery call to discuss your project scope, timeline, and budget. Ask for a fixed-price proposal with clear deliverables and revision rounds before committing. GLDS offers free 30-minute discovery calls with no obligation.
What should I look for in a Dubai design agency portfolio?
Look for: work in your industry or adjacent sectors, bilingual Arabic-English design capability, range across digital and print, consistency in quality across projects, and real client names (not just mockups). A strong portfolio shows systems thinking, not just individual deliverables. Ask about the agency's role in each project and whether they handled strategy or just execution.
How much does it cost to hire a design agency in Dubai?
Design agency costs in Dubai vary by scope: brand identity AED 15,000-150,000, website design AED 20,000-150,000, campaign design AED 10,000-200,000, and product design AED 20,000-200,000. Boutique studios like GLDS typically offer better value than large network agencies, with senior talent working directly on your project instead of being delegated to juniors.
