    The person behind
    the work.

    I'm Mina — a web designer and developer in Dubai. I build websites that don't just look good: they turn visitors into customers. Eight-plus years of it, for businesses in the UAE, the GCC and beyond.

    How I work

    Judge the work, not the pitch.

    No photo of me here, and no borrowed stock faces either — the proof is the live sites I've shipped, which you can visit and click through yourself. Fifteen minutes on WhatsApp will tell you more about working with me than any bio.

    Website design

    Layouts that put the next step in front of the visitor, on any screen.

    Front-end development

    Hand-built with React and modern tooling — no page-builder bloat.

    UI / UX

    Fewer clicks between a visitor arriving and a visitor contacting you.

    Conversion work

    Clear offers, clear calls to action, forms people actually finish.

    SEO & AI visibility

    Pages that Google — and ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — can actually read.

    Performance

    Sites that load fast on a phone on mobile data, not just on office wifi.

    FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Common questions about my process and experience.

    What makes your approach to web design different?

    I build for what the site has to achieve, not for how it looks in a portfolio. That means starting from your business goals and judging the finished thing on whether visitors turn into customers.

    What types of businesses do you typically work with?

    Service-based businesses and e-commerce brands, from startups to established companies, mostly across the UAE and GCC.

    How long does a website refresh or rebuild project usually take?

    Most projects ship in 3 to 10 days. A larger build with custom features can take longer — you get a firm timeline with the fixed quote, before any work starts.

    More answers to help you make an informed decision.

    Is it better to hire a freelance web designer or an agency in Dubai?

    A freelancer gives you a direct line to the person doing the work, and usually costs less. An agency gives you a larger team, but you may never speak to whoever actually builds your site. For most small and medium businesses in the UAE that trade — fewer people, more access — is the better one.

    What should I look for in a freelance web designer's portfolio?

    Live sites you can open and click, not mockups. Then check the work is relevant to your industry and to the Dubai and GCC market, and that it holds up on a phone.

    Do you handle both design and development?

    Yes — both UI/UX design and front-end development, by the same person. Nothing gets lost handing a design over to a developer, because there is no handover.
