About us

Crafting digital experiences since 2011, now in the UAE.

The Dev Studio was founded in 2011 by Syed Shahzaib Ali. Today we are a team of ten designers, developers and content producers building websites, software and marketing for clients across the UK, Australia, Europe, North America and the UAE.

We started as a two-person studio building websites for small businesses in Italy and the UK. In 2012 we became the dedicated development partner of a UK and Australian healthcare marketing group and have grown with them ever since, maintaining and migrating hundreds of websites and building integrations and software products along the way.

That long-term partnership shaped how we work: proactive, accountable and obsessed with the details that make a site fast, findable and easy to run. We bring the same approach to every UAE client, whether it is a five-page bilingual brochure site or a full e-commerce platform.

The UAE is a natural home for us. We have built Arabic-ready sites for years, we understand the PDPL, trade licence and VAT details Emirati customers look for, and our working hours line up with Gulf time.

Looking for dental or orthodontic marketing in the UAE? That is handled by our sister brand WebDontics.

Honest and reliable

Clients describe us as reliable and honest. We say what we will do, do it, and tell you early if something changes.

In-house, not outsourced

Every designer, developer and content producer is on our team, equipped and supported, so quality stays consistent.

Bilingual by default

English and Arabic are planned together from the first wireframe, not bolted on at the end.

Always reachable

Working hours overlap with Gulf time, with evening and weekend cover for urgent incidents.

Our studio

A ten-person in-house team, running a UK and Australian agency's web work since 2012.

Since 2012 our dedicated team has been the development partner of a UK and Australian healthcare marketing group, maintaining and migrating hundreds of websites, building integrations and shipping SaaS products. That is where our habits come from: long-term accountability, proper process and no outsourcing.

In the UAE we offer the same model to every client, from a fixed-price bilingual site to a dedicated team on a monthly retainer, with Gulf working hours and evening cover for emergencies.
