Quick answer

How much does a logistics website cost in the UAE, and how long does it take?

A freight, transport or courier company site with services, routes, credentials and a structured quote request fits our five-page Small Business Website at AED 2,490 and launches in about 2–3 weeks. A custom-designed logistics site with one page per service and lane starts from ≈ AED 4,407 and takes 4–6 weeks. A shipper portal with quotes, bookings, tracking and documents, or a rate calculator, starts from ≈ AED 12,854. Every project is a fixed price with 3 months of free maintenance — see the packages. Dubai agencies typically quote AED 800–3,000 for a template logistics site and AED 2,500–12,000+ for a custom one; our prices are fixed and published.

Why it matters

Shippers vet a carrier online before they tender

The visitor to a logistics website is rarely browsing. It is a shipper's coordinator sourcing capacity on a lane, a procurement team checking a vendor before a tender, a broker verifying a licence, or a driver reading the careers page. Their questions are concrete — can you move my cargo, on this route, with this equipment, under a valid licence, at a fair rate — and the site has to answer them before being asked.

The UAE is a logistics hub by design: Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, Dubai South and the airport cargo villages, the free zones, and road corridors into Saudi Arabia, Oman and the rest of the GCC. Most carrier websites say none of this specifically. A page per service and per lane — Dubai to Riyadh road freight, Jebel Ali sea freight to India, customs clearance at Dubai airport — is what both shippers and Google are looking for.

Trust is verifiable here, not claimed: the trade licence and its authority or free zone, customs-broker registration, cargo insurance, certifications and fleet details. Showing them plainly, with a quote request that can be submitted in a minute, turns a brochure into a sales asset — and the Arabic version does the same for shippers across the Gulf who research in Arabic.

  • Structured quote request
  • Service pages
  • Lane & route pages
  • Credentials visible
  • Tracking links
  • Arabic + English
  • Careers for drivers

Common problems

Why logistics websites in the UAE lose shippers

The four gaps we fix most often for forwarders, carriers, courier companies and 3PLs.

  1. "Contact us for rates"

    The only way to get a price is an email box or a phone number. A coordinator who needs a rate today does not wait; a competitor with a structured quote form gets the enquiry — and the lane.

  2. A muddled identity

    The homepage does not say whether you are a carrier, a forwarder, a broker or a 3PL — or claims to be all of them. Shippers treat those as different businesses; trying to be everything to everyone sells nothing to anyone.

  3. Credentials buried or missing

    Licence, insurance, certifications and fleet are the first things a procurement team checks. If they are not on the site, the team assumes the worst and moves to the vendor that shows them.

  4. Services bundled, lanes absent

    Air, sea, road, customs and warehousing on one page, and no page for the corridors you actually run. Google cannot rank a bundle for "freight forwarder Jebel Ali" or "cargo to Saudi from Dubai", so your competitors do.

Must-have features

Six things a logistics website must do

The features operations and sales managers ask for first — and where each one fits in our fixed-price packages before an integration is scoped.

  • A structured quote request

    Origin, destination, mode, cargo, weight or pallets, dates and special handling in six to eight fields — submitted in under a minute on a phone and delivered to operations on email and WhatsApp as a formatted message, with a reference number for the shipper.

    Fits: Small Business Website AED 2,490
  • One page per service

    Air freight, sea freight, road transport, courier, customs clearance, warehousing, project cargo — each with equipment, documents needed, transit times and the questions operations answers daily. Never bundled, because bundles do not rank and do not convince.

    Fits: Small Business Website and up
  • Lane and coverage pages

    The corridors you actually run — UAE to Saudi Arabia by road, Jebel Ali to India by sea, Dubai to Muscat — with transit times, border and customs notes and a map. Uncommon on UAE carrier sites and among the biggest search opportunities in the sector.

    Fits: custom-designed site from ≈ AED 4,407
  • Credentials a shipper can verify

    Trade licence and authority or free zone, customs and forwarding registrations, cargo insurance, certifications, fleet and memberships on the homepage and a compliance page — the first things a procurement team checks.

    Fits: every package
  • Tracking and a shipper portal

    A tracking box on your domain, then — when the account base justifies it — a portal with quotes, bookings, milestones, proof of delivery, documents and invoices, built as a light application over the systems you already run.

    Fits: shipper portal from ≈ AED 12,854
  • Local SEO and a careers page

    Logistics and moving-company schema, a Google Business Profile with the right category and a real staffed address, service and lane pages that rank — and a careers page built as a conversion page, because drivers are often the site's biggest audience.

    Fits: SEO sprint from ≈ AED 6,611

How it runs

How a logistics website project runs

Six steps, in the order we run them on every transport build — the quote form first, so the site is earning enquiries while the rest is built.

  1. Services & lanes audit

    We map your services, the corridors and ports you actually run, your fleet, licences and certifications, the systems you use and how enquiries reach you today — the brief for the quote flow and the page list.

  2. Content & credentials

    Service descriptions, documents needed, transit times, credentials and fleet details go into one structured source in English and Arabic. We plan real photography of your yard, warehouse and vehicles.

  3. Quote-first design

    Wireframes and a visual design built around the quote request, the service pages and the credentials — mobile first, because coordinators and drivers arrive from a phone search or a WhatsApp link.

  4. Build & integrations

    Laravel or WordPress build with your TMS or WMS, tracking, payment gateway and the WhatsApp Business API connected and tested with real requests before launch.

  5. Launch in stages

    Services and the quote form first, then lane pages and tracking, then the shipper portal — so each stage goes live only after operations has tested it with real jobs.

  6. SEO & support

    Logistics schema, Google Business Profile with the right category, service and lane pages that rank, analytics on which lanes and services bring the enquiries, and 3 months of free maintenance after launch.

UAE notes

What is different about a logistics website in the UAE

Four things we build in from the start on every transport project here.

  • Licence, free zone and registrations shown

    Whether you operate from a mainland licence or a free zone (a Jebel Ali Free Zone or Dubai South licence, for example), and whether you hold Dubai Customs broker or forwarding registrations, matters to the shipper vetting you. The licence, authority, registrations and insurance get a visible place and a compliance page.

  • Customs and documents explained

    Shippers ask what paperwork a move needs before they ask the price. Service pages list the documents, incoterms handled, port and airport coverage and typical clearance times — generic enough to publish, specific enough to be useful.

  • Payments that match the customer

    Business shippers pay on invoice and credit terms; courier and relocation customers pay online in AED through a UAE-local gateway or cards, with cash on delivery where you offer it. The site handles both without confusing either.

  • Arabic for GCC lanes

    The corridors into Saudi Arabia, Oman and the wider Gulf are sold to shippers who often research in Arabic. Services, lanes, credentials and the quote request exist in Arabic and English, with Arabic search optimisation of their own.

FAQ

Common questions from logistics managers

Straight answers on cost, timelines, quote forms, tracking, credentials, Arabic and your existing systems.

How much does a logistics website cost in the UAE?

A freight, transport or courier company site with services, routes, credentials, a structured quote request and contact fits our five-page Small Business Website at AED 2,490, with 3 months of free maintenance. A custom-designed logistics site starts from USD 1,200 (≈ AED 4,407). A shipper portal — quotes, bookings, tracking, documents and invoices behind a login — or a rate calculator starts from USD 3,500 (≈ AED 12,854). Group sites with many services and countries are quoted on a fixed scope after a free call.

How long does it take?

A five-page site with services, routes and a quote form launches in about 2–3 weeks after we receive your content. A site with one page per service and per lane — 15–30 pages — takes 4–6 weeks. Add tracking links, a TMS or WMS integration or a shipper portal and most projects launch in 8–12 weeks. We put the quote form live first, so the site is earning enquiries while the rest is built.

What should a quote request form ask for?

Enough for your operations team to price it without a callback, and no more: origin and destination, mode, cargo type and packaging, weight and dimensions or pallet count, pickup and delivery dates, special handling — temperature, hazardous class, oversize — and one notes field. Six to eight fields, structured, with the request landing in your ops inbox and WhatsApp as a formatted message. A motivated shipper should be able to submit it in under a minute on a phone.

Can customers track shipments on our website?

Yes. The simplest version is a tracking box that opens your carrier's or TMS tracking page with the reference pre-filled. The full version pulls milestones from your transport or warehouse system through its API and shows them on your own domain, with proof of delivery and documents behind a shipper login. Which version makes sense depends on what your systems expose; we check that in the first call.

Which credentials should the website show?

The ones a procurement team verifies before tendering: your trade licence and licensing authority or free zone, customs-broker or freight-forwarder registrations, cargo insurance, ISO or industry certifications, fleet details and your memberships. We give them a visible place on the homepage and a dedicated compliance page — burying them reads as evasive to a shipper comparing vendors.

Will the site work in Arabic for GCC customers?

Yes. The Arabic version is a proper right-to-left site — services, lanes, credentials, the quote request and the WhatsApp confirmations exist in both languages, with Arabic search engine optimisation of its own. Shippers in Saudi Arabia, Oman and the wider GCC who research in Arabic find the same information and request a quote the same way as English-speaking customers.

Can it connect to our transport or warehouse software?

In most cases, yes. Transport-management, warehouse-management and courier platforms used in the UAE offer tracking pages, webhooks or an API. We connect the website to whatever your system exposes — at minimum a tracking link and a quote request that lands in your queue, at best a two-way sync that creates the job and returns milestones to the customer. Where a system offers no integration, the website keeps its own quote log and sends every request to operations as a structured message.

How do I choose a logistics website company in Dubai?

Ask to see a quote form they built that lands structured in an ops inbox, a page-per-lane site, and how they show licences and insurance. Get the fixed price in writing with Arabic included, and make sure you own the domain and code.
