Quote-first B2B websites for trading LLCs, distributors, wholesalers, industrial and oil-and-gas suppliers and manufacturers across the UAE — a searchable catalogue with SKUs and datasheets, a request-for-quote basket instead of a checkout, certifications a procurement officer can verify, and Arabic and English for government tenders and GCC distributors.

  • SKUs + datasheets
  • RFQ basket not a checkout
  • ISO + vendor registration
  • Fixed price no retainers

Why it matters

Procurement officers vet a supplier online before the first RFQ

A buyer in a contractor’s procurement team — or at an ADNOC subcontractor — searches “SS316 pipe fittings supplier Dubai”, opens three sites and sends the RFQ to the one with a datasheet, a stock or lead-time indication, the ISO certificate and a vendor-registration line. The others never learn they were considered.

B2B buying is a process of elimination. The first pass happens on your website, usually by someone who is not allowed to call before they have a shortlist. If the specification, the standard and the credentials are not there, the supplier is out — however good the price would have been.

The UAE is a re-export hub: Jebel Ali, DMCC, Dubai South and KIZAD serve buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, East Africa and South Asia. A catalogue in English and Arabic, with incoterms and delivery points stated, sells to all of them without a sales trip.

Common problems

Why trading websites in the UAE lose RFQs

Four reasons a qualified buyer leaves a supplier site without sending anything.

  1. “We deal in all kinds of…”

    A brochure site that lists every category in one paragraph and shows no products. The buyer searching for a specific valve or cable size has nothing to compare and nothing to add to an RFQ.

  2. Catalogues locked in PDFs

    A 60-page PDF that Google cannot rank, buyers cannot search and nobody can link to a single product. Every update means a new file and old copies keep circulating.

  3. Credentials missing or buried

    ISO certificates, the ICV certificate, vendor registrations, the trade licence and the importer code are what procurement checks first. When they are hidden, the supplier is assumed not to have them.

  4. No Arabic for tenders and distributors

    Government and semi-government tenders, and many GCC distributors, work in Arabic. An English-only catalogue is invisible to a large part of the market it could serve.

How it runs

How a trading website project runs

Product data is the critical path on a B2B build, so it starts on day one — while the design is still in wireframes.

  1. Catalogue & credentials audit

    We look at your SKU count, data quality, certifications and the systems you run — and agree what goes online first.

  2. Product data import, EN + AR

    Products imported from Excel or your ERP, datasheets attached, names and specifications in English and Arabic, photography planned where it matters.

  3. Catalogue-first design

    Search, filters and the RFQ basket within thumb reach on a phone, and dense spec tables that still read on a laptop.

  4. Build & integrations

    Laravel or WordPress build with ERP, CRM and WhatsApp connected — tested with real RFQs from your sales team before launch.

  5. Launch in stages

    Credentials and categories first, then the full catalogue with the RFQ basket, then the trade portal for approved accounts.

  6. B2B SEO & support

    Category and product pages that rank, schema, analytics on which lines draw RFQs, and 3 months of free maintenance on the starter packages; support terms for custom builds are in the proposal.

UAE notes

What is different about a trading website in the UAE

Four things UAE buyers and tender committees look for that generic B2B templates miss.

  • The credentials buyers check

    The trade licence (mainland, JAFZA, DMCC or KIZAD), the Dubai Customs importer code, Dubai Chamber membership, ISO certificates, the In-Country Value (ICV) certificate and ADNOC or Aramco vendor registration for energy supply chains.

  • Product conformity on the product page

    ECAS and EQM marks issued under the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, and Gulf conformity marks for regulated goods, shown where the buyer reads the specification.

  • Prices and terms stated the B2B way

    Prices in AED excluding VAT with the 5% shown separately, incoterms such as EXW Jebel Ali or DAP stated, and credit terms explained for approved trade accounts.

  • Arabic for tenders and distributors

    Government and semi-government tenders, and many distributors in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait, work in Arabic. The Arabic catalogue is built to be found and read by them.

FAQ

Common questions from trading and industrial firms

Cost, catalogue size, the RFQ workflow, trade pricing, ERP, Arabic and timelines.

How much does a trading company website cost in Dubai?

A trading or distribution company site with product categories, brands, credentials and an enquiry form fits our five-page Small Business Website at AED 2,490, live in 2–3 weeks. A searchable catalogue with datasheets and an RFQ basket is the Basic Business Web App at AED 4,990; both include 3 months of free maintenance. A custom-designed B2B site starts from USD 1,200 (≈ AED 4,407), a store with online payment from USD 2,500 (≈ AED 9,181) and a trade portal with ERP sync from USD 3,500 (≈ AED 12,854); support terms for custom builds are in the proposal.

How many products can the catalogue hold?

Thousands. Products are imported from Excel or your ERP rather than typed in; very large imports, or data that needs cleaning first, are scoped and priced before the quote.

How does the RFQ workflow work?

The buyer adds lines to a basket, enters quantities, company, incoterm and delivery point, and sends one request. Sales receives it as a structured email and WhatsApp message, it is logged in the CRM, and the quotation goes back by email — with an optional customer login to see past quotes.

Can we show different prices to trade customers?

Yes, in the trade portal build: tiered prices behind a login for approved accounts. Public pages show list prices or a “request a quote” button, whichever suits each product line.

Will it connect to our ERP?

Odoo, SAP Business One, Zoho and Tally can be connected through their APIs or a scheduled import, so stock levels and lead times on the site come from the system your team already maintains.

Do you build Arabic B2B sites?

Yes. The Arabic catalogue is a real right-to-left site with its own search optimisation, written for tender committees and Gulf distributors.

How long does it take?

A five-page site launches in 2–3 weeks, a catalogue with the RFQ basket in 4–6 weeks, and a trade portal with ERP sync in 8–12 weeks, depending on the state of the product data.

How do I choose a web design company for a trading business in Dubai?

Ask for a catalogue with datasheets and an RFQ basket they have built, how they display credentials, Arabic you can read, and a fixed price in writing that names the SKU count included. Make sure you own the domain, the data and the code.
