// LOCAL CONTEXT
Building for Dubai Silicon Oasis
Dubai Silicon Oasis was built as a technology district: a free zone with startups, hardware and electronics companies, universities and the offices that serve them, all in one community. Companies here tend to be technical themselves, which changes the conversation. The question is rarely whether to build software; it is who can build this specific piece properly while the core team stays on the product.
Being neighbours helps. A kick-off, a whiteboard session or a demo can happen in person in DSO without anyone crossing the city.
Who we build for
01 Startups
Founders in DSO and Dtec
A first version live in weeks, priced as one fixed total so the runway maths works, with the code in your repository from the first commit.
02 Hardware and IoT
Device and electronics companies
The software around the device: dashboards, APIs, customer portals and admin tools that turn device data into something customers can use.
03 Free-zone companies
Businesses in the community
Corporate websites in English and Arabic, and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with one system.
Web, software and AI. One team.
// WHAT WE BUILD
Most Dubai Silicon Oasis businesses need more than one of these, and splitting them between three suppliers is where projects stall. The same senior engineers design, build and connect all three.
Website development
01 / 03
Websites that load fast and bring enquiries
Marketing sites, booking and e-commerce for Dubai Silicon Oasis businesses, built on Next.js rather than a page builder: fast on a phone, multi-language from the start, and set up so search engines and AI assistants can read every page.

// SECURITY
Authect's team comes from a cybersecurity background, and it shows in the order we do things. Security is designed in at the scope stage and checked again before launch, on every project and at no extra cost.

01
Access control
Who can see and change each record, tested role by role, including what happens when someone edits a URL.
02
Authentication
Sign-in, sessions, password reset and two-factor flows reviewed for the common ways they are broken.
03
Input and uploads
Forms, file uploads and APIs checked against injection, cross-site scripting and oversized or disguised files.
04

No keys in the code, third-party packages scanned for known vulnerabilities, and unused access removed.

Data protection
Personal data mapped, encrypted in transit, kept only as long as needed, with consent handled for GDPR and UAE PDPL.

Infrastructure
HTTPS and security headers, backups that have been restored at least once, and monitoring that alerts a person.
One fixed price. No hourly meter.
// PRICING
We scope the work on a 15-minute call, send a fixed quote with a confirmed timeline, and start once you approve it. The price doesn't move unless the scope does, and you decide that.

Common questions
Where exactly is Authect located?
Authect - FZCO is registered at Building A1, Dubai Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, under IFZA trade licence 70505. Meetings are by arrangement; most work happens in your Slack and tools with weekly preview links.
Do you only work with companies in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
No. We work with companies across Dubai and the UAE, mainland or free zone, and with clients abroad. DSO is simply where we are registered and the easiest place to meet.
How much does a website or software project cost in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
It depends on scope, which is why we do not publish a rate card. After a 15-minute call you receive a one-page scope with one fixed total and a confirmed timeline within 48 hours. The number does not change unless you change the scope.
Do you do websites, software and AI, or just one of them?
All three, with the same senior team. Most projects combine them: a website connected to an internal tool, or a product with an AI feature inside. One team means one plan, one price and nobody to coordinate.
What does the security audit cover?
Access control, authentication, input and upload handling, secrets and third-party packages, personal-data handling and the hosting setup. It runs before every launch at no extra cost, and you receive the findings in writing.
Who owns the code when the project is finished?
You do. The code lives in your own repository from the first commit, and the hosting and accounts are in your name. You can continue with us, with another team or in-house.
