Software for Dubai companies, built from the UK.
OMWSD LTD designs and builds apps, web platforms and back offices for companies outside the UK, including in Dubai, where we are building for a business now. The work runs remotely day to day, and we travel to Dubai when it is better done in the same room.
Dubai is three hours ahead of the UK in summer and four in winter, so our mornings are your afternoons: there is a shared working day for calls and reviews, and the build carries on after your office closes.
Building in Dubai now
Dubai meal-plan marketplace
A meal-plan marketplace in Dubai asked us to recreate and improve its app and back office, and to work towards menus that upload automatically from the kitchens it works with. We are building the new platform alongside the system the business runs today, which stays live until the switch-over. The client has agreed to this work being shown; their name, their kitchens and their customers are not.
Read the case studyHow the work runs from the UK
Written first
What we are building is agreed in writing, screens and data included, before any code is written, so nothing depends on a call being remembered.
A demo you can open
Work in progress runs on a demo site that you and your team can open on any phone, not just in screenshots.
Your accounts
Apps are published under your own developer account, and if you ever move the work elsewhere, everything needed to do that goes with it.
The builder answers
The person you talk to writes the code, signs the builds and answers the email.
