Tell us what you sell
What comes with every store
Your brand, not a stock theme
Your logo, fonts and colours applied throughout, with the layout arranged around your products.
Payments that do not fail
Card payments and cash on delivery connected and tested, so nothing breaks at the checkout step.
Built for phones first
Most of your customers buy on their phone. That is where we build and test the store first.
Maintenance from AED 1,500 a month
We upload new products, swap banners and keep everything running. Optional, and you can start it later.
Does this sound like you?
The freelancer went quiet
You found someone on Upwork or Fiverr at a good price. Then the replies got slower, the timezone never matched, and the half-finished store is still sitting there.
Quoted 70,000 for a website
An agency came back with AED 60,000 to 80,000, custom animations and a four-month build. You just wanted to sell your products online.
The store you have is slow
It was built on WooCommerce and customised until nothing works with anything else. Pages take forever to load and customers leave before they reach checkout.
You cannot change it yourself
Adding a product or swapping a banner means emailing a developer and waiting for a reply. You are locked out of your own store.
Why custom is the expensive way to get the same thing
Every website is a template underneath
A custom build starts from a theme too. What you pay extra for is the developer time spent rebuilding what the theme already did.
Custom takes months, and it changes twice
The longer a build runs, the more it changes and the more it costs. A configured store is already selling while the custom one is still in Figma.
You stay free to move
A standard Shopify theme means any developer can pick it up later. Over-customised builds lock you to the one person who made them.
What changes with co.gent
01
Your store loads fast and sells on a phone
Built on a theme that is already fast, then arranged around your products. Customers reach checkout instead of giving up halfway down a slow page.
02
You upload products yourself, in minutes
A standard Shopify back office, not a maze someone custom-built. Add a product, change a price, run a sale, without emailing anyone.
03
Someone answers when something breaks
A maintenance contract from AED 1,500 a month covers new products, new banners and anything that stops working. One team you can actually reach.
Same store. Half the time. A third of the price.
A custom build and a configured build both start from a theme. The difference is four months of developer time and the invoice that comes with it. We start from a theme that already works, then customise it around your products, your brand and your customers. Same result, live in weeks, from AED 15,000.
See the stores we builtThe three ways to get an online store
A freelancer
Cheap upfront, gone at handover
- AED 3,000 to 10,000 upfront
- Overbooked, replies get slower
- Nothing once it is handed over
- Nobody to call when checkout breaks
A big agency
Builds what you did not ask for
- AED 60,000 to 80,000
- Four months from brief to live
- Custom work you did not ask for
- Locked to whoever built it

Who you are working with
Most people asking us for a store have been let down once already. Either the freelancer disappeared halfway, or an agency quoted a number that made no sense for what they actually needed.
We are a small team that has been building and running online stores together for over eight years, from Beirut, Dubai and Valence. We build the store, load your products, and keep it running every month. We do not build custom-coded stores for businesses that just need to sell, because you would be paying for months of work a good theme already does.

- Arabic and English stores

Common questions
Do you only build for certain kinds of products?
Businesses selling physical products online. Perfume, oud, clothing, jewelry, handmade pieces, food and drink and skincare are what we handle most. If you sell something unusual, ask us and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
What makes this different from the cheaper quote I already have?
A freelancer disappears at handover. You get a finished store at a fixed price, plus a maintenance contract from AED 1,500 a month, so someone is still there in month six.
What exactly do I need to give you?
Your logo, fonts and colours, your product photos and your price list. If something is missing we tell you before we start.
How long until the store is live?
Four to six weeks, depending on how many products need loading. You approve it before it opens for orders.
I already have a website. Can you fix it instead?
Sometimes. A standard theme is usually cheaper to fix. One that has been customised until nothing works together is faster to rebuild. We tell you which one you have.
Who actually builds it?
Our own team, the same developers who look after our client stores every month. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor you never meet.
What does it cost in total?
From AED 15,000 all inclusive, and most land between AED 15,000 and 25,000 depending on catalogue size. Maintenance is optional, from AED 1,500 a month. A fully custom design starts around AED 40,000, and we will tell you if you do not need it.
What happens after I send the form?
We come back within one working day with a fixed price and a build date. If it is not a fit we say so.
