About Element 8

Enterprise websites for Gulf corporates

Dubai's Element 8 designs and builds websites and digital platforms for large corporate and consumer clients across the Gulf. It describes its work as enterprise-scale, meaning platforms that have to handle heavy traffic, complex product catalogues and large volumes of structured content. The agency has operated since 2010 and says it has completed more than 900 projects, with a team of about 85 in-house specialists.

It presents a website as a business-critical asset rather than a design exercise. Before any visual work starts, the agency sets the objectives the site must meet, chooses infrastructure that will scale, and builds to security standards that protect both the brand and its users.

Design, build and market under one roof

The agency organises its work into three areas, which its site names design and experience, build and transform, and market and grow. Design covers strategic UX, mobile-first design and bilingual experience design. Build covers headless content management, Next.js front ends and secure interfaces. Marketing covers technical search work, performance campaigns and content.

Platforms and technical approach

Technically, the agency works with headless content management, Next.js, WordPress VIP and secure application programming interfaces, and it runs projects on AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure. It is a certified Sitecore partner, and it says it integrates user experience, engineering and performance thinking from the first day of a project. Conversion-led design and intelligent personalisation are part of the brief for most platforms it delivers.

E-commerce, mobile and business systems

E-commerce is a major part of the work, with online stores built on Magento and connected to payment gateways. The agency also builds mobile apps and web applications, and it develops internal business systems such as SharePoint solutions, HR and payroll software, retail point-of-sale systems and food and beverage systems.

Bilingual sites and regional reach

Many of its sites run in Arabic and English, and the agency says its bilingual experience design is built into the platform rather than translated afterwards. Its clients include Hisense, Garmin, CMU and American Garden. Its portfolio includes a bilingual platform for a university in Qatar with more than 200 pages of structured content, and a scalable ecommerce platform for Garmin built for campaigns with high traffic.

Search, performance and creative services

Technical search work, paid campaigns, social media and content are all offered as marketing services, and the agency says that a website nobody finds is a missed asset. Creative services include strategy, brand work, content writing, photography and user experience design. The agency's own material reports growth figures from several client projects, including organic visibility and campaign revenue, and these are presented as its results rather than promises.
