Composable, headless-first architectures engineered for global scale. Our default engine is Payload — a self-hosted, open-source CMS that keeps your data and infrastructure fully under your control, not spread across a shared third-party SaaS platform. We design edge-ready platforms that deliver sub-second experiences across every region — with contractual PageSpeed guarantees baked into every engagement.
Architecture Spec
Every layout, interaction, and content block is engineered against a measurable conversion hypothesis. We instrument, test, and iterate — turning traffic into pipeline with surgical precision.
Conversion Spec
Motion, 3D, and interactive storytelling that scale to your project's ambition and budget — engineered for performance. We build experiences that captivate without compromising Core Web Vitals or accessibility.
Experience Spec
Your platform is only as strong as the systems it connects. We integrate your martech, CRM, commerce, and data stack into a single, coherent operational backbone.

About FATHOM
We are a senior-only European studio entering the UAE market, with 7+ years of hands-on engineering experience per team member. We have shipped platforms across e-commerce, retail, hospitality, and healthcare in Europe, and we bring that same rigor, compliance, and craft to the Gulf region.
Ongoing Support
Optional monthly retainers to keep your platform secure, fast, and up to date after we hand it off. These are discussed and added when you book your call — they are not included in the one-time build estimate above.
AED 350 /month
AED 750 /month
AED 2,900 /month
AED 4,500 /month
No plan? One-off work is billed at AED 450/hour (senior engineer, 1-hour minimum) — the plans exist because reserved hours and proactive monitoring come out cheaper than emergencies.
FAQ
Yes. Full RTL/Arabic engineering is included in every package — no hidden add-on costs. We design for Arabic from the first wireframe.
Our Growth track for local and growing businesses starts at AED 8,000 for a simple brochure site, and typically AED 14,000+ for a custom platform with a CMS, gallery, or multilingual content. Enterprise engagements start at AED 35,000 for focused optimization sprints — full platform builds are scoped and quoted individually.
Yes — our Growth track is built for clinics, boutiques, and local businesses that need a fully custom, Arabic/RTL-ready site without enterprise-scale infrastructure. Engagements start at AED 8,000 for a simple site and scale up with CMS, galleries, or integrations — typically delivered in 2–5 weeks.
We align with SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and UAE PDPL as standard. Security-conscious development and testing is part of every build before launch, not an afterthought.
Payload is open-source and self-hosted — your content and data live in infrastructure dedicated to you, not a third-party multi-tenant SaaS platform shared with thousands of other tenants. That gives you direct control over data residency (relevant for UAE PDPL compliance), no vendor lock-in, and a smaller, dedicated attack surface instead of a public-facing SaaS admin panel.
Not unless you want them to. We operate as a discreet, white-label studio by default — your brand, your team, your credit. NDAs are standard on every engagement, which is also why our public case studies are anonymized. If you need verifiable references, we can share them privately during a scoping call.
Absolutely. We integrate with your CRM, commerce, ERP, and data stack — or help you migrate to a composable architecture.
Most UAE enterprise buyers already work with European vendors for finance, legal, and consulting — we bring that same standard to digital delivery. You get senior European engineering rigor (7+ years of hands-on experience per engineer) and compliance discipline, with working hours overlapping the GCC day and no junior hand-offs.
Yes. We invoice in AED, and are set up to work with both mainland and free zone entities (DIFC, ADGM, DMCC and others) — including their specific compliance and data residency requirements.
Basic technical SEO (sitemap, meta tags, structured data) is included in every build. A deeper SEO Foundation Package — keyword strategy, technical audit, content structure — is available as an add-on in the estimator. After launch, ongoing support is optional: Care Plans start at AED 350/month for hosting, monitoring, and security patches, with development hours included from AED 750/month. Nothing ongoing is charged unless you choose to add it.
