We’re Kenobiz Sites — a French-led boutique web agency in Dubai
A small senior team building modern websites for ambitious UAE businesses. No outsourcing, no juniors learning on your dime — just direct work from the founder and his close collaborators.
Origin
Kenobiz Sites was founded by Cyrille Benac. After 28 years building IT systems and websites in Europe, he moved the company to Dubai to focus on one specific gap: modern, fast, conversion-focused websites for UAE businesses that have been let down by templated builds and offshore freelancers.
Mission
Bring European web standards — the design, the performance, the engineering rigour — to Dubai SMEs that deserve better than another WordPress theme. Our work is benchmarked against what you would expect from a top agency in London, Paris, or Berlin, but delivered locally, in your time zone, with bilingual EN / FR support.
Approach
We operate as your fractional CTO, not as a vendor. That means we are involved in scope decisions, we explain trade-offs in plain language, and we will tell you when a feature you asked for is a bad idea. The outcome is a website that performs, not a checkbox that everyone signed.
Founder
The senior decision-maker on every project.

What we value
Four principles that decide what we build, who we work with, and how we behave when things get tough.
Every page ships with a Lighthouse audit
Not "quality" as a slogan: each page passes accessibility, Core Web Vitals and SEO checks before launch, and we share the scores. If a page regresses after launch, fixing it is on us, not on a change request.
Public AED pricing, weekly staging demos
Our full price list is published — rare enough in Dubai to be a differentiator. You watch the build progress every week on a private staging URL; scope changes are discussed before they are billed, never after.
Built to be left
You always own your code, content and data — open standards (Next.js, Markdown), portable anywhere, zero lock-in. We earn renewals with the work, which is why our model favours a few long-term clients over many one-offs.
We say no
When a requested feature would hurt conversions, rankings or maintainability, we say so before building it — with the reasoning in plain language. You hire 28 years of judgement, not order-taking.
