About Standish Services
A Dubai-based web design and development studio delivering reliable, high-performance websites for businesses across the UAE.
A Practical, Results-Focused Approach
Standish Services provides high quality website design, development, and maintenance services to businesses across the UAE, with a strong focus on supporting British expats and international companies operating in the region.
The goal has always been simple. Deliver the same level of quality and reliability offered by large agencies, without the inflated pricing or unnecessary complexity that often comes with them.
We focus on building websites that are clean, fast, dependable, and designed to support real business growth.
Founder-Led and Hands-On
Standish Services was founded by Brad Standish in 2017 after seeing how inconsistent the web design market had become. Many businesses were paying high prices for work that was either over-engineered or poorly built.
Rather than outsourcing development work to unknown teams, every project is handled directly. This ensures consistent quality, clear communication, and long-term maintainability.
The focus is not just on launching a website, but on building something that continues to perform reliably months and years after launch.
Built by a Problem Solver
Brad approaches projects as a technical problem solver first. The priority is always clean builds, stability, and reliability rather than quick template-driven solutions.
A common issue in the industry is the overuse of rigid templates that limit flexibility and create problems later when a business needs to grow or adapt. Standish Services takes a different approach, building sites that remain flexible and scalable over time.
Many clients come after working with freelancers or low-cost providers who left them with incomplete, unstable, or poorly structured websites. A large part of the work involves repairing, rebuilding, or stabilising existing platforms so the business can move forward with confidence.
Experience Across 200+ Projects
Over the years, Standish Services has worked on more than 200 websites and digital projects for startups, side businesses, SMEs, and established organisations.
Projects range from corporate websites and marketing platforms through to complex bespoke systems. One example includes building a fully customised class scheduling and booking platform for Italia Conti Dubai, designed around their specific operational requirements.
This mix of design, development, and technical problem-solving experience allows projects to be approached with a practical, real-world perspective.
Who We Work With
Standish Services typically partners with companies and individuals of all sizes, such as:
- Startups launching new ideas
- Growing businesses that need a more professional online presence
- Companies rebuilding or upgrading outdated websites
- Organisations looking for a reliable long-term technical partner
- Multi-national companies that need to re-establish a global brand
Most projects are managed remotely across Dubai and the wider UAE, with structured updates and clear timelines.
A Human Approach
Outside of work, Brad is self-taught on guitar and values building things from the ground up, whether that is a technical system or a long-term business relationship. He married in 2018 and became a father at the end of 2024, which has further strengthened the focus on reliability, long-term thinking, and delivering work that clients can depend on.
