A brand, a website and a campaign should support each other. We put the designers, developers and media buyers on one project, with one brief and one person answerable for the numbers, so decisions don’t get lost between teams.
We test before launch and keep checking after it. Pages, forms and tracking are tested on real phones and slow mobile data. Once the site is live, we review the numbers with you and fix what holds the enquiries back.
Short timelines, in writing
Landing pages in 5 to 7 days, stores in 2 to 4 weeks, a first app release in 3 to 6 weeks. Testing and tracking are part of every timeline.
Numbers you can check
Every website, store and campaign ships with analytics and a one-page report: visits, leads, cost per lead and sales. The logins stay with you, so you can check every number yourself.
A fixed price, in writing
A written proposal within 12 hours of the consultation, split into milestones. The price is fixed for the agreed scope, and any extra work is quoted before it starts.
Everything in your name
Domain, hosting and ad accounts are opened in your name on day one. The code and designs become yours once the project is paid, with full access to every account and file.
Built around your business. Owned by it.
For a product that is still being tested, a ready-made platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce is the quicker start, and we build on both. Once the business is selling and growing, we recommend custom code: the system follows your sales process, pricing and operations, the code and data are registered to you, and the cost doesn’t rise with every sale or new user. We explain the trade-offs before you choose. Dark Media’s own system is built this way, and so are many of our clients’ systems.
Platform or custom store: how to chooseOn a ready-made platform
- Quick to launch, with hosting and updates handled by the platform.
- Monthly fees and paid apps that grow with the store.
- Features and rules set by the platform.
- Your workflow adjusted to fit its templates.
On your own custom system
- A build cost per milestone, then hosting and the support you choose.
- You decide what gets built next.
- Workflows built around how your company operates.
- Code, data and accounts registered in your name.
One service, or one team for the whole project.

Everything is connected.
Ads, website, store, customer records, invoices, stock and shipping, connected so an order moves through all of them without anyone copying data by hand. Follow one order to see how.
- 01A customer sees your ad on Instagram.
- 02They land on your website and order from the store.
- 03The CRM saves the customer and tags the campaign that brought them.
- 04The ERP issues the invoice and books the revenue.
- 05Stock drops in the inventory system and the warehouse gets a pick list.
- 06Shipping is booked and the customer gets a WhatsApp update.
- 07Sales flow back to the ad platforms, so the next campaign learns from real buyers.
Now you can see them.

In their words.
We expected a 2 to 2.5x return from our campaign. Dark Media delivered 9x ROAS, numbers we genuinely did not think were possible.
They rebuilt our web platform to integrate with our ERP system. Extremely professional, and delivered faster than expected.
Dealing with them is nothing but professional: respectful, honest, and always raising the bar.
One of the best teams I have worked with, in marketing, development and business management alike.
The fastest and best team to build a complete web application. Outstanding quality, and we are truly grateful for the effort.

What people ask before they hire us.
What does Dark Media do?
Dark Media is a creative agency in Cairo, Egypt, founded in 2017. We design and build websites, online stores, web and mobile apps and brand identities, and we run paid campaigns on Meta, Google and TikTok, plus SEO. The same team works on the brand, the build and the campaigns, so nothing gets lost between them.
Where are your offices?
We have three branches in Cairo: Abbas El-Akkad Street in Nasr City, 29 El-Zeiny Street in Hadayek El-Kobba, and Emarat Qureish in Nasr City. Each branch page shows its address, map and opening hours, and customer service answers on phone and WhatsApp 24 hours a day, every day. We also work remotely with clients across Egypt, the Gulf, Europe and North America.
How much does a website cost?
Landing pages start from $299, company websites from $499, online stores from $799 and custom web apps from $899. After a free 30-minute consultation we send a written proposal with a fixed price within 12 hours.
How long does a project take?
A landing page takes 5 to 7 days, a brand identity 2 to 3 weeks, a company website 2 to 4 weeks, an online store 2 to 4 weeks, and a web app 4 to 10 weeks. You get the timeline in writing before we start.
Do I own the website, code and accounts?
Yes. The domain, hosting and ad accounts are opened in your name from the start, and the code, designs and data are yours once the project is paid in full, as our terms say. We never withhold access.
Do you work with clients outside Egypt?
Yes. We work with clients in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Europe and North America. We communicate in Arabic or English, meet over video calls and accept international payments.
