DoinDubai is getting a brandย NEW LOOK shortly
and we want our SUBSCRIBERSย input in return for a big prize!
You might find the sight in ‘maintenance mode’ when you happen to search for something. ย But you’ll probably be asleep while we’re maintaining and redesigning as Tech Support for DoinDubai happens in London which is now 4 hours behind the UAE.
The New Look initially will have some elements of the current design missing, whether those bits return will be determined by a number of factors including whether you our SUBSCRIBERS miss them or even notice the difference! There are many issues we want to address butย one really important aspect we need your input on is:ย the mobile presentation of the new look site.
How our SUBSCRIBERS can help with our New Look
We would like you to tell us in a comment at the end of this post about what you would like to see in the in the New Look DoinDubai. ย We’ll try our best to incorporate your feedback. Then come back and tell usย what you think about the changes, what you miss, and what you would like to see on the site as it becomes live. We want to hear about your experiences in navigating the New Look, whether links aren’t working and whether what you are searching for doesn’t appear to be provided by the site. But we don’t expect you to do this for nothing!
How we are going to REWARD our SUBSCRIBERS
We are going to reward theย SUBSCRIBER who is
- the most helpfulย with their comments
- theย most creative with their suggestions
- or simply the most supportive of our efforts to provide a site about what you can Do inย Dubai
- or interacts regularly with our social media channels
with a BIG prize!
There are no wrong answers here, only helpful ones especially connected to mobile presentation.
The REWARD is a brand new Multi Cooker from Recke!
This Recke Multi Cooker is aย BIG gift so we want some great ideas and input please. ย The FREE gift will be determined by your inputย and awarded when the new look DoinDubai site has been officially completed, this may take a few weeks. But we’ll keep you informed.
My independent technical support in the UK will determine who the winning SUBSCRIBER will be!
Please start commenting NOW at the end of this post and don’t forget to come back to it to comment on the changes. ย We will alert you as soon as the New Look move starts.
The winner will need to be able to collect theย Multi Cooker from a central location in Dubai. So if you’d like one for free, then watch the site, and send in your comments on anything connected to how the website looks and works for you!

Hi Prasanna,
good idea, I guess we can invite users to submit recipes to the blog via a given format and then we can add a page for members recipes. What sort of criteria could we ask for the recipes? Asian veg, Asian Non Veg, Desserts, Paleo, and Gluten Free type of thing? Let me know, warmest regards and good luck for the competition!
Regards Monica
Hi Uteeksha,
thanks so much for the comment, noted, we do have video tutorials of the newer recipes and will always add a video to recipes in future,

I been visiting this website regularly and my suggestion would be if you add video tutorial of making recipes it would be great and it will make easy understanding.
Good Luck for the future and for your new website and wish to win along with doindubai.
It will be create if you create username and password for members to post recipes and any updates on travel from members side.It will create to flow more ideas into the website

Hi Neeta, it’s still up for grabs as we delayed the new look site till the New Year, going to call a winner in the next couple of weeks! Thanks for being patient, warmest regards
Monica.
Who won this???
Hi Neeta,
thanks so much for subscribing to the website, and for the very helpful comments, great idea about the members recipes as well! We’ll try and address all these issues, all the best and warmest regards
Monica
Hello Monica,
Hope is well. Firstly, I have subscribed to your blog. Secondly, I have gone through your website and I felt that there should be sub categories of the Recipes, like desserts, drinks & beverages, so it will be easier for everyone to search in the Recipe tab.
Also, If there can be a column of Member’s recipes, it will also be good, Anyone can share their recipes.
Apart from this, we can share some recipes through videos also. ๐ I loved your website whole heartedly. ๐
Good Luck for the future and for your new website.
Cheers!!!!
Thanks for the commment Sharneen, very good point re printing out the recipes, we are experimenting with this and you’ll hopefully have this option in the new look site! All the best with the competition! Warmest regards Monica
Hi Monica,
Good luck with the planning of the new website. As you post many delicious recipes it might be a good idea to
have the easy print option which only prints what you need to know without pics etc, to save paper, ink …
I know a lot of the cooking websites have this option – just an idea !!
Hi Bansi,
thanks very much for your comment, very helpful and noted, we’ll look into the issue with the recipes on P3 and get back to you, hopefully all should be resolved in the new look! Keep Checking and thanks again!
Monica
Hi Monica,
Excited to see the New look DoinDubai!
Currently I tried to search for a few things and whereas restaurants is an easy one and came up with the right options, when I typed Recipes, it gave me a couple on page 1 and when clicked page 3 it came up with unrelated items. Perhaps this is something to be refined?
I love the pics with titles underneath, remote the readers to click on them.
Hope this is helpful.
