How do you handle Arabic website design — is it just translated from English?
Native Arabic website design and translation are different things. Translation takes English copy and converts it into Arabic text, which is then placed into a layout designed for left-to-right reading. The result is visually and linguistically wrong to Arabic readers: the layout direction may be corrected but the hierarchy, typography weight, and copy structure still reflect English conventions. We design the Arabic version of the site independently — RTL CSS built from the ground up, Arabic typeface selected and sized for Arabic reading patterns (which are distinct from English), and content hierarchy designed for the Arabic reader's eye movement and decision-making conventions. English and Arabic share a codebase but are designed as separate layout exercises. A Qatari Arabic reader and an English-speaking international reader both get a site that reads as if it was made for them.
What industries do you work with in Qatar?
Real estate, construction and contracting, hospitality and F&B, professional services, and infrastructure are our primary verticals in Qatar. Each has specific conversion architecture requirements: a real estate developer needs per-project enquiry flows; a construction company needs a tender submission mechanism and a project credential presentation; a hospitality business needs per-venue booking conversion. We understand these sector-specific patterns and build them into the conversion architecture rather than applying a generic template.
How long does a bilingual website build take?
A full bilingual Arabic/English revenue website build takes 10–14 weeks from architecture review to launch. An English-only build for a Qatar business is typically 8–12 weeks. Landing pages in both languages are 4–5 weeks. Rush timelines compromise Arabic design quality — a native Arabic layout built under time pressure typically becomes a translated English layout with RTL text, which is the problem most clients are trying to move away from.
What platforms do you build bilingual sites on?
WordPress with WPML (for businesses with frequent content updates and Doha-based content teams), Webflow with Weglot (for visual CMS preference), or headless Next.js (for enterprise-scale or real estate platforms with property search functionality). CDN is configured for GCC edge nodes regardless of platform.
What's the difference between a revenue website and a regular website?
A revenue website has a defined conversion goal for every page — a property enquiry, a tender submission, a consultation booking — and is built to convert a specific visitor type at a specific stage of their decision process. A regular website presents company information and provides contact details. In Qatar's market, the distinction matters because buyers research digitally before making contact, and their first impression of your website directly influences whether they reach out. A revenue website is built to convert that impression into an action.
How do you measure whether the website is working?
GA4 is configured with language segmentation and conversion tracking before launch. Lead volume and conversion rate are tracked separately for Arabic and English visitors. Heatmaps run on both versions. Monthly reports show conversion rate by language, by page, and by source. You can see at any point whether your Arabic website is generating Arabic-language leads and whether your English website is generating international enquiries.
Do you work with businesses in the wider GCC — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain?
Yes. Our bilingual Arabic/English website work is relevant across the GCC. The core technical requirements — native RTL CSS, Arabic typeface performance, GCC CDN configuration, Arabic SEO structure — are consistent across GCC markets. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain engagements follow the same bilingual architecture process as Qatar.
Do you do design-only projects (Figma handoff)?
Yes. We deliver complete bilingual Figma files — both Arabic and English layouts, design system, all screens — with annotated specs, RTL implementation notes (stylesheet architecture, font loading strategy), and Arabic-specific developer guidance. If you have a development team in Doha or elsewhere in the GCC, a bilingual Figma handoff is available as a standalone engagement.
