Arabic web design & development
Since 2002
300+ clients
Arabic website design and development built on more than two decades of hands-on experience, in-house Arabic staff and clients including The British Museum. Designed for a different culture, not just a different language.
Design
Designing an Arabic website is not a design featuring a complex language; it is a design aimed at a distinct culture. Arabic text, font differences and the right-to-left flow of content are engineered into the design from the start.
Imagery, copywriting and the overall look and feel are chosen for an Arab audience. Certain imagery has cultural implications businesses will want to avoid, and calls to action need careful, appropriate use.
Development
Not all web platforms handle Arabic well, and many need modifications and extra modules. We select the right platform for your site, then give special consideration to wireframes, layouts, menus, navigation, speed and responsiveness.
Smartphone use is heavy across Arabic-speaking markets, so builds are mobile-first and technically built for performance.
Clients
Our Arabic web development clients include The British Museum, global law firm Duane Morris and international language school Concorde International. Doctoori, an Arabic healthcare provider, launched and grew working with us on both the website and its marketing.
We have also built an Arabic website for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction and an English and Arabic property investment site.
Online stores
We build Arabic versions of online shops so you can promote and sell to Arabic-speaking customers, with checkout, payment and product content adapted for the market. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Kuwait are common targets for the retailers we speak to.
ExtraDigital web design and development projects start from £5,000.
