Arabic visitors should never feel they got the translated version
We design Arabic and English, plus any other languages you need, as equal versions of one website, each with its own typography, reading direction and search strategy.
Part of Design and digital experienceWhat we do
Right-to-left layout
Mirrored grids, navigation, sliders and forms, built with logical CSS so both directions come from one codebase.
Arabic typography
Typefaces chosen for Arabic and Latin together, with line height, sizes and weights set so both scripts read comfortably.
Content structure per language
Content order and emphasis adjusted where audiences differ, instead of copying one page layout word for word.
Translation workflow
A CMS setup, for example WPML or Polylang for WordPress, where each language has its own editors, drafts and approvals.
Multilingual SEO
Hreflang tags, language-specific URLs, translated metadata and keyword research done separately for each language.
Numbers, dates and forms
Western and Arabic-Indic numerals, Hijri and Gregorian dates where needed, local phone formats and form validation in both directions.
When clients call us about this
The Arabic pages look broken
Icons point the wrong way, text overlaps, and punctuation lands at the wrong end of the line.
One language is always months behind
New pages appear in English first and the other version never catches up.
Arabic search traffic is close to zero
The Arabic pages exist but were never set up or written for how people search in Arabic.
Questions we are often asked
Do you translate the content?
We work with professional translators and writers, and we prefer adaptation over literal translation. If you have your own translators, we set up the workflow around them.
Can we add more languages later?
Yes. We structure the website so another language, such as French or Urdu, can be added without a rebuild.
Should Arabic be the default language?
It depends on who your main audience is and how they search. We look at your traffic and customers, then recommend a default language and URL structure.
Will the Arabic version load as fast as the English one?
It should. Heavy font files are a common reason Arabic pages load slowly, so we subset and preload Arabic web fonts and test both versions on mobile networks.
