UI/UX Design in Saudi Arabia
UI/UX design is the discipline of making a digital product understandable and efficient for the people who use it. UX is the structure — what exists, in what order, with what feedback. UI is the surface — type, colour, spacing, state. For bilingual Saudi products the two are inseparable, because reading direction changes where a user expects the primary action, how a form scans, and which way progress runs. We test with real users in both languages before committing to a build.
| Typical timeline | 4–8 weeks |
|---|---|
| Testing | 5–8 participants per round, per language |
| Accessibility | WCAG 2.2 AA decided at design stage |
| Output | Figma library, tokens, annotated specs |
01Outcomes
What actually changes
-
01
Fewer support tickets and abandoned flows, because the design was tested against real tasks rather than reviewed in a slide deck.
-
02
A component library the engineering team can build from directly, with states and edge cases already specified.
-
03
Accessibility designed in — focus order, target size and contrast decided at design time, not retrofitted.
02What you get

04How we work
How we deliver this
01
Research
Interviews, analytics, support-ticket review and a heuristic audit of the current experience.
02
Define
Task flows, content requirements and success measures agreed before any interface is drawn.
03
Prototype
Interactive prototypes in both languages, at the fidelity needed to test the risky decisions.
04
Test
Moderated sessions with representative users; findings ranked by severity and effort.
05
Specify
Component library, tokens and annotations handed to engineering.

06Questions we are asked
Questions clients ask
01What actually changes when a design is right-to-left?
More than mirroring. The primary action moves to the left of a button pair, progress indicators run right to left, icons with direction have to flip while logos and media controls must not, and numerals stay left-to-right inside right-to-left sentences. Arabic also sets denser, so line height and measure need adjusting rather than inheriting.
02How many users do you need to test with?
Five to eight per user type per language surfaces the large majority of severe usability problems. Beyond that the same findings repeat. We would rather run three small rounds across a project than one large round at the end.
