How long does a bilingual website take?

A corporate bilingual site is typically six to ten weeks from kickoff to launch. Roughly a third of that is content: Arabic copy written natively rather than translated is the single most common cause of a slipped launch date, so we agree the content plan in week one.

Do you design in Arabic or translate afterwards?

We design both directions at once. Arabic sets denser than Latin, needs more line height, and cannot be letter-spaced without breaking glyph joining. Layouts built with CSS logical properties mirror correctly with no separate stylesheet, which is why we build them that way from the first component.

Can you keep our existing URLs?

Yes, and it is usually the right call. Rankings attach to URLs. We map every existing address to a new template rather than renaming anything, so no redirects are needed and no equity is lost. Where a redirect is genuinely unavoidable we issue a single permanent 301 with no chaining.

03Local context

What is different about this market

How buyers here procure

B2B-dominant market: buyers are procurement and engineering managers at Aramco vendors, EPC contractors and industrial suppliers — sites function as pre-qualification documents (certifications, HSE record, Saudi content/IKTVA scores)
Long, spec-driven sales cycles; downloadable technical datasheets and Arabic/English dual specs outperform conventional lead-gen funnels
Strong local family industrial groups (Zamil, Al-Suwaiket, Al-Turki and similar) with multi-subsidiary structures needing group-and-child site architecture

Districts and landmarks

Dammam Corniche
Al-Shatea and Al-Faisaliah districts
King Fahd Park
Asharqia Chamber (regional chamber of commerce)

Vision 2030 here

Ras Al-Khair SEZ — integrated marine ecosystem, shipbuilding, rig repair; ~40% committed to investors at launch
Eastern Province logistics and industrial diversification under the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program
