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

One of the highest small-retail and family-business densities in the Eastern Province, spread across many small towns rather than one centre — local SEO must be built per-town (Tarout, Saihat, Safwa, Anak), not per-city
Distinctive food-and-craft economy (seafood, dates, sweets, gold) that suits marketplace, delivery and social-commerce builds
Strong local-identity consumer culture; generic national campaign creative underperforms against locally rooted work
Healthcare and private-clinic cluster serving the northern Eastern Province is a competitive paid-search vertical

Districts and landmarks

Tarout Island and Tarout Castle
Qatif Fish Market
Al-Qudaih, Al-Awamiyah and Al-Qala'a old quarters
