Yalla Launch / Arabic website design
Arabic website design, built right to left from the start.
A bilingual website is not an English site with a translate button. We design the Arabic and English versions together, so both read naturally, look premium, and rank in Google for the language your customers search in.
Nearly half of UAE searches for local services are in Arabic. If your site only speaks English, those buyers never see you. If your Arabic is a bolted-on translation, they see you and leave.
What a proper Arabic website includes.
Designed in both languages at the same time, not one after the other.
Right-to-left layouts that actually mirror
Navigation, icons, forms, galleries and buttons all flip correctly. Not just the text direction.
Arabic typography chosen for screens
Fonts selected for readability on a phone, with correct line heights and sizes, rather than a default that looks thin and cramped.
Content written for Arabic readers
Arabic copy is written or reviewed by a native speaker, in the register your market expects: formal for corporate and government buyers, warmer for consumers.
Arabic first or English first, your choice
Some businesses lead with Arabic, some with English. We set the default language per market and let the visitor switch in one tap.
Built to rank in Arabic search
Separate pages for each language, with the right language tags, so Google shows the Arabic page to Arabic searchers. Not one page with a switcher that Google cannot index.
Consistent brand in both languages
Logos, colours and layout stay identical, so the Arabic and English sites feel like one company, not two.
Real estate, Oman
Selling a place before it exists.
A mixed-use development in Muscat, sold off-plan. Working from the developer's renders and brand, we built a launch site with the project by day and at dusk, floor plans, location and a register-interest form. Arabic leads, English follows.

Why most bilingual websites in the UAE fail.
The usual process is to design an English site, launch it, then add Arabic as a translation. The result has English-shaped layouts with Arabic text squeezed in, buttons that do not mirror, fonts that were never chosen for Arabic, and a single URL that Google cannot index in two languages.
We work the other way. The design is done for both languages at the same time, every component is tested in both directions, and each language gets its own set of pages with proper tags. It takes a little more care up front and it is the difference between a site that Arabic-speaking buyers trust and one they close.
- Real estate developers selling to Gulf and expatriate buyers
- Trading, industrial and construction companies dealing with government and corporate procurement
- Clinics, schools, law firms and consultancies serving Arabic-speaking clients

Arabic website design, your questions.
Do you write the Arabic content or do I provide it?
Either. If you provide it, we review it for the web. If you need it written, we work with native Arabic writers who understand your industry and the UAE market.
Can my site be Arabic only?
Yes. Many businesses serving a local or Gulf-wide Arabic-speaking market choose Arabic only, with an English contact page. We design for whichever mix fits your customers.
Does an Arabic version help with Google?
Yes, when it is built as separate indexed pages with the correct language tags. Arabic search in the UAE has far less competition than English search for most business terms, which is an opportunity most of your competitors are missing.
Will the Arabic site look the same as the English one?
It will look like the same brand, mirrored for right-to-left reading. Layout, colours and imagery match; direction, typography and text are adapted.
Can you add Arabic to my existing English website?
Yes, though it usually involves adjusting the layout so it mirrors properly rather than simply translating the text. We will tell you honestly what the existing site can and cannot support.
How much more does a bilingual site cost?
Less than you would expect, because we design both languages together rather than doing the work twice. The difference is mostly the Arabic content itself. You get an exact fixed price after the free homepage preview.
See your site in both languages before you decide.
Tell us about your business and who your customers are. We design your homepage in Arabic and English and show it to you before any commitment.
