# Understanding Professional Website Design Cost in KSA > 자유게시판

* Select fonts purposely developed for Arabic on-screen viewing (like Boutros) rather than classic print fonts
* Increase line leading by 150-175% for better readability
* Implement right-justified text (never center-aligned for main content)
* Prevent narrow Arabic typefaces that reduce the unique letter structures

Someone I know who runs a eatery in Riyadh at first hesitated at the additional 12,000 SAR for an booking system, but afterward mentioned me it recovered its cost within 90 days by cutting personnel resources spent on phone reservations.

Recently, a business owner asked me why his blog posts weren't generating any inquiries. After analyzing his content marketing strategy, I discovered he was making the same mistakes I see many Saudi businesses repeat.

In a business gathering in Riyadh, I questioned 17 business owners about their website development experiences. The cost variation was remarkable – from 2,500 SAR for a minimalist site to over 150,000 SAR for advanced e-commerce platforms.

In my previous project for a investment company SEO services in Jeddah Riyadh, we discovered that users were frequently selecting the wrong navigation elements. Our eye-tracking showed that their eyes naturally progressed from right to left, but the main navigation components were located with a left-to-right importance.

Not long ago, my colleague Hessa received quotes spanning 22,000 to 58,000 SAR for basically the same business website. The difference? The pricier quotes contained bespoke design components rather than themed solutions.

Using extensive testing for a retail brand, we identified that emails sent between night time significantly exceeded those sent during traditional business hours, generating one hundred eighty-seven percent greater visibility.

My relative Ahmad at first chose the least expensive quote for his corporate website, only to realize later that it omitted content development – resulting in an unforeseen 8,000 SAR charge for expert copywriting.

I still think about the shock on my brother-in-law's face when he received a quote for seventy-five thousand SAR for his company website. "It's just a website!" he shouted. Not long after, he ultimately with a inexpensive 3,000 SAR site that looked terrible and couldn't convert a single lead.

Using detailed analysis for a clothing brand, we discovered that emails sent between 9-11 PM significantly exceeded those sent during traditional business hours, producing substantially greater readership.

As opposed to concentrating only on finding the most affordable quote, think about the possible results that a professional website will produce for your business. A professionally created site is an advantage that will persist in delivering value for years to come.

I visited a web design studio in Jeddah last month where they displayed me the difference between their template-based and bespoke projects. The visual impact was instantly apparent – the custom sites looked unmistakably more polished and impactful.

* Redesigned the application process to follow right-to-left user expectations
* Developed a dual-language input mechanism with automatic language toggling
* Improved mobile interactions for right-handed Arabic input

* Clearly mark which language should be used in each entry box
* Automatically switch keyboard layout based on field requirements
* Place form text to the right-hand side of their connected inputs
* Confirm that error notifications appear in the same language as the intended input

A few months ago, a merchant mentioned that their email marketing initiatives were generating disappointing results with open rates below 8%. After implementing the techniques I'm about to reveal, their readership increased to 37% and conversion rose by two hundred eighteen percent.

* Repositioning call-to-action buttons to the right side of forms and interfaces
* Rethinking visual importance to move from right to left
* Adjusting interactive elements to align with the right-to-left scanning pattern

As someone who has developed over 30 Arabic websites in the recent years, I can confirm that applying Western Middle East UX Best Practices standards to Arabic interfaces fails miserably. The special features of Arabic text and Saudi user expectations require a specialized approach.

* Locate the most important content in the upper-right area of the page
* Structure content blocks to flow from right to left and top to bottom
* Use heavier visual emphasis on the right side of balanced compositions
* Verify that indicating icons (such as arrows) point in the appropriate direction for RTL interfaces

If you're developing or improving a website for the Saudi market, I urge working with professionals who genuinely comprehend the nuances of Arabic user experience rather than merely converting Western interfaces.

* Shifted product visuals to the left portion, with product details and buy buttons on the right
* Changed the product gallery to advance from right to left
* Implemented a custom Arabic text style that preserved clarity at various sizes
