Arabic website development

Arabic and bilingual website development

Arabic is not a translated afterthought. It needs its own typography, direction, spacing, interaction and search strategy.

A bilingual website should feel native in both languages. SiteWise designs and develops Arabic RTL behavior deliberately, including navigation, cards, timelines, icons, forms, device layouts, content hierarchy and metadata. English and Arabic pages are connected correctly for users and search engines.

The business problem

What this website needs to solve.

Arabic pages are literal translations of an English layout.

Questions

Practical answers before you start.

Do you use Egyptian Arabic or Modern Standard Arabic?

The choice depends on the brand, audience and sector. Consumer brands may use Egyptian Arabic, while medical or professional content may require a more formal register.

Can Arabic and English have different content?

Yes. The pages should serve the same intent, but wording, examples and emphasis can be localized for each audience.

Will language switching preserve the current page?

Yes. A properly built bilingual site maps equivalent pages so the visitor does not lose context when switching languages.

Your next customer will probably meet your business online first.

Make that first impression clear, credible, and easy to act on.
