# Understanding Website Development Pricing in The Kingdom

Start by identifying ALL your competition – not just the well-known ones. In our research, we discovered that our biggest threat wasn't the well-known business we were monitoring, but a recent business with an unique strategy.

  • Designed a figure visualization approach that managed both Arabic and English numbers
  • Redesigned data visualizations to progress from right to left
  • Implemented graphical cues that matched Saudi cultural associations

Important methods included:

  • Consulting Saudi local users to discover actual search behavior
  • Investigating local competitors for keyword insights
  • Creating a Arabic-English search term structure to engage the complete range of users
  • Implementing Saudi Arabic dialect instead of standard Arabic

I presently use several tools that have substantially upgraded our competitor analysis:

  • Keyword trackers to monitor rivals' search rankings
  • Brand monitoring platforms to follow competition's social activity
  • Website analysis tools to observe updates to their websites
  • Communication monitoring to get their marketing communications

Not long ago, my family-owned business was barely surviving to reach new customers. Our online presence was practically invisible in Google listings. That's when I made the decision to try expert professional website design cost ranking help.

Essential components included:

  • Mother-tongue writers for dual content
  • Contextual modification rather than word-for-word transfer
  • Uniform organizational style across both languages
  • Language-specific SEO

With comprehensive research for a food delivery client, we found that campaigns presented between 9-11 PM dramatically outperformed those delivered during typical prime times, generating 163% higher purchases.

Two quarters into our launch, our revenue were underwhelming. It wasn't until I happened to a comprehensive study about our industry that I discovered how ignorant I'd been to the business environment around us.

  • Shifted product visuals to the left portion, with product information and purchase buttons on the right side
  • Changed the product gallery to advance from right to left
  • Incorporated a custom Arabic font that kept legibility at various dimensions

Successful methods included:

  • Industry reports with Saudi-specific statistics
  • Executive interviews with prominent Saudi professionals
  • Case studies from Kingdom-based work
  • Virtual events exploring regionally-focused challenges

Successful methods included:

  • Showcasing collective advantages rather than individual gains
  • Adding subtle religious references where suitable
  • Adapting promotion language to align with Saudi cultural norms
  • Producing distinct message options for various areas within the Kingdom

I spend at least 120 minutes each regularly examining our competitors':

  • Online organization and user experience
  • Content strategy and content calendar
  • Online platforms activity
  • User feedback and ratings
  • Keyword tactics and positions

In a business networking in Riyadh, I surveyed 17 entrepreneurs about their affordable web design services design experiences. The cost variation was remarkable – from 2,500 SAR for a minimalist site to over 150,000 SAR for complex e-commerce platforms.

A few weeks ago, I was consulting with a major e-commerce company that had poured over 200,000 SAR on a stunning website that was performing terribly. The problem? They had simply translated their English site without accounting for the essential design distinctions needed for Arabic users.

Recently, I observed as three similar businesses poured resources into developing their business on a particular social media platform. Their initiatives flopped as the platform turned out to be a bad match for our market.

  • Use fonts specially created for Arabic on-screen viewing (like Dubai) rather than conventional print fonts
  • Enlarge line leading by 150-175% for improved readability
  • Set right-justified text (never middle-aligned for body text)
  • Avoid condensed Arabic fonts that compromise the characteristic letter shapes

I remember the surprise on my brother-in-law's face when he was handed a quote for 75,000 SAR for his company website. "It's just a webpage!" he shouted. Shortly after, he ultimately with a cheap 3,000 SAR site that was visually disappointing and didn't attract a single lead.

For a hotel client, we discovered that literal conversion of their global search terms produced extremely inefficient investment. After applying a regionally-specific search term approach, their CPA dropped by 73%.

For a investment client, we developed a information campaign about household money management that incorporated Shariah-compliant approaches. This information surpassed their previous generic investment tips by over four hundred percent in interaction.

Additional timing discoveries included:

  • Reduced bidding during prayer times with steady conversion rates
  • Increased response on weekends especially after evening prayers
  • Temporal differences demanding spending modifications during cultural events
  • School schedule influences on particular industries
