# 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

- 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

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
