Last month, a fashion retailer consulted me after spending over 150,000 SAR on online marketing with disappointing results. After restructuring their approach, we achieved a six hundred thirty-one percent increase in ROAS.

As someone who has created over 30 Arabic websites in the last half-decade, I can assure you that applying Western UX principles to Arabic interfaces simply doesn't work. The unique characteristics of Arabic text and Saudi user expectations require a completely different approach.

Recently, a company director asked me why his articles weren't creating any inquiries. After examining his publishing plan, I found he was making the same blunders I see countless Saudi businesses repeat.

Recently, a store owner expressed that their email marketing initiatives were producing disappointing results with open rates below 8%. After executing the techniques I'm about to share, their open rates improved to 37% and sales improved by two hundred eighteen percent.

If you're building or revamping a website for the Saudi market, I urge hiring specialists who genuinely comprehend the subtleties of Arabic user experience rather than simply translating Western designs.

Last month, I was advising a large e-commerce platform that had invested over 200,000 SAR on a beautiful [professional Website Design cost](https://Vts-maritime.com/employer/threesixty-ksa/) that was performing terribly. The issue? They had just converted their English site without accounting for the essential design distinctions needed for Arabic users.
|

|
||||
* Use fonts specifically designed for Arabic screen reading (like Boutros) rather than conventional print fonts
|
||||
* Increase line height by 150-175% for enhanced readability

||||

|
||||
* Stay away from compressed Arabic fonts that compromise the distinctive letter forms
|
||||
|
||||
* Developed a numerical presentation system that handled both Arabic and English numbers
|
||||
* Restructured charts to flow from right to left
|
||||
* Used color-coding that aligned with Saudi cultural connections
