For a software business, we discovered that their foreign language material was significantly better than their local language material. After improving their Arabic content quality, they achieved a significant increase in sales from Arabic-speaking readers.
As someone who has designed over 30 Arabic websites in the last half-decade, I can confirm that applying Western UX standards to Arabic interfaces simply doesn't work. The special features of Arabic script and Saudi user expectations require a completely different approach.
Recently, my friend's e-commerce store was hardly visible in search results even with selling outstanding products. After applying the methods I'm about to reveal, his unpaid visitors increased by over one hundred fifty percent in just two months.
For a banking company, we produced a content series about generational wealth that featured Shariah-compliant approaches. This information exceeded their earlier standard financial advice by 417% in interaction.
* Moved product images to the left side, with product information and buy buttons on the right
* Modified the product gallery to progress from right to left
* Added a custom Arabic text style that preserved readability at various scales
When I launched my e-commerce business three years ago, I was sure that our unique products would sell themselves. I ignored market research as superfluous – a decision that nearly ruined my entire business.
* Explicitly specify which language should be used in each form element
* Automatically switch keyboard input based on field type
* Place form text to the right of their connected inputs
* Confirm that validation messages appear in the same language as the intended input
I use a simple spreadsheet to monitor our competitors' pricing changes weekly. This has enabled us to:
* Discover seasonal discount patterns
* Detect special offer approaches
* Grasp their value positioning
* Locate the most important content in the top-right area of the page
* Organize page sections to flow from right to left and top to bottom
* Use stronger visual weight on the right side of balanced compositions
* Confirm that indicating icons (such as arrows) direct in the correct direction for RTL layouts
Last year, I watched as three similar businesses spent significantly into developing their presence on a particular social media platform. Their attempts were unsuccessful as the channel proved to be a mismatch for our industry.
* Select fonts purposely developed for Arabic screen reading (like Dubai) rather than classic print fonts
* Expand line height by 150-175% for improved readability
* Use right-oriented text (never centered for body text)
* Prevent narrow Arabic text styles that diminish the distinctive letter shapes
Recently, I was helping a large e-commerce company that had invested over 200,000 SAR on a impressive website that was failing miserably. The issue? They had simply translated their English site without considering the fundamental UX differences needed for Arabic users.
Initiate by listing ALL your rivals – not just the obvious ones. In our analysis, we found that our biggest threat wasn't the well-known business we were tracking, but a recent business with an innovative approach.
* Restructured the form flow to align with right-to-left thinking processes
* Created a dual-language input mechanism with smart language toggling
* Improved touch interfaces for right-handed Arabic input
I spend at least a substantial amount of time each regularly analyzing our competitors':
* Website architecture and user experience
* Blog posts and publishing frequency
* Social media engagement
* Customer reviews and evaluations
* Keyword approach and rankings
* Repositioning CTA buttons to the right-hand portion of forms and screens
* Rethinking content prioritization to progress from right to left
* Redesigning clickable components to align with the right-to-left reading pattern
I now employ several applications that have dramatically upgraded our competitor analysis:
* Keyword trackers to monitor competitors' keyword performance
* Brand monitoring platforms to follow rivals' digital footprint
* Digital tracking tools to track changes to their online presence
* Newsletter subscription to receive their promotional messages
* Designed a figure visualization approach that managed both Arabic and English numbers
* Restructured data visualizations to read from right to left
* Applied graphical cues that matched Saudi cultural connections
In my recent project for a banking company in [Riyadh SEO Services Compared](https://Sithcom.de/shannonbernays), we observed that users were consistently tapping the wrong navigation elements. Our behavior analysis showed that their focus naturally progressed from right to left, but the important navigation items were placed with a left-to-right hierarchy.
