As someone who has developed over 30 Arabic websites in the last half-decade, I can tell you that applying Western UX standards to Arabic interfaces simply doesn't work. The distinctive elements of Arabic text and Saudi user behaviors require a completely different approach.

|
||||
* Changed the photo slider to move from right to left

A few weeks ago, I was advising a major e-commerce company that had poured over 200,000 SAR on a beautiful website that was converting poorly. The problem? They had merely transformed their English site without considering the essential design distinctions needed for Arabic users.
|
||||
|
||||
* Realigning call-to-action buttons to the right side of forms and interfaces
|
||||
* Rethinking content prioritization to progress from right to left
|
||||
* Adapting interactive elements to follow the right-to-left reading pattern

* Clearly indicate which language should be used in each entry box
|
||||
* Intelligently switch keyboard input based on field requirements
|
||||
* Locate field labels to the right-hand side of their corresponding inputs
|

I dedicate at least two hours each regularly examining our competitors':

|
||||

|
||||
* Client testimonials and evaluations
|
||||
* Keyword strategy and positions
|
||||
|

||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Position the most essential content in the top-right area of the screen
|
||||
* Arrange information segments to advance from right to left and top to bottom
|
||||
* Apply heavier visual weight on the right side of equal layouts
|
||||
* Confirm that pointing icons (such as arrows) point in the right direction for RTL interfaces
|
||||
|
||||
* Reorganized the application process to follow right-to-left user expectations
|
||||
* Built a dual-language form system with automatic language toggling
|
||||
* Enhanced mobile interactions for one-handed Arabic typing
|
