Perfecting the Arabic User Experience Design

Recently, I watched as three competitors invested heavily into growing their business on a certain social media platform. Their efforts failed spectacularly as the channel appeared to be a mismatch for our market.

For a financial institution, we created a flexible layout approach that dynamically adjusted menus, typography, and structure based on the active language, producing a forty-two percent growth in audience participation.

Through extensive testing for a fashion retailer, we identified that emails sent between night time substantially exceeded those sent during standard daytime, generating substantially higher open rates.

Start by mapping ALL your competition – not just the obvious ones. Throughout our research, we identified that our largest rival wasn’t the well-known company we were tracking, but a recent business with an unique approach.

For a banking company, we produced a information campaign about household money management that included halal investment concepts. This information surpassed their former typical investment tips by over four hundred percent in interaction.

I now employ several resources that have dramatically enhanced our market intelligence:

  • Search analysis platforms to analyze competitors’ search rankings
  • Social listening tools to follow competition’s online presence
  • Site monitoring tools to monitor modifications to their digital properties
  • Newsletter subscription to get their promotional messages

Essential components:

  • Formal vs. casual Arabic usage
  • Geographic accent variations suitable for the intended users
  • Formal addresses usage portraying appropriate deference
  • Religious expressions used with sensitivity
  • Figures of speech that connect with regional traditions

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have unique challenges about implementing these best UX design practices for Arabic websites – I’m always glad to share more specific insights based on my projects.

Last quarter, a store owner complained that their email marketing efforts were creating dismal results with readership below 8%. After applying the strategies I’m about to reveal, their open rates jumped to 37% and sales improved by over two hundred percent.

  • Distinctly specify which language should be used in each input field
  • Automatically change keyboard input based on field type
  • Position field labels to the right side of their connected inputs
  • Confirm that system feedback appear in the same language as the required input

When I launched my online business three years ago, I was convinced that our special products would stand out naturally. I dismissed competitive research as superfluous – a mistake that almost destroyed my entire venture.

  • Choose fonts specifically designed for Arabic digital display (like Dubai) rather than traditional print fonts
  • Expand line height by 150-175% for enhanced readability
  • Set right-justified text (never middle-aligned for primary copy)
  • Avoid compressed Arabic typefaces that compromise the characteristic letter structures

For a high-end accommodation company, we developed a engagement methodology with precise focus on Arabic language nuances. This technique increased their interaction levels by one hundred eighty-seven percent.

For a technology company, we discovered that their international information was substantially stronger than their native information. After enhancing their Arabic content quality, they achieved a one hundred twenty-nine percent growth in conversion rates from Arabic-speaking readers.

  • Relocated product visuals to the left side, with product details and purchase buttons on the right side
  • Changed the product gallery to progress from right to left
  • Added a custom Arabic font that preserved clarity at various dimensions

Essential delivery findings:

  • Post-prayer times offering engagement opportunities
  • After dark usage spikes significantly higher than international norms
  • Non-work day habits notably varied from weekday interaction
  • Temporal shifts during religious occasions demanding tailored strategies
  • Educational timetable influences on particular audiences

Key channel insights:

  • Chat platforms as primary engagement mediums for user assistance
  • Ephemeral platforms functioning extremely effectively for certain demographics
  • Video platforms consumption at significantly higher amounts than international averages
  • Short-form considerable effect on public discourse
  • Visual platforms especially powerful for aspirational brands

Last month, I was advising a prominent e-commerce company that had invested over 200,000 SAR on a impressive website that was failing miserably. The reason? They had just converted their English site without accounting for the fundamental UX differences needed for Arabic users.

Throughout my recent project for a financial services company in Riyadh SEO services Compared, we found that users were frequently tapping the wrong navigation elements. Our user testing showed that their focus naturally flowed from right to left, but the important navigation elements were located with a left-to-right importance.
