Website design
Arabic website design and bilingual Arabic-French websites
An Arabic version is more than translated sentences: the page reads right to left, the typefaces change and people search with different keywords. I build well-structured Arabic and multilingual websites, for visitors and for Google alike.
Sound familiar?
- Your website exists in French, but a large share of your customers prefer to read in Arabic.
- An automatic translation plugin produced a clumsy, misaligned Arabic version.
- The Arabic version never shows up on Google, because both languages share the same address.
What I deliver
Right-to-left layout
Menus, arrows, forms and alignment mirrored properly, with nothing broken.
Arabic typography
A readable Arabic font matched to your Latin font, loaded without slowing the website down.
One URL per language
Separate, translated URLs linked together with hreflang tags for Google.
Language switcher
A switch that leads to the same translated page and remembers the visitor's choice.
How we work
- 01
Languages and audiences
Which languages, for which visitors, and which language to show by default.
- 02
Content
Copy written or adapted by people, not raw machine translation.
- 03
Build
Multilingual development, right-to-left layout and testing on mobile.
- 04
SEO
Titles, descriptions and keywords worked on separately for each language.
One language, one real version of the website
Every language deserves its own URL, its own title and its own description. That's what lets the Arabic page rank for searches in Arabic, instead of staying invisible behind the French version.
Proof by example
This very website exists in French, English and Arabic, with translated URLs, right-to-left reading and automatic display in the browser's language.

Frequently asked questions
Modern Standard Arabic or Darija?
For a website, Modern Standard Arabic remains the reference and builds trust. Darija can be used occasionally, for example in hooks or on social media.
Can Arabic be added to an existing website?
Often yes, depending on the website's technology. I first review what exists to decide whether it's better to adapt it or rebuild it cleanly.
Should both versions be identical?
They should cover the same services, but the tone and examples can be adapted to each audience. Google rewards natural content over word-for-word translation.
