During my previous project for a investment company in Riyadh, we discovered that users were repeatedly tapping the wrong navigation elements. Our eye-tracking demonstrated that their eyes naturally moved from right to left, but the important navigation elements were positioned with a left-to-right hierarchy.

Powerful techniques included:

• Sector analyses with Saudi-specific information
• Executive interviews with prominent Saudi professionals
• Case studies from regional initiatives
• Virtual events addressing locally-relevant issues

Effective approaches included:

• Highlighting communal benefits rather than personal benefits
• Adding modest spiritual connections where appropriate
• Adjusting promotion language to align with Saudi cultural norms
• Producing separate creative alternatives for diverse locations within the Kingdom

For a banking brand, we created a website that thoughtfully integrated global practices with culturally appropriate visual components. This approach increased their user confidence by nearly one hundred percent and applications by over seventy percent.

Essential components included:

• Native-speaking producers for dual content
• Regional customization rather than word-for-word transfer
• Uniform brand voice across both languages

• Language-specific keyword strategy

• Explicitly indicate which language should be used in each entry box

• Dynamically change keyboard layout based on field requirements

• Place input descriptions to the right side of their corresponding inputs

• Ensure that validation messages appear in the same language as the intended input

Recently, a company director lamented that his social media marketing was burning through massive amounts of riyals with disappointing results. After analyzing his approach, I identified multiple serious mistakes that are surprisingly common among Saudi businesses.

Recently, I was consulting with a prominent e-commerce business that had spent over 200,000 SAR on a impressive website that was performing terribly. The issue? They had merely transformed their English site without considering the basic experience variations needed for Arabic users.

• Place the most critical content in the top-right section of the page
• Structure information segments to flow from right to left and top to bottom
• Apply stronger visual weight on the right side of symmetrical designs
• Ensure that indicating icons (such as arrows) direct in the right direction for RTL layouts

For a luxury retail client, we created a sophisticated Arabic-English architecture that intelligently adapted layout, menus, and material organization based on the active language. This approach improved their user engagement by 143%.

• Created a figure visualization approach that handled both Arabic and English numbers
• Reorganized data visualizations to progress from right to left

• Applied graphical cues that aligned with Saudi cultural meanings

• Choose fonts specially created for Arabic on-screen viewing (like Boutros) rather than classic print fonts

• Increase line spacing by 150-175% for improved readability

• Use right-aligned text (never middle-aligned for body text)

• Stay away from narrow Arabic typefaces that compromise the characteristic letter structures

• Shifted product images to the left portion, with product information and call-to-action buttons on the right side

• Changed the photo slider to progress from right to left

• Added a custom Arabic typeface that kept clarity at various dimensions

If you’re creating or improving a website for the Saudi market, I urge consulting designers who genuinely comprehend the nuances of Arabic user experience rather than merely translating Western interfaces.

• Reorganized the data entry sequence to match right-to-left thinking processes
• Created a Arabic-English data entry process with automatic language changing
• Optimized mobile interactions for thumb-based Arabic typing

Key elements included:

• Reversed structures for right-to-left viewing
• Script-optimized fonts
• Locally appropriate imagery for each language version

• Consistent visual language across both languages

• Realigning CTA buttons to the right area of forms and interfaces

• Reconsidering information hierarchy to flow from right to left

• Redesigning interactive elements to align with the right-to-left scanning pattern
