Using extensive testing for a store chain, we identified that messages delivered between night time dramatically surpassed those sent during typical daytime, producing one hundred eighty-seven percent greater visibility.

• Created a numerical presentation system that managed both Arabic and English numbers
• Restructured data visualizations to flow from right to left
• Used visual indicators that aligned with Saudi cultural connections

For a government service, we created specialized tracking that uncovered significant variations in engagement between Arabic-preferring and English-preferring visitors. This insight created focused enhancements that enhanced complete system performance by 73%.

After years of making decisions based on guesswork, their new data-driven approach created a significant improvement in sales percentage and a one hundred sixty-seven percent drop in advertising spending.

• Moved product images to the left area, with product details and purchase buttons on the right-hand side
• Changed the product gallery to advance from right to left
• Added a custom Arabic typeface that kept legibility at various dimensions

Essential classifications to implement:

• Place-based groups within Saudi Arabia (behavior varies significantly between regions)
• Wealth levels customized for the Saudi society
• Cultural conservatism scale
• Online proficiency degrees

Helping a medical center, we restructured their content to incorporate entire queries that users would verbally request, such as "Where can I find a dermatologist in Riyadh?" This strategy enhanced their spoken question discovery by 73%.

For a banking client, we created a customized tracking methodology that featured culturally-relevant behavioral indicators. This approach revealed formerly invisible business potential that increased their income by 127%.

Key multilingual metrics to monitor:

• Linguistic toggling behaviors
• Conversion rate differences by linguistic choice
• Abandonment locations in translated journeys
• Search behavior distinctions across languages

A few weeks ago, a business owner inquired why his articles weren't creating any inquiries. After examining his publishing plan, I discovered he was making the same errors I see countless Saudi businesses commit.

A few weeks ago, a travel company found that their digital platform was virtually invisible from spoken searches. After applying the techniques I'm about to share, they're now appearing in forty-seven percent of relevant audio queries.

• Realigning CTA buttons to the right side of forms and interfaces
• Reconsidering information hierarchy to flow from right to left
• Adjusting user controls to align with the right-to-left scanning pattern

As someone who has designed over 30 Arabic websites in the recent years, I can confirm that applying Western UX practices to Arabic interfaces fails miserably. The unique characteristics of Arabic script and Saudi user expectations require a completely different approach.

For a store owner, we found that their audio query visibility was restricted because they had optimized mainly for non-Arabic questions. After adding customized local spoken question improvement, their findability improved by over two hundred percent.

Throughout my recent project for a banking company in Riyadh, we observed that users were repeatedly clicking the wrong navigation elements. Our user testing demonstrated that their attention naturally flowed from right to left, but the important navigation components were positioned with a left-to-right hierarchy.

• Redesigned the application process to match right-to-left user expectations

• Built a bilingual form system with intelligent language changing

• Improved mobile interactions for right-handed Arabic input

• Explicitly mark which language should be used in each form element

• Automatically change keyboard language based on field type

• Position field labels to the right of their associated inputs

• Confirm that validation messages appear in the same language as the expected input

• Place the most important content in the upper-right area of the viewport

• Structure content blocks to flow from right to left and top to bottom

• Implement heavier visual weight on the right side of balanced layouts

• Verify that pointing icons (such as arrows) direct in the appropriate direction for RTL designs

• Select fonts specifically designed for Arabic on-screen viewing (like GE SS) rather than conventional print fonts

• Increase line leading by 150-175% for enhanced readability

• Use right-justified text (never centered for main content)

• Prevent compressed Arabic fonts that diminish the characteristic letter structures

A few weeks ago, I was consulting with a large e-commerce company that had poured over 200,000 SAR on a impressive Jeddah Website Optimization that was performing terribly. The issue? They had merely transformed their English site without considering the fundamental UX differences needed for Arabic users.
