Arabic website design for businesses in Qatar
An Arabic and English website gives your customers in Qatar pages they can read and enquiries they can send in their preferred language. We build mirrored Arabic layouts, select Arabic fonts that pair with your English typeface, and put a language switcher on every page. From our studio in India, we work with your team on the design and build.

Choosing
Should you launch both languages together?
Launch both together when customers need each language from the outset. If your immediate priority is a smaller first phase, start with one language and prepare the structure for the others. You can also translate the main service and contact pages while keeping a blog or careers section in one language. The switcher needs to account for those gaps, so a visitor is never sent to a missing translation.
For most teams, language folders such as /en/ and /ar/ on one domain are the simplest arrangement to manage. Subdomains or separate country domains suit organisations whose regions have different offers, teams or legal entities, but they add setup work. Before design starts, we help you agree the languages, page coverage, default language and who will translate and approve the copy. That gives the design a clear scope and gives your reviewers a defined role.
Market
What do customers in Qatar expect?
Arabic is the official language, and English is commonly used in commerce. That makes the choice of page coverage practical: decide which services, contact routes and customer information need to be available in both languages. Arabic-speaking customers need copy that reads naturally, along with forms and confirmations they can use in Arabic.
The content depends on what you offer. Property developers and brokers need bilingual listings, brochures and enquiry forms; clinics need service pages, doctor profiles and booking information that patients can read in their own language. Exporters need product information to stay consistent across their language versions.
Rules
What does a website in Qatar need to handle?
If your site collects contact details for direct marketing, Qatar’s rule against unsolicited direct marketing means the form needs a prior-consent choice. We set up a clear consent field for that purpose, separate from the details a visitor enters to make an enquiry.
A website aimed at children needs express approval from a parent or guardian before processing a child’s personal data. We set up an approval step in the relevant form workflow, so you can collect that approval before asking the child to submit personal details.
How it runs
How the project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time is 2h30m ahead, so we use those shared channels to keep feedback and decisions visible across the time difference.
- 01
Design
We review key page templates with you in both directions. You can check the spacing and alignment in Arabic and English before the layouts move into the build.
- 02
Content
We set up a translation, review and approval workflow. Your reviewers have a defined point at which to check the text before it is used on the site.
- 03
Direction
We set the page direction in the HTML and handle mixed-direction text in the markup. English names, email addresses and URLs within Arabic sentences need a check for display order.
- 04
Testing
We check both languages on real phones, including line breaks, font loading, form validation, on-site search and the emails sent by forms. You can review the experience in each language.
- 05
Launch and care
We handle domain, email, analytics and search setup, then provide ongoing support. Where the agreed build uses a CMS, your team can edit the site.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
A few content decisions make it easier to set up a review and approval process.
- Your language list, with the pages you want translated in each language.
- Your Arabic logo, if you have one, and your preferred Arabic spelling of the company name.
- A glossary of agreed product, service and technical terms for translators and editors.
- The name of the person who will publish new content in each language after launch.
- Headlines and calls to action for review, alongside specifications or policies that need faithful translation.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The scope of the content and the existing site shapes the design, build and review work.
Page coverage
Each language needs its own content review, testing and upkeep; translating selected pages takes a different amount of work from translating the whole site.
Translation
Supplied, approved copy keeps the scope smaller. Arranging professional translation and review adds work.
Existing structure
Adding a language to a site built for one language can require changes to templates, URLs and the CMS.
External tools
Booking widgets, maps, chat and payment pages need checking for Arabic and right-to-left support; some need an alternative or custom work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Text inside graphics
Keep banner and graphic text as live text where possible, so each translation does not need new artwork.
Incomplete hreflang links
Each language version should list itself and the other versions, with the pages linking back to each other.
Automatic language redirects
Give visitors visible links to the other versions instead of redirecting them by browser language or location.
Content drifting apart
Give each update a translation and review step, so service and contact details do not fall behind in Arabic.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Qatar
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an Arabic website cost?
There is no fixed price. The work depends on the right-to-left design and testing required, and on how the content is translated and reviewed. Customer-facing and legal copy suits professional translation; human-reviewed machine translation can suit lower-stakes material such as older blog posts. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Can you provide the Arabic translation?
Yes. We can arrange professional translation or work with your own translator, and your team reviews and approves all Arabic text before launch. That gives you control over the wording customers see while giving the translator a clear route for resolving questions with your reviewers.
Can we start in English and add Arabic later?
Yes. We can build the site ready for a second language, making it straightforward to add Arabic later. Agree that plan before the build, so the initial structure leaves room for the Arabic pages instead of treating them as an unplanned addition.
What happens to enquiry forms in Arabic?
The form needs Arabic labels, error messages and confirmations, along with an Arabic auto-reply email. We also account for the names and digits customers actually type when validating the fields. The English version needs its own corresponding messages, so both routes make sense to the person submitting the enquiry.
Can the site support languages beyond Arabic and English?
Yes. We support other languages, including right-to-left languages such as Urdu. Each script needs suitable font choices and the same care with direction, so tell us which readers you plan to serve before the typography and layouts are selected.
How do we keep the language versions useful after launch?
Give every content update a translation step and agree who checks the versions stay in sync. You can also report on each language separately in analytics and Search Console, so you can see which version brings enquiries and where more content is needed.
