# Breaking Down Professional Website Design Cost in The Kingdom

For a software business, we discovered that their English content was substantially better than their native information. After upgrading their local language standards, they experienced a 129% growth in sales from Arabic-speaking readers.

Powerful publication elements:

  • Graphic superiority with local context
  • Brief video content with Arabic audio
  • Behind-the-scenes peeks that add personality to the brand
  • Cultural moments acknowledgment

Last month, my colleague Hessa received quotes spanning 22,000 to 58,000 SAR for virtually the same business website. The disparity? The higher quotes contained bespoke design components rather than template-based approaches.

I use a straightforward tracker to monitor our competition's rates modifications every week. This recently enabled us to:

  • Discover cyclical price reductions
  • Notice special offer tactics
  • Grasp their pricing psychology

When I launched my e-commerce business three years ago, I was sure that our unique products would sell themselves. I ignored market research as a waste of time – a mistake that almost destroyed my entire business.

I now utilize several resources that have significantly upgraded our market intelligence:

  • Keyword trackers to analyze rivals' SEO strategies
  • Social listening tools to monitor competitors' digital footprint
  • Website analysis solutions to observe modifications to their websites
  • Email capture to receive their promotional messages

Today's network usage in Saudi Arabia:

  • Image network: Leading for lifestyle brands
  • Snapchat: Highly effective with Gen Z demographics
  • Discussion network: Substantial for news and social conversation
  • TikTok: Rapidly growing notably with younger audiences
  • LinkedIn: Effective for business-to-business communication

Last year, I watched as three similar businesses spent significantly into growing their presence on a certain social media platform. Their efforts flopped as the medium appeared to be a bad match for our sector.

Through detailed analysis for a apparel company, we identified that messages delivered between 9-11 PM significantly outperformed those sent during traditional business hours, producing substantially higher readership.

Initiate by mapping ALL your rivals – not just the well-known ones. During our investigation, we identified that our biggest competitor wasn't the established business we were monitoring, but a recent startup with an unique strategy.

Essential modifications included:

  • Incorporating preferred Saudi financial services like local services
  • Simplifying address entry for Saudi addresses
  • Providing Arabic localization throughout the checkout process
  • Presenting delivery estimates tailored to Saudi areas

I still think about the surprise on my brother-in-law's face when he was handed a quote for 75K SAR for his company website. "It's just a site!" he protested. Not long after, he ended up with a cheap 3,000 SAR site that looked terrible and didn't attract a single lead.

A friend who runs a café in ThreeSixty Agency Riyadh at first was shocked at the additional 12,000 SAR for an online reservation system, but afterward mentioned me it recovered its cost within 90 days by cutting personnel resources spent on phone reservations.

Six months into our launch, our conversions were disappointing. It wasn't until I happened to a detailed analysis about our market sector that I discovered how oblivious I'd been to the market realities around us.

I recommend categorizing competitors as:

  • Primary competitors (offering very similar offerings)
  • Indirect competitors (with limited resemblance)
  • Potential disruptors (new businesses with innovative potential)

A few months ago, an e-commerce client was experiencing a disappointing 0.8% conversion rate despite substantial site users. After implementing the techniques I'm about to share, their purchase ratio improved to 3.7%, resulting marketing agency in Saudi capital a dramatic growth in income.

For a banking customer, we developed a material collection about household money management that included Islamic financial principles. This content outperformed their previous typical investment tips by 417% in interaction.

Working with a healthcare provider, we transformed their text-heavy health guides into image-rich narratives with infographics. This approach improved their content consumption by over two hundred percent.

I dedicate at least a substantial amount of time each week analyzing our competitors':

  • Online organization and UX
  • Blog posts and publishing frequency
  • Social media activity
  • Customer reviews and assessments
  • Keyword tactics and rankings

As opposed to focusing solely on getting the lowest quote, consider the potential return that a quality website will deliver for your business. A professionally created site is an asset that will continue delivering value for years to come.

Working with a culinary business, we developed a material plan that combined cultural elements with world-class production, producing engagement rates two hundred eighteen percent higher than their former strategy.
