Web design in Riyadh

Quick answer

WebStackRank designs websites for Riyadh companies from its studio in Dubai, one hour ahead of Riyadh. We have no office or staff in Saudi Arabia. Our fixed packages are AED 990, 2,490 and 4,990, about SAR 1,010, 2,540 and 5,095 at the official pegs. An Arabic version, online payments and copywriting are quoted on top. A Riyadh site usually has to win two readers at once: Saudi customers who search in Arabic, and head offices or partners who read English. We design the Arabic side first, then the English, not the reverse.

Who we are

Who we are, and what we don't claim

We are a Dubai design and development studio. We don't have a Riyadh address, a Saudi phone number or a Saudi commercial registration, and we don't pretend to. Riyadh clients work with us by video call, WhatsApp and a private staging link they can open on any phone. This page sets out how we design for Riyadh. It is not a client list; ask for the portfolio pieces closest to your sector.

Search

Riyadh is a city of seven million, and most of it searches in Arabic

Riyadh had 7.0 million residents at the 2022 census, the largest city in the Kingdom. When we checked Google's Arabic suggestions in November 2026, Riyadh produced more web design and programming phrases than any other Gulf city outside Dubai: "تصميم مواقع الرياض", "شركة تصميم مواقع الرياض", "افضل شركة تصميم مواقع الرياض", even "تصميم مواقع التجارة الإلكترونية الرياض". English searches for the same thing are rare by comparison. A Riyadh website that is designed in English and translated afterwards is designed for the minority of its visitors.

What Arabic-first design means in practice

  • Layouts drawn right to left from the start. Navigation, icons that imply direction, forms, tables and carousels are designed for RTL, then mirrored for English. Mirroring an English layout into Arabic is what makes so many Saudi sites feel translated.
  • Arabic type that holds up on a phone. We pair an Arabic typeface designed for screens with a Latin one that matches its weight, and we size Arabic slightly larger so it stays readable.
  • Arabic numbers and dates decided deliberately. Prices, phone numbers and Hijri or Gregorian dates are set once in a style guide, so the site doesn't mix them page to page.
  • Separate Arabic URLs, titles and descriptions. The Arabic pages are written for the Arabic searches above, not translated from English titles, so they can rank on their own.

Buyers

Who buys websites in Riyadh, and what each needs from the design

  1. Corporate head offices, banks and consultancies

    King Abdullah Financial District, owned by the Public Investment Fund, covers about 1.6 million square metres with 64 towers, among them head offices of large Saudi banks and global consultancies. More than 700 international companies had regional headquarters in Riyadh by the end of 2025. Their sites are judged by procurement teams and senior buyers. The design brief is restraint: a clear hierarchy, leadership and credentials that are easy to verify, bilingual reports and press pages, and no stock-photo filler.

  2. SMEs, traders and service firms

    The Riyadh Chamber, founded in 1961, handles most of its member services online. In 2022 it authenticated about 2.46 million documents electronically against roughly 220,000 on paper. Riyadh business owners are used to doing things digitally, so they expect a supplier's website to work as well as a government portal. For clinics, contractors, schools and service firms we design for one action: a call, a WhatsApp message or a quote request, reachable from every page with a thumb.

  3. Brands selling online

    Zid, one of the Kingdom's two big store platforms, is based in Riyadh, and many Riyadh brands start on it. When a brand wants its own look rather than a theme, we design product, collection and checkout pages around how Saudi shoppers pay: mada first, with Apple Pay and the prices including VAT shown before checkout. The build and integration side is covered on our web development in Riyadh page.

  4. Hospitality, events and visitor businesses

    Riyadh will host Expo 2030, from 1 October 2030 to 31 March 2031. Hotels, venues, caterers and event companies are planning for international visitors who read English and Saudi visitors who read Arabic. Their sites need fast, image-led pages that still load on hotel Wi-Fi and mobile data, plus clear booking or enquiry paths in both languages.

The rules

The rules your design has to make room for

These are national rules, so they apply in Riyadh the same as anywhere in the Kingdom. The design has to give each one a place.

  • Seller identity in the footer and checkout. Under the new Commercial Register Law your Unified National Number (starting with 7) replaces the CR number, and your National Address is the location on record. Online stores must show who is selling and are authenticated through business.sa.
  • Prices including all taxes and delivery fees. The E-Commerce Law requires the total price before purchase. VAT is 15%.
  • Consent and privacy notices. The PDPL applies to businesses of every size. Consent wording on forms and a privacy notice in Arabic and English are part of the design, not an afterthought.

Process

How a Riyadh design project runs

  1. Brief call

    We ask who reads the site, in which language, and the one action it must drive.

  2. Arabic wireframe first

    You approve the Arabic layout of the home page and one inner page.

  3. Visual design

    Colour, type and imagery on those two pages, in Arabic and English.

  4. Build and review

    The full site on a private staging link, on your phone.

  5. Launch

    Domain, sitemaps in both languages, Search Console and Google Business Profile link.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Riyadh?

No. WebStackRank is based in Dubai and designs for Riyadh companies remotely, by video call, WhatsApp and a private staging link. Riyadh is one hour behind Dubai.

How much does website design cost in Riyadh?

Our fixed packages are AED 990, 2,490 and 4,990, about SAR 1,010, 2,540 and 5,095. A custom brand-led design starts from US$1,200, about SAR 4,500. The Arabic version, payments and copywriting are quoted separately.

Do you design the Arabic version first?

Yes, for Riyadh clients whose customers search in Arabic. We draw the layouts right to left, approve them in Arabic, then adapt them for English. Arabic pages get their own URLs, titles and descriptions.

Can my Riyadh website take mada payments?

Yes, through a SAMA-licensed payment provider you contract with. Payments are an add-on to the starter packages. Our Riyadh web development page explains the integration.

What must a Saudi website show about the company?

For an online store: the seller's name, contact details and registration, now the Unified National Number, and the full price including taxes and delivery before purchase. We put these in the footer and checkout.
