Pricing & Timeline

How much does a website cost in Saudi Arabia?

A business website in Saudi Arabia ranges from 10,000 SAR for a 5–8 page bilingual brochure to 25,000–60,000 SAR for content-heavy sites and 60,000–250,000+ SAR for e-commerce or custom platforms. The 10,000 SAR floor is real — it covers Arabic-first RTL, Core Web Vitals, ZATCA-aware checkout where relevant, and a transparent CMS hand-off.

How much does a website cost in Jordan?

A business website in Jordan ranges from 7,000 JOD for a brochure site, 15,000–35,000 JOD for content-heavy or service-area sites, and 35,000–150,000+ JOD for e-commerce or custom platforms. Pricing differs from Saudi because the local market and currency dynamics differ; we quote per market not converted.

How long does a website take to build?

Standard business websites ship in 4–6 weeks. Content-heavy or service-area sites run 6–10 weeks. E-commerce on a headless stack runs 10–16 weeks. Government and enterprise platforms run 12–24 weeks. We share weekly Vercel preview builds from week 2 — no surprise reveals.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes — typically 40% to start, 30% at design sign-off, 30% on launch. Larger engagements use milestone-based payment schedules tied to deliverables. We do not take 100% upfront and we do not invoice on hours-only models for production work.

Web Design & Development

Do you build Arabic-first websites with proper RTL support?

Yes. Every Saudi and Jordan project is Arabic-first. RTL parity uses Tailwind logical properties; Arabic typography uses fonts tested for legibility (IBM Plex Sans Arabic, GE SS, or your brand-licensed face); numerals respect locale; Hijri date support is built in; bilingual switching keeps user state.

What technology do you use?

Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind by default. Headless CMS (Payload, Strapi, or WordPress headless) per engagement. Vercel or Cloudflare hosting for non-PDPL Tier-2 work; STC Cloud or Mobily for in-Kingdom hosting. The same stack that powers most modern Saudi government platforms.

Can you migrate my existing site without losing rankings?

Yes. URL inventory + canonical map before launch, 301 redirect manifest covering every legacy URL, schema parity audit, content parity audit, pre/post Core Web Vitals snapshots, and Search Console post-launch monitoring with weekly delta reports.

E-Commerce

Which Saudi payment methods do you integrate?

Mada (~95% Saudi card coverage), Apple Pay, STC Pay, SADAD. Tabby and Tamara for BNPL where retail conversion matters. HyperPay or Moyasar as the unified gateway for most engagements. ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing wired into checkout.

Should I use Shopify or custom?

Shopify is great for quick launches under 50 products with standard features. Custom (Next.js + headless CMS) is better for complex product configurations, multi-vendor marketplaces, or deep ERP/inventory integration. We build both and recommend based on your roadmap, not a default.

What about ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing?

Mandatory for any e-commerce site issuing B2B receipts, and we wire it into every Saudi e-commerce build by default. We integrate with FATOORAH, ZATCA SDK, or your existing ERP's ZATCA module — whichever is the lowest-friction path for your stack.

Mobile Apps & AI

How much does mobile app development cost in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi mobile app development ranges from 25,000 SAR for a startup MVP to 500,000+ SAR for enterprise platforms. Standard production apps (iOS + Android, payments, auth, admin) land at 60,000–120,000 SAR. Government-grade with Nafath, Tawakkalna, PDPL Tier-2 controls runs 150,000+ SAR.

React Native, Flutter, or native?

React Native fits 80% of Saudi business apps. Flutter is preferable for pixel-perfect UI or heavy animation. Native iOS/Android is the right call for AR, deep hardware integration, or apps extended for years by an in-house team.

Do you do AI prototyping?

Yes. AI prototyping starts at 10,000 SAR for a 2–4 week proof-of-concept that validates an AI hypothesis with real users. ChatGPT, Claude, ALLaM, Falcon, and Jais integrations. PDPL data residency and SDAIA-aligned engineering by default.

Working Together

Where are you based and where do you serve?

Headquartered in Amman, Jordan. About 70% of work is for Saudi clients (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Mecca, Medina). We also serve Iraq (Baghdad, Erbil), Jordan (Amman, Irbid), and the GCC (UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman). Standard delivery is fully remote; we travel for kickoffs and major reviews.

How do we communicate?

Zoom for meetings, Slack for daily comms, project management tools (Linear / Notion / Trello per engagement) for task tracking, weekly Vercel preview builds for transparency. English or Arabic — we work in both.

What makes Ijjad different?

Government-scale engineering muscle (20+ digital products including national-scale platforms across 10+ Saudi ministries) plus SME-grade pricing and timelines (10,000 SAR floor for websites, 4–6 week standard delivery). Most buyers either pay enterprise prices for enterprise quality or pay templated-site prices for templated quality. We sit between those.

Are testimonials and case studies real?

Yes — every figure is verifiable, but client names are withheld under NDA. Reviews and case studies use anonymized format (role + city). The metrics, sectors, and outcomes are real.
