A website can look polished and still fail to support enquiries or sales. We design mobile-first Arabic-English websites for Baghdad, Erbil, Basra businesses, with performance targets tested on representative Iraqi devices and networks. DataReportal's Digital 2026 Iraq report provides the market baseline.
Ijjad is based in Amman and serves Iraq remotely. Compare our written scope with Iraqi and regional providers on the same pages, languages, integrations, testing, ownership, support, acceptance criteria.
What should an Iraqi business look for in a web design company?
Language is the decision most templates get wrong in Iraq: Arabic across Baghdad and Basra, Kurdish across Erbil and the Kurdistan Region, and often an English layer for staff or international partners, each carrying its own layout direction and font stack. Ask any shortlisted studio to open a live bilingual build and switch its language in front of you. Ijjad builds custom Arabic-English mobile-first sites for Iraqi businesses in Baghdad, Erbil, Basra and Mosul, scoped after discovery with project-specific milestones. Supporting client records are private.
Iraq had 39.6 million internet users and 83.8% internet penetration at the end of 2025 (DataReportal Digital 2026: Iraq, October 2025 data), and 57.08% of its web traffic came from phones against 41.42% from desktops in August 2026 (StatCounter). Four sessions in ten on a desktop is too many to treat as an afterthought, so the practical response is to define a performance budget and test the rendered site on representative devices, locations, network conditions rather than infer one connection mix or promise a universal load time.
Urban shares are from the November 2024 census results as reported by the Associated Press, 24 February 2025; the census counted 46.1 million residents. All figures read on their sources on 10 September 2026.

City strategies
The core engineering can be reused where appropriate; the strategy and content layer changes per market. Baghdad B2B, Erbil hospitality, and Basra oil-services don't want the same site.
| City | Audience strength | Timeline | Design focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baghdad | B2B + retail + government vendors | Confirmed after discovery | Mobile-first customer journeys, Arabic-first UX, and trust signals for procurement-aware buyers. |
| Erbil | KRG enterprise + diaspora + hospitality | Confirmed after discovery | Trilingual (Arabic/English/Kurdish), Sorani Kurdish content, English-first hospitality angle. |
| Basra | Oil-services + logistics + import/export | Confirmed after discovery | Procurement-ready service pages, RFP-friendly content, mobile-first for 4G-only governorates. |
| Mosul / Sulaymaniyah / Najaf | SME retail + education + cultural orgs | Confirmed after discovery | Lightweight builds for mid-tier Android, Arabic-first customer journeys, and governorate-aware delivery. |

Your website has 3 seconds to convince a visitor to stay. We design websites that make those seconds count - visually sharp, fast-loading, and built to turn visitors into customers across Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC. Every design starts with research into your market, your competitors, and how your actual customers behave online. The result is a custom, mobile-first website that looks professional, loads fast, and converts visitors into leads.
Learn moreA strong design still needs reliable engineering. We build custom React and Next.js sites with performance budgets, search-ready structure, API integrations, and content workflows matched to the project. PageSpeed is measured on each build, but no universal score or ranking outcome is promised.
Learn moreSaudi shoppers put SAR 29.86 billion through mada cards online in July 2025 alone (SAMA), and 92.5% of Jordan is online (DataReportal, Digital 2026). If you're not selling online, your competitors are capturing your customers. We build online stores that actually generate revenue.
Learn moreIjjad helps businesses in Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC improve search visibility and connect it to qualified demand. Work starts from current query, page, technical, local, and conversion evidence; no page-one outcome or fixed timeline is guaranteed.
Learn moreSaudi Arabia's app market is racing toward growing quickly through 2033 and mobile is the primary internet access point across the GCC. We build iOS and Android apps that your users will actually want to keep on their phones.
Learn moreA complete, accurate Google Business Profile helps eligible local businesses appear with useful information when nearby customers search. Ijjad supports setup, category and service alignment, content, native-review workflows, citations, and reporting; map placement and calls are not guaranteed.
Learn moreHave an idea for an AI-powered product? We turn concepts into working MVPs in weeks, not months. From ChatGPT-integrated tools to custom AI workflows - we build the products that give your business a competitive edge.
Learn moreNot ready for a full build? We create interactive AI prototypes that look and feel like the real thing - in days, not weeks. Perfect for investor pitches, user testing, and validating ideas before committing scope to development.
Learn moreBuyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI for a supplier before they open a search results page. Those answers are built from pages an engine could actually fetch and parse. The AI Visibility Sprint fixes what is blocking retrieval on your site, then makes it callable by agents where that is worth doing: crawler access, server-rendered content, honest structured data, llms.txt, and a Model Context Protocol server for the actions an assistant should be able to run. Ijjad shipped all of this on its own site first, and the MCP endpoint is public at ijjad.com/mcp.
Learn moreIjjad reports 20+ government and enterprise digital products. The named client work on this site is live and independently checkable; the government and enterprise projects stay anonymized under NDA. We apply that senior delivery discipline to Iraqi projects in Baghdad, Erbil, Basra.

First-party testimonials
These anonymized quotes are published by Ijjad. They are not native reviews from Google, Clutch, or another independent platform.
“Ijjad replaced an unclear website with a focused experience that gives prospects a much clearer path to contact us. The team understood our regional market and kept the work tied to the business goal.”
“We needed a website and mobile app on a tight scope. Ijjad gave us a practical plan that made sense for a startup, and Karam stayed directly involved through the important decisions.”
“Ijjad rebuilt the storefront around Mada checkout and a mobile-first customer flow. The result is easier for our team to manage and clearer for customers to use.”
“We launched our online catalog with cash-on-delivery and ZainCash in one checkout. The reconciliation dashboard gives our team a clearer way to manage orders, and the Arabic checkout feels native rather than translated.”
“The trilingual MVP treated Sorani Kurdish as a first-class language from the start rather than an afterthought. Ijjad also kept the page weight small for customers accessing it outside Iraq.”
“We needed governorate-level shipping rules, RFP-friendly service pages, and a site that loads well on mobile connections in southern Iraq. Ijjad delivered those requirements and walked our team through the cash-on-delivery operations before launch.”
