Bilingual company websites - English and real Arabic RTL

Your company website in English and in real Arabic.

Built to your brand, live 10 working days after you hand over your content. Fixed price agreed in writing. I host it, back it up and keep it running.

One person in Germany. No office in Dubai, no on-site visits. Two new projects a month.

The package

MIRROR - one package. Built, translated, hosted and kept running.

Most companies here do not need seven services. They need one website that works in English and in Arabic, that does not break, and that they can change themselves without waiting for anyone. That is the only thing I sell - built for your brand, not assembled from a theme.

What is included

  • Up to 8 content pages in two languagesEnglish and Arabic. Home, About, two to four service pages, Contact, and the structure for your legal pages. Designed for your brand, not picked from a template library.
  • Real right-to-left ArabicMirrored layout, Arabic typography, a separate URL per language, correct hreflang (en, en-AE, ar, ar-AE, x-default). No translation widget - you can verify it in the source of this page right now.
  • Native-speaker proofreading of the Arabic, includedThe first Arabic version is machine-generated, then proofread by a native speaker I pay for. No surcharge. You approve the Arabic in writing before go-live.
  • Edit it yourselfA simple login where you change English text, prices, images and pages - no ticket, no hourly rate. Arabic changes I make for you, within one working day.
  • An enquiry path that is actually measuredContact form with spam protection, click-to-call, and a WhatsApp button with a pre-filled message. Every enquiry is emailed instantly to up to three recipients with source, page and timestamp - and written to an enquiry log.
  • Automatic acknowledgement to the sender, in their languageEnglish or Arabic. This is where most small companies lose enquiries.
  • Your own analyticsSelf-hosted, its own container, its own database. The data belongs to you and does not sit inside an agency account. Click and submit events are wired as conversions so your own Google Ads or GA4 can read them.
  • Technical SEO foundationSitemap per language, hreflang, structured data, page-level meta data, Search Console set up and verified on your domain, indexing checked.
  • Operations includedEU hosting, SSL with automatic renewal, daily backups, a health check every 30 seconds with automatic restart, an independent external watchdog every 5 minutes that emails an alert, security headers, software updates. Once a year I restore a backup and put the timestamp in your report.
  • Domain and DNSIncluding SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your existing mail provider (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).
  • 45 minutes of changes per month includedAnything you would rather not do yourself. Beyond that, EUR 60 net per hour.
  • One report per month, by emailUptime, load time, visitors, enquiries by source, search terms from Search Console, and what was changed. You never have to open a dashboard.
  • You own it from day oneDomain, analytics, Search Console and any ad account are registered in your name. I hold access, not ownership.
  • Export whenever you ask, no reason requiredWithin 5 working days: the complete running source code of your instance, all content, all images, and a database export in an open format.

Stated up front

What is not included - and why.

Finding this out later is worse than losing the enquiry now. If you need one of these, you have just saved yourself a call.

  • No POS or cash register system for the UAEThe cash register software I run in production is built for German fiscal law, in German, in euros. Adapting it here would be a rewrite, and I would be learning it on your money.
  • No hardware of any kindTerminals, printers, tablets - that requires TDRA type approval through a registered supplier plus customs clearance.
  • No card payments, SoftPOS or acquiring in the UAELicensed activity under CBUAE Circular 15/2021. Payment flows run only through an approved payment account you hold in your own name.
  • No e-invoicing and no accredited service provider roleAccreditation requires Peppol certification, two years of operating history, ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, capital and insurance thresholds. Out of reach - and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing.
  • No Odoo or ERP implementation, migration or partner statusI do not run it.
  • No WhatsApp Business API, no chatbots, no bulk messagingYou get click-to-chat links with a pre-filled message. That is all I have ever built.
  • No Google Business Profile for a free-zone or virtual-office addressGoogle’s own guidelines do not allow it.
  • No campaign managementGoogle, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat: I wire the measurement, I do not steer the spend.
  • No lead, ranking, traffic or revenue guaranteesNo number that depends on your demand, your offer or your pricing.
  • No on-site meetings, no office in Dubai, no hotline, no standby outside working hoursThe Meydan address is a licence address. I say so here rather than after you booked a meeting.
  • No promised response time shorter than one working dayNot in any phase and not for a surcharge, because it would not hold every single week.
  • No copywriting from scratch, no photo or video production, no logo designWhat you supply is structured and edited. Copywriting is EUR 180 per page.
  • No legal advice and no drafting of legal textsYou get the technical structure; the content and the approval are yours or your lawyer’s.
  • No AED invoice with 5 % VATI invoice in euros from my German company, without a UAE tax registration. For a UAE business this is a reverse-charge transaction - and it says so in the quote.

How it runs

Four steps, and you can stop after the first.

01

Preview - 3 working days, EUR 390, credited in full

You fill in a structured questionnaire - 10 to 15 minutes, no call needed - and send me your existing site or Instagram. Three working days later you get a real home page with your own texts, logo and images, in English and in genuine right-to-left Arabic, on a preview address, plus a 90-second screen recording and a one-page findings report on your current site. The preview stays online for 21 days. If you say no, you keep the findings.

02

Order and content handover - 60 to 90 minutes of your time

Scope and fixed price are confirmed in writing before you pay anything, and the EUR 390 is credited in full. You then hand over content through a guided upload. The clock starts here, not at the order.

03

Build - 10 working days from content handover

English version, Arabic first draft, native-speaker proofreading, RTL quality check across all screen sizes, measurement, SEO foundation, legal-page structure. Then one revision round on the preview URL - collected feedback, not drip-fed - and your written approval of the Arabic text.

04

Go-live and running

DNS switch, SSL, Search Console, analytics, backups, health check, external watchdog. The second payment is only due once the site is publicly reachable on your own domain. Within two working days you get a recorded 30-minute walkthrough and a short written guide in English and Arabic.

Price

All prices net, in euros, invoiced from my German company.

MIRROR PREVIEW

EUR 390 once, credited in full

A real home page with your own content, in English and real Arabic RTL, on a preview address for 21 days.

  • 90-second walkthrough recording
  • Written findings report on your existing site: mobile load time, whether a form submission is recorded anywhere at all, whether your tracking is silently blocked, phone links with the wrong number of digits, missing hreflang
  • Delivered in 3 working days
  • Credited 100 % against Core or Plus. No follow-on obligation.

Why it is paid and not free: unpaid work eats the capacity of a one-person operation - and you keep a written finding on your own site whatever you decide.

Start with the preview

MIRROR PLUS

EUR 2,900 once + EUR 690 per month

Everything in Core, plus depth for companies whose website collects appointments or money.

  • Up to 20 pages and a third language (German, Hindi, Russian or another)
  • Appointment and booking flow that takes a deposit through your own Stripe account
  • Search Console analysis with search-term development
  • 2 hours of changes per month · First-year total EUR 11,180

The deposit-booking mechanism is the same one running in production for a dental practice in Germany, including hourly automatic reconciliation between payment provider and booking database.

Talk about Plus

Payment. Preview EUR 390 in advance. Then 50 % at order, 50 % at go-live - the second instalment only falls due once your site is publicly reachable on your own domain. For the first five clients in the UAE the terms move instead of the price: 30 % at order, 70 % thirty days after go-live. The monthly plan runs from go-live day, 6 months minimum, then monthly with 30 days’ notice.

Options, any tier. Copywriting EUR 180 per page · Additional language EUR 900 · Express go-live in 6 instead of 10 working days EUR 900, only if a slot is free · Pay annually and get 12 months for the price of 10.

If I miss the agreed go-live date for reasons on my side, the monthly fee is waived for three months. There is no money-back promise, because a one-person business cannot carry a total refund after the work is done - and “not satisfied” is not a measurable standard.

Capacity. Two new projects a month. Your production slot is reserved in writing. When the month is full I say so instead of taking the order and running late.

Start where the risk is smallest.

EUR 390, three working days, your own content in both languages - and a written finding on your current site that is yours either way.
