Web Development for the Saudi Market
Saudi Arabia is undergoing the most ambitious transformation in the region. Vision 2030 is reshaping every sector, and businesses across the Kingdom need digital presences that match this new era of opportunity. At Cinematic Web Works, we build websites that are ready for Saudi Arabia's future.
Based in Bahrain — just across the causeway — we serve Saudi clients with the perfect combination of proximity, cultural understanding, and competitive pricing. Same timezone, shared language and business culture, but with the cost advantages of operating from Bahrain.
Understanding the Saudi Digital Landscape
The Saudi market has unique requirements that many international agencies overlook:
- Arabic-First Design: While English is important, Arabic is primary for most Saudi audiences. We build proper RTL websites with beautiful Arabic typography
- Local Payment Integration: SADAD, Mada, and local card processing are essential for Saudi ecommerce
- Mobile-First Reality: Saudi Arabia has one of the world's highest smartphone penetration rates — mobile experience is paramount
- Cultural Sensitivity: Design choices that respect local culture and preferences
- Speed Optimization: Fast-loading sites optimized for Saudi infrastructure
Serving Major Saudi Cities
We work with businesses across the Kingdom:
- Riyadh: Corporate headquarters, government-adjacent projects, financial services, and the booming startup ecosystem
- Jeddah: Trading companies, hospitality, retail, and businesses serving the Hajj/Umrah market
- Dammam & Al Khobar: Oil & gas services, industrial businesses, and companies in the Eastern Province — just a short drive from our Bahrain office
- NEOM & Giga Projects: Businesses supporting Saudi Arabia's ambitious development projects
Eastern Province Advantage: We're just a 30-minute drive from the Saudi border. Clients in Dammam, Al Khobar, and Dhahran can meet us in person easily, and we can be on-site in the Eastern Province within hours.
Our Unique Approach
