Lebanon · Website design
Website design in Beirut
Projects in Gemmayzeh, Downtown, and Achrafieh are agreed in US dollars, because a lira price does not hold. Many of these brands sell to the diaspora as much as to Lebanon, so the Arabic and English versions both need careful writing, and some need French too. Host in Frankfurt rather than on a local server. WhatsApp is the main sales channel, and card payments, when needed, go through Areeba.
Planning range
$1,600 — $5,400
This is a planning range in US dollars, which is how Beirut projects are actually agreed. Arabic and English both need properly written copy, and some brands also need French.
The project includes
- A bilingual structure, Arabic first where the market reads Arabic first
- Mobile layout, a clear contact path, and analytics
- A handover your team can edit without calling a developer for every change

Do companies in Beirut need their site in Arabic and English?
In most cases, yes. Typical clients here are local brands and businesses selling to the diaspora that cannot hold a price in lira, mostly in Gemmayzeh, Downtown, and Achrafieh. Arabic has to shape the design itself, not be a translation pasted onto an English template.

Lebanon’s Law No. 81 of 2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data. Collect only what the form needs, and never store card numbers. Suggested hosting: An EU region (Frankfurt). Hosting inside Lebanon is a weak default because power and connectivity are unreliable.
When do payments and delivery become part of a website in Beirut?
Not on a company site. Once you collect payments, the usual methods are: Areeba for cards, plus Whish Money or OMT where a local wallet is needed. Once you ship physical orders, the usual delivery companies are Aramex and LibanPost. Until then, a clear contact path is enough.
