Built in Beirut.Built to be heard.

Questions, answered.

How much does a website cost in Lebanon?

It depends on what the site has to do, and any agency quoting a number before asking is guessing. A straightforward brochure site for a local business is a fundamentally different project from a bilingual store with a checkout built around local payment rails — different timeline, different skill set, different ongoing cost. What we can tell you up front is which of those two your idea actually is, and roughly what each involves, in a conversation rather than a form-letter reply.

Do you work with businesses outside Beirut?

Yes, and a good share of our Lebanese work already is. RockFort Boutique is in the mountain village of Hrajel and Rosette Chocolate Design is in Faraya — neither project needed anyone in the same room. Most of the work happens over calls, WhatsApp and shared previews you can open on your phone, which is the same way we run projects for clients in the USA, Australia, Canada, the UAE and France.

Can a Lebanese business actually accept online payments?

Yes, though the honest answer is narrower than the international guides suggest, because several of the providers they recommend do not onboard Lebanese businesses. There are options that genuinely clear, and the right one depends on whether you sell locally, to the diaspora, or both. We work that out before the build rather than after, since it changes how the checkout is put together.

Do you build e-commerce stores for Lebanese businesses?

Yes, and it is one of the things we do most here. A Lebanese store is not a generic storefront with the country changed — the checkout has to clear on rails that actually work locally, prices have to make sense in two currencies, and shipping has to reflect what your courier really charges. We have built stores for a vintage furniture boutique in Hrajel and a custom mural platform where customers design before they buy, so the awkward parts are familiar rather than a surprise mid-project.

Can you build a website in both Arabic and English?

Yes. Arabic is not a translation layer bolted onto an English site — it is right-to-left, the typography needs faces with real Arabic coverage, and line lengths and headline sizes that were tuned for English break at the same nominal size. We build bilingual sites with that handled properly from the start, which is considerably cheaper than discovering it after launch.

Should I just use a website builder instead of hiring an agency?

Honestly, sometimes yes. If you need a simple presence — who you are, what you do, how to reach you — and you are willing to maintain it, a builder is a reasonable and much cheaper answer, and we would rather tell you that than take the project. Where builders stop working is when the site has to *do* something: a checkout built around local payment methods, bilingual Arabic and English content, a booking system with real availability, or anything your team logs into. That is the point where the DIY route quietly costs more than it saved.

How long does a website take to build?

A focused brochure site is usually a matter of weeks; a store with a custom checkout, bilingual content or integrations runs longer. The variable that moves the timeline most is rarely the design — it is content. Copy, photography and product data are what projects actually wait on, so we scope who is producing what at the start and build around it.
