One specialist, no account managers
ATHAR is a single specialist practice. You brief the person who designs the pages, writes the markup, sets the Arabic typography and reports the numbers. There is no account layer between the decision and the work, which is why a fixed scope here usually ships in about ten days rather than a quarter.
How the studio works
Most agency time is spent moving information between people. A brief goes to a strategist, the strategist writes a document for a designer, the designer hands a file to a developer, and an account manager explains the result back to you. Every handover costs a week and loses a detail.
Here the chain is one person. I take the brief, agree the scope in writing, build the site, wire the tracking and hand over the reporting. When you send a change on a Tuesday it is usually live on the same day, because there is nobody to brief but me.
- One point of contact from first message to launch and after
- Fixed scope and fixed price agreed before any work starts
- Typical delivery around ten working days for a defined build
- Written replies within two working days, always from me
What I actually build
Bilingual web design
English and Arabic built as two real versions with logical CSS properties, mirrored layout and reciprocal hreflang, not a translated copy of one page.
Technical SEO
Structure, schema, Core Web Vitals and internal linking, so the pages get crawled, understood and cited rather than just published.
AI assisted builds
ChatGPT and Claude APIs wired into the site where they earn their place, plus AI generated imagery that matches the brand rather than a stock library.
Where I work
The studio serves the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the wider Gulf, working in English, Arabic and Spanish on GST time. Most clients are service businesses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi who need a site that ranks in both languages and answers the phone.
Pricing is published rather than quoted on request. You can read the packages, decide whether the number fits and start a conversation already knowing what the work costs.
