WordPress, engineered
properly.
Scalable enterprise WordPress builds with custom themes, plugins, and bilingual Arabic/English CMS for Saudi businesses. No bloated templates — from SAR 1,500.
From SAR 1,500The world's most popular CMS, without the bloat.
WordPress runs over 40% of the web for a reason: your marketing team can edit everything without calling a developer. But most WordPress sites in Saudi Arabia are built on heavy purchased themes with 40 plugins — slow, hackable, and impossible to maintain. We build WordPress differently: custom lightweight themes, only the plugins you need, and bilingual Arabic/English content management that editors actually enjoy using.
Every build is performance-tuned (sub-2-second loads, verified Core Web Vitals), hardened against the attacks that target WordPress daily, and structured for SEO from the URL architecture up. Corporate WordPress sites start at SAR 1,500; WooCommerce stores and custom plugin development are quoted against a written scope.

Questions Saudi clients ask us most.
How much does a WordPress website cost in Saudi Arabia?
Custom WordPress builds at Safwa Web start at SAR 1,500 for a bilingual corporate site with a hand-coded theme. WooCommerce stores and sites with custom plugins typically range from SAR 1,500 to SAR 10,000.
Why is custom WordPress better than a purchased theme?
Purchased themes carry 90% unused code, which makes them slow and enlarges the attack surface. A custom theme loads only what your site uses — faster Core Web Vitals, better rankings, and far fewer security incidents.
Can WordPress handle Arabic and English properly?
Yes, when configured correctly: linked Arabic/English content, RTL admin and frontend, Arabic-aware search, and automatic hreflang output. This bilingual setup is standard in every build we ship.
Do you maintain and update WordPress sites?
Yes — maintenance plans from SAR 500/month cover core and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime and malware monitoring, and small content changes. Every build also includes 30 days of free post-launch support.
Can you fix or take over an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We start with an audit of the theme, plugins, performance, and security, then give you a written plan: targeted fixes where the foundation is sound, or a rebuild quote where it isn't.
