Build a stronger website
A site that gives the right impression in the first few seconds, explains what the business does, and makes the next step obvious. New builds and redesigns of sites that have stopped doing their job.

The working model
How Omar Halabi works with businesses
Most digital projects lose time and clarity in the layers between the client and the work. A brief is taken by one person, interpreted by a second, designed by a third and built by a fourth — and by the end, nobody in the room was in the original conversation.
I work the other way. You deal with the person responsible for the strategy, the design and the build — from the first meeting through to launch and after. On larger projects trusted specialists assist, but I remain the single accountable point of contact throughout.
Faster decisionsQuestions get answered by the person who can act on them, usually the same day.
Continuity from strategy to deliveryWhat was agreed in planning is what gets built, because the same person does both.
One accountable contactNo handovers to explain, no account layer to brief twice.
Fixed scope, fixed priceQuotes agreed in USD before work begins, with changes agreed before they're built.
Capabilities
What I help businesses do
Four outcomes that cover most of the work. Each has a dedicated page if you want the detail and the pricing.
Sell online
Online stores built on WooCommerce or Shopify, designed around how people actually shop on a phone — and set up with the payment methods customers in Lebanon and the GCC genuinely use.
Ecommerce development
Get found
A technically sound foundation search engines can understand, content structured around what customers actually search for, and increasingly the same discipline applied to the AI assistants people now ask instead.
SEO & search visibility
Build a stronger digital presence
Visual identity, digital strategy and the systems behind the website — dashboards, booking systems and internal tools — so the brand holds together everywhere a customer meets it.
All digital servicesApproach
How I approach the work
Three convictions that shape every project, and that decide most of the outcome before anything is designed.
Business first
Before anything visual happens, the question is what the website actually has to achieve — more enquiries, more orders, fewer phone calls, a more credible first impression. A site that looks current but answers none of that is an expense, not an asset.
One connected process
Strategy, design and development shouldn't live in separate silos. When they're handled by the same person, the decisions made in planning survive into the finished site instead of being reinterpreted twice on the way there.
Built for the real market
In this region your customer is on a phone, often on a connection that isn't fast, and more likely to send a WhatsApp message than fill in a form. Some businesses need English and Arabic to work equally well. Those realities shape the build from the first decision, not the last.

Three projects, all live. The strongest argument on this page is the one you can go and check yourself.

Location
Based in Beirut. Working across Lebanon and the GCC.
Working from Beirut means the market isn't something I research — it's the one I build in every week. Customers here reach for a phone before a laptop, message before they fill in a form, and judge a business by how the site behaves on a connection that isn't always fast.
That shapes practical decisions: mobile-first layouts, contact routes where a ready customer expects them, English and Arabic given equal weight where a brand needs both, and payment methods that actually work for local buyers rather than ones that only exist on paper.
The same working model travels. A good share of recent projects have been for clients outside Lebanon — across the GCC, Europe and the United States — run over calls, video and WhatsApp, with quotes fixed in USD wherever the business is based.
Client fit
Who I work with
The projects that tend to go well have something in common: a business that knows what it wants the website to do, and wants one person answerable for delivering it.
Established businesses with a dated website
The company has moved on and the site hasn't. A redesign that protects the content and rankings already earned, rather than starting from zero.
New companies that need to look credible immediately
Where the website is the first and often only impression — and has to carry the weight a track record would normally carry.
Ecommerce businesses
Stores where the difference between browsing and buying comes down to how the checkout behaves on a phone, and whether the payment method is one customers trust.
Lebanese businesses serving regional customers
Companies in Lebanon selling into the GCC or further, where the site is the whole shopfront for a customer who will never walk in.
Expertise
Insights from the work
Long-form guides on the questions clients ask most, written for this market specifically — because the honest answers weren't documented anywhere else.
