The Short Version
I build fast, SEO-ready websites and custom web applications for businesses in Lebanon and the GCC — clean code, mobile-first architecture and a technical foundation you own, built by the person you talk to.
Strategy, design and development — one person, one thread.
Built for Lebanon
Built for How Lebanese Businesses Actually Operate
Most of my clients run their business over WhatsApp, serve customers who browse on their phones, and sell to two audiences at once — people here in Lebanon and customers, family or diaspora abroad. A website that ignores that reality doesn't convert, no matter how good it looks.
Mobile First
Layouts, type and touch targets built for the phone screens your customers are actually on — not shrunk down from a desktop afterwards.
SEO Ready
A technical SEO foundation on every launch: clean semantic code, schema markup, optimised titles and compressed images.
Lebanon + GCC
Built to serve customers here and across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar — with quotes fixed in USD.
Bilingual Ready
English/Arabic architecture with proper RTL layout, a language switcher and correct hreflang when you need it — never bolted on later.
Fast Hosting
Hosting chosen to stay fast for visitors in Beirut and in Dubai — set up in your name, owned by you.
Direct Communication
One WhatsApp thread with the person actually building your site — and an architecture ready for English/Arabic content when you expand.
A website nobody can find or use isn't a website.
Speed, structure and clarity decide whether a visitor ever becomes a customer. Everything else is decoration on top of that.

Under the Hood
A Website Should Do More Than Look Good
Design gets attention. What keeps it working is everything underneath — and every build ships with analytics readiness, so you can see what's working from day one.
-
Structure
Clean semantic HTML, a sensible heading hierarchy, schema markup and accessible markup — the part search engines and screen readers both depend on.
-
Speed
Optimised images, caching and Core Web Vitals kept in check — because a slow site loses customers before the first scroll.
-
Search
Crawlable structure, optimised metadata and sensible internal linking — the technical foundation Google (and AI search) rewards.
-
Conversion
Clear hierarchy, obvious next steps, and WhatsApp or form contact exactly where a ready customer expects to find it.

Selected Work
Selected Web Development Projects
Real projects from the portfolio — built for businesses in Lebanon, Europe, the USA and beyond.
Every Website Has a Business Problem Behind It
None of these projects started with "make it look nice." They started with credibility to build, leads to generate, products to sell online, an audience abroad to reach, or a manual process to automate. The build is just how the solution shows up.
Where I Work
Based in Beirut. Building for Lebanon & the GCC.
In-person meetings happen in Beirut when they help; everything else runs over WhatsApp, calls and video — the same way most of my long-term client relationships already do. Timezones are close, quotes are in USD, and bilingual builds let one site serve both sides of the map.
Ground rules Five things every build here has to account for
-
Your customer arrives on a phone.
The build is optimised for mobile connections first — images, caching and layout included.
-
WhatsApp is where the deal closes.
Contact routes are built into the site, one tap from wherever a customer decides.
-
Hosting decides how Beirut and Dubai load.
Hosting is chosen for your actual audience — and registered in your name.
-
One codebase, two languages.
English/Arabic architecture with real RTL layout and hreflang, planned from the start.
-
You own everything at the end.
Domain, hosting, code and content stay yours — no lock-in, no per-user fees.

No Middlemen
Why Work Directly With the Developer?
Agencies do good work. But every extra layer between you and the person writing the code costs time, money and clarity.
