What makes the Arab world different and why should you spend time optimizing for these users?
Right to left designs and layouts
As you probably already know, Arabs read from right to left instead of left to right, which is how English speakers read. This means that when it comes to Arabic websites and applications the UI needs to be flipped so Arabs can follow the various elements of the website from right to left and top to bottom. This is in essence similar to looking at an English website (LTR) in a mirror. Though this process may sound relatively straight forward you would be surprised how often right to left website conversion results in significant problems with the users experience when not done properly.
Arabic fonts
Arabic is a language known for its beauty and depth as one of the oldest languages spoken today. That said, due to limited knowledge and understanding of Arabic scripts and fonts impact on usability in the Arab world there are many cases where websites are using Arabic text that is hard to read or understand. It is essential the Arabic fonts used on your website be optimized so the widest array of Arab users can understand it.
Trust & risk aversion
Arabs tend to be much more risk averse than many other cultures around the world, especially when comparing them to American or British consumers. This means that extra attention must be put towards developing trust with Arabs in the design of your website and in it’s user interface.
Calls to action
Though it may not be a traditional part of user experience the content of your website is essential to getting Arab users to take the desired steps towards a particular action. Using the right calls to action in the right places on your website can have a significant impact on it’s ability to drive sales, leads, or some other type of action.
Understanding that you need to get Arabs back to the website multiple times
Due to the risk aversion mentioned above it’s essential to understand that in many cases Arabs won’t convert the very first time they come to your website. Usually Arabs need to have multiple touch points with your website or brand before they are ready to make a purchase. As a result of this, strategies should be put in place in the UI and UX of the website that work towards getting a user to come back multiple times.
