Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?

Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.

What hours will you be available to us in Medina?

My working day lands at 07:00–16:00 in your time, which is roughly 7 hours inside a normal Medina working day. In practice you can raise something in the morning and have it answered the same morning, and a scheduled call is easy to place at a civilised hour for both of us.

Will the site actually rank in Medina search results?

The build handles what is technically controllable: crawlable HTML, correct headings, structured data, fast pages, a clean sitemap and Search Console set up on day one. Ranking also depends on your competitors, your domain's age and the links pointing at you, which no developer controls. Anyone guaranteeing a position is guessing or lying.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?

Thirty days of snag fixes are included after launch at no extra cost — anything that does not work as specified gets fixed. Beyond that there are monthly plans for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. They are optional and cancellable; a site handed over properly does not require a retainer to keep running.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

What happens if I am not happy with the result?

Work is delivered in milestones against a written scope, and you review each one on a staging URL before it is paid for. If the delivered milestone does not match the scope, it gets corrected before anything moves forward. That structure exists so disagreement is resolved at the stage it happens rather than at the end when it is expensive.

Do I need to provide the content and images?

Content, yes — you know your business and I do not. I will restructure and edit what you send so it reads for the web, and I will tell you where a section is missing. Photography is worth paying a local photographer for; stock images of people in offices are recognisable as stock and quietly cost you credibility.

Responsive web design and development in Medina

Responsive is not a feature to add at the end. A layout designed at 1440px and squeezed down produces a phone experience that technically works and practically loses enquiries — tap targets too close together, a form that fights the keyboard, and a call button below three screens of hero image. For Medina businesses, quoted in SAR from $80, typically live in 3 days.

What responsive web design and development includes for a Medina business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 3 days.

Mobile-first layouts designed at 360px and widened, rather than desktop layouts compressed
Fluid type and spacing scales so nothing is pinned to a handful of arbitrary breakpoints
Tap targets at 24px minimum with real spacing between them, per WCAG 2.2
Images served as AVIF and WebP with correct srcset and explicit width and height attributes
Forms with correct input types and autocomplete, so phone keyboards behave
Tables and wide content that scroll inside their own container instead of breaking the page
Tested on a real handset over mobile data, not only in a resized desktop browser
Core Web Vitals verified in the field after launch, including Cumulative Layout Shift

The terms for a Saudi client

Starting price	From $80, quoted and invoiced in SAR
Typical timeline	3 days once content is supplied
Tax position	VAT at 15%, reverse-charged on imported services
Data protection	the Personal Data Protection Law enforced by SDAIA — resolved by the PDPL restricts transfers abroad, so the DPA records the safeguards and the purpose limitation in writing
Payment rails available	Stripe, HyperPay, Moyasar, and mada for domestic cards
My day in Medina time	07:00–16:00 — about 7 hours of overlap

Why this matters for Saudi Arabia specifically

mada is not optional. A Saudi checkout that only accepts Visa and Mastercard loses a large share of domestic buyers at the payment step, and that single integration decision moves conversion more than anything on the product page.

Why Medina sites are built to be edited by you

A site you cannot update is a site that decays. Prices go stale, staff leave, the opening hours are wrong for six months. So the parts of a Medina build that change often — text, images, prices, opening hours, team members — are editable by you without touching code or paying me.

That is a design decision with a cost: it takes longer to build an editable block than a hard-coded one. It is worth it because the alternative is a maintenance dependency that benefits me and not you, and a developer whose income depends on you being unable to change your own opening hours is not aligned with your interests.

Healthcare and clinics in Medina

Clinics carry a compliance weight most businesses do not. Appointment forms collect health information, which is a special category under Personal Data Protection Law enforced by SDAIA, and it cannot be emailed to a generic inbox or written to a plain-text log. That constraint has to shape the build rather than be bolted onto it afterwards.

Beyond compliance the deciding factor is reassurance: practitioner names, registrations a patient can verify, honest pricing, and what actually happens at a first appointment. Anxiety is why people delay booking, and a site that reduces it outperforms one that merely looks modern.

A redesign that quietly deleted the rankings

The classic disaster: a new site launches, looks far better, and organic enquiries fall off a cliff within a fortnight. The cause is almost always identical — the URLs changed and nothing was redirected, so every page that had accumulated years of authority now returns a 404.

Preventing it is a redirect map built before launch: every old URL to its closest new equivalent with a 301, and anything without an equivalent pointed at the nearest relevant page rather than the homepage. If your Medina site is being redesigned by anyone, ask to see that map. If it does not exist, that is the entire risk in one document.

What I am not claiming about Medina

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Medina
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Medina specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
