Should we build native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) suits most business apps and saves 30–40% of budget. Fully native makes sense for graphics-heavy, hardware-intensive or platform-specific experiences. We recommend based on your roadmap, not our preference.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks. We deliver in sprints with testable builds from week two or three, so you can validate with real users long before launch.

Can you build Arabic-language websites and apps?

Yes. We design and develop full right-to-left Arabic experiences alongside English, including bilingual content management and Arabic typography done properly.

Do you integrate UAE payment gateways?

Yes. We integrate regional gateways and payment methods popular in the Emirates, alongside international providers like Stripe.
