Web Development Company in Cairo

Cost tracks scope. A marketing website covers ten to fifteen bilingual pages with CMS, RTL audit, and Core Web Vitals targets met on Cairo mobile networks. A mid-sized e-commerce build adds Next.js plus a headless Shopify or Salla, a Laravel backend, Fawry and Paymob checkout, COD reconciliation, and Arabic and English catalogues. Enterprise platforms (banking portals, ministry surfaces, large publishers) add strong authentication, accessibility documentation, and dedicated infrastructure. We quote fixed-fee in EGP with a refreshed USD shadow rate.

Direction is a first-class design token, not an afterthought. We design and prototype in both directions from day one, set the document direction at the layout root, mirror padding, margin, border-radius, and icon orientation via logical CSS properties (margin-inline-start, padding-block-end), and audit every component (carousels, calendars, breadcrumbs, form validation messages) for direction-specific behaviour. Typography uses Arabic fonts paired against compatible Latin partners (Cairo with Inter; Tajawal with Plus Jakarta Sans; IBM Plex Sans Arabic with IBM Plex Sans). Eastern Arabic numerals versus Western numerals is a locale toggle, not a hard switch. RTL bugs that ship on most Egyptian sites (broken bidirectional input, mirrored chevrons pointing the wrong way, modal close buttons stuck in LTR position) are caught in our standard QA pass.

Both, deliberately. Egyptian Arabic dialect is the working register for marketing copy, hero sections, product descriptions, onboarding, and social, because that is what Cairo and Alexandria readers actually speak. Modern Standard Arabic is the right register for legal pages, terms of service, government-facing notices, banking disclosures, and formal communications. Translating Gulf MSA content into Egyptian Arabic without a dialect pass reads as foreign and hurts conversion measurably. We work with Cairo-based copywriters and SEO specialists who keyword-research in Egyptian dialect specifically (people search ezzay versus kayfa, da versus haza), and we ship a content style guide that documents which register applies to which surface.

We treat Cairo mobile 4G with packet loss as the baseline, not US fibre. That means AVIF and WebP images with PNG fallback, code-split bundles under 150KB on the initial route, server-side rendering or static generation for content pages, edge caching at Cloudflare or CloudFront POPs that have strong Egyptian routing, and lazy loading for everything below the fold including the Facebook and YouTube embeds that dominate Egyptian publisher pages. We profile Largest Contentful Paint on real Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat 4G connections, not Lighthouse mobile presets. Sites typically ship with LCP under 2.5s and INP under 200ms on those real conditions, which puts them ahead of most Egyptian competitors.

Yes. Egypt''s Disability Rights Law 10/2018 (Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) imposes accessibility obligations on public and private digital services, and MCIT has published guidance pointing implementers toward WCAG 2.1 AA. Our standard accessibility pass includes semantic HTML, keyboard navigation testing, focus management, contrast ratios at AA minimum, ARIA labelling for Arabic and English interactive components, screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver against both languages, and Arabic alt text on imagery. Government and banking clients receive a documented conformance report suitable for procurement and inspection. We do not ship overlays as a substitute for actual accessibility work because they fail real audits.

AWS me-south-1 (Bahrain) is our default for backend and origin storage, with Cloudflare or CloudFront handling edge caching across MENA POPs. Latency from Cairo to Bahrain typically sits at 30 to 60 ms, which is good enough for most workloads. For ministries and CBE-regulated clients that require Egyptian residency, we deploy origin into Telecom Egypt or Raya Data Center facilities and keep only edge cache outside the country. Static assets ship from CDN, images route through a transformation service (Cloudflare Images or imgproxy on our own infrastructure), and analytics goes to a self-hosted Plausible or Matomo deployment when GA4 is a Law 151/2020 problem. Residency decisions are documented in the architecture record and the data processing agreement.

Yes. Fawry web checkout (Pay-at-Fawry code generation, FawryPay hosted checkout, FawryPay JavaScript SDK) is our default cash-in plus card flow, used because the 200,000-outlet agent network closes the gap for unbanked customers who still drive a large share of Egyptian e-commerce. Paymob and Accept handle card, wallet, and Instapay handoffs through their hosted iframe or full API integration depending on PCI scope. We also integrate Kashier, PayTabs Egypt, and ValU for BNPL, with COD reconciliation against Aramex, Bosta, and Mylerz courier callbacks. PCI DSS scope is minimised through hosted fields or tokenisation; we do not route raw PANs through client infrastructure unless the brief explicitly requires it and the merchant holds the right PCI level.

MCIT publishes design and technical guidelines for ministry and quasi-government surfaces (covering bilingual content, accessibility, identity and branding consistency, and security baselines). Our government engagements align to those guidelines and to Digital Egypt 2030 service patterns where Mwaten Misr or Smart Government integrations are in scope. Accessibility is documented at WCAG 2.1 AA against Disability Rights Law 10/2018, security baselines follow MCIT and EG-CERT guidance plus owasp standards, and data residency stays inside Egyptian or approved infrastructure as the client''s legal team specifies. Every government build ships with a conformance report, a privacy notice in Egyptian Arabic and English, and a documented incident response plan that names MCIT and EG-CERT as escalation paths.
