What the Arabic English website includes

Webnaa's prices start from SAR 39 a month, and every other site is priced in the price calculator. This guide covers the configuration we recommend to most businesses: a static business website of up to five pages where every page exists twice: once in Arabic, laid out right to left, and once in English, laid out left to right. A language switch links each page to its twin. In practice that means up to ten page versions on a single domain.

The full specification and calculator prices, as of October 2026:

Feature	Included? / detail
Monthly price	SAR 189, paid in advance (there is no monthly payment)
Every 6 months	SAR 1,134
Yearly price (10% off)	SAR 2,041 (save SAR 227)
Setup fee	None
Pages	Up to 5; a page holds up to 6 sections (more counts as two pages)
Languages	Arabic and English, every page in both
Domain	Your own domain, registered in your name (premium domains not included)

Fast, mobile-friendly design	Included
WhatsApp button and direct call number	Included
Search-engine setup and Google connection	Included

Simple edit after design approval	SAR 25 per request
New page after launch	Its calculator price: SAR 22 a month per bilingual page, added to your subscription
From year two	The base only: SAR 39 a month (SAR 234 every 6 months or SAR 421 a year)
Ownership	Optional: buy the site for SAR 2,721 (value SAR 2,041 + independence fee SAR 680)
Cancellation and upgrades	Cancel renewal or upgrade any time, no cancellation fee

One row matters most: there is no admin panel, so after approval every change is a request to Webnaa. If you want to edit the site yourself, that is what the WordPress website subscription at SAR 324 a month for five bilingual pages is for.

Why we recommend a bilingual website

The reason is simple: it is the lowest-cost way to cover both languages across five pages. Many businesses in Saudi Arabia sell to Arabic-speaking customers while dealing with English-speaking residents, foreign suppliers or international head offices. The step up from a one-language site is SAR 189 instead of SAR 139 a month for a complete second version of every page.

Some typical cases where the second language pays its way:

When it is the wrong choice

• Your audience reads one language. The 5 page business website covers the same five pages in one language for SAR 139 a month, and you can add the second language later.
• You want to edit the site yourself. A WordPress site gives you a dashboard, at SAR 324 a month for the same 5 bilingual pages. Our guide on how many pages a website needs helps you count.
• One page is enough. A website with your own domain of a single page costs less; you will find its price, in one language or two, in the price calculator.
• You need a store, bookings or online payment. These are quoted separately in writing before work starts.

Bilingual vs one language vs WordPress

The option below differs only in the second language. The option above differs in who edits the site: it adds a WordPress dashboard.

Is the second language worth the difference?

Paid yearly, two languages cost SAR 2,041 instead of SAR 1,501; paid every 6 months, SAR 1,134 instead of SAR 834. Would a single extra client a year, who found you through the English pages, cover that? For a business that deals with companies or expatriates, the answer is often yes. If you are not sure yet, start with one language and add the second when you need to; the new price applies from the next billing period.

When WordPress makes more sense

Moving up means SAR 3,499 a year instead of SAR 2,041. It pays off when you change prices, offers or photos often enough that paying per edit adds up (24 requests a year at SAR 25 is already SAR 600). Otherwise, the static bilingual site does the job for SAR 189 a month instead of SAR 324.

Your 12-month cost, worked out

There is no setup fee, so your first payment covers 6 months or a year. Three ways to pay for year one, and what follows each:

How you pay	What you pay in year one	After year one
Every 6 months	SAR 1,134 twice	You stay a subscriber and pay only the base: SAR 39 a month (SAR 234 every 6 months)
One year upfront, 10% off	SAR 2,041, saving SAR 227	You stay a subscriber and pay only the base: SAR 39 a month (SAR 421 a year)
Buy the site	SAR 2,721: the site's value of SAR 2,041 plus the SAR 680 independence fee, including a year of hosting and the domain in your name	The site is yours: move it and renew hosting and the domain yourself, or stay with Webnaa for hosting and care at SAR 421 a year

How the purchase price works: the site's value is one year at 10% off, SAR 2,041, and the independence fee is 30% of the undiscounted year, SAR 680, which makes SAR 2,721. As a subscriber you can buy at any time: you complete the site's value, with what you have paid counting towards it, then pay the fee, so after a full prepaid year (SAR 2,041) only the SAR 680 fee remains. The price calculator shows the figures for any configuration.

A realistic year with extras

Say you pay the year upfront, add one page after launch for a new service line, and send six simple edit requests during the year.

• Subscription: SAR 2,041
• One new bilingual page: SAR 22 a month, added to your subscription at its calculator price
• Six simple edits: 6 × SAR 25 = SAR 150
• Year one total: SAR 2,191 plus the new page in your subscription.

Not on the list because they cost nothing: fixing faults caused by the build, support, security updates, backups and answers to your questions.

What a well-built Arabic English website gets right

A bilingual site needs clear signals about which page is in which language and which way it reads. These points come from Google Search Central and the W3C, and you can check most of them yourself on the preview link:

1. Separate URLs for each language. Google recommends a different URL for each language version of a page. Test it: open the English page's address on another device; you should land on the English version.
2. One language per page. Google works out a page's language from its visible content, not from code such as the lang attribute. Keep the text and the navigation of each page in one language.
3. A switch that leads to the matching page. On the Arabic services page, the English link should open the English services page, not the home page. Google suggests linking each page to its other language versions.
4. No automatic redirects by language. Google advises against redirecting visitors based on the language you think they speak, because it can stop people and crawlers from reaching every version.
5. Direction set in the markup. The W3C recommends dir="rtl" on the html element of right-to-left pages, so the direction does not depend on the stylesheet. On the Arabic pages, the menu and text should start from the right.
6. Language versions linked for search. hreflang annotations tell Google that two pages are versions of the same content. Google ignores them unless both pages point to each other.

The site includes search-engine setup and a Google connection. Beyond that, nobody can honestly promise you a position in search results; what moves you up over time is useful, accurate text in both languages. For the wider planning questions, see our guide to bilingual website design.

Preparing your content in two languages

On this site, work starts when your content is complete, and the 24-hour preview deadline runs from then; delays caused by missing content do not count. So have both versions ready when you subscribe.

A checklist before you send anything

• Page map in both languages. For example: Home and الرئيسية, About and من نحن, Services and خدماتنا, Projects and مشاريعنا, Contact and تواصل معنا.
• Write each version for its reader. Same facts, natural wording in each language, never a word-for-word copy.
• Fix your English business name. Pick one spelling and use it everywhere: site, logo, domain, social accounts.
• Keep a service glossary. List every service in both languages so one service never appears under three names.
• Format contact details for both readers. Show the phone number with the +966 country code on the English pages, and write the address so someone who cannot read Arabic can find you.
• Check your images. Photos or banners with Arabic text baked in need an English version, or a replacement without text.

What happens after you subscribe

Ownership, cancellation and add-ons

The site becomes yours when you buy it

Buying is optional and costs SAR 2,721, including a year of hosting and the domain in your name. Depending on the site, you receive its files, text and content, your images, its data, the admin access you need, your domain and what is needed to move it to another host. Once the included year ends or you move, hosting, domain renewal, maintenance, backups and updates are yours. Staying with Webnaa afterwards is optional, for hosting and care at SAR 421 a year.

Cancelling is not owning

You can cancel any time with no cancellation fee. Renewal stops, the site stays live to the end of the paid period, and you never owe the rest of the year. On cancellation you can ask for a copy of your content (text and images); the site files are handed over when you buy the site. To take the files, buy the site as shown above. Your domain stays yours either way: if you cancel without buying the site, Webnaa hands it over free, and renewals become yours.

If you prepaid the year and ask for a refund after launch, the months used are charged at the full monthly price with no discount, a started month counts as a full month, and the rest is refunded. Example: you paid SAR 2,041 and ask for a refund 5 months and a few days in, so 6 months are charged: 6 × SAR 189 = SAR 1,134, and SAR 907 comes back to you. Read the cancellation and refund policy and the terms and conditions for the full wording.

Adding pages or upgrading

A new bilingual page after launch is added to your subscription at its calculator price, SAR 22 a month, or that monthly price × 12 once if you have bought the site. You can move to WordPress at any time, with the new price from the next billing period. Large new sections, a full redesign, a store, bookings, online payment, complex forms and integrations are quoted in writing before work starts.
