Designers-Den

Naming and identity in Arabic and Latin type

Designers-Den now trades as IITWares, a digital agency founded in 2010 and based in Jeddah. The studio works across web design, branding, marketing, mobile apps and custom software for organisations across Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf, and its local search work covers six cities. The branding practice builds naming and identity systems meant to hold up in both Arabic and Latin type, which matters for brands that appear in both scripts at once.

Websites engineered to pass Core Web Vitals

Web design and development is the largest part of the work. It covers fast, secure and scalable sites as well as content management system builds, which the studio says are engineered to pass Core Web Vitals. Arabic sites get particular attention. Right-to-left layouts are designed separately rather than mirrored from English versions, and the Arabic copy is written by Arabic writers, a point the studio presents as part of its knowledge of the local market rather than work translated from elsewhere.

Search, answer engines and bilingual content

The marketing side covers search engine optimisation, answer engine optimisation and presence in AI overviews, along with social media, in both Arabic and English. The studio runs local search work for clients across six Saudi cities, and says that work is carried out in both languages. The same bilingual approach runs through its social media and content, so a campaign can reach Arabic and English audiences from the same plan.

Enterprise software, mobile apps and Arabic-language AI

The software side builds portals, business tools and Arabic-language AI systems for large clients. The mobile team builds native iOS and Android apps as well as cross-platform builds, and takes each app through store approval. Support services cover hosting, maintenance, consulting and deployment, the ongoing work that keeps a site or application running after launch.

Public sector, university and industrial clients

Its public-sector clients include King Abdullah Medical City, Prince Mugrin University, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the Ministry of Health and Umm Al-Qura University. The company also groups its work by sector: industrial companies that need a website, CMS or mobile app, banks that need an Arabic-first interface with UI and UX work for right-to-left layouts, law firms that need a bilingual website, government bodies that need an Arabic platform, and education providers that need a platform and CMS.

Handover of code, design files and accounts

At the end of a project the studio hands over the code, design files, domain registration, hosting account and analytics, so the client holds those assets rather than depending on the agency to keep them. The studio reports more than 400 projects delivered since 2010 and more than 50 brands launched, figures it presents as its own record across the Kingdom.
