Capabilities

What we do

Every capability is delivered by the same engineers who designed it — no hand-offs, no gaps.

Citizen & customer portals

Unified front doors over fragmented back-ends, with single sign-on and self-service.

Native mobile development

Fully native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) for performance-critical experiences.

Cross-platform development

Flutter and React Native with Expo — a single codebase honouring each platform's UX conventions.

Arabic-first design

Full RTL layout, Arabic typography, and bilingual content management built in from day one.

Device & offline capability

Camera document capture, biometric auth, push notifications, and offline-capable forms.

Mobile security

Certificate pinning, secure storage, and jailbreak/root detection — aligned with the OWASP Mobile Top 10.

Overview

A user's first encounter with your organisation is now the portal or the app. If it's slow, confusing, or doesn't work in Arabic, the rest of your transformation doesn't matter — they've already formed the verdict. We design portals and mobile apps that earn that first encounter.

Our portals are unified front doors over fragmented back-ends — single sign-on, self-service, and an experience that hides the org chart from the user. They sit on top of the integration layer rather than re-implementing it, so changes to internal systems don't break the citizen-facing surface.

Mobile is delivered with platform-appropriate technology: native Swift/Kotlin where performance and deep device integration matter, Flutter or React Native + Expo where a single team and shared codebase make more sense. Arabic-first RTL design and OWASP-aligned mobile security are built in, not retrofitted.

How we approach it

A repeatable shape, tuned to your work.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined shape — adjusted for scope, urgency, and the constraints we find on the ground.

  1. 01

    Map the journey

    Define the user journeys end-to-end, including the back-end systems they pass through.

  2. 02

    Design

    Wireframes and UX prototypes, Arabic-first from the start, validated with real users where possible.

  3. 03

    Build

    Native or cross-platform — chosen per project, not by dogma — with security and accessibility baked in.

  4. 04

    Release

    App Store and Play Store compliance, staged rollouts, and an update pipeline that doesn't depend on a hero engineer.

  5. 05

    Iterate

    Telemetry, A/B testing, and a maintenance cadence so the app keeps up with OS releases and user expectations.

Where it fits

Real shapes of work — not abstract use cases.

Patterns we deliver regularly, drawn from real engagements across the region.

Public Sector

National citizen portal

What you get

The outcomes worth paying for.

Arabic-first by design

Not a translation — RTL layout, Arabic typography, and bilingual content from the first wireframe.

Native-quality performance

Real device-grade performance — not the laggy hybrid feel that breaks user trust.

Secure to OWASP standards

Pinning, secure storage, jailbreak detection — security as a default, not a checkbox.

Built to evolve

Telemetry, governed releases, and a maintenance cadence so the app ages well.
