Question 1

How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope, but working with me costs a fraction of an agency: I cover the full cycle — design, code, store release and growth — accelerated by AI tooling. A typical MVP ships in weeks, not months. Message me on WhatsApp with your idea and you'll get a clear, fixed quote after one short call.

Question 2

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes — one React Native codebase that ships to both the App Store and Google Play. I handle the full release process on both stores myself, including in-app purchases, push notifications and review submissions. Tafrud, my e-learning platform, is live on both stores today.

Question 3

React Native or Flutter — which do you use?

Accepted Answer

React Native. It shares the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem with the web, so your app and website can share logic, developers and momentum — which makes the whole product cheaper to build and maintain. For almost every business app, the result is indistinguishable from native.

Question 4

Can you also handle SEO and marketing, not just development?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what makes me different. I run SEO, Google Analytics (GA4), Looker Studio reporting and paid campaigns for six automotive brands in Saudi Arabia. I don't hand you a website and leave — I can run the strategy that fills it with qualified leads.

Question 5

Do you take product management roles, or only hands-on development?

Accepted Answer

Both. I'm at my best owning a digital product across the whole cycle — strategy, scoping, budgets, vendor and team leadership, then the analytics that steer it. Because I've personally done every seat (design briefs, code, store releases, campaigns), teams can't lose me in translation and agencies can't oversell me. Hands-on development stays on the table when it's the fastest path.

Question 6

Do you work in Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Arabic is my native language and English is fluent. I build Arabic/RTL interfaces properly and do Arabic SEO for the Saudi and Gulf markets — both the technical side and the content side.

Question 7

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Accepted Answer

I'm based in Riyadh with a transferable Iqama, available on-site or hybrid across Saudi Arabia — and I work remotely with clients worldwide. Most projects run perfectly over WhatsApp, email and short calls.

Most people build the productor run the marketing.I do both.
