Problem

Arabic news sites need RTL-native layouts, dense editorial navigation, and SEO-friendly content structure — most themes treat RTL as an afterthought.

Solution

Custom WordPress theme built RTL-first: layout rules, mega-menu navigation, breaking news ticker, and Schema.org structured data.

Impact

Live production site serving Arabic-language news. Demonstrates ability to design for non-Latin reading systems and content-heavy editorial workflows.

Features

  • RTL-first design system
  • Mega-menu navigation for editorial density
  • Breaking news ticker
  • Custom WordPress theme from scratch
  • Schema.org structured data

Decisions

  • RTL as a layout foundation, not a CSS flag — affects grid direction, spacing, and component orientation.
  • Dense navigation for editorial scanning, not single-page minimalism.
  • Structured data for search visibility in Arabic-language results.

Next improvements

  • Add analytics data
  • Add article templates
  • Document RTL system for reuse
