Bay Avenue is a prominent retail destination in Dubai, managed by Dubai Holding. The project involved creating a bilingual (Arabic and English) website on Webflow, migrating from an older platform to enhance performance, usability, and SEO. Additionally, the design templates were utilized for two other retail destinations, Bay Square and Souk Madinat Jumeirah, to ensure brand consistency across all three websites.

About the project
My role
In this project, I was responsible for developing the new websites from scratch on Webflow. I've used the existing Wordpress site and the existing brand assets as reference. I would enhance the design and functionality on the new version whenever it was possible.

Challenges
One of the major challenges was ensuring the website supported both English and Arabic seamlessly, which required careful consideration of RTL (Right-to-Left) design principles. Additionally, maintaining brand consistency across Bay Avenue, Bay Square, and Souk Madinat Jumeirah websites, while allowing each to retain its unique identity, was a complex task. Coordinating with the SEO team to address and implement their recommendations further added to the project's intricacies.
Solution
To overcome the challenges, I leveraged Webflow's localization features to handle the bilingual nature of the site efficiently. Custom coding was used to enhance the site's functionality, ensuring it met all the requirements of Dubai Holding. The design templates created for Bay Avenue were adapted to suit Bay Square and Souk Madinat Jumeirah, maintaining brand consistency while allowing for unique design elements for each site. Collaboration with the SEO team ensured that all SEO-related issues were addressed, improving the site's overall performance and search engine rankings.
