We build on Next.js by default and say so when another option fits better. | | Next.js + headless CMS | WordPress | Website builder (Wix, Squarespace) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Page speed | Fastest: pages are pre-rendered and served from a CDN | Depends on theme, plugins and hosting | Good for small sites, limited control | | Editing content | Structured CMS fields for non-technical editors | Familiar editor, very flexible | Simple drag-and-drop | | SEO and structured data | Full control of metadata, schema and rendering | Good with plugins, needs upkeep | Basic, limited schema control | | Arabic and right-to-left | Designed in from the start | Possible with the right theme | Varies by template | | Custom design and motion | Anything the brand needs, including 3D | Limited by the theme | Limited to templates | | Maintenance | Few moving parts, no plugin updates | Regular plugin and security updates | Handled by the platform | | Best for | Companies where the website is a sales channel | Content-heavy sites that publish daily | Very small sites on a tiny budget | ## How we work 01. **Discover** — We map the problem, the users and the numbers that matter. 02. **Design** — Flows, interfaces and prototypes you can click before we build. 03. **Build** — Weekly releases, real demos, clean and tested code. 04. **Launch** — Go-live, store submissions, analytics and training. 05. **Care** — Maintenance, monitoring and improvements long after launch. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does a website take? A marketing site usually takes one to eight weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content is ready. ### Can we edit the site ourselves? Yes. Every site ships with a headless CMS so your team can change text, images and pages without a developer. ### Do you build Arabic websites? Yes. We build bilingual English and Arabic sites with right-to-left layouts. Our [Arabic website checklist](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/arabic-website-rtl-checklist) lists what we check. ### Will the site rank on Google? Every site is built with technical SEO, structured data and fast loading as standard. Ranking also depends on your content and competition, and we can help with both. ### Do you redesign existing websites? Yes. We audit the current site, keep what works and rebuild the rest. ### How much does a website cost? In Oman, a custom-designed company website starts from OMR 250 in one language and from OMR 650 bilingual with a CMS and integrations. A one-page or template site starts from OMR 50, and a web portal with logins and data from OMR 1,300. We quote a fixed price after a short discovery call. See [website cost in Oman](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/website-cost-oman). ### How do payments work? We agree a fixed price in OMR after discovery, so the cost is known before the build starts. Payment is in stages tied to design approval, launch and handover. ### Who owns the website when it is finished? You do. The code, the domain and the hosting accounts are in your company's name. ### What does it cost to run the website after launch? Domain, hosting, business email and an optional monthly care plan. Hosting on Vercel or your own cloud is billed at cost. The care plan covers monitoring, updates and small changes. ### Do you work with companies outside Muscat? Yes. We are based in Muscat and work with companies across Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Discovery workshops happen in Muscat or online, and each weekly release goes to a preview link you can open from anywhere.
