The studio

A premium studio for the businesses people visit every day.

We design and build websites, digital menus, ordering experiences and custom systems, with social media management as a supporting service for businesses that want one partner for their online presence.

A great café, clinic or salon can still be let down online: by a slow site, awkward Arabic, or a template that looks like everyone else’s. BARQI exists to close that gap, with work as considered as the business behind it.

The name

Named after lightning.

BARQI is the Latin spelling of برقي, from the Arabic برق: lightning. The bolt that forms the tail of the Q is a quiet nod to it.

We like what the name asks of us: work that loads quickly, makes sense at a glance, and has enough spark to be remembered.

  1. برقbarq · lightning
  2. برقيbarqi · of lightning
  3. BARQIThe same name, in Latin letters

Principles

Four things every project is held to.

  1. Honest scope

    We recommend what your business needs, explain why, and quote it before work begins. If something isn’t worth building yet, we’ll say so.

  2. Design that earns trust

    Customers decide quickly whether to trust a business. Considered type, clear structure and careful detail let yours look as good as its service.

  3. Arabic and English as equals

    Both languages are designed from the start, with real right-to-left layouts and natural Arabic copy. Never an afterthought, never a plugin.

  4. Fast, light, built to last

    Pages that open quickly on mobile data, built cleanly so they stay easy to update and look after.

Who we work with

For businesses customers look up on a phone first.

We build for cafés, restaurants, local service businesses and growing brands that need a clear, fast digital presence. The same care applies wherever the business is based.

Process

Five clear steps, from first call to launch and beyond.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn your business, your customers and what the site has to do.

  2. 02

    Design

    We art-direct the look and structure. You review it before we build.

  3. 03

    Build

    Mobile-first, in English and Arabic, tested on real devices.

  4. 04

    Launch

    We connect your domain, go live and check everything works.

  5. 05

    Care

    Updates and improvements after launch, agreed up front.

Working with us

You work directly with the people who build it.

BARQI is a new studio, and we see that as an advantage. From the first call to launch, you deal directly with the people designing and building your project.

  1. No handovers

    The people you brief are the people who design and build. Nothing gets lost in between.

  2. No fixed packages

    We scope every project around what your business needs and quote it before any work begins.

  3. Room to grow

    Start with what you need now. Online ordering, menu management or a custom system can be scoped as its own project when the time is right.
