Industries We Serve
Who We Build For
We work with Lebanese businesses that have outgrown their current digital presence — or never had one that worked. Our clients span:
Hospitality & F&B
Restaurants, hotels, and catering brands that need a website as premium as their experience, with online reservation systems and bilingual menus.
Retail & E-commerce
Lebanese retail brands moving online, requiring a WooCommerce store that handles Arabic product pages, Lebanese payment gateways, and local SEO.
Professional Services
Law firms, clinics, financial advisors, and consultancies that need a credible digital presence to attract high-value clients in Beirut and the diaspora.
Real Estate & Construction
Property developers and architects who need project showcases, Arabic and English listing pages, and Google ranking for Beirut property searches.
NGOs & Education
Non-profits and educational institutions that need clear, accessible sites in both languages, with donation flows or enrollment systems.
If your business is in Lebanon and your website is not bringing you clients, that is the problem we solve.
How We Work
Our Process — From Idea to Results
Every MakeIdea project follows a disciplined 4-phase process:
Discovery (Week 1–2)
We start with your goals, your competitors, and your target audience. We research the keywords Lebanese customers use to find businesses like yours. Before we design anything, we know what the site needs to rank for and who it needs to convert.
Design & Architecture (Week 2–4)
Every page is structured for both the human visitor and the search engine. We build wireframes, agree on the content hierarchy, and design in your brand language — always bilingual-first, RTL-ready, mobile-first.
Build & Optimise (Week 4–7)
Development on a staging environment, with Core Web Vitals benchmarks hit before launch. We install and configure structured data (schema markup), set up your Google Business Profile, submit your sitemap, and confirm indexation before you go live.
Launch & Grow (Ongoing)
Post-launch, we monitor your Google Search Console, provide monthly SEO reports, and continuously publish new content to grow your organic traffic month over month.
Case Snapshots
Real Results for Lebanese Brands
Hospitality Group, Beirut
+40% direct enquiries
They came to us with a five-year-old website that loaded in 8 seconds on mobile and had zero presence on Google for their core service terms. Within three months of launching their redesigned site — fast, bilingual, with full local SEO — they appeared on page one for their target keywords.
Retail Brand, Beirut
Sold out in 10 days
Launching their first e-commerce store, they needed WooCommerce integrated with a Lebanese payment gateway, Arabic product pages, and Instagram Shopping integration. We delivered in six weeks, and their first collection sold out within 10 days of launch.
Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a professional website cost in Lebanon?
A standard business website typically ranges from $800 to $3,000 USD, depending on the number of pages, features, and integrations required. Custom e-commerce platforms or web applications can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after a free discovery call — no hidden costs.
How long does SEO take to show results in Lebanon?
Most businesses see measurable improvements in organic traffic within 3 to 6 months of starting a consistent SEO campaign. Highly competitive sectors like hospitality or real estate may take 6 to 12 months to reach the top 3 positions. We provide monthly reports so you see exactly what is improving and why.
Do you build websites in Arabic and English?
Yes — all our websites are fully bilingual with proper right-to-left (RTL) layout for Arabic. A website that only works in one language cuts your potential Lebanese audience in half. Bilingual sites also perform significantly better in local Google search.
What is AEO and why does it matter in 2026?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation — structuring your website so that AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity recommend your business when users ask relevant questions. MakeIdea is one of the few Lebanese agencies offering AEO as a dedicated service.
What industries do you serve in Beirut?
We work with hospitality, restaurants, retail, e-commerce, professional services, real estate, education, and NGOs across Lebanon. If you are a Lebanese business with a website that is not performing, we can help — regardless of sector.
Can you manage our Instagram and social media?
Yes. Our social media management service includes bilingual content creation in Arabic and English, scheduling, community management, hashtag strategy, and monthly analytics reports. We handle Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
Do you work with clients outside Beirut?
Absolutely. Our office is in Bir Hassan, Beirut, but we work with clients across Lebanon and remotely with Lebanese diaspora businesses in Europe, the Gulf, and beyond.
