What I do
One obsession: digital experiences that convert.
Intuitive, elegant interfaces grounded in research. I map user journeys, wireframe flows, and design systems that make complex products feel effortless.

Modern, responsive, animated websites hand-built with Next.js, React and TailwindCSS. Obsessive performance budgets — every site scores green on Core Web Vitals.
From AED 12,000
Logos, color systems, typography and digital brand guidelines that make your business unmistakable — designed to flex from favicon to billboard.
From AED 7,500
Get found on Google, ChatGPT, and the map. Structured data, snippet-ready answers, Dubai-focused local ranking, and Arabic-English keyword strategies.
From AED 4,500
Transform outdated websites into modern, high-performance experiences. I audit what exists, keep what works, and rebuild the rest to award-level standards.
From AED 8,000

Kind Words
“Shijina gave us a website that feels like walking into our lobby. Direct revenue doubled in one quarter — our OTA commission bill tells the story.”
Answers, upfront
A custom website by Shijina Jalal starts from AED 12,000 (~USD 3,300) for a designed-and-built marketing site. Brand identity starts at AED 7,500, UI/UX engagements at AED 9,000, and full revamps at AED 8,000. Every project receives a fixed, itemized quote after a free discovery call — no hourly billing, no surprises.
Most projects launch in 3 to 8 weeks. A landing page takes about 3 weeks, a full marketing site 4–6 weeks, and a complex platform or e-commerce build 6–8 weeks. You get a milestone timeline on day one with weekly preview links.
Every project includes UX strategy, custom design in Figma, a hand-coded Next.js build, scroll-driven animation, on-page SEO with structured data (schema), Core Web Vitals optimization, bilingual Arabic/English-ready architecture, and 30 days of post-launch support.
Yes. Every build ships with semantic HTML, JSON-LD structured data, and Core Web Vitals in the green. AEO work adds snippet-ready FAQ content so AI search engines quote you directly, and GEO adds Dubai-specific keywords, LocalBusiness schema, and Google Business Profile optimization so you rank in the local map pack.
Absolutely. I design full Arabic-first layouts — not just translated text — with proper RTL mirroring, Arabic type pairing, and hreflang SEO so each language ranks independently. This very site switches between English and Arabic with one tap.
Next.js and React for builds, TailwindCSS for styling, GSAP and Lenis for animation, Three.js/WebGL for 3D, and Figma for design. Everything is hand-coded — no templates, no page builders, no bloated themes.
Yes. Care plans start at AED 900/month and cover updates, uptime monitoring, content edits, monthly performance reports, and priority same-day support. Most clients stay on a care plan — it keeps their site fast and rankings climbing.
I am based in Dubai, UAE, and work with clients across the GCC, Europe, and North America. Dubai clients can meet in person over coffee; international clients get the same experience over video calls across overlapping time zones (GST, UTC+4).
