YMS Studio is a Cairo-based web design company that builds custom, bilingual (Arabic / English) websites from scratch — no Wix template, no monthly hostage fee. You own the code, the design, the domain, and the search rankings. Six to twelve weeks from kickoff to live. Proof: IGBS, a corporate site and 17,000-record system, four years live and counting.
Most "web design" in Egypt today is one of two things: a freelancer dropping your logo into a Wix or WordPress template, or a Facebook page you treat as your website. Both feel cheap and fast. Both are rented. With a template you pay every month, you can't change what the platform won't let you change, and your site looks like a thousand others. With a Facebook page, Meta owns the audience — and an Egyptian business can lose a page it spent years building overnight, with no appeal and no export.
A custom website is the opposite: it's an asset you own outright. Your design, your code, your domain, your data, your search rankings — all yours, on day one, with nothing to pay monthly to keep it alive. That's the entire difference between renting your presence and owning it. We only build the second kind.
"Why would I pay for a website when I have a Facebook page?" Because the day Facebook disables the page, the website is the only thing still standing — and it's yours.
— The question every Egyptian owner asks, answered honestlyA custom site earns its cost in the places a template can't reach: a design that's yours alone, true bilingual structure, and speed that holds up on an Egyptian mobile network. These three are where deals are won or lost.
Built from your brand, not a marketplace theme. The layout, motion, and type are designed once, for you — so the site signals a serious company, not a side project.
Native right-to-left Arabic with proper typography and a persistent language toggle. Each language gets its own SEO, so you rank in Arabic and English search alike.
Hand-built front-end, optimized images, and clean structured data from day one — so Google indexes it, AI engines cite it, and it loads fast where your customers actually are.
We don't ask you to trust a portfolio of mockups. IGBS — an international IP and business firm — runs its corporate website and a 17,000-record internal system that YMS designed and built, and it's been live and earning for four years. That's the standard: a site that isn't just launched and forgotten, but owned, maintained, and still working years later. The same bar applies whether you need a five-page brand site or a full operations platform behind it.
A beautiful website is the front door. Behind it, most Egyptian businesses still run on WhatsApp, Excel, and memory. YMS is unusual for a web design studio: we also build the internal systems the website connects to — booking, CRM, patient and buyer portals, dashboards — so the front-end and the back-office are one owned platform, not two disconnected tools. If you only need the website now, we build it so the system can plug in later without a rebuild.
It's priced to scope, not a fixed menu. A freelancer's template site runs 3,000–15,000 EGP — but you rent the template and own nothing. A custom, bilingual site built from scratch and owned outright sits in a different bracket. First step is free: we send a tailored mockup, then scope the price on a call.
Templates and Facebook pages are rented — you build on someone else's platform, pay monthly, and can be shut down overnight. A custom site is owned: the code, domain, data, and rankings are yours. In Egypt, a disabled Facebook page can wipe out years of customers with no recourse — owning the asset is the whole point.
Yes — bilingual EN/AR is native to how we build, not a plugin. True right-to-left (RTL) Arabic layouts, proper Arabic type (Cairo), a persistent language toggle, and separate SEO per language so you rank in both Arabic and English search.
Most sites go live in 6–12 weeks, and you see a real mockup before any build starts. You own everything on day one — code, design files, domain, hosting — with no per-seat licence and no monthly hostage fee. Leave YMS anytime and nothing breaks.
