Better Argument: Editorial Magazine Platform

The Institute for Classical Dialogue wanted a digital home for its magazine that felt as considered as its essays: editorial typography, clear categories, a writers directory, and commerce for the inaugural print issue, without the generic look of off-the-shelf magazine themes.

What we built

A custom publishing platform built around long-form reading: a taxonomy-driven blog across Technology, Culture, Politics, and Economics, individual writer profiles, a store for subscriptions and issue preorders, and a donation flow, all in a classical aesthetic that matches the publication's intellectual tone.

Tepco KSA2026

TEPCO KSA: Bilingual Manufacturer Platform

TEPCO KSA is a Saudi manufacturer of low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems, selling into a demanding technical audience: SEC and utility procurement engineers, EPC contractors on megaprojects, and industrial buyers who judge a supplier's credibility in under two minutes and read in both English and Arabic. The company needed a site that could carry that scrutiny — fully bilingual with genuine right-to-left parity rather than a translated afterthought, specification-dense enough to satisfy engineers, and distinct from the interchangeable corporate-blue template every competitor uses — all without overstating its credentials.

Y/DIRECTION2026

Y/DIRECTION: Bilingual Agency Platform

Y/DIRECTION launched as a Cairo-born creative and strategy agency positioning itself as "the questioning agency" — a promise a conventional agency website would immediately undercut. It needed a site that demonstrated the thesis rather than asserting it: Arabic and English carried as equals with genuine RTL rather than a mirrored translation, a deliberately small page count instead of the twenty-page agency convention, and enough editorial craft to survive prospects who judge a partner in under a minute.

OSSOS2026

OSSOS: Plustown

Plus-size people in the Middle East had no dedicated, culturally-aware space of their own. Mainstream social platforms are English-first rather than RTL-native, and are rarely safe or affirming for this community. OSSOS set out to build the region's first bilingual plus-size community — which meant a product that is Arabic-first and RTL-native from the ground up, safety-critical by design, and equally at home on web and on mobile.
