Case Study: The British Museum creates a fast, multilingual Arabic website with ExtraDigital

The British Museum launches 100+ page Arabic website with ExtraDigital

The British Museum approached ExtraDigital to create an Arabic version of their website. Their challenge was that their existing CMS did not support Arabic characters well, causing issues with menus and navigation for the right-to-left language.

ExtraDigital developed the Arabic website, adapting over 100 pages by reversing the design layout and adjusting styling to accommodate the longer Arabic words. They later upgraded the site to match the Museum's 2012 redesign, optimizing it for fast page load speeds which earned an A rating. ExtraDigital continues to maintain the Arabic content, leveraging their multilingual expertise and Arabic-speaking staff.
