Web development in Peshawar
We build websites and online catalogues for Peshawar's traders, exporters, craft makers and manufacturers from our office in Islamabad, two hours away on the M-1. Sites that handle English, Urdu and Pashto correctly, and let a customer in Dubai or Riyadh order as easily as one in Hayatabad.

Web Development for Peshawar
Peshawar has always been a trading city. Dry fruit, handicrafts and Peshawari chappals move through its bazaars, and the Torkham crossing makes it a gateway for trade with Afghanistan and Central Asia. Much of that trade runs on phone calls, WhatsApp and relationships built over years. A website does not replace any of that. It gives it a catalogue, current prices and photographs a customer can check before they call, and a way to be found by the buyer who does not know you yet.
Language is the first technical problem. A Peshawar business may need English for exporters and online buyers, Urdu for customers across Pakistan, and Pashto for the audience closest to home. Urdu and Pashto both run right to left, but Pashto uses letters that Urdu does not, so a font chosen with only Urdu in mind can drop characters or render them wrongly. Customers also type product names in every spelling: badam, baadam and almonds are the same search. We build language switching, fonts and search that cope with all of it.
The second problem is distance. Many KP households have family working in the Gulf, and for plenty of Peshawar sellers the natural buyer is abroad, ordering dry fruit or gifts to be shipped out or delivered to relatives at home. That calls for clear prices, payment that works for a buyer outside Pakistan, and a checkout with the buyer in one country and the recipient in another. We deliver from Islamabad, two hours down the motorway, so meeting in Peshawar for the decisions that need it is realistic. We have no Peshawar office.

What is specific
Built for Peshawar
Three languages, set correctly
English, Urdu and Pashto each get a proper layout: left to right for English, right to left for Urdu and Pashto, with fonts checked against real Pashto text instead of assumed to cover it. Urdu gets Nastaliq with generous line spacing. Changing language keeps the visitor on the same product, and search engines are told which page is in which language.
Ordered from the Gulf, delivered at home
A buyer in Dubai sending dry fruit to family in Peshawar needs a checkout with two addresses, delivery options that make sense for each, and a way to pay from abroad. Which methods work for a buyer outside Pakistan depends on your gateway and your bank, so we confirm that before we build. Order confirmation goes to WhatsApp, which the buyer already uses to talk to home.
Search that forgives spelling
Customers type badam, baadam or almonds, akhrot or walnuts, and they move between Roman Urdu, Urdu script and English in a single search. We build catalogue search that matches those variants and the common misspellings, so a buyer finds chilgoza whether they typed it in Urdu, in English or somewhere in between.

What else we build in Peshawar
Web Development in Peshawar: common questions
You are in Islamabad. Can we meet?
Yes. The M-1 gets us from Islamabad to Peshawar in roughly two hours, so a kick-off at your shop, factory or office, or a session to settle something awkward face to face, is a realistic day trip. Day to day, the work runs over WhatsApp, calls and a preview link you can check on your phone. We do not have a Peshawar office, and we will not invent one.
Can our website be in Pashto?
Yes. Pashto runs right to left like Urdu but uses letters Urdu does not, so we choose and test fonts against real Pashto text. We usually suggest deciding which pages need Pashto rather than translating everything: product names and prices often work across languages, while descriptions and delivery information are where Pashto helps most.
Can customers in the Gulf order and pay?
They can order, and the checkout is designed for someone paying from Dubai or Riyadh for delivery to a home in KP. Payment is the part to confirm early. Which cards and methods work from outside Pakistan depends on the gateway and your bank, and Stripe does not onboard Pakistani merchants. We check what your accounts support before we build, and fall back to bank transfer or the family paying on delivery.
We already sell on WhatsApp. Why do we need a website?
You may not need a large one. What a website adds is a catalogue with current prices and photographs you can share as a single link, a way for new customers to find you through search, and an order form that collects details properly before the conversation moves to WhatsApp. We can build exactly that and nothing more, and keep the chat as the place where the sale is agreed.
Will the site work for customers outside Peshawar?
That is who we build for. Customers in districts across KP, and relatives ordering from abroad, may be on weak mobile signal or older phones. We keep pages light, show text and prices before the images finish loading, and check every page on an inexpensive Android handset using mobile data. A site that only performs on a fast city connection would miss many of the people you sell to.
Web development in Peshawar?
Tell us what you are building. We work with Peshawar clients from our Islamabad office, same timezone and same currency, with no account manager in between, so the person who reads this is the one who would run the work.
- 01A senior engineer reads it. Not a form queue, and not an account manager.
- 02We reply either with questions or with a straight answer that we are not the right fit.
- 03If it looks like a fit, a technical call with the person who would actually run the delivery.
- 04Then scope, effort and risk in writing, before anyone signs anything.
