A multilingual WordPress website in Arabic, English and Hebrew

Qudra: Arab Philanthropy Network serves readers in three languages and two reading directions. The WordPress site, built with Elementor, gives every page an Arabic, English and Hebrew version, with right-to-left layouts that mirror properly rather than English pages with translated text.

Accessibility was built in from the start with a custom plugin that lets visitors adjust text, contrast and motion. That plugin has since become EZ Accessibility, our free WordPress accessibility plugin. It is the multilingual, RTL-ready WordPress work we do for nonprofits and organisations.

The client

Qudra: Arab Philanthropy Network works to strengthen strategic giving in Arab society. It connects donors, community leaders, civil society groups and philanthropic institutions, and shares research, events and initiatives with a wide audience.

The brief

Qudra's audience reads in three languages. Arabic and Hebrew run right to left, English runs left to right, and the site needed to feel like one organisation in all three. It also had to be usable by visitors with different accessibility needs.

What we built

Arabic, English and Hebrew

Every page is available in three languages, with matching navigation and structure so visitors can switch without losing their place.

Right-to-left done properly

Layouts, alignment, spacing and interface parts flip correctly for Arabic and Hebrew, rather than being English pages with translated text.

A custom accessibility plugin

A purpose-built accessibility tool lets visitors adjust the page to their needs. It has since become our free WordPress plugin, EZ Accessibility.

Room for the work

Publications, events and community initiatives each have a clear home, so the network's work is easy to explore.

Built with

The result

Qudra has one consistent website across three languages and two reading directions, with accessibility built in rather than added on.

We work in Arabic, English and Hebrew, and every time someone built us a site, the right-to-left pages were the weak spot. This time they weren't. He also built us an accessibility tool when we asked, which we didn't expect.
