Salla developer.
I have built and launched more than 150 storefronts on Salla and Zid — for marketing agencies, for brands, and directly for store owners. If Salla's stock themes have taken your store as far as they can, this is the part where it stops looking like everyone else's.

What you get
Custom Salla themes
A theme built to your brand rather than a marketplace template with your logo dropped in — built on Salla's Twilight theme engine, so it stays upgradeable.
Arabic and RTL done properly
Not a mirrored LTR layout. Correct logical properties, Arabic numerals where they belong, typefaces that actually read, and icons that don't end up pointing the wrong way.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Image and font discipline, deferred scripts, and cutting the third-party weight that quietly costs you conversions on a phone over mobile data.
The features Salla doesn't ship
Custom product options, bundles, calculators, filtered collections, landing pages for a campaign — the store logic that sits outside the settings panel.
Common questions
The things people actually ask before hiring.
- Do you work on existing Salla stores or only new ones?
- Both. A lot of the work is picking up a store that already sells and fixing what is holding it back — speed, a broken checkout flow on mobile, or a theme that was customised until it became unmaintainable.
- Can you keep the store upgradeable after customisation?
- Yes, and it is the main reason to do it properly. Work goes through Salla's Twilight theme structure instead of pasting overrides into the settings panel, so platform updates don't undo your build.
- Do you work with clients in Saudi Arabia?
- Regularly — Salla is a Saudi platform and most of this work is for Saudi stores. I have worked on Saudi-based projects since 2022, including enterprise work in Riyadh, so the timezone and the working week are familiar.
- How do we start?
- Send me the store link and what is bothering you about it. You will get an honest read on whether it needs a rebuild or three days of fixes — including if the answer is that you don't need me.
