Client Overview

Interwood is one of Pakistan's most respected furniture and home solutions brands, with over four decades of heritage. Their range spans bedroom furniture, office solutions, kitchens, and bespoke joinery. As they expanded into the UAE, they needed a new bilingual website — interwood.ae — built from the ground up to support showroom discovery, Arabic/English content, and a proper digital bridge into their Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah showrooms. They engaged Digital Genei to design and build it.

The Technical Challenge

Interwood's UAE expansion meant building a site from zero, not adapting an existing one. Digital Genei's technical scope identified five structural requirements the new build had to solve for:

#Technical Issue FoundImpact on the Site
01No UAE-market website existed — interwood.ae had to be built from scratchNothing to launch on, no templates or structure to build against
02No bilingual content architecture — needed full Arabic/English support with RTL layoutA single-language build would exclude a large share of the UAE audience
03No structured local-business schema or Maps data for the showroom locationsShowroom pages would have no location markup for search engines or maps to read
04No booking or product-visualisation functionality built into any templateNo way for a visitor to book a showroom visit or preview furniture in a room
05No mobile-first component library to build the new site onEvery page would need one-off responsive work instead of a shared system

The Redevelopment Approach

Digital Genei built interwood.ae as a bilingual, component-based site from the ground up — engineered around showroom discovery, Arabic/English content, and in-page tools for booking and visualising furniture.

BILINGUAL ARCHITECTURE
Arabic/English Template System
Full RTL layout support built in
Built a language-switching template system with true right-to-left layout support for Arabic, rather than a mirrored patch on an English-first theme.
LOCAL SCHEMA
Structured Data & Maps Integration
Every showroom page, geo-tagged
Coded local-business schema markup and embedded Google Maps into every showroom landing page, so location data is machine-readable, not just visual.
REUSABLE TEMPLATES
Showroom Landing Page Component
One template, every showroom
Built a single reusable showroom-page component that pulls in location, categories, and imagery — instead of hand-coding each Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah page.
VIRTUAL VISUALISER
Custom Room Visualiser Tool
Built as a custom interactive widget
Coded a custom virtual room visualiser from scratch, letting visitors preview furniture pieces in a room before booking a showroom visit.
BOOKING SYSTEM
Showroom Booking Widget
Custom-coded appointment flow
Built a custom showroom booking widget with live chat wired in, replacing a generic contact form with a structured appointment flow.
RESPONSIVE SYSTEM
Mobile-First Component Library
Shared across every page type
Built a shared, mobile-first component library so every new page — bilingual or not — inherits the same responsive behaviour by default.

The New Design Direction

Alongside the bilingual build, Digital Genei developed new interior-focused mockups for interwood.ae — carrying the same showroom-page component system into a cleaner, more premium visual layout.

Newly developed mockups — built on the same reusable showroom-page and product component system as the live bilingual site, with a clearer hierarchy between collections, showroom locations, and the booking/visualiser tools. Both layouts are structured to work in Arabic RTL and English without a separate build for each language.

The Technical Results

Within 12 months, interwood.ae went from a market with no digital footprint to a fully bilingual, component-based site with its own booking and visualisation tools:

Why It Worked

Interwood's UAE build shows what a market-entry site needs technically: true bilingual architecture, not a patched translation, and reusable components that scale across showrooms instead of one-off pages. Digital Genei built both into the foundation from day one.

🌐
Real bilingual architecture
A true RTL Arabic layout system, built alongside English rather than mirrored on top of it, meant every page worked properly in both languages.
📍
One template, every showroom
A single reusable showroom-page component meant new locations could be added without a fresh round of front-end work each time.
🛋️
Custom in-page tools
Building the room visualiser and booking widget as custom-coded tools, rather than third-party embeds, kept them consistent with the site's design system.
📱
A shared responsive system
A mobile-first component library meant every new page, bilingual or not, inherited the same responsive behaviour by default.
