Everything You Need to Know

Custom software cost in Bahrain depends on user roles, integrations (payment, accounting, CRM), data complexity, and whether it is a single-tenant tool or multi-tenant platform. Every Space Tap project is fixed-price after a free 30-minute scoping call, delivered in 8 weeks for MVPs (longer for enterprise builds), with full source code and intellectual property transferred to you on day one.

A basic web application takes 6–10 weeks. A mid-size business platform typically takes 3–4 months. Full enterprise systems take 4–8 months. We work in 2-week agile sprints so you see real, working software throughout the project — not just at the end.

Yes. All our software can be built fully bilingual — Arabic and English — with proper RTL (right-to-left) layout for Arabic. We have experience building government-facing and enterprise systems used by Arabic-speaking teams in Bahrain and the GCC.

Our primary stack is Laravel (PHP 8.3) for backend, React or Vue.js for frontend, MySQL/PostgreSQL for databases, and AWS or Hostinger Cloud for hosting. For mobile, we use React Native and Flutter. We choose the right technology for each project — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes. We sign NDAs before any project discussions. Upon final payment, you receive full ownership of all source code, documentation, and assets. We retain no rights to your software.

Yes. We regularly audit and take over existing codebases. We start with a code review, identify technical debt and risks, then propose a structured plan to fix, improve, and continue development.

Mobile app cost in Bahrain depends on feature scope, target platforms (iOS, Android, or cross-platform), and backend integration complexity. Every Space Tap project is fixed-price after a free 30-minute scoping call, delivered in 8 weeks with full source code transferred to you on day one. Book a call to get an exact quote based on your features.

For the Bahrain market, we recommend both. iOS dominates in the premium segment while Android has broader reach across all demographics. Using React Native, we build both platforms simultaneously from one codebase — significantly reducing cost versus building two separate native apps.

Yes. We manage the full submission process including developer account setup, app screenshots, store descriptions, and compliance review. Apple App Store typically takes 1–3 days for review. Google Play is usually 24 hours.

A standard app takes 10–16 weeks from design kickoff to App Store submission. Complex apps with multiple user roles, real-time features, and heavy integrations take 4–8 months. We provide a detailed timeline before starting.

Yes. We offer monthly maintenance packages covering OS compatibility updates (new iOS/Android versions), bug fixes, performance monitoring, and feature updates. Without maintenance, apps can break when Apple or Google release major OS updates.

Online store cost in Bahrain depends on whether you start with Shopify (faster setup, lower fixed cost) or a custom build, plus payment gateways you integrate (Benefit Pay, CrediMax, MyFatoorah, PayTabs), logistics integrations (Aramex, DHL, Samsa), and catalogue size. Space Tap quotes every store at a fixed price after a free 30-minute scoping call, delivered in 8 weeks with full ownership transferred to you on day one. Book a call to get an exact number for your store.

Shopify is best for businesses that want to launch quickly with a proven, scalable platform. Custom e-commerce is better when you have unique business logic, complex pricing rules, or need deep integration with existing systems like ERP or inventory management.

We integrate all major payment gateways used in Bahrain: Benefit Pay, PayTabs, MyFatoorah, Tap Payments, PayFort, Stripe, and bank transfer. We also set up cash on delivery and credit account options for B2B clients.

Yes. We build fully bilingual Arabic/English stores with proper RTL layout. Arabic SEO is included — your store will rank on Google for Arabic search terms like "تسوق اون لاين البحرين".

We integrate with major logistics providers operating in Bahrain including Aramex, DHL, and local courier services. We also set up shipping zone rules, rate calculators, and order tracking for customers.

Digital marketing cost in Bahrain depends on channel mix (social, SEO, paid ads), content volume per month, language coverage (Arabic and English), and reporting cadence. Space Tap offers fixed monthly retainers after a free 30-minute scoping call where we audit your current presence and define the right scope. Book a call and we will send a transparent monthly proposal with no hidden fees and ad spend always separate.

Technical SEO improvements can show results within 2–4 weeks. Keyword rankings typically improve within 3–6 months of consistent work. Competitive keywords in Bahrain often take 6–9 months to reach page 1. We provide monthly ranking reports so you can track progress.

Yes. We manage Google Search, Google Display, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram campaigns. We handle strategy, creative, copywriting, targeting, and monthly reporting. You approve all ads before they go live.

Yes. We create bilingual content — Arabic and English — written by native Arabic speakers, not auto-translated. We understand the cultural context of Bahraini social media audiences.

We track leads generated, cost per lead, website traffic from campaigns, conversion rates, and revenue attributed to digital channels. Monthly reports cover all KPIs with full transparency. We connect campaigns to your CRM or contact system so you can trace every lead to its source.

We are based in Manama, Bahrain — Building 221, Office 203, Block 447, Road 31. We serve clients across Bahrain and remotely across the GCC including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar.

Yes. While our primary market is Bahrain and the GCC, we work with international clients who need local GCC market expertise or simply want a reliable development team. All communication is in English and we work across timezones.

Every project starts with a free discovery call. We then prepare a detailed proposal with scope, timeline, and fixed price. Once approved, we kick off with a design phase, move into development sprints, and close with testing and launch. You have a dedicated project manager throughout.

Yes. For larger projects, we structure payments in milestones — typically 30% upfront, 40% at mid-project milestone, and 30% on delivery. This protects both parties and aligns payment with progress.
