The Ghadaf case study, in five lines.
- 01A Shopify store for a Qatari fragrance house that sells perfume and nothing else, built by brainiac/studio.
- 02Black page, white product cards, one green for the button; two campaign stills open the homepage.
- 03English and Arabic storefronts with right-to-left layout and a switch in the header.
- 04Three collections — perfumes, body sprays, air fresheners — on one card design.
- 05Launched on the agreed date in 2025 and supported by the studio since.
What Ghadaf needed.
A new fragrance house with a single category and a bilingual market. The brand wanted the restraint of a luxury house — no clutter, no banners — and a store that reads as naturally in Arabic as in English.
With seven products, the catalogue cannot carry the page. The campaign film stills, the bottle on white, and the space around them had to do the work a hundred products would otherwise do.
Qatar buys in two languages. The storefront, collections and policies had to exist properly in both, with the switch where a customer looks for it.

How we built it for Ghadaf.
- 01
A black page, one green
The site is black with white product cards and a single green for the active link and the buy button. Two campaign stills open the homepage; the best collections grid follows; the house's story closes it.
- 02
Collections for a small catalogue
Perfumes, body sprays and air fresheners as three collections on one card design — image, name, price — with filters for availability and price and a sort by date or best selling.
- 03
English and Arabic
Two locales on one Shopify store, with the language switch in the header, translated collections and policies, and right-to-left layout for the Arabic site.
- 04
Launch and support
Shopify Payments and Shopify Shipping configured for Qatar, the store launched on the agreed date, and the studio has supported it since.
What Ghadaf launched with.
What people ask about this build.
- Why Shopify for a seven-product fragrance store?
- Because the house wanted Shopify Payments, Shopify Shipping and a bilingual storefront without running a server. With a small catalogue the platform cost is modest and the time to launch is short. For a house that wanted to own its storefront outright, as Rasha did, we chose WooCommerce instead.
- How is the Arabic version built?
- As a second locale on the same store, not a separate site. Collections, products and policies are translated, the layout is right-to-left, and the switch sits in the header where a customer expects it.
- Can brainiac/studio build a bilingual store for a brand in Qatar?
- Yes. Arabic and English storefronts are standard in our Qatar work. We have no Arabic speakers in-house, so translation is done by a translator you appoint or we source; layout, typography and the locale setup are ours.
