Some websites shout. House of Books wanted theirs to whisper, with confidence. As a subscription-based book curator in the UAE, they didn’t need flashy gimmicks. They needed a site that felt calm, premium, and easy. Something that lets readers focus on their next page-turner, not on figuring out how to subscribe.

After launch, we integrated tracking tools, validated all forms, connected emails, and tested the checkout experience across devices. The client also subscribed to our SLA support plan, allowing us to assist weekly with content updates, feature enhancements, and hosting needs.
