01Premium seafood delivery · Egypt

Royal Sea

A bilingual Shopify store for a premium seafood brand, 37 products, from Norwegian salmon to king crab, delivered across Egypt.

  • Shopify
  • Egypt
  • AR / EN
Problem
Premium seafood is a trust purchase, and a generic template made the brand look like any frozen-food shop.
Outcome
A clean Arabic/English store with the catalog split the way people shop: salmon, shrimp, crab & lobster, ready to cook, bundles.

04B2B fresh produce supply · Egypt

UNITED

A bilingual B2B site for a fresh-produce supplier to Egyptian hotels and restaurants, catalog, seasonal calendar, and a request-for-quote flow.

  • React
  • B2B
  • AR / EN
Problem
A supplier to hotels and restaurants had nowhere to show its range, its seasons, or its standards, and quote requests arrived half-empty.
Outcome
A React site in Arabic and English with a filterable catalog, a downloadable seasonal calendar, and an RFQ form that captures volume and delivery frequency.

Local commerce

Built for how Egypt and the UAE actually buy.

A store that works in London can still fail in Cairo. These are the details we handle by default, each one is live on a store in our portfolio.

  • Arabic that reads right

    Full right-to-left layouts and copy written in Arabic, not machine-translated. Search and SEO set up for both languages.

    Live on: Royal Sea, Medieval Aloud

  • The payments people use

    Cash on delivery, Fawry, InstaPay, and Vodafone Cash alongside cards, with a confirmation step for each.

    Live on: Fishmonger

  • Prices in the right currency

    EGP for Egypt, AED for the UAE, with delivery times and costs shown before checkout.

    Live on: Medieval Aloud

  • Delivery by governorate

    Shipping zones and fees that match how couriers actually price Egypt.

    Live on: Fishmonger

  • Sold by weight or by quote

    Kilo-based products for fresh food, and request-for-quote flows for B2B buyers.

    Live on: Fishmonger, UNITED

  • WhatsApp in the loop

    Order notifications and enquiries on WhatsApp, because that's where customers already are.

Services

What we do

Most clients come to us for the whole thing, strategy, store, and launch. You can also bring us in for one part.

  1. Product strategy & positioning

    Before any design starts, we pin down what the product is, how it's priced, and who it's for. Everything after depends on getting this right.

    Includes:

    • Market research
    • Pricing structure
    • Product thinking
  2. Store development

    We build the store end to end, catalog, checkout, payments, and design, on the platform that fits: Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom React and Supabase build.

    Includes:

    • Shopify themes
    • WooCommerce stores
    • Custom React builds
    • Local payments
    • Admin panels
  3. Brand identity & design

    Logo, colour, type, and packaging, designed to hold together across the store, social media, and the box that arrives at the door.

    Includes:

    • Visual identity
    • Brand guidelines
    • Packaging design
  4. Launch & go-to-market

    A finished store still needs a proper launch. We plan pricing, channels, and messaging, and set up tracking so you can see what's working from day one.

    Includes:

    • Launch plan
    • Channel strategy
    • Analytics & pixel setup
  5. Performance marketing

    Paid ads, SEO, and conversion work, driven by what the store's own data says, not a generic playbook.

    Includes:

    • Paid social & search
    • SEO
    • Conversion optimisation

Process

How a project runs

  1. Discovery

    We look at how you sell today, what your margins allow, and the one problem the store has to solve first.

  2. Catalog & pricing

    Collections, variants, shipping zones, and local checkout, decided before anything is designed.

  3. Identity & interface

    We design the brand and the store together, so the product pages look like they belong to the product.

  4. Build

    Theme or custom code, payments wired in, images and scripts trimmed so the store opens fast on mobile data.

  5. Launch

    Domains, analytics, and test orders checked against a launch list before the store goes public.

  6. Grow

    Once real orders come in, we use them: ads, SEO, and changes to the store based on what buyers actually do.

About

A studio for brands that sell real things.

Lokalita is an ecommerce studio in Cairo. We don't install a template and walk away, each store is built around the client's catalog, customers, and the way they actually take payment and deliver.

We pick the platform to fit the business: Shopify for most retail brands, WooCommerce when a brand wants to own its stack, and a custom React build when the business doesn't fit a template, like selling seafood by the kilo with Fawry and Vodafone Cash.
