Mazoud
A new website for Mazoud, an Arabic oud and musk brand: an editorial home for the brand's story and products, in English and Arabic, that hands buying to the store the brand already uses.

The brief
The existing site was a standard store template. The brand needed a site that feels like its boxes and its oud: warm, unhurried and photographic, without changing how orders, payments or delivery already work.
Mazoud sells through a hosted store on Packman, which handles the cart, payments and delivery. The redesign is the brand website in front of it. It is built and tested, and goes live once the store's address change is confirmed.
What we built
A light, fast static website in English and Arabic. Visitors browse collections, open a product to compare sizes and prices, and continue to the brand's store to buy.

In Arabic too

Everything in it
English and Arabic
Every page in both languages, with the Arabic version laid out right to left.
The full catalogue
The 16 products in a filterable cabinet, with each size showing its real price.
Product sheets
Photographs with swipe and thumbnails, sizes with the price per gram, and a clear step to purchase.
Editorial sections
Oud wood, oils and musk, gifting and the brand's story, alternating light and dark.
Motion with restraint
A slideshow, word-by-word headlines and gentle reveals. Everything appears at once for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
Tested on every screen
Checked on iPhone, Android, iPad and desktop in both languages: no sideways scrolling and comfortable tap targets.
How we approached it
The brand's own materials
Ivory, espresso and copper from the packaging, the floral emboss from the brand's own artwork, and real photography from the brand's shoot. No stock or AI images.
True to the store
All 16 products, with names, sizes, prices and stock matching the live store exactly, checked automatically.
Nothing changes behind it
Products, payments, orders and delivery stay in the existing store. The site links into it for each purchase.
Product demo
Placeholder. A short product demo will be added when one is recorded and approved.
