Web Developer in Tripoli
I build websites and web applications for businesses in Tripoli, Lebanon — the country's second city and the commercial centre of the North. I am based in Minieh, a short drive up the coast. There is no office in Tripoli: when a project needs a face-to-face meeting we can meet in the city, and the rest happens by phone, WhatsApp and email.
Bilal Malass is a full-stack and Next.js web developer working with businesses in Tripoli, Lebanon, from a base in nearby Minieh in the North Governorate. He builds business websites, e-commerce and booking platforms, and custom content-management systems in Next.js and TypeScript, works in Arabic and English, and can meet clients in Tripoli in person. His live work in the North includes salmaawad.com, developed for a UI/UX designer in Tripoli, and aldannieh.com, a community and marketplace platform for Danniyeh that he adapted and extended.
Tripoli has a dense, competitive business scene — retail, services, food, and trade all fighting for the same attention. A slow or poorly structured website loses customers to whoever loads faster on a phone.
What I do for a Tripoli business is usually one of three things: build a first proper website, rebuild one that has stopped earning its keep, or add the part that was never there — a shop, a booking flow, an admin panel. The technical groundwork that makes a site findable is done during the build rather than sold back afterwards as an extra.
For shops and service businesses I build the management side too: product catalogues, bookings, order tracking, and an admin panel laid out around how your team actually works.
Most of the city's commercial weight sits in a handful of places — the retail streets around Azmi and Tell, the port and restaurants at El Mina, the old souks and khans, and the showrooms and workshops spread out towards Abou Samra and the Boulevard. What they have in common is a customer who checks their phone before deciding where to go, whether that is for sweets, furniture, a clinic, or a shipment.
A lot of Tripoli businesses already have a website and are not sure what to do with it: a WordPress build nobody has updated in three years, or a page-builder site that loads slowly and cannot be edited without paying someone. Whether to fix it or rebuild it depends on the site: some only need speed and content work, and others cost less to rebuild than to keep patching. I will tell you which after looking at it, and if it is a rebuild, the content and images you already have carry across.
What I build
- Business and company websites
- E-commerce and booking platforms
- Custom content-management systems
- Admin dashboards and internal tools
- Performance and technical SEO work
- Redesigns of existing websites
Why the sites are built with Next.js
Plenty of sites in Tripoli are quoted at the same price whether they are real code or a drag-and-drop template, and the difference only shows up months later. This is what you are actually paying for.
- Pages arrive already built
- Search engines and AI assistants can read it
- No platform rent
- It grows past the website

salmaawad.com — portfolio for a UI/UX designer in Tripoli
Salma Awad is a UI/UX designer working in Tripoli. I built the Next.js application, the content model, and the custom admin panel she publishes new case studies through, and did the structured-data and search work — a linked graph describing the designer, the site and each case study, plus a location page for UI/UX design in North Lebanon. The visual direction was hers: she is the designer, and the interface decisions were led by her. My side was making sure what we agreed could be built properly and would hold up in production.

No project starts with a design. It starts with finding out what the site has to do, and agreeing in writing what it will cost before either of us commits time to it.

- Scope and price in writing
- Build, with the parts you use most first
- Launch, then watch it
- Afterwards, you run it
How to choose the best web developer in Tripoli
More people offer websites in Tripoli than anywhere else in the North, which makes the choice harder rather than easier: the range in quality is wide and the price rarely explains it. These questions separate the two.
- Ask for live URLs, not screenshots
- Open it on a phone, on mobile data
- Ask whose name it is in, and how you change it
- Ask what actually happens on Google
- Get scope, price and language in writing first
Common questions about web development in Tripoli
How do I find the best web developer in Tripoli?
Ask for live website addresses rather than screenshots or a portfolio PDF, and open them on your own phone over mobile data. Confirm in writing that the domain will be registered in your name, ask how you will update prices and content yourself, and ask specifically what will be done about page speed and Google Search Console. In Tripoli the price range is wide and does not track quality, so compare on those answers rather than on the quote alone.
Where can I find a Next.js developer in Tripoli?
Bilal Malass works with Tripoli businesses from nearby Minieh and builds in Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, with PostgreSQL and Prisma behind it. That covers React and Next.js work specifically — server-rendered sites, e-commerce and booking platforms, admin dashboards, and rebuilds of existing WordPress or page-builder sites onto a modern stack where a rebuild is worth it. In person in Tripoli when a meeting helps, otherwise remotely, in Arabic or English.
Are you based in Tripoli?
No. I am based in Minieh, a short drive up the coast, and work with clients in Tripoli. There is no office in the city, but we can meet in person in Tripoli when a project needs it.
Can you rebuild an existing WordPress or Wix site?
Yes, when a rebuild is the right call — sometimes improving the existing site is enough, and I will say so. In a rebuild, existing text, images and page structure carry over, then the site is rebuilt in Next.js, with a custom admin panel if you want to edit it yourself. The domain stays in your name, there is no monthly platform fee, and there are no plugins to break when they update.
How much does a website cost in Tripoli?
Most websites cost between $300 and $1,000, and scope decides where in that range a project lands — a brochure site for a clinic is very different from a shop with a product catalogue and an admin panel, which can run above it. Tell me what you need and you will get a clear written estimate before any work starts.
Can the website be in Arabic, or in both languages?
Both. Arabic pages are built right-to-left properly, with Arabic typography rather than a mirrored English layout, and each language gets its own address so Google can serve the right one. This site itself is bilingual, so you can see the result before deciding.
Do you build e-commerce websites for Tripoli businesses?
Yes. I build e-commerce interfaces, product catalogues, and booking platforms with a custom admin panel so you can manage stock, prices, and orders yourself. Online shops start from $700, and the written quote depends on the catalogue, payment, delivery and languages.
How long does a website take to build?
A focused landing page can be ready in days. A full business site with a content-management system usually takes a few weeks, depending on how quickly content and feedback come back.
Will my website work well on mobile?
Yes, and it is designed mobile-first rather than adapted afterwards. Pages are built to stay light on a mobile connection and are checked on a real phone before launch, not only in a desktop browser resized to look like one.
