DahabAlyoum: live pricing and Arabic content, running every day
The real problem
Gold followers in Egypt and the Gulf need a live, trustworthy price in Arabic, in the market, karat and unit they actually use. Prices move all day, and the news content has to publish fast and appear in search results as data, not just text.
What we delivered
- Live gold and silver price tracking for Egypt and Gulf markets, across karats and units
- A news and analysis publishing pipeline with a daily editorial workflow
- An investment calculator and user accounts
Engineering notes
- Arabic-first platform: RTL, numerals and dates handled in every template, not a cosmetic translation over a foreign theme
- A caching layer in front of the price data so traffic peaks never hammer the data source
- Structured data (schema markup) generated by the platform itself for prices and articles, so search engines read the price as data
- Containerised (Docker) deployment on a VPS we operate, with controlled, reversible updates
The platform runs on infrastructure we operate: nightly offsite backups, monitoring and controlled updates. When an update breaks something at 3 a.m., we are the ones who wake up, not the client.
The platform is in production serving a daily Arabic-speaking audience across Egypt and the Gulf, publishing prices and analysis every day. The outcome we publish here is deliberately qualitative: we do not print traffic figures that cannot be externally verified.
What we publish here is limited to what can be verified. No performance, user or revenue figures unless they are externally provable.
