Children's app design and development in Saudi Arabia
For a brand or body building an app the child opens with their own hand: how do we design it to be safe from the first screen?

What we do for government bodies, companies and nonprofits
Dawani is a Saudi studio that makes children's experiences, and alongside that builds its own tools and frameworks published for anyone to use. We work in three groups: we build digital products for children, we design programmes and initiatives for anyone whose target is the child, and we review and research for anyone who needs an independent eye or knowledge of their market.
What we promise
- A person on the team reads your message, not an automated system, and we get back to you within a few working days.
- If a request is outside our field or works against the child's interest, we say so plainly and give the reason, rather than take on work we would not do well.
- We build no final version before a plain gray prototype has been tested with real children, with their parents' consent, as our process page describes.
- In everything we make we collect as little data as possible, and we design no daily streaks and no random rewards that measure success by a child's inability to stop.
- We agree the scope and the deliverables in writing before any commitment, and the proposal names what is out of scope as clearly as what is in it.
What we do not promise
- A delivery time before we understand the request, or a price published on the site; every proposal is built on its own case.
- A guaranteed outcome for the child; we promise a success indicator and a guardrail indicator agreed before we start, not a result.
- A legal compliance certificate or a legal opinion; our reviews are an independent Dawani framework, and the applicable law belongs to its own authorities.
- Investment advice; a due-diligence review describes the product, the team and the evidence, and recommends neither buying nor selling.
To read our full method there is the process page, and to read what we can actually prove there is the what we can prove page.

Questions often asked about our services
Which page do I start from if my situation spans several services?
Start with the form at the bottom of this page and describe your situation plainly; we are the ones who work out which service or mix of services fits it, once we understand it.
Can our relationship start with a specific, small service, and expand later?
Yes. The relationship often starts with a specific service, and expands to others once we prove together that it works.
Where do I find a price or a delivery time for a specific service?
You will not find them on the site. Every proposal is built on its own case once we understand the request, since a price set in advance assumes a general case fits everyone, and none does.
