Taxir prides itself on offering a focused set of services, each shaped by years of working alongside cultural organizations in the region. We don’t try to be everything to everyone; we do a few things with depth, and we do them in a way that respects the languages, aesthetics and realities of the MENA cultural landscape. Everything below can be commissioned on its own or combined into a larger engagement, and every project begins with a conversation about what the work actually needs rather than what we’d like to sell.

Websites and Web App Development

The website is still the front door of any cultural institution, and we build ones worth walking through. From editorial platforms and digital archives to festival sites and membership portals, we design and develop web experiences that carry an organization’s identity into the browser rather than burying it under a template. Bilingual and right-to-left support is native to our process, not a patch applied at the end.

We build with longevity in mind: lightweight, standards-based, maintainable by small teams, and structured so content outlives whatever framework happens to be fashionable this year. Whether it’s a static site a two-person magazine can run on its own or a full web application with search, streaming and structured collections, the result is something you own and understand.

Virtual Exhibitions and Metaverse Experiences

Some cultural work needs more than a page; it needs a space. We design virtual exhibitions, 3D galleries and immersive experiences that let audiences wander through a collection, a retrospective or a commissioned digital artwork from anywhere in the world. For institutions whose physical spaces are inaccessible, dispersed or lost entirely, these environments are not a gimmick; they are continuity.

We approach spatial and immersive work with the same curatorial seriousness as a physical hang: sightlines, sequence, atmosphere and story come first, and the technology is chosen to serve them, whether that’s a browser-based 3D gallery that runs on any laptop or a fuller metaverse experience for audiences ready to go deeper.

Software Development and Deployment

Behind every archive, festival and publication there’s an operational reality: collections to catalogue, submissions to manage, rights to track, audiences to understand. We build custom software that fits how cultural organizations actually work, from collection management systems and digitization pipelines to booking tools and internal dashboards, and we see it through deployment, hosting and handover.

Our bias is toward open-source foundations and honest architecture: systems that a lean team can operate, that don’t lock you into a vendor, and that can grow as the institution does. We document what we build and train the people who will live with it.

Tech Training, Consultations and Capacity Building

The most sustainable technology is the kind your own team can carry. We offer training programs, one-off consultations and longer-term capacity building for cultural organizations that want to grow their digital confidence, whether that means teaching an archival team to manage its own digitization workflow, helping an editorial staff master its publishing tools, or advising leadership on digital strategy, budgeting and procurement.

We also work as a thinking partner in earlier stages: scoping projects, evaluating proposals from other vendors, and helping institutions ask the right questions before committing to expensive answers. The goal is always the same: organizations that use technology on their own terms, not ones that depend on us indefinitely.
