Dubai-based web design agency Cactimedia has announced that it will expand its existing operations to Brazil by Jan 2007.

The Dubai based agency that already has two international offices in Belgrade, Serbia and Hyderabad, India will set up a team of high-profile designers in Brazil who will support Cactimedia’s projects for its clients in the Middle East.

“Brazil is one of the biggest centres of creative web-design talent and our new office will give us access to some of the best skills in the world,” said Mazen Ilyas, CEO of Cactimedia. “The addition, our Brazilian office will enable us to enhance our web design solutions including high-end design, search engine optimization, application development and technology integration.”

Cactimedia’s Belgrade office has a team of web programmers while the Hyderabad office focuses on developing solutions for advanced search-engine optimization. “In today’s competitive marketing space, corporates need a web design agency that is able to combine technology integration and creative design excellence. We are one of the few companies in Dubai that is able to offer a high level of expertise in both.” Ilyas added.

Cactimedia boasts a large portfolio of high profile clients across the region including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Investment Group, TECOM Investments, Majid Al Futtaim Group, Landmark Properties, Crowne Plaza and JIWIN among others. Many of them consider Cactimedia to possess some of the best technical capabilities and creative web design expertise in the region.

Cactimedia will be showcasing its solutions at Gitex Dubai 2006, the largest ICT trade show in the Middle East to be held from 18-22 November. Its stand will be located at the Dubai Internet City Community Zone at Gitex Dubai 2006 in Concourse 2, between Exhibiton Halls 8 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

It's true, we're now taking a 2 day weekend, but don't worry about not being able to contact us as we're now starting earlier in the morning!

Cactimedia's hours of operation are now Sunday - Thursday from 8.30am - 6pm. 

Outside of office hours be sure to email your requests/enquiries and as usual, we'll do our best to handle your needs as soon as possible.
