As a development partner to an agency, we built an interactive kiosk for Mawani, the Saudi Ports Authority, used at an event in Saudi Arabia to present its Vision 2030 story. A kiosk looks like a website on a big screen. It is not, and treating it like one is the fastest way to lose visitors.
Nobody scrolls at a kiosk
Mawani's story covers investment opportunities, projects and initiatives, the digital approach, logistics, awards, and vision and mission. At a busy stand, visitors give a screen a few seconds. So instead of long pages we built ten short sections and a persistent bottom navigation bar that keeps every section one tap away.
An attract screen that invites a touch
When nobody is using it, the kiosk shows an attract screen with a single Start Now entry. It tells passers-by that the screen is interactive and gives them an obvious first move.
Short, scannable content
Each section pairs a few key points with imagery. We wrote for reading distance and attention span, not for completeness, and left the detail for follow-up conversations at the stand.
Two languages, one tap
The whole experience switches between Arabic and English with a single tap, without losing the visitor's place. At an international event, language should never be the reason someone walks away.
