Website Features to Enrich The Experiences Of Today’s Woman
Key sections of the new Al Jamila website have been developed with the aim to answer the needs of women in the region today, offering rich content related to modest fashion, beauty, art, celebrities, gastronomy, health and fitness, weddings and engagements, mother and child, news, tourism and travel, career and development, décor, watches and jewelry, photo albums, and the Al Jamila Beauty School. In addition to these, Al Jamila has launched three new specialized sections:
The Experts Section
This focuses on providing readers with expert advice related to fashion, beauty, health, medicine, fitness and nutrition, through rich content and compelling videos. Experts who work on developing and curating content for this section include: Dr. Rashad Haddad (gynecologist); Dr. Nadia Bouhanad (life coach); Dr. Sarah Agha (specialist plastic surgeon); Razan Shweihat (dietitian); and Dr. Frida Tannous (consultant dermatologist, aesthetic medicine and laser therapy). They are joined by leading experts in the field of beauty, fashion, and modest fashion, such as Saudi beauty expert Noura Bouwad, fashionista Zeina Louai, and fashionista Rasha Al-Beik.
The “Tried & Tested” Section
This section brings together fashion and beauty experts, as well as the editors of Al Jamila magazine and website, to talk about their experiences on camera with trying different brands, including makeup, perfumes and skin-care products. These Al Jamila produced videos aim to guide readers in their choices, and are paired with an ecommerce arm allowing visitors to purchase these “tried and tested” products.
The Product Review Feature
Last but not least, Al Jamila’s new website offers a "product placement" section, with the aim to connect readers with all the brands and products offered on the site through a faster selection process, as well as a better shopping experience achieved via the site’s user-friendly browsing technology.
