Fateh Leasing Halal

My first actual client

Most of the stuff on this list started as me scratching my own itch. This one didn't. This was my first real paid build, an actual company with an actual owner who needed a website that turns random visitors into phone calls.

The business does halal car leasing here in Israel, so leasing with no interest, done in a Sharia-compliant way. And honestly that's the whole point. It's the reason someone would go with them instead of the dozen normal leasing places down the road, so the site had to feel trustworthy from the very first second. No stock photo of two guys in suits shaking hands.

One headline, three languages, two directions

It runs in three languages: Hebrew (the default, right-to-left), Arabic (also right-to-left), and English (left-to-right). If you've never built a site that flips its whole layout direction depending on who's looking at it, trust me, it sounds like a quick checkbox and then quietly eats a week of your life. "Why is the form on the wrong side now" became a real sentence I said out loud.

I also made a point of putting the lead form right next to the headline, front and center. Not behind a "Contact us" button, not in some popup that jumps you three seconds after you land. You show up, you read one promise, you leave your number. That's the whole job of the page.

The boring part that actually matters

Behind that nice-looking hero is a lead pipeline I built to be a little paranoid, because these are real people leaving their real phone numbers. Every table is locked down by default, the sensitive stuff only ever gets read on the server, visitor IPs get hashed before they're stored, and there's a bot check on the form. If any of that is set up wrong, it fails shut and drops the request instead of leaking anything. A lost lead is annoying. A leaked one is a lawsuit.

The owner gets a private dashboard to see new leads, jot notes, and follow up, plus a consent log so there's always a record of exactly what each person agreed to and when.

The showing-off part

The hero also has a 3D car you can actually spin around, lit like a little photo studio, running live in the browser. It loads in the background so it never slows anything down, and it just quietly skips itself on devices that can't handle it. Did a leasing site need a spinnable 3D car? No. Not even a little. Did the client grin when he saw it in the demo? Yep. So, worth it.
