I tend to agree with Mohammed, here. I'll have some suggestions on improvements later, but that should not delay us in deploying the site and going live ASAP. I didn't find any broken links or bad pages (which is what you were asking me to look into). The color scheme is a bit harsh on the eyes (too bright for my taste) - as far as I'm concerned, we are ready to go live.
I was a bit confused on all the [AR] [EN] [FR] stuff and not knowing which were related to PDF and which weren't (they didn't seem to be aligned either and that looked odd) - nothing serious, but my suggestions and observations are akin to this sort of thing.
Do please send instructions on how to add/modify the pages (for future reference). I will email my complete suggestions for improvements once we go live (no reason to delay further).
PS: Good Job !!
