Web Design in Istanbul
I design and build custom websites in İstanbul — no templates, no page builders. Every project starts from the brand and its customers, and ends as a fast, search-ready site the owner can actually maintain. Design, code, content structure, and launch are all handled by one person: me.
Who this is for
Most of my web design work comes from businesses in İstanbul and across Türkiye that have outgrown a template site — or never had one that represented them properly. Retailers, hotels, law offices, studios, and local businesses hire me when they need a site that loads fast, ranks for the searches their customers actually make, and makes it easy to get in touch. The goal is never just a pretty homepage: a visitor should understand what you do, trust you, and contact you within a minute of landing.

What I build
I build brand and corporate sites, product catalogs, hotel and hospitality sites, portfolio sites, and landing pages — all designed specifically for the business behind them. Recent work includes a digital showroom for collectible cars in Kartal, a retail experience for a motorcycle brand, and gallery-style sites for creative studios. Each one has its own design system, its own motion language, and a structure planned around what visitors are looking for.
The technology behind it
Sites are built with Nuxt 3/4 and Vue 3 in TypeScript, styled with Tailwind, and rendered server-side so search engines see real HTML instead of an empty shell. When a project needs dynamic content or forms, I add Node and Supabase or PostgreSQL behind it. Deployment goes to Vercel or to Docker-based servers I run and maintain myself — your site is not left on a shared hosting panel nobody looks at.

How a project runs
Every project follows the same six steps: discover, structure, design, build, launch, improve. We start with a conversation about your business, your customers, and the searches you want to win. From that I plan the page structure and content before any visuals exist — structure decides SEO more than anything else. Then comes design, development, and a launch with redirects, sitemaps, and analytics in place. After launch I keep measuring and adjusting rather than disappearing.
Why custom design pays off
A template site carries the weight of features you will never use, and it looks like a thousand other sites in your industry. A custom-built site loads only what it needs, which shows up directly in Core Web Vitals — a ranking factor — and in how long visitors stay. More importantly, a site designed around your actual offering converts better: the right information in the right order, a clear next step on every page, and nothing generic standing between you and the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
+How long does a website take?
A focused brand or business site typically takes 3–6 weeks from first call to launch, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content comes together. Larger catalogs or bilingual structures take longer — I give a concrete estimate after the discovery conversation.
+Can you redesign my existing site?
Yes — redesigns are a large part of my work. I audit what currently ranks and what traffic you have, keep what works, and rebuild the rest with proper redirects so you do not lose existing search visibility during the switch.
+Do you build bilingual Turkish + English sites?
Yes. I build TR/EN sites with a proper hreflang structure, so Google serves the right language to the right audience. This portfolio site itself works exactly that way, as do the hotel and law-office sites in my portfolio.
+Where will the site be hosted?
Depending on the project: Vercel for globally distributed marketing sites, or Docker-based servers I operate myself when you want everything under one roof with backups and monitoring handled for you. Cloudflare sits in front either way when it makes sense.
+Do you use ready-made templates or themes?
No. Every site is designed and coded specifically for the project. That is what keeps the sites fast, distinctive, and easy to extend later — there is no theme code underneath fighting against changes.
+What happens after launch?
Launch is a checkpoint, not the end. I set up analytics and Search Console before going live, then watch how real visitors and search engines respond. Ongoing maintenance — updates, content changes, performance checks — is available as a continuing arrangement.
