Web Design in Istanbul: Your Business Website, Handled by One Person
From the domain name to hosting, from design to launch, you deal with one person: me. I build business websites, sites for small businesses like cafes, restaurants and clinics, and architecture and portfolio sites. You work directly with the designer, not an agency. Since 2016 I've worked on more than 120 projects, both at agencies and as a freelancer.

What I do
Business website
A site with about, services, projects/products, blog and contact pages that looks right on phones and computers and that Google can understand.
- A design made for your brand, not a logo dropped onto a ready-made theme
- Mobile-friendly, fast-loading pages (aiming for green on Google PageSpeed)
- Basic SEO: page titles, descriptions, sitemap, Google Search Console setup
- WhatsApp, phone and email buttons; a contact form if you want one
- Google Maps, Instagram and social media links
- SSL (https), a cookie/privacy notice and a draft privacy notice for Turkish data protection law (KVKK)

Custom website with admin panel
If you want to update the content yourself, I write an admin panel made for your site. The site is written from scratch in clean PHP; with no ready-made theme or plugins, it runs fast and stays secure.
- You change the text, images, projects/products and blog posts from the panel
- The panel only has the fields your site uses
- No plugin updates, no maintenance headaches
- A short training session (in person or on video)

Domain, hosting and business email
This is where most businesses get stuck. I set up the domain name (yourcompany.com / .com.tr), hosting, SSL and business email in the form name@yourcompany.com.
- The domain and hosting are registered in your name; you keep the passwords and you're never dependent on me
- For .com.tr we prepare the required documents (tax certificate etc.) together
- Business email: cPanel email or Google Workspace, set up on your phone and in Outlook
- Moving your current site (hosting change) and DNS settings
- A reminder before the yearly renewal

Cafe, restaurant and small business websites
Menu, location, opening hours, bookings/WhatsApp and an Instagram feed: a small business doesn't need much on its website, but what it needs has to be right. Capril Coffee is this kind of project. I build quick 2–4 page sites for cafes, barbers, clinics, architecture offices and workshops.
How we work
- Call (free). What do you do, what should the site include, who will look at it? Send me any sites you like.
- Quote and plan. Page list, delivery date, fee and yearly costs (domain/hosting) on a single page.
- Design. First a draft of the home page, then the other pages once you approve it.
- Content. Text and photos come from you; if you don't have them, I help with writing and choosing images.
- Launch and training. The site goes live, gets submitted to Google, and I show you how to update it.
- After launch. I'm available for small fixes; we can agree on something like one month of free support.
Typical timeline: 3–5 weeks for a business website, 1–2 weeks for a small business site. The more ready your content is, the faster it goes.
Why a designer, and why me?
- Design and setup by the same person. When the same hands make your logo, your print work and your website, your brand looks the same everywhere. (Print Design, Digital Design)
- Agency experience, freelance price. You don't pay for meetings, project managers or office overheads.
- Transparent. I explain which platform I pick and why; the accounts are opened in your name.
- Even if you already have Instagram. I wrote about what a website does for you: Do you need a website if you have an Instagram page?
Frequently asked questions
How much does a business website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, how much custom design is involved and which sections the admin panel needs. After a short call I give you a clear price.
Are the domain and hosting fees included?
Setup is included. The domain and hosting are separate items renewed every year and paid in your name. You'll see them as separate lines in the quote.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. In the admin panel I write for your site, you change the text, images and blog posts yourself. I'll show you how.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes. I keep the content and renew the design and the technical setup. Old addresses are redirected to the new pages, so you don't lose your Google rankings.
How long does it take to get the site ready?
1–2 weeks for a small business site, 3–5 weeks for a business website. What slows things down most is waiting for content; if your text and photos are ready, it goes faster.
Can we work together if I'm not in Istanbul?
Yes. Calls are by phone or video and delivery is online. I work with clients all over Türkiye and abroad.
Can you get me showing up on Google?
I do the basic SEO setup (titles, descriptions, speed, sitemap, Search Console). Ongoing SEO work and ad management are separate services.
