Website design and development in Ankara
I build your website end to end: design, code, content placement, domain, hosting and launch. No bought theme with your logo pasted on top — the site is written for your business.
I've been a software engineer for nine years and have led teams for the last four. The discipline I learned on banking, defense and radar projects applies to a small brochure site too: measurable speed, clean code, launches that don't break.
Scope — what's included
-
Design
Page structure, typography, color and mobile layout. Not a template — a layout built around your business. You see it live in a browser before approval.
-
Development
Built with a static site generator (Astro): no CMS running on a server means it loads fast and has almost no attack surface. Forms, booking or API connections are added when needed.
-
Content placement
Your text and images are placed into the pages, with a heading hierarchy that sends search engines the right signal. Copywriting stays with you, or we work on it together.
-
Launch and handover
Domain, SSL, email forwarding and hosting setup included. After launch the technical responsibility can stay with me — nothing is left on your plate.
-
Technical SEO foundation
Sitemap, robots.txt, canonical, hreflang, structured data and Core Web Vitals are set up correctly on day one. SEO added later always costs more.
-
Accessibility
Keyboard navigable, screen-reader readable, WCAG AA color contrast. It is both a legal consideration and a quality signal search engines read.
How we proceed
-
1. A conversation
We talk about what you do, who you want to reach and what you already have (logo, copy, photos, an old site). This call is free and commits you to nothing.
-
2. Scope and price
I write down what will be built and give a fixed price. No surprise line items; if something outside the scope comes up, I quote it before doing it.
-
3. Design approval
You see the home page design at a live address first. Anything you dislike changes at that stage — not after the code is written.
-
4. Development
Pages get written and content lands. You can follow the work-in-progress at your own address throughout.
-
5. Launch
Domain and hosting are connected, SSL installed, speed and accessibility measured, Search Console prepared. Then the site is yours.
Why me
- 9 years of software engineering: fintech payment flows (Finso), a NATO command-and-control interface (AirC2IS), radar data analytics (PMBDA).
- 4+ years of team leadership and product ownership — I know how to run a project, not just write code.
- My own product Kelimely is live on the App Store and Google Play: I took it from design to release alone.
- The site you are reading is my shop window: Lighthouse mobile performance 99, accessibility 100, SEO 100. I hold your site to the same numbers.
- My first client project is docdryasemindogan.com — a physician website; design through hosting and SEO all mine.
Frequently asked
How long does a website take?
A one-page brochure site and a multi-page corporate site are very different. Once we agree on scope I give a firm timeline and stick to it. Waiting on copy and images is the most common delay, so we plan for it up front.
How is the price decided?
A fixed price based on page count, special functionality (forms, booking, e-commerce, multiple languages) and who prepares the content. Per project, not per hour. Because the scope is written down, the invoice does not grow later.
Do you use WordPress?
Usually not. For brochure sites I build static pages: much faster, no security-update treadmill, and hosting costs are near zero. If you plan to edit content often, say so early and we will wire up a content system instead.
Can I update the site myself?
It depends on the need. For a site that changes a few times a year, having me do it is cheaper. If you will publish regularly, we connect a content system and I show you how to use it.
I'm outside Ankara — can we still work together?
Yes. I am based in Ankara but the work is fully remote; I take projects from anywhere in Türkiye and abroad. Calls happen by phone or video.
I have an old site — can it be rebuilt?
Yes. We can keep the existing content and URL structure and move it onto a new design. If addresses have to change, I set up 301 redirects from old to new so you keep your existing Google rankings.
