Web developer in Ankara

Websites, online stores and technical SEO for Ankara businesses — built remotely from Islamabad, quoted in TRY, scoped in writing before anything starts.

Businesses in Ankara usually come to me after a site has already been built once and disappointed. That is a useful starting point, because it means the requirements are no longer theoretical — you know exactly which parts failed. Rebuilding from a list of specific complaints produces a far better result than rebuilding from a mood board.

What working with a Turkish client actually changes

These are the terms that differ by country rather than by town. They apply to every business in Turkey, Ankara included, and they are the substance of what this page is claiming.

Quoted and invoiced in TRY — never a converted figure presented at the end
Tax position VAT at 20%
Your customers' data sits under KVKK, the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698
Lawful transfer mechanism KVKK restricts transfers abroad and explicit consent or a KVKK undertaking is required
Checkout can realistically use iyzico, PayTR, and Stripe — with instalment plans expected on larger baskets
My day, in Ankara time 07:00–16:00 — about 7 hours inside a normal working day

One thing worth knowing about building for Turkey

Instalments are a normal expectation on Turkish card purchases, and the number of instalments is shown on the product page rather than at checkout. A store that hides it until the last step loses the consideration entirely.

How a Ankara build is scoped before anything is written

Scope is fixed in writing before development starts, and the number in that document is the number on the invoice. For Ankara projects that document lists every page, every form, every integration and every third-party account the site will touch — priced in TRY, not converted at the end from something else.

The reason this matters more than it sounds: almost every dispute in web development is a scope dispute wearing a different hat. "Can you just add" is how a three-day build becomes a three-week one. Fixing scope up front does not stop you changing your mind; it makes the cost of changing your mind visible before you commit to it, which is the only honest way to run a fixed price.

Trades and field services in Ankara

Builders, electricians, plumbers, roofers and installers share one problem: the customer is deciding on their phone, often standing in the room with the problem, and they will call the first firm that looks like it will pick up. Three things decide it — the phone number tappable in the header, a coverage list naming their town, and photographs of your own finished work rather than stock.

The thing trades sites most often get wrong is the quote form. Asking for a full address, a project budget and a preferred start date before anything else is a form built for your admin convenience, not for the customer. Two fields and a photo upload will produce more enquiries than eight fields ever will, and the rest can be collected on the call you just earned.

Images shipped at ten times the size they display

A hero photograph exported at 4000 pixels wide and displayed at 400 is the most common single cause of a slow page. The browser downloads all of it and then discards most of it. On a phone over mobile data that is several seconds spent waiting for pixels nobody will ever see.

The fix is generating each image at the sizes actually used, serving AVIF or WebP with a fallback, and setting explicit width and height so the layout does not jump while they load. It is mechanical work with a directly measurable result, which makes it the first thing worth doing on almost any Ankara site.

Hiring a developer who is not in Ankara

What makes remote work fail is almost never the distance. It is the absence of a written record — decisions made on calls, nothing agreed in text, two people remembering different things six weeks later. Every Ankara project runs with the scope, the change log and the decisions in writing, which is dull and is the entire reason the fixed price holds.

What I build for Ankara businesses

Fixed-scope, fixed-price, quoted in TRY. The full list is on the services page.

E-commerce website development I build online stores end to end — catalogue, cart, Stripe checkout, order emails and the technical SEO that gets them found. Six of the fifteen sites I have shipped are e-commerce builds, and every one of them takes real payments. From $150 · 7 days Technical SEO audits and implementation Most SEO audits hand you a 60-page document and an invoice. I am a developer first, so I find the problems and then fix them in the codebase — crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and whether AI answer engines can read your site at all. From $80 · 3 days Business website development Most small business websites fail at one job: turning a stranger who searched for your service into a phone call. I build the version that does — three days, mobile-first, live on your own hosting, with the enquiry form tested before anybody sees it. From $80 · 3 days Custom website development A template is the right answer more often than developers like to admit. This page is about the times it is not — when the thing your business does has a shape no theme author anticipated, and forcing it into one costs more in permanent workarounds than building it properly would have cost once. From $200 · 10 days Web application development A website presents information. An application does work — it holds state, enforces rules, and produces something at the end. Most businesses that need the second one are running it on a spreadsheet nobody is allowed to sort, and paying for that in errors rather than in software. From $200 · 10 days

What I am not claiming about Ankara

A location page is the easiest place on a website to imply something untrue, so here is the other side of it plainly:

Ankara web development — common questions

How long does a Ankara project actually take?
Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.
What hours will you be available to us in Ankara?
My working day lands at 07:00–16:00 in your time, which is roughly 7 hours inside a normal Ankara working day. In practice you can raise something in the morning and have it answered the same morning, and a scheduled call is easy to place at a civilised hour for both of us.
Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?
Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?
Thirty days of snag fixes are included after launch at no extra cost — anything that does not work as specified gets fixed. Beyond that there are monthly plans for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. They are optional and cancellable; a site handed over properly does not require a retainer to keep running.
What currency will I be invoiced in?
TRY. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in TRY so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: VAT at 20%.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.
How do you handle our customers' data under KVKK?
Your customer data is governed by KVKK, the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, and sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer. That is resolved by KVKK restricts transfers abroad and explicit consent or a KVKK undertaking is required, published on this site and pre-signed before you send an enquiry — not drafted after you ask about it.

Also covering Turkey

Same terms, same currency, same process — these are the other Turkey towns with a page here.

Where this page sits

This page covers Ankara. Every other town in Turkey is listed on the Turkey coverage page, and the full worldwide list is at all locations.

Before you enquire: pricing is published rather than quoted on request, how I work covers the process end to end, the work page lists live client sites you can open, and vendor information answers the procurement questions.
