Do you actually work with businesses in Izmir?

Yes, remotely. I work with Turkish clients from Islamabad, quoting in TRY and invoicing in TRY. I have no office, address or phone number in Izmir and will not pretend otherwise. If your project needs someone physically present, hire locally — I will say so in the first reply rather than after a deposit.

How much does a website cost in Izmir?

A business website starts from ₺2,700 and goes live in about three days. An e-commerce build starts from ₺5,100 in around seven days, and a custom application from ₺6,800 in ten. Those are starting figures — the exact number is fixed in writing once scope is agreed, and it does not move after that.

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.

What happens if I am not happy with the result?

Work is delivered in milestones against a written scope, and you review each one on a staging URL before it is paid for. If the delivered milestone does not match the scope, it gets corrected before anything moves forward. That structure exists so disagreement is resolved at the stage it happens rather than at the end when it is expensive.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

Can you migrate my Izmir site without losing rankings?

Yes, and the redirect map is the whole job. Every existing URL is mapped to its new equivalent with a 301 before launch, and anything with no equivalent goes to the closest relevant page rather than the homepage. Sites lose rankings in migration because that mapping was skipped, not because migration is inherently risky.

Web developer in Izmir

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

If your Izmir business gets most of its work through word of mouth, your website has a narrower job than you have probably been told. It is not there to find strangers. It is there to reassure someone who already has your name and is checking whether you look real. That is a much easier site to build, and much cheaper.

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, Izmir 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 Izmir 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 Izmir project is paid for, and why it is staged

Payment is split across milestones tied to things you can actually look at — a staging URL, a working checkout, a completed migration — rather than to dates on a calendar. You pay for a milestone after reviewing it, in TRY, which means at no point are you more than one stage out of pocket on work you have not seen.

This exists because the alternative puts all the risk on whichever side pays first, and across a border that asymmetry is the thing that makes people nervous. Staging it does not eliminate the risk; it caps it at one milestone, which is small enough to walk away from. That is a more honest offer than a guarantee I could not enforce from here anyway.

Manufacturing, wholesale and B2B in Izmir

A B2B site in Izmir serves two audiences with opposite needs. A buyer wants specifications, tolerances, lead times and a downloadable datasheet. A procurement officer wants your company registration, insurance, certifications and payment terms. Serving both from one undifferentiated "About" page serves neither of them.

The highest-value feature is almost always a searchable product or capability index carrying real part numbers, because that is what engineers search for. It is unglamorous, it is a database problem rather than a design problem, and it produces enquiries that arrive already qualified.

Structured data that is missing, wrong, or quietly lying

Schema markup is how a search engine reads what a page means rather than only what it says. Missing it costs you rich results. Getting it wrong is worse: marking up review stars you do not have, or a LocalBusiness at an address that is not yours, risks a manual action rather than a ranking.

Every page I build carries schema matching what is actually on it and nothing beyond that. The restraint is deliberate — this page uses Service and areaServed rather than LocalBusiness, precisely because there is no physical presence in Izmir to assert.

Hiring a developer who is not in Izmir

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 Izmir 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 Izmir 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 Izmir

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

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Izmir
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Izmir specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
