Websites for the Turkish Market: What Changes
The site that works for you at home will not work in Turkey just because it has been translated. People here search and read in Turkish, browse on their phones, pay with local cards, and expect the site to ask before it sets tracking cookies. If you sell online, there are also rules about registration and contract texts. This is what we plan for when we build a site for the Turkish market.
Written in Turkish, Not Translated
A translated page keeps the shape of the English sentence and misses the words people in Turkey actually type into Google. We write the Turkish copy ourselves, page by page, around what your customers search for, and send it to you with an English translation before it goes live.
Built for the Phone First
Nearly four out of five web page views in Turkey come from mobile (Statcounter, October 2026). We start the design on the phone screen, keep the pages light so they open quickly on a mobile connection, and put the call, WhatsApp or form button where a thumb reaches it.
Local Card Payments and Delivery
Shoppers in Turkey pay with Turkish bank cards, through a virtual POS from a bank or a payment provider such as iyzico or PayTR, often with an instalment option at checkout. For online stores, connecting a virtual POS and a cargo company is part of our standard scope. We check which provider and carrier fit your business before we start, and the store goes live with both tested.
Consent Before Tracking Cookies
Turkey's data protection law, KVKK, has its own consent rules. The regulator's cookie guide asks for explicit consent before cookies that are not strictly necessary are set, which includes analytics and advertising cookies. We set up a consent banner and connect your analytics and ad tags to it, so they load only after the visitor agrees.
Registration and Contract Texts for Online Stores
If you sell online in Turkey from your own site, the Ministry of Trade expects you to register in its e-commerce information system, ETBİS, before you start (Ministry of Trade). Turkish consumer law also asks the seller to give pre-contract information and a distance sales contract that the buyer sees before placing the order (Distance Contracts Regulation). We build the checkout so these texts appear and are confirmed at the right step. The texts themselves should come from your legal adviser.
Your Home-Market Website, Built from Turkey
We also build English-language websites for companies selling in their own markets, with the work done in Turkey. Our working hours (UTC+3) overlap with the UK, Europe and the Gulf, so you can reach us during your working day.
The work follows the same steps as a Turkish site: scope, structure, design, build, testing and launch. You follow progress on a staging link and see every page before it goes live. If your visitors are in the EU or the UK, the consent banner follows the rules there as well.
If you also sell in Turkey, the same site can carry both languages, with separate pages and addresses for each, and one team looks after it.
What We Build
Most of our sites run on WordPress, and our online stores on WooCommerce. WordPress gives us control over every setting search engines care about, and lets you add a shop, a booking module or new languages later without rebuilding. When a project needs something WordPress cannot do well, we build it as custom software, and we tell you so at the start.
Company Websites
Clear pages about your company, your services and how to reach you, written for the people you want to win in Turkey.
Online Stores
Products, stock, delivery and payments in one admin panel, with a Turkish virtual POS and a cargo company connected.
Landing Pages
Fast pages built around one offer, with conversion tracking in place, for your Google Ads and Meta campaigns.
Redesigns
We review your current site and tell you whether to improve it or start again. Sometimes fixing the structure is enough.
Integrations and Custom Modules
Connections to your CRM, accounting or booking system, and modules your workflow needs, such as quote forms or calculators.
A landing page works best when it is planned together with the campaign that sends people to it. We also run Google Ads in Turkey, so the page and the ads are built by the same team.

How We Work
A company website usually goes live in 2-4 weeks. Online stores with many products and projects with custom development take longer. What delays a project most often is content, so we agree on the schedule and on who prepares which texts and images at the start.
Discovery and scope
We talk about your business, your customers in Turkey and what the site has to do, and agree on the scope in writing.
Structure and content plan
We plan the pages and the words your customers search for, and decide who prepares each text and image.
Design
We design the pages, starting from the phone screen, and show them to you before we build.
Build and content
We build the site, write the Turkish copy, set up payments, forms, tracking and the consent banner.
Testing
We test the site on different phones and browsers, check its speed and run test orders and form submissions.
Launch and handover
The site goes live, and we walk you through the admin panel so you can update it yourself.
Web Design Pricing
We quote in US dollars and send you the quote in writing before any work starts.
- Landing page: from $500.
- Company website: from $1,000.
- Online stores and custom development: quoted on scope.
- Domain and hosting: the first year is included in the price. From the second year, they are billed yearly.
- Maintenance: optional, for a monthly fee, if you want us to look after the site after launch.
Two sites that look alike can end up at very different prices because of what runs behind them. These are the things that move the price:
- Type of site: a company site and a store with payments, delivery and stock management are different jobs.
- Design: adapting a ready-made theme to your brand takes far less work than designing every page from scratch.
- Custom development: booking systems, member areas, calculators or a connection to your own software add to the scope.
- Content: whether your texts and images are ready, or we write and prepare them.
- Languages: every additional language means more design and content work.

Let's scope your website together
Tell us what the site needs to do. We'll define the scope with you and send you a written quote.
Ownership, Hosting and Support
- The site is yours. The domain and hosting are registered in your company's name, and the site files, the database and the domain belong to you. If you ever move to another provider, we hand over everything needed for the move.
- We run the hosting. We manage the technical side of the hosting, so updates, backups and security are handled.
- You can update it yourself. We keep the admin panel simple, so you can add products, publish posts or change your contact details without technical knowledge, and we walk you through it at handover.
- Support after launch. Our monthly maintenance covers software and plugin updates, security checks, backups and support when something goes wrong. A site that is not kept up to date causes security and speed problems over time.
Working with Us from Abroad
You can work with us entirely remotely:
- English throughout. Meetings are in English, and every Turkish text comes to you with an English translation.
- Everything online. We work over video calls and shared files, and you see the site on a staging link before it goes live.
- Quotes in US dollars. We quote in US dollars and invoice in English.
Why Work with DigienSEO?
We don't see a website as a job on its own. The team that builds your site also runs SEO in Turkey and the ad campaigns, so design decisions are made with search and advertising in mind from the first day.
Ready for Search from Day One
Heading structure, readable addresses, optimised images, internal links and a sitemap are part of the build, not an extra.
Turkish Copy by Our Team
We write the Turkish pages ourselves, around what your customers search for, and you approve them with an English translation.
One Team for Site, SEO and Ads
The people who build the site also bring visitors to it, so you never hear that the site is not suitable for SEO after launch.
The Site Stays Yours
Domain, files and data are in your name, and you have access to the admin panel from the start.
Support After Launch
We keep the site updated, backed up and secure, and help when something goes wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost?
A landing page starts at $500 and a company website at $1,000. The first year of your domain and hosting is included; from the second year they are billed yearly. Online stores and custom development are quoted on scope. We send you a written quote in US dollars before any work starts.
How long does it take to build a website?
A company website usually goes live in 2-4 weeks. Online stores with many products and projects with custom development take longer. What delays a project most often is content: if the texts and images arrive late, the site waits even when the design is ready. That is why we agree on the schedule with you at the start.
Can you build the site in Turkish and English?
Yes. We set up the site so that each language has its own pages and addresses, which search engines need to show the right version to the right people. We write the Turkish copy ourselves, as native speakers, and send it to you with an English translation before it goes live.
Will I own the website and the domain?
Yes. The domain and hosting are registered in your company's name, and the site files, the database and the domain are yours. We run the technical side of the hosting, so updates, backups and security are handled. If you ever move to another provider, we hand over everything needed for the move.
Which platform do you build on?
Most of our sites run on WordPress, and our online stores on WooCommerce. WordPress gives us control over every setting search engines care about, and it lets you add a shop, a booking module or new languages later without rebuilding. When a project needs something WordPress cannot do well, we build it as custom software, and we tell you so at the start.
Can my store take card payments from customers in Turkey?
Yes. Connecting a Turkish virtual POS and a cargo company is part of our standard scope for online stores. Before we start, we check which payment provider and which carrier fit your business, and the store goes live with both tested.
What happens after the site goes live?
You can update the content yourself from a simple admin panel, and we walk you through it at handover. If you want us to look after the site, our monthly maintenance covers software and plugin updates, security checks, backups and support when something goes wrong.
Will my site rank on Google?
We build every site ready for search: a clear heading structure, readable addresses, optimised images, internal links and a sitemap. That removes the technical obstacles, but it does not put a new site at the top of the results on day one. Ranking is separate work, which our SEO team can take on.
Do we need to meet in person?
No. We work remotely with clients abroad: video calls in English, shared files and a staging link where you can see the site before it goes live. If you are in Turkey and prefer to meet, we can arrange that too.
