Web design in Istanbul — for manufacturers and exporters.

According to data from the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM), companies with their registered office in Istanbul exported 95.20 billion dollars in 2025, placing Istanbul at number 1 of 81 provinces.

The three largest export categories: Chemicals and Chemical Products (18.6%), Ready-to-Wear and Apparel (11.6%), Electrical and Electronics (9.5%).

The three largest markets: Germany (8.1%), United Kingdom (5.2%), USA (5%). The languages of those markets are the first input for deciding which languages an export website is built in.

Chemicals and plastics: the technical data sheet should be the site itself

Chemicals and chemical products rank first in Istanbul’s exports. In this sector buyers compare products by their technical values: product data sheet, safety data sheet, declarations of conformity. If these documents are buried in a PDF archive, neither search engines nor answer engines can read the content; they are written as HTML on the product page itself, and the PDF remains only a download option. Each product has its own address, its own title and its own structured data.

Apparel and textiles: capacity, not collection

Apparel ranks second. A foreign buyer looks less for a collection catalog than for supply assurance: production capacity, sampling process, compliance and certification information, lead time. When this information is clear and up to date on the site’s own pages, passing the buyer’s first screening becomes easier. The Fersan Tekstil and Karcem sites we built for fabric manufacturers show how this layer is built in seven languages.

Electrical and electronics: documents and versions

In electrical and electronics, products are updated often; buyers want to reach the document for the right version. When each product version has its own page, change notes and conformity documents, the support load drops and search engines do not confuse the old version with the new one.

A spread-out market: one language is not enough

Istanbul’s exports do not lean on a single market; the top three are Germany, the United Kingdom and the US. This makes English essential as the common language and German a priority for most sectors. Each language is written as a separate publishing job, according to that market’s search demand; the details of multilingual architecture are in the multilingual site architecture guide.

In a crowded search result, the difference lies in what can be measured

A search for “web design Istanbul” gathers hundreds of agencies and directories on the same page. In that crowd, the difference is a measurable delivery: how fast pages load for real users, the accessibility baseline, the number of pages indexed. This site itself carries those measurements live; on the sites we deliver, speed and accessibility are not a promise but a deliverable.

On every page the process runs through the same four steps: discovery and scope, art direction, build, measurement and handover. The steps are detailed on the corporate web design page; this page covers only what is local. The studio is in Istanbul: with Istanbul-based companies, the discovery meeting and key decisions can be held in person on request, while drafts and handover proceed through video meetings and written reports.

Istanbul, TR — remote by default; on site when it matters.
