Web and software for manufacturers and exporters in Izmir

Izmir exports. The pattern we see most often is simple and expensive: the product is ready for export markets and the website is not.

Why multilingual sites go wrong so consistently

Three mistakes account for most of it. The first is translating instead of localising: the menu is translated, but product names, units and technical terms use dictionary equivalents rather than what the target market actually calls them. The buyer searches for their term and finds nothing.

The second is missing hreflang: search engines are never told that two language versions are alternates of the same page, so the versions compete for the same ranking. This is purely technical and can be fixed without writing a word of content.

The third is the contact path. An overseas buyer will not fill in a bare form; they want to know who answers, in which language, and within which hours. Publishing that costs nothing and changes conversion directly — which is why our own site states its time zone and languages.

What an export-ready site must have

If the product is ready, the site should be too.

  • A catalogue with technical data. Buyers look for dimensions, materials, certification and packaging — an “our products” page is not enough.
  • The target market’s language, not a translation. Terms should match what that market uses.
  • Correct hreflang and country targeting. Otherwise language versions cannibalise each other.
  • Time zone and response language stated. It is the overseas buyer’s first question.
  • Downloadable certificates. Purchasing departments want files, not claims.

Process

We are not in your city — so how does this work?

On export sites, time is lost mostly while language content arrives incomplete. Every stage states what is expected from you and what from us.

  1. A call, with screens shared

    First contact is a phone or video call; we walk through your existing system with your screen shared. It is free and ends with a written summary.

  2. Scope in writing, price against it

    The biggest risk in remote work is a verbal understanding. What will be built is written down item by item; the price does not move unless the scope does.

  3. A working version every week

    We show progress rather than describe it: every week you open a working version on your own device. You never have to ask how it is going.

  4. Handover

    Domain, server access, email and data are registered to your own accounts. We walk you through it on a screen recording that stays with you.

  5. Maintenance — distance is irrelevant

    Servers, backups, updates and monitoring sit with us. Nobody has to travel to fix a fault, which makes response faster than being in the same city.

Frequently asked

Do you have an office in Izmir?

No — we work remotely. Meetings run by phone and online; catalogues and technical documents are exchanged as files. Work that requires being physically present — factory photography, on-site measurement — needs a local supplier, and we plan that into the project as a separate item rather than pretending we cover it.

How many languages can we add, and what drives the cost?

There is no technical limit; the platform is built multilingual from the start, so adding a language is not a rebuild. The real cost is translation and ongoing content maintenance: every new language repeats itself at every content update. Our advice is to stay within the markets you actually sell into and keep the architecture open for later additions.

Can you set up international payments?

Yes — we build setups with international payment providers and multiple currencies. Which provider suits you depends on the countries you sell into and the commission structure, which is a commercial decision rather than a technical one and should involve your finance advisor. We handle the integration.

Will it work with our existing ERP?

If there is a connection point: an API, database access or scheduled file transfer. That is the first thing we check in discovery. Most ERPs common in Türkiye offer an integration route; closed systems can be handled with file-based approaches. The same team runs the integration side.
