A one-person workshop

About

I'm based in Ankara. I don't treat design and code as separate trades — when both sit on the same bench, the work comes out fast and careful at once. I work with agencies and directly with businesses.

On the web side, corporate sites and CMS-driven builds; on mobile, my own products. Including this site: the workshop on the home page — robot, sea and elevator included — was built on this very bench.

// the robot was built here too — on the right, watching you.

Cross-section of the workshop

The building you toured on the home page, laid out on a plan: three floors, a freight elevator, a spiral staircase. Hover the floors — click and it takes you there.

The workshop's story

  1. It started with curiosity

    Taking apart how things on a screen were made and rebuilding them — first pages, first broken layouts.

  2. First real jobs

    Sites for small businesses, migrated mailboxes, rescued WordPress installs. Work teaches once it's live.

  3. Agency partnerships

    Steady work with ad agencies: corporate sites, CMS setups, QR menus, analytics and SEO.

  4. Products of my own

    Celestine and AnkaraGO: end-to-end product practice on mobile — from data pipeline to store prep.

  5. Today: this workshop

    Design + code from one pair of hands. Including the site you're touring — a showcase that doubles as proof.

How I work

I don't arrive with a template.

Every job starts from the brand's own problem: who are you talking to, why do people come to the site? I don't draw a single screen before the answers are clear. That's why my work doesn't look alike — Müjgan's nightlife and Clayton's corporate order come from the same hands, but not the same mold.

Speed is not an excuse.

If a site that was fast on launch day bloats and slows six months later, the job wasn't finished. Static generation, smart caching, restrained JavaScript: my sites are built to a PageSpeed 90+ target and looked after so they stay there.

A delivery is a product, not a file.

I don't hand over a link and vanish. Analytics get set up, Search Console gets watched, content gets updated, and the product grows as new needs arrive. A site's real life starts AFTER launch.
