01 / Story

Why we exist

Every project starts with the same question: what will this website, this shop, this piece of software actually do for your business? Until that is clear, we don’t write a line of code.

Our early years were about company websites. Then our clients wanted to sell online, so e-commerce and payment integrations followed. After sales came operations: QR inventory systems for stock counts, desktop apps that run in the field, admin panels teams open every single day.

Today we work with healthcare clinics, hearing-care brands operating in Türkiye, Germany and the EU, architecture practices, manufacturers and associations. We stay deliberately small: the person you talk to is the person who builds your project.

02 / Timeline

Timeline: 2007 – 2026

2007
The start
01
The first company websites
Hand-coded, fast and easy-to-maintain websites for small businesses and independent professionals.
02
E-commerce and payment integrations
Product catalogues, virtual POS and payment gateways: the years our clients took their sales online.
03
Custom software: QR inventory, desktop apps
Where off-the-shelf software fell short, we built our own tools: QR-based inventory tracking, Electron desktop apps, Django admin panels.
04
Multilingual European projects
Sites for brands in Germany and the EU, published in Turkish, English and German and reading like a native in every market.
05
The Next.js and headless era
Today: fast digital products built with Next.js, headless content management and Core Web Vitals targets.
2026
Today

03 / Principles

Five principles we won’t bend on.

01 / 05
Performance first
Speed isn’t a feature, it’s a precondition. We build every page to Core Web Vitals targets and measure before anything goes live.
02 / 05
Measurable goals
“Make it look nice” isn’t a goal. Before we start, we agree in writing how success will be measured: enquiries, sales, speed, search visibility.
03 / 05
You own everything
Source code, domain, content and accounts are in your name. If we ever part ways, you take all of it with you.
04 / 05
Direct communication
No account managers, no layers in between. You ask the person doing the work and get an answer within one business day.
05 / 05
Support for the long run
Launch day is a beginning, not an end. For updates, maintenance and new needs, you keep the team that has known your codebase from day one.

04 / How we work

Clear scope, visible progress.

We don’t like surprises, and neither do you. Every project follows the same four-step rhythm.

First call
01. Direct line to the builder
From the first call to handover you speak to the person building your project. The brief never changes hands and nothing gets lost in translation.
Proposal
02. Fixed scope, fixed price
After the intro call we send a proposal that spells out scope, timeline and price. If the scope needs to change, we talk first and price second.
Every week
03. Weekly demos
Every week you see a working build. Your feedback shapes the project along the way, not after it’s finished.
Handover
04. A complete handover
Source code, every login, documentation and a short training session for your team. And we’re still here for support after launch.

05 / Toolbox

The right tool for each job.

We pick technology for what the project needs, not for what’s fashionable. The tools we reach for most:
