What is the difference between a corporate website and a “ready site”?
Ready-made site solutions may work for certain situations; but are generally limited in terms of:
  • performance and speed,
  • mobile experience,
  • SEO and content flexibility,
  • special integration needs,
  • security and KVKK compliance
. A corporate website is designed and developed specifically for your brand's goals, industry and integration needs.
What is critical in the web & software infrastructure for hotels?
In hotel projects:
  • fast and mobile compatible web,
  • net room/concept presentation,
  • reservation engine integration,
  • PMS-OTA connections,
  • multilingual structure,

What does “performance-oriented” web infrastructure mean?
Performance-oriented web infrastructure is an infrastructure that meets criteria such as
  • opening times of less than 3 seconds,
  • acceptable levels in Core Web Vitals (Core Web Performance Metrics) metrics,
  • seamless experience on mobile,
  • clean code and optimized visuals,
  • stable and scalable server infrastructure
. Since 53% of users abandon sites that open in more than 3 seconds, infrastructure performance directly affects revenue and bookings.
Is it possible to improve the existing infrastructure instead of building a new site?
In most cases yes. Your existing infrastructure is examined;
  • basic performance problems,
  • technical obstacles,
  • content architecture problems,
  • integration deficiencies
are identified. While improvement may be sufficient in some projects, in some cases “trying to improve the old” may be more costly and risky than doing a new project. The decision should be made after detailed analysis.
How long does a web & software project take?
Duration; varies depending on the scope of the project:
  • Simple corporate site: 4–8 weeks,
  • Multilingual hotel site with reservation infrastructure: 8–16 weeks,
  • Projects with special integration or panel development: longer.
The important thing here is not to rush the design, development, integration and testing processes.
On the web & software side, which one-time project or continuous service makes more sense?
Even though the infrastructure is established once, there is a need for continuous maintenance and development due to
  • new integration needs,
  • security updates,
  • performance optimizations,
  • content & design updates
. That's why a one-time launch + ongoing maintenance/support model is best for most projects.
Why is the combination of “internal IT team + external software partner” recommended?
Your IT team; He knows the internal processes and operations very well, and sees the relationship of the infrastructure with other systems of the company better. The external software partner is; Brings expertise on web technologies, performance, security, UX and integration. The model where two parties work together is advantageous in terms of both flexibility and quality.
How does web & software infrastructure affect SEO and advertising performance?
Infrastructure; SEO is the backbone of advertising and social media performance. A site that is slow, mobile-incompatible or has technical problems will lead to:
  • loss of visibility in SEO,
  • high cost per click and low conversion in advertising campaigns,
  • loss of social media traffic on the site
. Therefore, the web & software side should be considered together with marketing investments.
