Modern Website Development for Turkish Accountancy Firm

Modern website for a Turkish accountancy firm. Before, they were using an outdated WordPress template, which is very common for local accountancy businesses in Turkey. They would benefit from a modern, sleek website to look more professional and up-to-date while also making the experience of reading their posts better for the viewers. They also had problems with hosting their old website due to the clunky WordPress system and the old cPanel hosting methods. They were frequently getting viruses. We needed to have a secure modern hosting and backend system.

The business belongs to a couple who are both accountants. The characteristics of the business are both professional and friendly. So adding some warmth alongside style was important. But it was also important to not go too far with it, otherwise the professional image could break.

For the primary color, chose a warm and slightly vivid blue. The generic dark blue color accountants use in Turkey was too sterile, so we added a bit of warmth this way.

Chose a light gold color to bring a little more liveliness and the sense of richness to the design.

Display font: Crimson Pro as it is a nice serif font that brings out the beauty of the Turkish words in the heading

Sans font: Readex Pro because it is both readable and feels warm without being eccentric

Added fade-in animation on load to the hero section only. The rest of the content is mostly long-form text, so I avoided adding animations to the rest of it.

Blog with category filter (backend built with sanity.io, with markdown editor plugin)

Blog listing of latest 4 posts on the home page, rest in the /posts page

Updates feature (Duyurular) so that they can publish small updates without creating whole blog posts

Content is fully editable by the client via the Sanity admin panel

Multiple branch locations support instead of one single address

SvelteKit for fast loading content through SSR

SASS for easy responsive styling

Sanity for the CMS

Deployed on Cloudflare Pages (they provide good email protection against bots)

Website now achieves +95/100 mobile and 100/100 Lighthouse performance scores.
