— ABOUT WEB ASTRA
Small studio. Senior hands. No hand-offs to juniors.
Web Astra is a web design agency in Istanbul run by the people who do the work. You brief a designer and a developer directly, and the same two people are there at launch — and the following year, when you need a landing page in a hurry.
IN SHORT
FOUNDED
2017, Istanbul
TEAM
Four specialists
LANGUAGES
Turkish, English
FOCUS
Enquiries + automation
WHERE WE WORK
Istanbul-based, timezone-friendly.
We meet clients across Istanbul in person and run everything else remotely — Europe, the UK and the Gulf — with calls in your working hours and one point of contact.
HOW WE THINK
Four rules we do not bend.
They are the reason projects here land on the date we promised.
RULE 01
The enquiry is the product
A beautiful site that does not generate contact requests has failed. Every page starts from: what should the visitor do next?
RULE 02
Speed is a design decision
No bloated page builders, no twelve plugins doing one job. Median mobile load under two seconds at handover.
RULE 03
You own everything
Domain, hosting, analytics, ad accounts, source files. We hand over logins on day one, not as leverage at the end.
RULE 04
Automate the boring half
If a task is repeated weekly and follows rules, software should do it. We build the workflow and document it.
2017
Started as one designer
Freelance work for Istanbul clinics and cafés, mostly rescue jobs on abandoned sites.
2020
Became a studio
A developer and an SEO specialist joined. First e-commerce builds and first international clients.
2023 →
Added automation
Clients kept asking who could handle the admin behind the enquiries. Now every project ships with AI-assisted workflows.
