Web design in Büyükçekmece: websites for coastal, trade fair, and year-round businesses

A waterfront restaurant packed in July and a hotel awaiting trade fair visitors in November operate on very different schedules within the same district. This difference sets web design in Büyükçekmece apart: some businesses serve the summer season, some the trade fair calendar, and others the year-round residential population. Website development in Büyükçekmece therefore involves planning from the start whom the website will address in each month, as well as designing pages.

Onur Freelance is based in Gülsuyu, Maltepe, and also handles corporate websites, promotional websites with booking features, and e-commerce projects on WordPress for businesses at the city’s western edge. Initial meetings with Büyükçekmece businesses usually take place by video, with site visits arranged when the premises need to be seen. A priced quote is sent the same day after a WhatsApp message or phone call.

Completed projects similar to business types in Büyükçekmece

This page does not yet feature a completed project from Büyükçekmece. Similar business types are described on the portfolio pages, with sections viewable on live websites. These examples show how websites for seasonal venues, service businesses, and real estate agencies are structured.

According to Büyükçekmece Kaymakamlığı’s district overview, the district has 24 neighborhoods, stretching from Dizdariye and Fatih to Kumburgaz Merkez, Celaliye, and Kamiloba. The same overview lists 19,147 workplaces and 19 hotels and notes a substantial summer population increase in this coastal district. Its current boundaries were established in 2008 under Law No. 5747; until then, Esenyurt and Beylikdüzü were also part of Büyükçekmece.

• Waterfront restaurants and cafés: Kaplan Kebap restaurant website (separate phone lines for orders and reservations, a catering request form, and photo and video galleries).
• Businesses serving summer residential complexes: Airpool pool construction and maintenance website (service cards, project gallery, and a separate quote page).
• Real estate offices handling summer rentals and sales: Başarır Aksoy real estate website (a property submission form with sale and rental options, and a portfolio link).
• Service businesses operating through winter: Bülbül Isı boiler and air conditioning service website (a top bar showing opening hours and a callback form on every service page).
• Transport companies busiest during trade fairs: Favorit Nakliyat website (calling and WhatsApp in the top bar, plus service and district pages).

All projects are listed on the portfolio page. An overview of European Side districts is on the web design in Istanbul page, while information for businesses in the district’s eastern neighbor is on the web design in Esenyurt page.

Three sides of Büyükçekmece: the fair entrance, lake outlet, and summer coast

Büyükçekmece borders Beylikdüzü and Esenyurt to the east, Silivri to the west, and Çatalca and Arnavutköy to the north, with the Marmara coast to the south. The TEM highway and D-100 road pass through the district. Its economy rests on industry, commerce, and tourism, with each playing a different role in different areas.

Two major sites stand out in Cumhuriyet Mahallesi at the district’s eastern end. The first is TÜYAP Fuar ve Kongre Merkezi. Although its official address is in Büyükçekmece, it is commonly called “Beylikdüzü TÜYAP” because it is very close to that district’s border. The second is Beykent Üniversitesi’s Beylikdüzü campus. Despite the name, its official address is also in Beykent, Cumhuriyet Mahallesi, Büyükçekmece. With faculties including medicine, dentistry, and health sciences, the campus brings year-round student and staff activity to the area.

The landscape changes farther west. Where Büyükçekmece Gölü meets the Marmara Sea stands the 28-arched Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Köprüsü, built by Mimar Sinan in 1566-1567. The lake itself supplies drinking water to Istanbul. Farther west begins the coastal strip of Mimarsinan, Kumburgaz, Celaliye, and Kamiloba; Kumburgaz alone has approximately 8 kilometers of Marmara coastline.

Businesses operating around the TÜYAP calendar

Some web design requests in Büyükçekmece are directly tied to the trade fair calendar. Large events at TÜYAP, such as the book fair, create busy periods for nearby hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, exhibition stand builders, printers, and transport companies. Fair visitors are often unfamiliar with the city and decide quickly on their phones when looking for nearby accommodation, food, or printing. The current event calendar is published on the TÜYAP İstanbul website, allowing businesses serving the fair area to plan campaigns accordingly.

A website serving fair visitors should show these details on the first screen:

• Distance to the fairgrounds: Walking or driving time in text, with a map link.
• Transit note: The Beylikdüzü Son Durak connection for Metrobus users, also recommended by TÜYAP.
• Fair-period information: Extended opening hours, group bookings, or urgent printing turnaround times.
• Language for overseas visitors: For international fairs, a short English page is considered separately during scope discussions.

For exhibition stand building or fair logistics, the client is usually a company traveling from another city to exhibit, making its decision remotely. Photos of previous stands, service scope, and a quick quote form therefore take priority. Examples of page structures for these businesses appear on the corporate web design service page.

Summer and winter differences in Kumburgaz and coastal neighborhoods

For summer residential complexes, beach businesses, restaurants, and real estate offices along the coast, a few months are much busier than the rest of the year. Büyükçekmece Kültür ve Sanat Festivali in July brings additional visitors during this period. A website that misses the season opening also misses the weeks when it is most likely to be searched for.

In winter, businesses serving permanent residents become more prominent along the same coastline: plumbers, property management companies, renovation contractors, and training centers. Web design planning in Büyükçekmece accounts for both patterns. Seasonal businesses keep their websites online in winter, showing closure information and links for next season’s bookings or preregistration. Real estate offices separate summer rentals from sales listings so both customer groups can quickly find what they need.
