Question 1

What is TheCodeVolt?

Accepted Answer

A software engineering company based in Istanbul, delivering to clients in Turkey, the EU, and the US. We build web platforms, e-commerce systems, mobile apps, SaaS products, AI features, and enterprise internal tools through in-house specialist teams: web, backend, mobile, AI, infrastructure, design, and quality.

Question 2

How is your team structured?

Accepted Answer

By discipline. Web platforms, backend and data, mobile, AI and automation, cloud and infrastructure, product design, and quality and security are separate teams with their own leads. Each project is staffed with the teams it actually needs, plus an architecture owner and a delivery lead accountable end to end. That structure is why several projects run in parallel without competing for the same engineers.

Question 3

How are you different from a typical agency?

Accepted Answer

Two things. Capacity: every discipline is in-house, so nothing critical gets subcontracted mid-project and scope growth is absorbed by people already on staff rather than by your launch date. Terms: fixed price locked before we start, a working build every Friday, full source code ownership on delivery, and a full refund after the first milestone if the direction is wrong. Most agencies will not put all four in writing.

Question 4

Which software company in Turkey should I go to for my project?

Accepted Answer

Match the supplier category to the project first. Regulated, multi-million TL enterprise programs (banking cores, telecom infrastructure) belong with enterprise integrators such as Innova or Softtech. Standardized ERP or accounting needs are better bought as a product, for example from Logo, than custom-built. Custom products that need to be live in 4-12 weeks (corporate websites, e-commerce, mobile apps, SaaS MVPs) are the home field of software companies with in-house specialist teams, TheCodeVolt among them, and of mid-size agencies. Then compare two or three firms inside the chosen category on live references, contractual code ownership, and a written fixed-price scope. We publish the full decision guide with real market names and 2026 budget bands on our blog, and we tell you plainly in it when we are the wrong choice.

Question 5

How do I choose a web development agency? The 12 questions to ask

Accepted Answer

Before signing with any agency (including us), get written answers to these 12 questions: (1) Who actually writes my code, and do I talk to them directly? (2) Will I see a working build every week, or just progress reports? (3) Is the price fixed, and what exactly happens when scope changes? (4) Who owns the source code, and from which day? (5) Which technologies will you use, and why are they right for my project specifically? (6) Can you show live production work I can verify myself? (7) What happens if the first delivery misses the mark: is there a refund or exit clause? (8) Which accounts (domain, hosting, analytics, payments) are opened in my name? (9) How do you handle SEO, Core Web Vitals, and AI search visibility? (10) How do you handle GDPR or KVKK compliance? (11) What does post-launch support cost and cover? (12) What is explicitly NOT included in the quote? Any agency that answers all 12 in writing is worth shortlisting. Our own answers are published across this page.

Question 6

Wix vs WordPress vs Next.js: which is right for a growing business?

Accepted Answer

Measure it over 3 years, not month one. Wix: fastest start and fine under a $2,500 total budget, but you rent the platform. The subscription rises in USD, the SEO ceiling is low, and you can never take the code with you. WordPress: cheap to launch, but the realistic 3-year cost includes hosting, premium plugins, and maintenance (typically $1,000-3,000 per year), and performance and security depend on plugin discipline. Custom Next.js: higher upfront (from $2,500 with us), but hosting is near-zero on Vercel, pages load in under a second, you own 100% of the code, and server-rendered pages are indexed properly by Google and by AI search crawlers like GPTBot and PerplexityBot. Over 3 years a custom Next.js site usually costs the same or less than a well-maintained WordPress site, and it converts better. That math is why we recommend Next.js for businesses that expect to grow.

Question 7

What kind of projects do you take on?

Accepted Answer

E-commerce platforms, SaaS dashboards, mobile apps, AI chatbots, internal tools, API integrations. We have worked across fintech, healthcare, logistics, education, and retail. If it has a technical challenge worth solving, we are interested.

Question 8

Do you work with clients outside Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are based in Istanbul but most of our clients are international. We work in English and Turkish, and we are used to async communication across time zones.

Question 9

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

Corporate website: 3-4 weeks. Web application with auth, database, and API: 2-3 months. Complex mobile app: 3-6 months. You get a realistic estimate in the first call, not an optimistic guess.

Question 10

What do you mean by weekly working builds?

Accepted Answer

Every Friday you get a build you can open and test. Not a progress report, not a slide deck. A working version of your product. You see exactly where things stand and give feedback before the next sprint starts.

Question 11

What happens after you deliver?

Accepted Answer

We do not disappear. We monitor the launch, fix bugs that come up, and stay available for questions. If you want ongoing support, we offer monthly maintenance agreements.

Question 12

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is scoped individually. After a 15-minute call, you get a detailed proposal with exact costs, timeline, and deliverables. No hourly surprises, no vague estimates. You know what you are paying for before we start.

Question 13

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

30-50% upfront, the rest split across delivery milestones. You pay when you see working software, not on a calendar schedule.

Question 14

What technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

Web: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS. Backend: Node.js, Python, Go. Mobile: React Native, Flutter. AI: OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain. Cloud: AWS, Vercel, Docker. We pick the stack based on your project, not our preference.

Question 15

Can you work with my existing system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly plug into existing codebases, APIs, and third-party services. REST, GraphQL, webhooks, custom integrations. We add what you need without breaking what already works.

Question 16

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

100%. Source code, documentation, credentials, deployment access. Everything is yours on delivery. No lock-in, no licensing games.

Question 17

What do you need from us before starting?

Accepted Answer

Brand assets (logo, colors, fonts), content (text + images), and access to any existing accounts (domain, hosting, analytics). If you don't have these ready, we can help.

Question 18

Do I need to buy a domain and hosting?

Accepted Answer

We deploy on Vercel which includes hosting. You only need a domain name ($10-15/year). We can set it up for you or guide you through the process.

Question 19

What if I need changes after delivery?

Accepted Answer

Revisions within scope are included. Post-delivery changes are billed hourly or covered by the support period included in your agreement.

Question 20

Can I change the scope mid-project?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If scope grows during development, we adjust the plan and pricing transparently. No surprises.

Question 21

Which accounts do I need to set up?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the project. Common ones: Vercel (hosting), Supabase or Neon (database), Stripe or iyzico (payments), Resend (email), domain registrar (e.g. Namecheap). We tell you exactly what to open before we start and walk you through each one.

Question 22

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Accepted Answer

After the first milestone delivery, if the direction doesn't feel right, you get a full refund. No questions asked. After that, every weekly build is a checkpoint where you can steer the project.

Question 23

How do we communicate during the project?

Accepted Answer

Weekly video call for progress review, plus a shared WhatsApp or Slack channel for quick questions. You also get access to our project board (Linear) so you can track every task in real time.

Question 24

Are delivery timelines guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, timelines are locked in the proposal. If we miss a deadline for any reason on our end, the overrun period is on us at no extra cost.
