Oksijen Events: A Portfolio-Led WordPress Site for an Event Agency
Oksijen Events runs brand launches, dealer meetings, festivals and activations for companies like Hepsiburada, Borusan and Şişecam. We designed and built their Turkish-language WordPress site. It is built around a video showreel, an awards timeline and a set of event case pages.

The challenge
An agency whose work lives in photos and video
Oksijen Events is an Istanbul agency that plans and runs corporate events. These include product launches, dealer and sales team meetings, festivals and guerrilla activations for brands such as Hepsiburada, Borusan, Eti, Decathlon and Şişecam-Paşabahçe. The footage and the client list are what win new work. So the website had to show both to visitors quickly.
Content the team could keep adding to
New events happen all the time. The agency needed a site where staff could publish a new project with its gallery, and update client logos and awards, without asking a developer to build a page each time.
Corporate buyers expect compliance
The buyers are purchasing and marketing teams at large Turkish companies. They expect a supplier to publish proper KVKK (Turkish data protection law) notices, cookie consent and a clear way to get in touch.
Our approach
A showreel-first homepage
The homepage opens with a showreel video that plays by itself behind the headline. The video is hosted on the site's own server. Below it come a horizontal awards timeline (Ace of MICE, Stevie Awards and category wins from 2019 to 2025) and a grid of recent events. Then a three-step section explains how the agency works: concept, storytelling and delivery.
A portfolio built from reusable entries
Each event is a separate entry with its own category. WordPress calls this a custom post type. Each one is published at /projelerimiz/{slug}/. Every entry has an image gallery that opens photos full screen (a lightbox). The same entries feed the homepage grid and the main Projects page, which shows a showcase layout plus a gallery. So adding one project updates the site in all three places.
A theme the client can edit
We built on the Bili theme and Elementor. Our changes sit in a child theme, so they are kept when the theme updates. This let us use the theme's ready-made portfolio, timeline, gallery and info-box blocks. It also lets the Oksijen team edit pages visually. The header and footer are reusable templates. So the contact button, address and social links stay the same on every page.
Compliance and contact built in
A Contact Form 7 inquiry form sits beside the full address, phone numbers and email. A cookie consent banner and a legal section in the footer link to the KVKK policy. They also link to the form people use to make requests about their data, the customer, cookie and camera privacy notices, and the privacy policy.

Results
What is running today
A living portfolio
The site is live with 9 event case pages covering launches, dealer meetings, festivals and campaign activations, a references page with more than 40 client logos, and an awards timeline. All of it can be edited from the WordPress admin.
A credible front door for corporate buyers
Before a purchasing or marketing team gets in touch, they can see the agency's work, clients, awards and KVKK documents. Then they can send an inquiry through the contact form, or use the direct phone and email shown on every page.
Room to grow
Projects are stored as separate entries, not one-off pages. So the portfolio can grow, be filtered by category, or be shown in other layouts without a rebuild.
