Tenekecioğlu: A Bilingual WordPress Site for a Nail and Steel Exporter
Tenekecioğlu (TNK) runs a nail factory in Salihli Organized Industrial Zone that exports mainly to the US. It also trades pig iron, billets and other steel raw materials, and invests in solar power. We built its Turkish and English WordPress site around product pages, certificates and corporate policies.

The challenge
Three businesses under one family name
Tenekecioğlu is a family group from the Alaşehir and Manisa area. Under the TNK brand it makes collated and bulk nails for export, mainly to the US. It trades steel raw materials such as pig iron, billets, wire rod, steel plate and coal. It has also moved into making electricity with solar plants. The website had to present a factory, a trading desk and an energy investor without confusing any of them.
Buyers abroad check credentials first
Foreign buyers and purchasing teams want to see product specifications, ISO certification and corporate policies before they ask for a quote. Most of them read English.
Our approach
A product page for each line
Every nail type (bulk, common, duplex, wire-collated, plastic-strip framing nails and wire products) and every raw material has its own page, built as portfolio entries. Each page describes the product and ends with a quote request block giving the phone number and email.
Navigation by business line
A large drop-down menu splits the site into Corporate, Nails, Sectors and Products. A nail buyer and a steel buyer each reach their section in one click. The Sectors area covers industry and trade and electricity generation.
Credentials in the open
The Corporate page links the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 10002 certificates as PDFs, next to the profit distribution, occupational health and safety, personal data protection and social responsibility policies.
Two languages and a contact form on every page
Polylang serves Turkish and English versions with hreflang tags. On every page, a Contact Form 7 inquiry form opens in a pop-up window. The contact page also has a Google map.

What is running today
A credible first stop for export buyers
The site is live in Turkish and English. It has separate pages for the nail range and the steel raw materials, ISO certificates to download, and published corporate policies. This is what an international buyer checks before sending an inquiry.
Inquiries from any page
The contact form opens in a pop-up on every page, and every product page ends with a quote request. So a visitor never has to look for a way to get in touch.
Editable by the client
Products and policies are normal WordPress content built with WPBakery. So the TNK team can add product lines or update certificates without a developer.

Other things we built and run
The Status Network
The Status Network is a curated private club for founders, investors and culture builders across Miami and Istanbul. We designed and built its public site and a members-only Clubroom with seven themed spaces on WordPress. The brand stays quiet and selective, and a small team can run it easily.
Elif Akan Çelik
A Turkish and English website for Elif Akan Çelik, a clinical psychologist and ISST-certified schema therapist working in London. The WordPress site presents five therapy services, publications and client reviews, with an online appointment button and a WhatsApp contact on every page.
BM Mobil
We took over a corporate WordPress site after a security incident. We regained control safely, checked it for backdoors (hidden ways in), closed the common entry points and gave the business a ranked upgrade plan. We also designed its vehicle tracking app.
