Most conversations begin with these questions. The answers live here, though a real conversation is still better.
No. Web design is one delivery capability, not the whole scope. Classy Design Studio's actual capabilities span web design, technical SEO and search discoverability, AI-search/GEO/AEO readiness, multilingual (TR/EN/AR) architecture, and conversion infrastructure. The commercial outcome we work toward — helping the right customer find, understand and choose a business — is broader than any single one of these; web design is the most visible part of it, not the only part.
Send a short note. We'll propose a discovery call within 48 hours. On the first call we understand your business, goal and timeline. If we think we're a fit, we send a proposal. If you already have a site and it is not clear what it needs, the right start is the Check-up: a fixed-price, paid measurement and decision; the proposal comes out of it.
A single landing page runs 3–4 weeks. A comprehensive corporate site runs 6–10. An e-commerce experience runs 10–14. Timing depends on the queue.
Every project's scope is different. Whether we build a brand language from scratch or work on top of something that already exists is something we decide together, only after we talk. So we don't quote a figure upfront. We start with a short discovery call to clarify the need, then give you a realistic, transparent proposal.
Yes. Classy Design Studio works remotely with businesses in Türkiye and internationally, including across the Gulf, Europe and the US, with multilingual delivery where needed; time-zone differences aren't an obstacle. We hold one sync call a week and run the rest in writing, transparently.
Yes, within specific, real work: entity clarity, crawlable and accessible content, structured data, citation-ready writing, and consistent information across the site and third-party sources. What we don't do is promise a result: no provider can guarantee that ChatGPT or another AI system will cite or recommend a specific business, and we won't describe this as 'ranking in ChatGPT' — that's not how these systems work.
Read our AI discovery approach →No, though they share technical foundations. SEO is about search visibility — indexing, ranking, matching search intent. AI discovery is about something adjacent but different: whether a system can retrieve, understand and cite an entity, and whether that entity gets considered as relevant when someone describes a need in conversation. A site with strong SEO can still be poorly understood by an AI system, and the reverse is also possible. We treat them as related, not interchangeable.
No. Classy Design Studio doesn't position itself as a paid-media agency, a performance-marketing agency, or a generic lead-generation service — we don't manage ad accounts or run campaigns. When we talk about customer acquisition, we mean something specific: helping the right customer find, understand and choose a business through web design, search and AI discoverability, multilingual architecture, and conversion infrastructure — not through paid traffic.
Sometimes. Google Search often begins with a query; a ChatGPT conversation can begin earlier, with the user explaining their problem, constraints and preferences before ever asking for a recommendation. That means some AI-referred visitors may arrive after part of the discovery and comparison process has already happened in the conversation. This doesn't mean every ChatGPT referral is automatically more qualified than a Google one.
See the evidence behind this →Most of our projects start with identity. Logo, palette, type, tone, then web. We also build only the web on top of an existing identity.
Small refinements are free in the first three months. After that, optional monthly site maintenance is available: technical care, performance, content updates, measurement monitoring and small new features. It is upkeep for a site we built, not an SEO consulting package.
We have a standard mutual NDA; we also review and sign yours. Some clients keep our work fully private; we're flexible on this.
Businesses that already have a real product or service, but whose website, search visibility, multilingual reach, or AI discoverability isn't doing its job — an outdated or underperforming website, a need to be found by English- or Arabic-speaking customers as well as Turkish ones, a search-visibility or AI-discovery gap, an unclear path from visitor to enquiry, or a genuine need for an internationally credible website. If the actual problem sits in one of those areas, we're usually a good fit to discuss.
Businesses primarily looking for someone to manage paid advertising (Google Ads, Meta Ads), a high-volume commodity website provider working from templates, anyone expecting a guaranteed Google ranking or AI recommendation, or a generic outsourced cold-lead-generation service. None of those are what we do, and we'd rather say so upfront than take on work outside our actual capabilities.
Yours. The domain, DNS, hosting, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Business Profile and any ads or tag accounts are created in your name and in your accounts; Classy Design works as a delegated user. When the engagement ends you revoke our access and there is nothing to hand over. What stays with us is only our method, our audit tooling and our research data; the site's code and content are yours.
A list written item by item into every proposal. Standard on every site: technical SEO (indexability, canonical, hreflang, robots, sitemap, performance basics), a title and meta description for every page, structured data, Search Console and Analytics set up in your account, and every page named. Scoped per project: keyword research, content writing, Google Business Profile, the AI-visibility layer, internal-linking architecture, monthly monitoring and reporting; which of these are included is fixed in the proposal, and an item that is not included is written as “not included”. What we do not do: buy backlinks, manage paid media, or guarantee rankings.
See SEO work on an existing site →With measurement. The Check-up (fixed price, 10 working days) measures where your customers look for you, where you are found today and where your competitors are, using search demand, SEO/GEO/AEO visibility and public social data. The outcome can be a website, improving the existing site, a social media panel, Google Business Profile only, or none of these right now. The report does not require you to hire us and the fee is not credited against a project. Every figure carries its source, tool and date; you can have the report verified by any agency or AI assistant.
In most cases, yes. On top of the existing site we build the layers of being found, understood, trusted and measured: technical SEO, structured data, internal-linking architecture, AI-search visibility and source-attributed lead measurement. Because we do not control the code, the proposal is written after the measurement and after the platform is known; every item lands in one of two boxes: “we do it” or “not possible on this platform”; we do the implementation in every case and do not write specifications for third parties. A redesign comes up only if the measurement calls for it, as a separate proposal.
