Custom E-Commerce Websites for Brands in Ankara

We turned Muse Maison's ready design into a brand-specific e-commerce website instead of squeezing it into a standard store layout. An interactive hand-drawn table, a brand showcase and a personalized products section form the core of the site. Visitors reach the right category in one click from the table on the home page.

How does a brand in Ankara work with a team in Istanbul?

Muse Maison is in Ankara, our team is in Istanbul. For an e-commerce website, what matters is not the distance between two cities but having the design, decisions and progress in a place everyone can see. That is why we start by putting scope and priorities in writing. Meetings are held in Turkish, online or in person.

Work is tracked on a Jira or Linear board, and a working version is shared at the end of every two-week sprint. On ikas projects, this means you can browse the site with real products in the development store. Since all of Türkiye is in one time zone, scheduling meetings is never an issue.

What problem did Muse Maison want to solve?

Muse Maison offers a collection that spans tableware, home textiles, candles and fragrances, all the way to personalized gifts. It brings brands like Christofle, Nachtmann, Philippe Deshoulières, Rivadossi Sandro, Sabre and Spode under one roof.

The brand identity is built on hand-drawn illustrations, pastel tones and elegant typography. ikas had been chosen as the platform and the home page design was ready. But a standard store look could not carry that atmosphere. The design had to become a pixel-perfect, fast and easy-to-manage site on ikas.

What is on the site?

Interactive table

The home page hero is a hand-drawn table. Glasses, cutlery, plates, serving accessories, candles and napkins each link to their own category, and the tablecloth links to tablecloths. Visitors jump to a category right where they see the product, without opening a menu.

Brand showcase

The brands sold are listed in a slider on the home page and on a separate brands page. Each brand card leads to that brand's products.

Personalization and categories

Personalized products, from napkins to towels, have their own section and category. Tableware, Home Textiles and Candles & Fragrance category cards and a New Arrivals list are on the home page too. Shipping, returns, secure payment and gift wrapping info, newsletter signup and KVKK, distance sales and cookie policy pages complete the site.

What did we do for Muse Maison?

We coded the site from scratch on ikas. To keep the live store unaffected, development was done in a separate development store. When the site was ready, we moved it to the live store, connected the musemaison.com.tr domain, and the site went live on November 13, 2026. We measured and improved page speed with Core Web Vitals metrics.

Why ikas?

ikas comes with products, stock, orders, payments and shipping built in. That lets development time go into the brand-specific interface. At Muse Maison, the team manages products and orders in the ikas panel, while the site looks exactly like the brand's own design.

What does this project mean for other brands in Ankara?

Brands with a strong visual identity may not need an e-commerce platform written from scratch. Building a brand-specific interface on top of a platform like ikas gets you live quickly while keeping your identity intact. If you have a similar project, the first meeting is free, can be online or in person, and we reply within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it hard to work remotely from Ankara with a team in Istanbul?

With no time difference and communication in Turkish, remote work does not slow down day-to-day work. Scope and priorities are put in writing, work is tracked on a Jira or Linear board, and a working version is shared at the end of every two-week sprint. We worked remotely with our Ankara client on Muse Maison too.

Can ikas have a brand-specific design instead of a ready-made theme?

Yes. Muse Maison's site is not a ready-made theme; it was coded from scratch on ikas based on the brand's design. Product, stock and order management stay in the ikas panel, while the interface visitors see is fully brand-specific.

Is the live store affected during development?

No. On Muse Maison, development was done in a separate development store; when the site was ready, we moved it to the live store and connected the domain. If you already have a store, sales can continue during this process.

Can you redesign my existing ikas store?

Yes. Your products, orders and customer data stay in ikas, so only the store interface is renewed. We define the scope together in a discovery call and confirm timeline and cost in a written proposal.
