ARTWOCAL
A showcase site and admin panel for ARTWOCAL, a creative media agency working in Istanbul and Denizli: a site full of motion that opens with the agency’s own showreel.
Design, development, launch · 2026
The brief
A media agency that shoots commercials and promotional films, documentaries, YouTube shows and live broadcasts wanted a showcase site full of motion that lets visitors watch its work like a film. The site would be in Turkish only and built with the agency’s own footage.
What I did
The site opens with the logo appearing on a black screen and flying to its place in the top left; then the agency’s own showreel plays full screen. In the intro section the headline opens letter by letter while advertising, documentary, YouTube show, live broadcast and social media rotate beside it. Every film in the work list has its own page. As you scroll, the logo flies to the centre over a view of Galata and grows. The about page covers the team and services.
Result
The site has been live at www.artwocal.com since October 2026. The domain, SSL certificate, Google Search Console and Bing registrations were set up; the agency updates its content itself from the admin panel.
Technical decisions
The site is a multi-page static build compiled with Vite; motion uses GSAP (ScrollTrigger, SplitText) and Lenis. Videos are served at different resolutions depending on the screen size, and those off screen are paused. The admin panel is written in PHP: the agency can change texts, photos and videos, add, delete and reorder work, and the last 20 changes can be undone. The site is protected by more than 500 automated tests.
