What Does a Turnkey Website Need from the Business Owner? A 6-Item Approval List
A turnkey website needs very little from the business owner. You are not asked for page copy, photos, a logo or any technical setup. You are asked for two things: to describe your business in a short conversation, and to approve the options that are prepared for you at six fixed points.
Those six approval points are the domain name, the page map, the keyword groups, the design direction, the launch articles and the delivery list. Each one arrives with options and a reason behind them. Your job is to choose, not to produce.
What does a turnkey website actually need from the business owner?
A real turnkey website needs your knowledge of the business and your approval, nothing more. The agency writes the text, handles the visuals and does the technical setup. You bring what no outsider can know: who your customers are, what they ask and why they pick you.
Which six questions should you answer when describing your business?
The opening conversation follows six questions: what you do, who you do it for, which area you serve, what customers ask most often, what sets you apart from competitors and which phone or WhatsApp line customers should use. Plain answers work best. A sentence you would say to a customer at the counter is exactly what the writing team needs.
What you do, for whom and where
These three answers shape the page map and the keyword groups. A clinic serving one district and a nationwide supplier need different pages.
The question customers ask most
This answer often becomes a page, a question-and-answer block and several articles. AI search tools like to quote such sentences, so natural wording helps.
Which turnkey website approvals come first in the project?
BU BÖLÜMÜN ÖZETİ
- Approval 1: the domain name
- Approval 2: the page map
- Approval 3: the keyword groups
The first three approvals set the foundation: the domain name, the page map and the keyword groups. They arrive together as one sector plan, presented before any building starts. Once you approve it, construction begins and a written build schedule follows. Extra care here saves changes later.
Approval 1: the domain name
You receive domain options with reasons. Check that the name is easy to say on the phone and will be registered in your own name. The domain and the first year of hosting are included.
Approval 2: the page map
The page map shows the 6 top pages and 12 subpages. A page map is a simple chart of every page and where it sits. Check that each service you sell has a home and that nothing you no longer offer appears.
Approval 3: the keyword groups
Six keyword groups describe the searches the site will answer. Read them aloud and ask whether a real customer would type those words.
Which approvals come later, and what should you check in each?
BU BÖLÜMÜN ÖZETİ
- Approval 4: the design direction
- Approval 5: the launch articles
- Approval 6: the delivery list
The last three approvals are the design direction, the launch articles and the delivery list. By this stage the foundation is fixed, so each check is quick. Our desk recommends one simple rule: judge each option against the six answers you gave at the start, not against personal taste alone.
Approval 4: the design direction
Design options arrive with a short rationale. Ask whether the look suits your customers, not whether it matches a site you admire. A dentist and a moving company should not come out of the same mold.
Approval 5: the launch articles
Part of the 108 articles goes live at launch, and the rest follows a publishing calendar. Check that the opening set covers the question customers ask most and your main service area.
Approval 6: the delivery list
The delivery list names what you receive at handover: access details, the measurement dashboard and the page map. Google Analytics 4 and Search Console should both be on it, installed and ready.
What happens if you already have a logo or photos for your turnkey website?
If you have a logo or good photos, they are used. If you do not, Adapte solves it as part of the build, so missing material never holds the project. A full corporate identity or logo design project is not part of the package, though. It is a separate development with its own delivery list and price.
Ready to see your own six approval points laid out with options? The package is a single fixed price of 36,000 TRY + VAT, and this period is limited to 12 businesses. See what the real turnkey website package includes.
How does the approval list fit into the turnkey website application?
The application has three steps, and the approval list sits inside them: describe your business, receive your plan, and let the build begin. The plan carries the page map, keyword groups and a domain suggestion. For a wider view of how these stages connect, see the six steps from first call to launch.
What should be on your final approval checklist?
Before you sign the handover, run through one short checklist. It covers the six approvals plus the ownership and measurement items that protect you after launch. Our desk also suggests reading whose name the domain and hosting should be registered in before the final sign-off.
| Approval | What to check |
|---|---|
| Domain name | Easy to say aloud, registered in your name |
| Page map | Every service you sell has a page |
| Keyword groups | Words a real customer would type |
| Design direction | Suits your customers, not only your taste |
| Launch articles | Cover your most asked question and area |
| Delivery list | Access, measurement dashboard, page map |

Sık Sorulan Sorular
Waiting for copy from a busy owner is a common reason sites stall. Here, Adapte writes the pages and the 108 articles, using your answers as raw material.
Hosting, speed, structured data and measurement are part of the build. Structured data is code that tells search engines and AI tools what a page is about.
Send your logo file and real photos of your team, premises or work. Real images usually earn more trust than stock pictures.
An existing site can be renewed. The parts that work are kept, and the site is rebuilt on the 6+12+108 structure. Point out the pages customers mention, since those are worth protecting.
They happen at the plan stage. Once the plan and the domain are approved, you receive the build schedule in writing.
They happen during construction and handover. When the delivery list is signed off, the keys are yours and the project is closed.
Confirm the domain is in your name and note the hosting renewal date. The second-year hosting renewal is your responsibility, and you are told about it in advance.
Confirm that you can log in to Google Analytics 4 and Search Console yourself. They show who visits and how Google sees the site.
No. Adapte writes the pages and the 108 articles. The owner only answers six questions about the business and approves the options presented.
Before handover, a change is easiest at the approval where it belongs, especially the page map. After handover, a new request is treated as a new development with its own delivery list and price.
No. An existing logo is used, and missing visuals are solved during the build, but a corporate identity and logo design project is a separate development.
