Logistics and Transport Company Website Script (with Quote Request Form)

Language note

The interface of the website and the admin panel comes in Turkish and English. You choose the site language and the panel language separately under “Site ayarları” (Site Settings), and you can also switch the panel language with the globe icon at the top right of the panel.

More languages can be added: copy the en.php file in the dil folder of the package and translate it (the steps are in dil/OKUBENI.txt). The language you add appears automatically in the language lists of the site settings, and updates do not touch your language files. Texts that are not translated appear in English; if you prefer, they can be shown in Turkish.

The content you publish (services, pages, blog posts and so on) is not translated; it stays in the language you write it in. Form warnings and date formats follow the selected site language; the notification e-mails of the quote request and contact forms are written in the panel language.

Where this page names a section of the panel or of the site, the name is given as it appears in the Turkish interface, in quotation marks, followed by its translation in parentheses; in the English interface the same sections appear under their English names.

Who it is for

Made for logistics and freight companies that offer road, air and sea transport or warehousing, and for agencies that build sites for these companies. On your own domain you describe your services, show your team, references and customer reviews, and inform visitors with blog posts and PDF documents. A visitor writes the departure and arrival place, the cargo type and the estimated shipment date in the quote request form on the site; the request is listed in your panel, and you get in touch with the visitor. The form only collects requests: it is not a binding quote and carries no price or delivery time commitment, and the site does not track shipments.

You do not need to know how to code. The browser wizard handles the installation, and you enter your content in the admin panel.

Website features

Home page

• Welcome slider: up to 6 slides. Each slide has a small top line, a heading, a sub-heading, an optional button and an image; every slide also carries a “Teklif Al” (Get a Quote) button. For the button link you enter an address inside the site (for example hizmetler, teklif) or a full address. With more than one slide the images change automatically with a soft fade; on devices set to reduce motion, the change is a plain slide and not automatic. A slide without an image is not shown; with no slide at all, the company name and a “Teklif Al” (Get a Quote) button appear.
• Three highlight boxes: three boxes made of a heading and a short text, placed below the slider. The icons are ready-made; a box whose heading you leave empty does not appear.
• About section: an image, a heading, the beginning of your “Hakkımızda” (About Us) text, a checklist of the first six service names and a button that leads to the “Hakkımızda” (About Us) page.
• Services: the first six services appear as cards with an icon, an image, the name, a short description and a “Ayrıntılı Bilgi” (More details) link; the “Tüm Hizmetler” (All Services) button leads to the services page.
• Counters: four counters. You enter the value and the text yourself; when the page comes into view, the numbers appear by counting up. A counter whose value you leave empty does not appear.
• Quote request section: in a dark section, a short description is on the left and the quote request form on the right; if you upload an image on the “Site görselleri” (Site Images) page, it appears below the description.
• Reference logos, customer reviews and latest posts: the reference logos you upload appear in a strip, the latest 12 reviews in a slider and the latest three blog posts as cards. A section with no entries is not drawn on the home page at all.
• Call banner: you enter a heading and a short text; the banner appears at the end of the home page and of the “Hizmetler” (Services) and “Hakkımızda” (About Us) pages with a “Teklif Al” (Get a Quote) button. If you leave the heading empty, the banner does not appear.

Quote request and contact

• Quote request form: found on the home page and on the “Teklif Talebi” (Quote Request) page. Full name, e-mail, phone, departure and arrival (written as city / district) are required. Company, service (from the services you have in the panel), estimated shipment date (today or a later date, at most 12 months ahead) and a note about the cargo are optional. The cargo type is chosen from the list you define in the panel; if the list is empty, the form does not ask for a cargo type. The form has a required KVKK consent checkbox. KVKK is the Turkish personal data protection law. The “Teklif İste” (Request a Quote) button on every service page opens the form with that service selected. Below the form, the visitor is told that the request is not a binding quote and carries no price or delivery time commitment.
• “Yük türleri” (Cargo types): you define the option list of the quote form in the panel (for example palletized goods, parcels, machinery and equipment). Only names saved in this list are accepted in the form.
• Quote requests in the panel: incoming requests are listed in the “Teklif ve mesajlar” (Quotes and messages) section of the panel, which only the administrator sees. If you set up “E-posta ayarları” (E-mail Settings) and switch notifications on, every request also reaches you by e-mail, and when you reply to the e-mail, the reply goes to the visitor’s address.
• Contact form: full name, e-mail, phone, message title and message text fields (all required) and a KVKK consent checkbox. Incoming messages are listed in the same section.
• Contact page: information boxes with address, e-mail, phone and working hours, a box that leads to the quote request form, and a map (Google Maps or OpenStreetMap embed code). Details and map you leave empty do not appear on the site.
• KVKK consent checkbox: required on the quote request and contact forms. The privacy notice link points to the page you choose in the panel; the same link also appears in the footer of the site. The text that comes with the sample content is only a sample; because customer details are personal data, you need to prepare your own privacy notice, with a legal adviser if necessary.

Services and team

• Services: for each service you enter a name, an icon, a short description, a detailed description, an image and an order. You choose the icon in the panel from a ready-made list of 26 icons such as truck, plane, ship, warehouse and pallet. Services are listed as cards on the services page and also appear as a drop-down list in the menu. Every service has its own page, a side list of the other services and a quote request box. Services have no price or duration field.
• Team: you enter full name, title, field of expertise (optional), photo, status and order. The team is shown as cards on the “Hakkımızda” (About Us) page; there is no separate team page. A member without a photo gets a person icon. A member whose status is “Taslak” (Draft) does not appear.
• Reference logos: you enter a company name, an optional web address and a logo. Entries with an uploaded logo appear on the home page and on the “Hakkımızda” (About Us) page. Upload only logos you have permission to use.
• Customer reviews: you enter full name, the service received (optional), the review and an optional photo. Reviews appear in a slider on the home page; a review without a photo shows the first letter of the name. Publish reviews only with the consent of the people who wrote them.

Corporate pages, blog and gallery

• “Hakkımızda” (About Us): page heading, text, mission, vision, signature line and an image. A mission or vision part you leave empty does not appear. The page also carries the counters, the team cards, the reference logos and the call banner.
• Frequently asked questions: you enter questions and answers in the panel; the answer opens when the visitor clicks a question. Once at least one question exists, its link appears in the menu under “Kurumsal” (Corporate).
• Documents (PDF): you upload PDF files such as a service introduction or an information sheet from the panel (at most 10 MB per file). For each document you enter a link text and an order. They are listed on the “Belgeler” (Documents) page with a “PDF indir” (Download PDF) button; when the visitor clicks, the file downloads as a PDF.
• Extra pages: you add as many pages as you like from the panel (for example a privacy policy or the KVKK privacy notice). For each page you choose whether it is shown in the top menu (under “Kurumsal” (Corporate)) and in the footer of the site.
• Blog: articles with a title, status (“Yayında” (Published) or “Taslak” (Draft)), short description, image and rich text. Articles are paginated with 9 per page; the article page has a side list of the latest articles. A “Taslak” (Draft) article does not appear on the site.
• Gallery: you enter an image title, an image and an order. Clicking an image enlarges it; the previous and next buttons, the arrow keys, the swipe gesture on a phone, the close button and the Esc key all work.

Look, mobile and search engines

• Color: you pick two colors in the panel. The main color is applied to buttons, accents and active items; the dark color is applied to the top information bar and to dark areas such as the footer. The page background is always white. Text colors are chosen automatically, dark or light, according to the main color and the dark color.
• Logo, site icon and images: you upload your logo and your site icon (favicon); if there is no logo, the company name appears as text. The logo is shown on a white background in the header and inside a white box in the footer, so a dark or colored logo that reads well on a light background is suitable. You can upload images for the title band at the top of the inner pages and for the quote section on the home page; if you do not upload a title band image, a plain colored band appears.
• Information bar, menu and footer: the dark information bar shows the phone number, e-mail, working hours and social media icons (it is hidden on phone screens); the menu has a “Teklif Al” (Get a Quote) button and, if you entered it, a WhatsApp icon. The footer shows your short introduction text, your contact details (address, phone, e-mail, working hours), links, the first six services and the copyright line. Details you do not enter are not drawn.
• Social media: your Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube links appear as icons; an icon you do not fill in is not drawn. If you enter your WhatsApp number, a WhatsApp icon appears in the menu.
• Switch sections on/off: from a single page you switch the Services, Team, Blog, Gallery, Documents, Frequently asked questions, Customer reviews and Reference logos sections on or off. A section you switch off disappears from the menu and the home page, and its page address does not open either. The menu link of a section with no entries does not appear either.
• Mobile friendly: on small screens the menu turns into a mobile menu that opens on tap; the page layout adapts to the screen width.
• Page-specific title and description: every page carries its own title (“Page | Company”), description and social sharing (Open Graph) tags. On service and blog post pages the sharing image is taken from the item’s own image. You enter the site title, description and keywords under “Site ayarları” (Site Settings).
• Footer credit: you can change or remove the “TiklaWeb tarafından geliştirildi” (Developed by TiklaWeb) line at the bottom of the site.
• 404 page: for an address that does not exist, a switched-off section and an article that is not published, an error page with a button back to the home page is shown.

Admin panel

• “Özet” (Summary): for the administrator, the numbers of unread messages, quote requests, services and published blog posts, plus the latest five quote requests and the latest five messages. The side menu shows the number of unread records as a badge.
• “Teklif ve mesajlar” (Quotes and messages): the administrator sees quote requests and contact messages in one list and tells them apart by type. A request shows name, e-mail, phone, company, departure and arrival, cargo type, requested service, estimated shipment date, the time of the KVKK consent and the note; a message shows subject and text. Unread records are marked, and you can delete records. An editor account sees only the contact messages.
• Services, cargo types and blog: you add, edit and delete entries. The lists have search and sorting.
• Pages, gallery and documents: you manage the extra pages, the gallery images and the PDF documents.
• Site content: “Ana sayfa kaydırıcısı” (Home Page Slider), “Ana sayfa kutuları, çağrı bandı ve sayaçlar” (Home page boxes, call-to-action band and counters), “Hakkımızda” (About Us), “Yük türleri” (Cargo types), “Ekip üyeleri” (Team Members), “Referanslar” (References), “Yorumlar” (Reviews), “Sık sorulan sorular” (Frequently Asked Questions), “Site görselleri” (Site Images), “Sosyal medya bağlantıları” (Social Media Links) and “Bölümleri aç/kapat” (Switch Sections On/Off). The Summernote editor is used in rich text fields.
• E-mail settings: once you enter your SMTP details and switch notifications on, the quote request and contact form e-mails work. You test the settings with the “Deneme e-postası gönder” (Send test e-mail) button.
• “Site ayarları” (Site Settings): site title, company name, description and keywords, phone, WhatsApp number, e-mail, address, working hours, the short introduction text shown in the footer, copyright line, main color, dark color, KVKK privacy page, map, logo, site icon, site language and panel language.
• Users and permissions: you add administrator and editor accounts. The editor manages the content sections and the contact messages; quote requests, “Site ayarları” (Site Settings), “E-posta ayarları” (E-mail Settings) and “Kullanıcılar” (Users) are open only to the administrator. Permissions are checked on the server. Every user changes their own name and password on the “Profil ve şifre” (Profile and Password) page.
• Forgot password: the link on the panel login page resets the password by e-mail (if “E-posta ayarları” (E-mail Settings) is set up). The reset link is valid for 1 hour and can be used once.
• Custom code: under “Site ayarları” (Site Settings) you add your own code (for example a statistics script) to the top and bottom of the site. These fields are open only to the administrator.

Setup and updates

• Five-step setup wizard: requirements, license, database, site and administrator details, finish. The wizard checks your server itself.
• Setup language: in the wizard, choose Turkish or English at the top right. With an English installation, the starting and sample content is in English too.
• Sample content or empty setup: start filled in like the demo and edit from there, or enter your content from scratch. The quote request and message list starts empty in both cases. With the empty setup the cargo types list is empty too, and the form does not ask for a cargo type until you add some.
• Update from the panel: download the zip package of the new version from your tiklaweb.net customer area and upload it on the “Güncelleme ve lisans” (Updates and License) page of the admin panel. Files and database are backed up first. If an error occurs, the site returns to its previous state. Your uploaded images and PDF documents, settings and content are kept.
• Verified packages: the signature of the update package is checked; only packages downloaded from tiklaweb.net are installed.

A detailed setup guide comes in the package you download as the KURULUM.html file. The guide contains the rules that come ready for Apache and LiteSpeed, and the rules you need to add for Nginx and IIS.

License

Each license is for the single domain name you specify when ordering. A domain name change is a paid service and is handled through a support request. The license cannot be transferred free of charge. The site does not open on an unlicensed domain and the visitor is redirected to a license warning page. A separate license is required to use it on another domain.

Technical details

• PHP 8.2 or higher, MySQL or MariaDB
• Framework: PHP (PDO), its own router and Twig 3 templates. Page addresses are readable (for example /hizmetler/3-denizyolu-tasimaciligi); this needs URL rewriting on the server. On Apache and LiteSpeed the .htaccess file that comes in the package does this; for Nginx and IIS the rules are in the KURULUM.html file
• Site: Swiper and Font Awesome Free 6; the Poppins font comes with the package and is not loaded from an external server. Panel: DataTables and the Summernote content editor
• E-mail is sent with PHPMailer 6.9; the SMTP password is stored encrypted. A form entry is saved to the database first; if the server supports it, the e-mail is sent after the visitor has received the response
• Interface texts are kept in the language files in the package (Turkish and English included, a new language can be added)
• Signed form token, a hidden trap field and a limit of 8 submissions per IP in 10 minutes on the quote request and contact forms; in a quote request the cargo type and the service are accepted only from the names saved in the panel, the departure and arrival fields and the date are verified on the server and a past day cannot be chosen
• CSRF verification on panel actions; a temporary block after 5 failed attempts in 15 minutes on panel login, and the session closes after 2 hours of inactivity
• Quote requests contain personal data, so in the panel only the administrator account sees, reads and deletes them; they are not shown to an editor account
• The type of images uploaded from the panel is verified from content (JPG, PNG, WebP; at most 8 MB) and, if the GD extension is on, they are converted to WebP; PHP does not run in the upload folder
• A PDF document is accepted only if it carries the PDF signature and an end-of-file marker (at most 10 MB). The documents folder cannot be accessed directly; the file is downloaded as an attachment through the site
• The panel’s rich text fields are filtered on the server when saved (HTMLPurifier); the admin panel sends a Content Security Policy (CSP) header; administrator passwords are stored hashed
• The map area accepts only Google Maps and OpenStreetMap embed addresses
• Database details and backups are kept in a folder outside the web root if your hosting allows it
• A security audit made of code review and live attack tests was carried out before sale

Demo

Explore the site and admin panel in the read-only demo. The demo is installed in Turkish; in the admin panel you can switch the panel language to English with the globe icon at the top right. The company name (“Örnek Lojistik” (Sample Logistics)), services, cargo types, team, reference logos, customer reviews, gallery images, PDF documents and the counter values on the home page are samples (the counter labels end with “(örnek)”, meaning sample). In the demo panel you see a few sample records in the “Teklif ve mesajlar” (Quotes and messages) list. WhatsApp, social media links and the map are left empty in the demo; once you fill them in the panel, they appear on the site.

• Site: https://035.tiklaweb.net
• Admin panel: https://035.tiklaweb.net/admin/
• Demo e-mail: demo@tiklaweb.net
• Demo password: demo1234

Changes cannot be saved in the demo; the quote request and contact forms do not save records or send e-mails. The demo is reset every night. Sensitive pages such as e-mail settings, users and password forms cannot be viewed in demo mode, and “Forgot password” is switched off in the demo. These login details are for the demo site only. In the installation you purchase, you set the administrator account yourself.
