Our Story

In 2007, MadeByCat embarked on an extraordinary journey

What started as a vision to bridge communication, art and technology has grown into an independent digital experience studio for organisations with complex platforms and high standards. For nearly two decades, we have worked as a long-term partner across strategy, enterprise UX/UI, corporate web design, engineering and continuous evolution.

From enterprise banking portals to cultural institution ecosystems, from retail experiences to industrial platforms — creative ambition and technical accountability stay with the same team from the first decision through the years after launch.

Why MadeByCat

Why organisations shortlist us

MadeByCat is an award-winning independent digital experience studio from İstanbul, and a trusted long-term partner for enterprise digital platforms. Three reasons come up in almost every selection process.

One accountable team

Strategy, UX/UI, web engineering, CMS and content operations and long-term evolution sit with the same team, so there is no handover gap between the studio that designed the platform and whoever has to run it.

Creative ambition with delivery discipline

Creative direction is tested against enterprise feasibility while the decision can still change — accessibility, performance, governance and editor experience are part of the design conversation, not a launch-week surprise.

Independent and continuous

As an independent studio working on enterprise platforms since 2007, we plan for the years after launch: the people who set the patterns stay reachable, and platforms evolve rather than being rebuilt.

Our name encodes our philosophy. CAT — Communication, Art, Technology — represents the three pillars of every great digital experience. We believe that meaningful communication, elevated by artistic vision and empowered by cutting-edge technology, creates platforms that don't just function — they inspire.

Communication × Art × Technology is the lens at the heart of The Madebycat Loop, our enterprise digital experience methodology.

Proof

What the record shows

Enterprise trust

Banking and finance, holdings and groups, aviation and ports, healthcare, culture, industry and retail — the published cases cover corporate product journeys at Garanti BBVA Leasing, an accessible global platform for Çelebi Aviation, multi-site governance for Global Ports Holding and investor-facing content operations for TSKB.

Creative and UX/UI reputation

The award record connects to work you can read: İKSV for cultural programme and archive experience, Memorial Healthcare Group for service discovery and international patient journeys, and BPN for a UX audit that turned into continuous improvement. Each award placement links to its official source rather than a self-published league table.

Long-term partnership

Several relationships continue well past launch through managed website services — AgeSA and Hayat are published examples of maintenance, content operations and continuous improvement staying with the team that built the platform. We describe what the engagement covers; we do not sell hosting or make round-the-clock promises.
