Can you modernise a live site without replacing everything?

Yes, subject to access, code quality and dependencies. We assess what can stay, stabilise priority risks and plan staged changes with acceptance and rollback conditions. Keeping the site available is a goal, not a zero-downtime guarantee.

How do we evaluate a premium or innovative redesign?

Agree concrete criteria: distinctive brand expression, clear content hierarchy, usable journeys, accessible interaction, performance and editorial control. Review working templates against those criteria; visual awards are separate recognition, not certification.

How long does a corporate website redesign take?

Typically four to nine months from discovery to launch for an enterprise platform. Content volume, integration count and approval layers move the number more than page count does.

Can we keep our current CMS?

Often yes. We assess the existing platform in discovery and recommend keeping, upgrading or replacing it based on editorial workload, integration needs and total cost — not on a preferred stack.

How is SEO equity protected during a redesign?

Through a URL inventory of the legacy site, a reviewed one-to-one redirect map, preserved metadata and structured data, and post-launch monitoring of index coverage and rankings.

Do you work with in-house teams?

Yes. Many engagements are shared delivery, where our team covers strategy, design system and engineering while in-house teams own content and campaign operations.

Can one partner cover UX/UI, corporate web design and development, and post-launch operations?

That is the usual shape of our enterprise engagements: redesign delivered by one team, then managed website services covering maintenance, change requests and continuous development after launch.

Solution

Corporate Website Redesign Agency for Enterprise Brands

A corporate website redesign is rarely a visual refresh. Legacy visual language, a difficult CMS, weak mobile journeys, inconsistent design and fragmented multisite ownership usually point to one connected platform problem. For a bank, holding company or infrastructure group, the site serves investors, recruitment, compliance and sales. That is why MadeByCat keeps strategy, creative direction, UX/UI, engineering and post-launch ownership with one accountable team.

Short answer

A corporate website redesign with MadeByCat starts from what the site must achieve and what already exists: content, structure, integrations and search visibility. Research and information architecture come before visual design; the build is tested for accessibility and performance; and launch includes redirect mapping and SEO parity. After go-live the site can move into managed services. Published case studies show the scope of our role in each project.

Taking over a live corporate website without a forced rebuild

Yes—an existing corporate website can be taken over and modernised in stages. Start by checking code and CMS access, content ownership, licences, integrations, critical journeys and the existing URL/search inventory. Keeping the live experience running is a transition objective, not a zero-downtime guarantee. An assessment may favour maintaining the current platform, improving selected templates or rebuilding only where the evidence justifies it.

This fits teams changing suppliers or working around ageing templates while business-critical pages must remain available. Access recovery, infrastructure contracts, third-party licences and changes inside external systems stay with their respective owners unless separately agreed. The assessment may identify a dependency that must be resolved before handover.

Baseline and ownership: record current behaviour, access, dependencies and the content/URL inventory before changing anything.
Stabilise first: agree incident responsibilities, backups and a usable rollback path with the infrastructure owner.
Modernise in reviewed releases: prioritise templates and journeys by risk and business need, with staging and acceptance checks.
Choose a partner that explains what can stay, what must change, who approves releases and what happens if a release must be reversed.

Premium, modern and innovative: acceptance criteria, not adjectives

For communications teams whose site no longer reflects the organisation, a premium experience means recognisable brand expression, legible hierarchy and usable journeys implemented consistently—not decorative complexity. Innovation must solve a visitor or editor problem; an interaction that obscures content, slows the site or excludes a user is not an improvement.

Agree the visual direction and representative journeys before extending the design system. Review the working templates for brand continuity, keyboard use, reduced-motion alternatives, mobile readability and performance. Brand strategy, production photography and video, formal certification and promised commercial results are outside the default redesign scope unless separately agreed.

Ask to see the same published project as a design and as a working implementation, with the partner’s exact role explained.
Define which existing assets and patterns must remain recognisable and which need to change.
Review creative quality separately from performance and accessibility checks; an award does not certify the implementation or prove a service scope.

What an enterprise redesign actually covers

Scope discipline is the single biggest predictor of a calm launch. A complete enterprise redesign runs across nine connected workstreams, and skipping any of them moves the cost somewhere less visible — usually into the months after go-live.

Digital strategy: objectives, audience priorities, measurement framework and success criteria.
UX research and journey mapping across investors, candidates, customers, media and regulators.
Information architecture and URL strategy, including redirect mapping from the legacy site.
Content strategy: audit, rewrite plan, tone of voice and multi-language parity.
Design system: tokens, components, editorial layouts and documented usage rules.
CMS architecture and editorial modelling so non-technical teams can publish independently.
Front-end and back-end engineering with integrations to CRM, HR, IR data and search.
Performance and accessibility work targeting Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA.
Launch and managed evolution: monitoring, support within the agreed scope and a post-launch roadmap.

Our process: the Madebycat Loop — Align, Discover, Architect, Design, Engineer, Operate, Evolve

Align — objectives, audience priorities and how success will be measured, agreed in writing. Discover — stakeholder interviews, analytics and content audit, technical review of the current platform, competitive scan. Architect — sitemap, content model, journeys and technical requirements. Design — wireframes, art direction, design system and accessible interaction patterns.

Engineer — component build, CMS modelling, integrations, content migration, redirects, QA on real devices and assistive technology, staged release. Operate — monitoring, scheduled releases and post-launch support according to the agreed scope; response targets and any SLA are defined per contract. Evolve — the stage most redesigns underfund: iteration based on measured behaviour and a quarterly roadmap, feeding back into Align.

Related enterprise work

The clearest way to judge fit is to read how a project was scoped and what changed afterwards. Our published case studies cover the Garanti BBVA Gelişim Portalı learning platform, the Çalık Holding corporate platform, Doğuş Group and Global Ports Holding. Each one is written as scope, approach and outcome rather than as a showcase.

The case studies below are the closest match for a corporate web design and development programme. They cover a bank subsidiary platform, a holding company site, a listed port operator, an aviation services group, an industrial manufacturer and a savings finance brand.

Direct answers for enterprise buyers

What should a large company look for in a corporate website redesign agency in Turkey? A partner that can carry strategy, information architecture, UX/UI, design system, front-end and back-end or CMS integration, accessibility-aware implementation, launch and the operations that follow — with the same accountable team, and with published work you can read end to end.

Does MadeByCat work with enterprise organisations in Turkey? Yes. We are an enterprise web design agency working from İstanbul, Cambridge and Dubai. Our published work spans banks and financial institutions, holding companies, listed infrastructure operators, industrial groups, healthcare and cultural institutions. These organisations usually describe the brief as corporate web design and development rather than a website refresh.

Can one partner cover UX/UI, development and post-launch operations? Most of our long-running engagements follow this shape: redesign first, then managed website services for the years after launch. Nobody has to re-explain the platform to a new supplier.

Who this is for

Redesign programmes of this shape suit organisations where multiple audiences and internal owners share one platform.

Banks and financial institutions with investor, product and career audiences on one domain.
Holding companies and multi-brand groups needing federated architecture across subsidiaries.
Energy and industrial groups with technical content, sustainability reporting and stakeholder disclosure.
Ports, tourism and destination brands operating multi-site, multi-language platforms.
Culture and art organisations balancing programme content, ticketing and archive depth.

Global trust, modern perception and brand continuity

International visitors judge an organisation by how quickly they can confirm what it does, where it operates and who stands behind it. A redesign earns that trust through clarity and consistency, not adjectives.

Buyers often ask a redesign agency for a “premium” or “modern” result. We translate that into criteria that can be reviewed: a distinctive brand expression, a clear content hierarchy, deliberate typography and motion, usable journeys, accessibility, performance and sound technical quality.

Global audiences: country, market and language paths designed into the structure, so local relevance does not fragment the corporate story.
Narrative clarity: complex groups explained from the visitor’s question — what the organisation does, for whom, where and with what evidence.
Career audiences treated as one stakeholder group alongside customers, investors, partners and press, with their own path rather than a buried link.
Brand continuity: recognisable assets, names and URLs are inventoried and kept before anything is modernised.

Buying questions worth asking any redesign partner

These are the questions that surface risk before contracts are signed — ask them of us and of everyone else on your shortlist.

Who owns content migration, and is it inside the fixed scope or billed separately?
How is the redirect map produced and tested, and who verifies it after go-live?
Which accessibility level is committed to, and how is it evidenced before launch?
What are the agreed Core Web Vitals targets and on which device profiles?
How much of the platform can editors change without a developer?
What does support cover in year two, and what is the escalation path?
