Enterprise UX/UI Design Agency for Corporate Digital Products

MadeByCat is an independent enterprise UX/UI design agency that carries research, information architecture and prototyping into a live, maintainable product. Enterprise UX/UI is governance work as much as craft: the interface has to serve several audiences, survive internal reorganisations, stay consistent across teams and remain usable for people relying on assistive technology — for years after the launch screenshot.

01

What our enterprise UX/UI practice covers

Corporate digital products need a design practice that produces decisions, not just screens. Each of the following is a deliverable a client team can own and maintain after we hand it over.

  • User and stakeholder research: interviews, analytics review, usability testing and prioritised findings.
  • Journey mapping across the full lifecycle, including service and offline touchpoints.
  • Information architecture, navigation models and content modelling for CMS-driven products.
  • Interaction and UI design for dense, multi-audience corporate interfaces.
  • Interactive prototyping for validation before engineering effort is committed.
  • Design systems: tokens, components, patterns, documentation and contribution rules.
  • Accessibility-first design worked to WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast, focus order, semantics, keyboard paths.
  • Motion design with purpose — state, hierarchy and continuity, with reduced-motion behaviour defined.
  • Component governance: versioning, deprecation policy and multi-brand theming.
  • Developer handoff and engineering delivery: specs, tokens in code, review sessions and shared acceptance criteria.

When you need a UX/UI agency, not only a visual designer

A visual designer is the right choice when the problem is a look. The problem changes shape once several audiences use the same interface, once navigation has to reflect an organisation that keeps reorganising itself, and once every screen has to be editable by a content team and implementable by an engineering backlog.

The signals are consistent across the enterprise teams we work with: an information architecture nobody can defend, patterns that differ between subsidiaries, accessibility raised late as a launch risk, and a design file that engineering quietly reinterprets. Those are structural problems. They are solved by research, architecture and a governed system — not by a new colour palette.

03

How research, architecture, design and delivery connect

We run these as one chain rather than as separate services, because each stage constrains the next. Research and analytics review define which journeys matter; information architecture and content modelling give those journeys a structure the CMS can hold; interaction and UI design resolve the dense screens; prototypes validate the risky flows before engineering effort is committed.

What survives that sequence becomes the design system — tokens, components, patterns and documentation — with accessibility decided inside the components rather than audited afterwards. Because design sits in the same accountable team as web engineering, the system ships as working code with shared acceptance criteria, and post-launch measurement feeds the next iteration instead of a rebuild.

Why enterprise teams choose MadeByCat

MadeByCat is an award-winning independent digital experience studio from İstanbul, also present in Cambridge and Dubai, working on enterprise platforms since 2007. Strategy, UX/UI and engineering sit in one accountable team, so creative ambition is tested against enterprise feasibility while there is still time to change the decision.

That continuity is the difference buyers can verify: the system designed is the system implemented, the people who defined the patterns review the code, and the same team stays available for the years of evolution after launch. Figma libraries, design tokens, documented patterns and code review carry design intent into the build. As a digital product design partner, we shape the engagement around who will build and who will maintain — a full product design programme, a design system build with governance handover, or embedded design capacity alongside an in-house team.

05

Design systems are the deliverable that keeps paying

For organisations running several digital properties, the design system is where UX/UI investment compounds. A documented token layer plus a governed component library shortens every subsequent project, keeps brand expression consistent across subsidiaries, and turns accessibility from a per-project audit into a property of the components themselves.

Systems only hold if governance is designed with them: who approves a new component, how a change is versioned, how teams request an exception and how deprecated patterns leave the codebase. We also work inside existing systems — auditing what exists, keeping what works and extending the missing patterns rather than replacing by default.

06

Sectors where UX/UI sensitivity is highest

Some environments punish weak interface decisions faster than others — because of audience diversity, information density or the cost of a misread screen.

  • Banking and finance: dense information, disclosure requirements and low tolerance for ambiguity.
  • Holdings and multi-brand groups: shared systems that must flex per subsidiary without fragmenting.
  • Healthcare: high-stakes tasks, mixed digital literacy and accessibility as a baseline expectation.
  • Culture and art: rich editorial content, programme discovery and archive navigation.
  • Tourism and destination: multi-language journeys, seasonal content and mobile-first behaviour.
08

How to shortlist a UX/UI design agency

Use criteria you can verify in a meeting rather than a ranking someone else published. Ask each shortlisted studio for the same five artefacts and compare the answers.

  • A research trail from a real engagement: what was asked, what was found, what changed because of it.
  • An information architecture the studio can defend against your governance model, not a sitemap redrawn from your current menu.
  • A design system you can inspect — tokens, documentation, contribution rules — and the number of live products using it today.
  • The accessibility report from the last enterprise launch, with the WCAG level worked to and how it was verified.
  • The handoff record: who wrote the front-end code, how design reviewed it, and what happened to the system after launch.

Where we fit — and where we do not

We are a strong fit for enterprise platform work: corporate and group websites, investor and career platforms, portals, multi-brand systems and long-lived digital products where design, engineering and post-launch operations belong together. We are equally comfortable design-only, handing documented systems, specs and tokens to your engineering team or another supplier.

We are a weaker fit for pure performance-marketing retainers, media buying or short-turnaround campaign production, and we say so early rather than after a proposal.

Evidence and related case studies

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between UX/UI design and web design?
Web design usually stops at the look and layout of pages. Enterprise UX/UI adds research, information architecture, interaction design, a governed design system and accessibility decisions that hold across several audiences and properties — and it continues into implementation.
What research and testing do you actually run?
Stakeholder and user interviews, analytics review, usability testing on prototypes or the live product, and prioritised findings the client team can act on. We report what was tested and with whom, not a generic methodology slide.
Do you design without building?
Yes. Design-only engagements are common, and we hand over documented systems, specs and tokens your engineering team or another vendor can implement.
How do you handle accessibility?
We design to WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast, focus order, semantics, keyboard paths and reduced-motion behaviour are decided in design and verified before launch. We describe practice and testing, not certification.
How long does a design system take?
A foundation with tokens and core components typically takes eight to sixteen weeks depending on brand complexity and the number of properties it has to serve.
Can you work inside our existing design system?
Yes. We audit what exists, keep what works, and extend it with the missing patterns and governance rather than replacing it by default.
How do you keep design intent alive through engineering?
Design and web engineering sit in one accountable team: tokens live in code, patterns are documented, design reviews the implementation and both sides work to shared acceptance criteria.
How do you handle enterprise scale — several brands and stakeholders?
Through architecture and governance: a shared token and component layer with per-brand theming, agreed approval and versioning rules, and an exception path so subsidiaries can move without fragmenting the system.
Which published cases show enterprise UX/UI across complex sectors?
Garanti BBVA API Market, GÖSAŞ Garanti BBVA Developer Portal and TAMI Developer Portal for developer experience, Garanti BBVA Leasing for corporate product journeys, Memorial Healthcare Group for healthcare service discovery, İKSV for cultural content, Çelebi Aviation for an accessible global platform and BPN for a UX audit that became continuous improvement.
Can you work alongside our in-house design team?
Yes. Embedded design capacity next to an internal team is one of the engagement shapes we use, with agreed ownership of research, patterns and system contributions.
How should we choose between UX/UI agencies?
Compare verifiable artefacts on the same criteria: a research trail, a defensible information architecture, an inspectable design system, the last accessibility report and the handoff record. Judge the evidence rather than the credentials deck.
What happens to the UX/UI work after launch?
Where a client wants continuity, design and web operations continue under managed website services so patterns, accessibility and content models stay maintained instead of drifting.
