Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

MadeByCat managed the project in a structured, transparent, and highly collaborative way. The project was planned around clear milestones and deliverables, and the team consistently delivered agreed items on time. Communication throughout the project was smooth and responsive. They kept us informed about progress, clearly communicated technical considerations, and responded quickly whenever we had a new requirement, question, or change request. What we particularly appreciated was their proactive approach. Rather than simply implementing our requests, the team provided recommendations around UX/UI, accessibility, SEO, GEO, performance, and technical architecture whenever they identified opportunities for improvement. They were flexible when priorities changed and worked closely with our team throughout design, development, testing, and launch. Overall, the project management process was reliable, well-organized, and made it easy for us to follow the project's progress from start to finish.

What was your primary form of communication with MadeByCat?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about MadeByCat was their ability to combine creative design, strong technical expertise, and a forward-looking approach within a single team. They did not approach the project as simply a website design and development task. They considered the entire digital experience, including UX/UI, accessibility, performance, SEO, GEO and AI discoverability, scalability, and long-term maintainability. Their proactive approach was particularly valuable. The team frequently identified opportunities and recommended improvements beyond our initial requirements rather than simply executing what was requested. This combination of creativity, technical depth, and understanding of emerging technologies made MadeByCat stand out as a long-term digital technology partner rather than a traditional web agency.

Are there any areas for improvement or something MadeByCat could have done differently?

We were very satisfied with both the process and the final outcome. We did not identify any significant areas for improvement during the project. MadeByCat understood our requirements well, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered the project in line with our expectations.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

MadeByCat was responsible for the end-to-end redesign (with creating CMS) and development of our corporate website. The scope of work included revisiting the website’s information architecture and user experience, creating a modern and globally consistent UI/UX design, developing the front-end and back-end infrastructure, supporting content migration, and ensuring the platform is responsive, scalable, and easy to manage.

Additionally, MadeByCat implemented and customized a dedicated Google Maps API solution tailored to our specific business needs, enabling an enhanced and more functional location-based experience for website users.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project delivered measurable improvements across several key digital performance areas. According to Google PageSpeed Insights, both our SEO scores and overall page performance improved significantly following the launch of the new website (from avg.65 to from avg 85).

Faster loading times and an optimized technical infrastructure contributed to a better user experience across devices. We also saw an increase in website traffic, supported by the creation of relevant content and landing pages based on user interests and traffic trends. The new website’s flexible structure has enabled us to continuously develop targeted content and pages, contributing to increased visibility and organic traffic over time.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

MadeByCat took a solution-oriented approach to our needs and challenges throughout the project. We had often brainstorming sessions focused not only on what could be done, but also on what should be done to achieve the best possible outcome. They were quick to respond and take action in unforeseen situations and always made an effort to address our requests and requirements. From a project management perspective, the collaboration was well planned and structured.

The team consistently took deadlines into consideration and managed the project in alignment with the different phases we needed to follow. We would especially like to thank Erman, Ulaş, Banu, and all the other team members who contributed to the project for their dedication, responsiveness, and support throughout the process.

What was your primary form of communication with MadeByCat?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was how quickly MadebyCat adapted to our team and took ownership of the project.

They were able to understand and organize complex website structures and complete the migration and development of a large volume of subpage content efficiently.

Their accessibility, flexibility, responsiveness, and strong work ethic throughout the project were particularly impressive. They consistently made themselves available when needed and approached challenges with a positive and solution-oriented.

Are there any areas for improvement or something MadeByCat could have done differently?

Overall, we were very satisfied with the collaboration and the quality of work delivered.

One potential area for improvement could be simplifying the process for creating additional basic subpages. While I understand the effort and technical considerations involved, having a more pure approach for these types of pages's design could make the creation process even more efficient and budget-friendly.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a department director of Global Ports Holding, the world’s largest cruise port operator. We manage 35 cruise ports in 20 countries and provide services for over 22 million passengers annually. We also have a commercial port operation that specializes in container and general cargo handling.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with MadeByCat?

We needed to create a new comprehensive digital ecosystem for more than 30 of our cruise port websites. Our objective was to establish a best-in-class standard for cruise port websites that could serve as a benchmark within the industry while creating a consistent look, feel, and UX across our global network.At the same time, each website needed to effectively address the needs of its key stakeholders, including cruise passengers, cruise lines, local partners, and other visitors. We wanted the sites to be intuitive, easy to navigate, and familiar in structure while still allowing each port and destination to retain its own identity.Ultimately, the goal was to create a scalable GPH-wide digital standard that delivers a consistently high-quality experience across all of our cruise port websites.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

MadeByCat has handled the project end-to-end, covering both the design and backend development of the websites. They first created the overall website framework and a comprehensive master design that could work across the GPH network. From there, they adapted and shaped each individual port website based on the specific needs, content, and characteristics of that port while maintaining a consistent overall GPH look and feel.

Some of the main deliverables have included the development of a flexible website framework and a set of common templates that could be used consistently across our global port network while still allowing each port to tailor its website to its own destination and operational needs.

MadeByCat has also delivered a number of integrations and functional tools, including integration with our proprietary berthing software, Google Maps integration, and other port-specific functionalities designed to improve the user journey and provide visitors with relevant, up-to-date information.

The platform has been built with an easy-to-manage CMS, enabling our local port teams to update and manage their own content. MadeByCat has also developed reusable content modules that can be applied across the network.

Their scope has also included supporting the content implementation process and providing training to our port teams so they can manage and update their own website content effectively. The relationship has continued beyond the initial launch. MadeByCat still supports us with ongoing development, improvements, and the introduction of new features as our needs evolve.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from MadeByCat.

How did you come to work with MadeByCat?

We found them through an online search and a referral. We chose them over other options because they were close to our geographic location, had a great culture fit, offered good value for the cost, and were referred to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in the second half of 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The most immediate measurable outcome has been the successful completion and rollout of the new websites across our global cruise port network, creating a much more consistent digital standard across more than 30 locations.
As the websites are primarily information and stakeholder communication platforms rather than sales-driven websites, we don’t measure their success through direct revenue or conversion metrics. In addition, not enough time has passed since the full rollout to assess longer-term performance trends in a meaningful way.
At this stage, the key indicators of success have been the successful implementation of the new platform, the consistency achieved across the network, the ability of our local teams to manage their own content, and the delivery of the required integrations and functionality across the different port websites.
Feedback from our local port teams has been very positive, particularly around the consistency of the websites, ease of content management, and the improved UX. The teams also value having a clear structure that still allows each port to reflect its own destination and local needs.

How did MadeByCat perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, MadeByCat has managed the project well. During the most intensive phases, they’ve been particularly committed in terms of resource allocation and have made a strong effort to meet our requirements and deadlines. Given the scale and long-term nature of the project, there have naturally been some adjustments along the way, but overall, the project has been delivered within a reasonable timeframe.
We primarily communicate through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What has stood out the most is the way MadeByCat has taken ownership of the project and worked as an extension of our in-house team. They’ve also been very proactive on the technical and technology side, regularly bringing new ideas, developments, and opportunities to our attention and helping us keep the platform up to date.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

As part of the project, Hasçelik’s corporate website underwent a comprehensive overhaul covering its information architecture, user experience, interface design, and technical infrastructure. Corporate content, product groups, production facilities, sustainability initiatives, and investor and career sections were restructured to ensure greater clarity and accessibility. The scope of the project also encompassed mobile responsiveness, page performance, SEO infrastructure, content management, security, and multilingual capabilities. Key outcomes of the project include the creation of a modern digital platform that powerfully reflects Hasçelik’s current brand identity and corporate transformation; improved user access to products and information; more efficient internal content management; and the establishment of a sustainable infrastructure ready for future enhancements. Following the launch, MadeByCat continues to provide maintenance, technical support, bug fixes, and further developments based on evolving needs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

While we have not consolidated all periodic project metrics into a single comparative report, the key measurable outcomes demonstrating progress are as follows: Improvements were achieved in mobile responsiveness and page load performance. Organic search visibility and the number of SEO-friendly, indexable pages were increased. A navigation structure was established that allows users to access product and corporate content in fewer steps. The time required for internal content updates and reliance on the agency were reduced. Technical errors and development requests identified post-launch were systematically tracked and resolved. A scalable infrastructure was implemented to accommodate new content regarding products, investments, and sustainability. Should precise figures be required, metrics such as organic traffic growth, user engagement, conversion counts, average engagement time, Core Web Vitals scores, and completed support requests can be compared against the previous period using data from GA4, Google Search Console, and technical performance reports. Therefore, rather than sharing unverified rates, we evaluate the current results based on measurable areas of improvement.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project was managed in a generally organized, communicative, and collaborative manner. The MadeByCat team kept track of our requirements through regular meetings and feedback loops, adopting a solution-oriented approach to our requests regarding design, content, and technical development. Key project deliverables were generally submitted in accordance with the planned schedule; however, timeline adjustments were required for certain tasks due to changes in scope, additional development requests, and mutual approval processes. During these periods, the team managed the process transparently by re-evaluating priorities. They also responded to our post-launch requests for maintenance, bug fixes, and further development with an accessible and supportive attitude.

What was your primary form of communication with MadeByCat?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The feature we found most impressive about MadeByCat was their supportive and solution-oriented work culture. Our collaboration was strengthened by the team’s focus—going beyond merely executing requests to truly understanding our needs, anticipating potential issues, and developing appropriate solutions. Their accessible, constructive, and flexible approach throughout the process, combined with their ability to quickly adapt to our changing requirements, were key factors that set the company apart for us.

Are there any areas for improvement or something MadeByCat could have done differently?

Regarding areas for improvement, a more proactive approach could be adopted during post-project maintenance and development phases. It would be beneficial to track requests more transparently—including priorities, assigned personnel, and target completion dates—and to provide regular status updates. Additionally, subjecting enhancements to a more comprehensive quality control process covering mobile responsiveness, user experience, SEO, and technical performance prior to delivery could reduce the need for feedback and revisions. Overall, we are pleased with our collaboration and believe these improvements would make the process more efficient and predictable.
