Every project gets the full Mako treatment. Here's a look behind the scenes at what we actually deliver — the strategy, the build, and the results.
Every project we take on follows the same proven process. We don't cut corners and we don't use templates. Whether it's a one-page site for a local tradesperson or a full-stack platform for a recruitment agency, the standard is the same.
We build custom WordPress websites from scratch, optimised for speed, search engines, and mobile devices. Every site ships with our 10-point delivery checklist — a set of essentials we believe every business website needs to succeed online.
These case studies show exactly what goes into a Mako Digital project — from the initial brief through to launch and beyond.
A straightforward process that keeps you in the loop without wasting your time.
We learn about your business, your customers, your competitors, and what you need the website to actually do.
Custom WordPress theme built around your brand. Mobile-first, fast-loading, and designed to convert visitors into enquiries.
Google Search Console, analytics, structured data, sitemaps, email, security — the full technical setup most agencies skip.
Go-live, training, documentation, and ongoing support. We don't disappear after launch — we're here when you need us.
Not every project needs all 10 — but every project gets the ones it needs, done properly.
Custom WordPress theme built from scratch — no page builders, no bloat. Designed around your brand and your customers.
Contact forms, enquiry tracking, and lead capture built into your site so no opportunity slips through the cracks.
Showcase your work with auto-loading galleries, lightbox viewers, and optimised images that load fast on any device.
Domain registration or migration, DNS records, nameserver configuration — we handle the technical setup so you don't have to.
Professional email configured with SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders.
SSL certificates, firewall rules, login protection, malware scanning, and daily backups to keep your site safe and secure.
Search Console setup, XML sitemaps, structured data markup, and local SEO schema so Google can find and understand your site from day one.
Optimised for speed with lazy loading, compressed assets, server-side caching, and clean code that passes Core Web Vitals.
Google Analytics 4, call tracking, form submission events, and conversion goals so you know exactly what's working.
Full go-live process, training walkthrough, documentation, and ongoing support. We don't disappear after launch.
