— Common Questions —

Things people always ask.

The questions every prospective client asks about the case studies. Honest answers.

What's in a Mako Digital case study?

Each case study walks through the full build — the brief, the design decisions, the technical architecture, the schema implementation, and the launch process. Real screenshots, real client info, real workflow. Click any case study below to read the build story.

Are these all real, paying clients?

Every single one. Every site linked here is a real, in-production website or SaaS platform we've shipped for a paying client. No placeholders, no concept demos, no portfolios from years ago dressed up as recent work.

Can I speak to any of these clients before commissioning work?

Absolutely. Tell us who you'd most like to hear from — we'll get the introduction sorted. Most of the clients featured here have left Google reviews already, so you can read those first too.

How do you decide what kind of build a client needs?

Free discovery call. We talk through your business, your customers, your data, and your budget. Some clients need a one-page site (£149.99), some need a five-page WordPress build (£449.99), some need a multi-page custom site (from £749), some need a full SaaS platform (from £999). Same approach: bespoke quote, fixed-price, no scope creep.

Will my project become a case study?

Only with your permission. We always ask before publishing case studies. Some clients prefer to stay quiet (especially in B2B SaaS where competitors are watching) — that's fine. Either way, you get the same quality build.
