I’ve been working with Andy and the MadeByShape team for around 12 months now. They’ve been nothing shy of perfect. The team completely designed and rebuilt my website using CraftCMS which has been such a positive change against my old website in WordPress. Can’t recommend Shape enough

Daniel Poll

MadeByShape was amazing to work with. They did the branding for my new athleisure shop in Toronto, Canada. They were extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. I didn't have to give them too much direction and they completely nailed it.

For anyone needing a team that can capture a brand’s essence and translate it into an effective digital presence, Andy and the Shape team are a great choice. Their work speaks for itself – clear, effective, and true to Skew's brand.

MadeByShape have just completed a website design and build for me and it's been an absolute pleasure. The quality of work has been brilliant and communication has always been smooth. I honestly can't fault them! Our new website looks slick and works perfectly. I highly recommend Andy and his team.

The whole process from development to launch to ongoing support is seamless. The team at Shape are super helpful and using Craft CMS is a joy after switching from WordPress. I highly recommend MadeByShape.

MadeByShape is the most professional, responsive, and knowledgeable web design agency I have ever worked with. Andy has a great vision in understanding first his customers’ needs then directing them to the right answer. I would easily recommend MadeByShape. It is always a pleasure to work and collaborate with them.

Andy and the team have done a fantastic job of taking my initial brief and creating our brand design into reality which we are all super proud of! Very professional and theta definitely know what they are doing!

Adam Sage

MiChild Nurseries

Andy and the team are fantastic to work with. They are creative and responsive and are not afraid to question and challenge. We are still mid project but are extremely happy with their work so far. They are patient, give great advice and have a nice way of telling you when you need to rethink! Would hugely recommend them.

Hayley Sampson

Having just launched our brand new website with MadeByShape, we've already received comments from inbound leads who have said how much they like our website. You can't get much better feedback then that! They're a great team to work with, and communication throughout was spot on.

Jack Shepherd

The Social Shepherd

A brilliant design studio that built my website from scratch. They are friendly and approachable, with lots of great ideas that help with the planning and improvement of any project. Highly recommend!

Our Culture

We’ve created an environment where everyone feels comfortable and open, but we can have a laugh along the way

We produce good work for good people, and with the idea that staff and the client will be happy throughout the full process. This in return will bring more work our way, whether that's via recommendation or further work from that client.

My vision has always been to look after the clients we work with, but to also look after the staff just as much. That will get the best results for everyone.
