2010 — 2022

2010

Two lads with a vision. Babyfaced Andy + Jason started an agency, MadeByShape was born.

2011

We met some like-minded people. Our team grew to four, specialising in web design + development.

2012

Big brands like Blackberry, BBC, and Selfridges were on our books, as well as helping start-up businesses get off the ground too.

2013

We said goodbye to the smokestacks of Manchester, and headed for tranquillity in Atherton to reduce stress and commute time.

2014

Our studio naturally grew, as did our clients. The digital awards were rolling in.

2016

Our SEO offering was now making waves. Now there were six in the studio and even more clients on the books.

2018

With a shorter commute came longer business trips. International businesses were noticing our skills.

2019

The MadeByShape family boasts a larger studio. Our expertise now sit within Web Design, Web Development, SEO + Branding.

2020

The team continues to grow through COVID. Our team is now 16-strong.

2022

We’ve worked with global giants to start-up brands. Winning awards along the way and there is still so much planned.

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.

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.

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.
