2023 Makeway Downloaded

Well, that’s a wrap!

As we put a bow on 2023, we’d like to say thank you. From everyone here at Makeway: thanks for your partnership, for your support, and for just being someone we like to work with.

You’re the reason we do what we do. Sure, we’re geeks who find joy in writing the perfect code or creating a beautiful design. But we do it for people. The digital experiences that we build mean nothing if they don’t ultimately make your life or the world better in some way.

It’s all the more special to work on these projects with great folks like you. We’re truly grateful you’ve entrusted us with your brand and inspired us to do our best work.

With your support, we accomplished a lot in 2023.

This year has brought unique challenges, from global instability to economic uncertainty. We know that there’s always more we can do to build a better future for all, and we’re inspired to continue to use our talent at Makeway to contribute.

It’s hard to believe, but 2023 was our 4th year operating as a distributed team. It takes intentional effort to build culture and bond with teammates across states and countries, but that’s exactly what we’re doing. We hope you enjoy working with the dedicated individuals at Makeway as much as we do. We’re proud of the entire Makeway team for bringing their best every day and making impactful solutions.

As we reflect on 2023, we’re also looking ahead to 2024 and all of the great things to come (stay tuned for some exciting announcements! 🤫).

Next year will be Makeway’s 14th in business, and we can honestly say that we’ve never been more excited about the work we’re doing. We couldn’t do it without you.
