Mako Studio — Montgomery, TX
AI-native designand engineering.
Mako Studio is the in-house web team at Mako Logics. Every site we ship is designed, built, and deployed with AI-native workflows — premium quality at a fraction of traditional agency timelines.

What we doBuilt end-to-end.
Built end-to-end.
Shipped fast.
Most freelancers hand you a design and disappear. Most agencies pass you between strangers. Mako Studio does all of it — design, build, deploy, host, maintain — without losing the thread.
Web Development
Next.js, React, and modern stacks. Fast page loads, accessible components, solid forms, real analytics. Built to be maintained — not abandoned.
AI Integration
Chatbots, LLM-powered search, content generation, embeddings, RAG over client docs. Real AI features shipped inside the product — not bolted-on marketing fluff. It's the whole DNA of this studio.
SEO
Schema, sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, structured data, AI-search ready (LLMs.txt, FAQ + HowTo). Built in at build time — not sold back to you as a $500/mo retainer. Most "SEO packages" are agencies charging monthly to fix what should have been done right the first time. We do it right the first time.
Security
Rate limits, Turnstile, MFA, strict CSP, encrypted secrets, Cloudflare edge WAF, error monitoring, automated dependency audits. Not an add-on, not a post-breach scramble — every Mako site ships hardened from day one. The same protection we use on the portal that runs our own business.
Hosting & Ops
Vercel, Cloudflare, domain routing, email deliverability, monitoring, and update work. One partner, one invoice, one Slack thread.

How we buildAI-native.
AI-native.
Not AI-assisted.
"AI-assisted" means someone's hand-coding with autocomplete. "AI-native" means the AI IS the engineer — and the studio is built around that. It's a fundamentally different shape, and it's how every Mako Studio project ships.
01
Built with Claude — every site, every line
We use Claude Code as our primary build partner. Not a plugin, not a helper — the core of the development pipeline. No WordPress, no visual page builders, no templates-as-products.
02
Design and build run in parallel
Traditional agencies hand off a design to a developer and lose two weeks in translation. AI-native workflows compress design + code into one motion — you see working pages sooner.
03
One engineer, full pipeline
Discovery, design, engineering, deployment, maintenance — each project runs through one engineer with AI leverage, end-to-end. What used to take a five-person team now takes one. Nothing gets lost between specialists because there are no specialists to hand off to.
04
Premium quality at startup speed
What used to take 6 weeks ships in 2. Not because we cut corners — because the overhead that a traditional agency bills for (meetings, hand-offs, review cycles) doesn't exist here.
