first CTA

The challenge

A secluded Amalfi resort sells a feeling. Affluent travelers have to feel escape, beauty, and rarity in the first second — anything less reads as ordinary.

The approach

Golden-hour imagery, a sun-warmed palette, an elegant serif, and slow, confident motion. Whitespace as luxury; every section a scene change rather than a repeated template.

The result

An immersive, awwwards-tier experience that could stand beside the best hospitality sites in the world.

contact flow

The challenge

UptownROI scales 6, 7 & 8-figure DTC brands — so their own site had to project that same level of performance and credibility, not blend into a sea of agency clones.

The approach

I designed a bold, dark, conversion-first layout that leads with the promise and the proof, then hand-built it to load fast and read perfectly on every screen.

The result

A confident, high-impact site that earns trust instantly and gives serious brands a clear path to apply and work with them.

Dev-first

credibility

The challenge

A fintech infrastructure brand whose buyers — CTOs, founders, CFOs — judge trust by design polish in milliseconds. The site itself has to signal the product is real.

The approach

Near-black canvas, a cyan-to-violet accent, a live-coded latency chart and a genuine API snippet. Motion is strategic and precise — nothing on the page is decorative.

The result

A page that feels engineered, not marketed — the fastest way to earn a technical buyer's trust.

e-commerce

The challenge

A DTC botanical skincare brand is judged by how refined it feels — and it still has to convert. Beauty and commerce had to coexist without either one flinching.

The approach

Bone, sage and blush with a whisper of gold, editorial product layouts instead of a boring card grid, and soft tactile hovers. Real cart and subscribe-and-save baked in.

The result

A premium storefront that's calm and tactile up top, with product-first hierarchy and conversion mechanics running underneath.

custom visuals

The challenge

A steel-building contractor needed a site as bold and durable as what they put up — a first impression as strong as a finished barndominium, not another cookie-cutter contractor page.

The approach

I went dark and industrial — oversized type, a safety-orange accent, and a custom-drawn steel building that assembles itself as you arrive. No stock photos anywhere; every visual is built to spec.

The result

A flagship site that reads 'built to last,' funnels every page toward a quote request, and gives a local contractor a presence that punches well above its weight.

first funnel

The challenge

A boutique law firm needs to feel established and discreet the instant you land — without the tired blue-lawyer clichés or a stock courtroom photo.

The approach

A high-contrast display serif, deep ink, and restrained brass over a warm, book-lined editorial hero. Measured, dignified motion throughout — the digital equivalent of a good handshake.

The result

A firm that reads like it charges what it's worth: proof-led, calm, and with a clear path to a consultation.

conversion flow

The challenge

Homeowners choosing an HVAC company don't want a show — they want proof the business runs a tight, reliable operation. The site had to feel trustworthy and fast, not flashy.

The approach

Coastal blues over warm sand, sturdy humanist type, and whisper-only motion. Trust signals up top, a free-quote CTA never more than a tap away — premium through clarity, not spectacle.

The result

A calm, credible home-service site that reads 'these people show up on time' and turns a nervous search into a booked visit.

Founder-led, start to finish. I take on just a handful of clients at a time — so your project gets my full attention from first sketch to launch, never handed off to a junior on a 50-client roster.

How it works

A calm, clear process from hello to launch.

Discover

We start with a conversation. I learn your business, your goals, and your customers — so the site is built around outcomes, not guesses.

Design

I craft the look and feel, map out every page, and share a clear, interactive design you can react to before a single line of code.

Build

I hand-build your site to be fast, responsive, and rock-solid — testing on real devices so it feels great everywhere.

Launch & care

We go live together. I make sure everything is humming, then I'm around to help you grow and keep it sharp.

About

Hi, I’m Donavian.

I’m a 26-year-old freelance designer, a husband, and a brand-new dad to a baby boy. Building things that make life better for people is kind of my whole deal — at home and at work.

MakeItClick exists for one reason: to help businesses scale by building amazing websites their customers actually love. I believe a great website should feel effortless to use, look unmistakably yours, and quietly do the work of bringing in new business while you focus on running it.

Built to perform

Pretty isn't enough. Every site is built to load fast and turn visitors into customers.

Real communication

You work directly with me — no account managers, no jargon, no disappearing.

Genuinely invested

When your business grows, mine does too. I treat your project like it's my own.

Pricing

Simple packages. No surprises.

Flat project pricing — the price you see is the price you pay. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices. Every site is custom-built for your business and quoted in full before we start.
