Your site might be quietly losing you business.
Slow, clunky, or unclear sites cost real revenue. Most owners do not realize until a customer mentions it.
Loads too slow
Half your visitors leave before the page even paints.
Phone-unfriendly
Three-quarters of traffic is mobile. Pinch-to-zoom is a deal breaker.
Unclear next step
Visitors should never wonder what to do next.
Looks dated
A 2014 site signals a 2014 business. Trust drops on first impression.
A 4–6 week website build.
Strategy
We map your goals, audience, and the actions that matter. Sitemap and content plan locked before a pixel is pushed.

Strategy, web design direction, and client partnership. David Gravois helps business owners turn complicated marketing decisions into a clear plan for growth. He founded Make Waves Marketing, formerly Gravois Graphics, to help businesses explain what they do, build trust, and make it easier for customers to take the next step. He spent five years in oil and gas recruiting at Danos, alongside work in human resources and corporate marketing. That background informs the agency's oilfield and marine marketing and shapes his approach: understand the people, ask useful questions, and build around what the business needs to accomplish. With roots in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and a home base in Jacksonville, Florida, David leads an agency focused on web design, social media management, and practical AI consulting. He draws on hands-on experience to help clients sharpen their message, improve their websites, and put AI to work in their daily operations.
