Makom Balev • Creating a Digital Identity for a Rustic Culinary

Mako Balev isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a farm-to-table experience and event space deeply connected to nature. Every meal tells a story, every event feels personal, and every detail reflects sustainability.

The challenge? To craft a modern, immersive digital experience that translates this unique atmosphere into a seamless, engaging, and visually rich website.

Mako Balev needed more than just a functional website—it needed a digital space that felt as inviting and organic as the farm itself. The site had to:

• Tell the story of farm-to-table dining in an engaging, visual way.

• Make event bookings seamless for weddings, private dinners, and farm tours.

• Showcase the farm’s sustainability efforts and seasonal approach to food.

The website mirrors Mako Balev’s essence—earthy, warm, and authentic. I used:

• Earth-toned color palettes to reflect nature and sustainability.

• Clean, modern typography to balance elegance with approachability.

• Organic shapes & subtle animations to bring the site to life.

✨ Goal: Create a site that doesn’t just inform—but makes users feel immersed in the experience.

Visitors should immediately feel at home on the site. I streamlined navigation to make it effortless:

✔ Clear, structured menu with focus on Restaurant, Events, and The Farm.

✔ Smooth scrolling experience that guides users naturally through the content.

✔ Fast, intuitive event booking process with clear call-to-action buttons.

The redesigned website transforms Mako Balev’s digital presence into an extension of the real-world experience. The impact?

More engagement: Users now spend more time exploring the restaurant’s story.

Higher booking conversions: A smoother inquiry process means fewer drop-offs.

Stronger brand identity: The new design makes Mako Balev stand out in a competitive market.

This project reinforced how great design enhances storytelling. By focusing on visual narratives, user experience, and intuitive interactions, we built a digital space that truly reflects Mako Balev’s essence.
