Doğukan Uzun — Personal Archive Site

Challenge

Doğukan Uzun needed a digital presence that matched the depth of his work as a composer and musicologist. Generic portfolio templates could not capture his academic identity or the aesthetic weight of his compositions. The site had to unify a discography, academic research, essays, and a private lesson inquiry flow under one coherent identity.

Approach

We designed the visual language around printed music scores: bass clef staff lines as decorative SVGs, a warm palette of cream (#F3EDE2), dark brown (#1A1714) and amber (#B98454), and editorial typography inspired by music publishing. For performance, we chose vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — no framework, no build pipeline, pages under 50 KB. Custom scroll-reveal animations, a floating private lesson button, and a WhatsApp/email channel-switching modal give the site its distinctive character.

Outcome

The site serves as Doğukan Uzun's definitive digital archive across six pages covering his discography, academic work, and writings. Zero JS frameworks means no render-blocking and perfect Lighthouse scores. The floating lesson button converts visitors to inquiries directly via WhatsApp in a single tap.
