Our story

Design got us started. Leads keep us going.

Doohickey started as a graphic design studio back in 2007, moved into websites, and was building on WordPress before page builders existed. Today that means fast Elementor sites, Google, Microsoft and Meta ads, SEO for Google and AI search, and the hosting that keeps it all running. Design is still part of every project.

Along the way we learned what a small business owner actually cares about. Not clicks. Not impressions. Calls and form fills. So that’s what we measure, and that’s what we report on. If it doesn’t bring in leads, it doesn’t count.

The tools keep changing, AI included, and we use them. The job doesn’t change: make your phone ring.

How we work

One accountable partner, not three vendors.

When your web person, your SEO person and your ads agency are three different companies, leads fall through the gaps and everyone points at someone else. Here’s how we do it instead.

Direct line, no handoffs

No account managers and no middlemen. When you call or email, you reach the person doing the work.

Ads, site and SEO built together

Every ad points to a page built to convert, with tracking in place, so nothing gets lost between the click and the call.

Numbers that mean something

Reports show calls, form fills, conversion rate and cost per lead, not impressions and clicks on their own.

Why these numbers →

Done for you

You run your business. We handle the website, ads and SEO day to day, and send a plain-English report on what they brought in.

We own and operate a mobile mechanic buisness here in Jacksonville FL and Dan has done & continues to do great work for us. From SEO services to google ads and website management he has really helped our business excel forward. Very responsive and a no bs kind of guy.

Dan and the Doohickey team are amazing! They really have helped my business grow. Very professional and creative. Thanks again!

Eric Clayton

This team built us a very complicated website that includes integrated woocommerce ordering system, customer portal, automated email statuses on orders, etc. The work they put into our website (over the course of 5 months) will end up saving us so much time managing our small business. They made our vision a reality even though we werent even sure how all this would/should work. Don't hesitate to give them a call for your website design needs.

As a six-time CEO, I have worked with numerous marketing firms. What differentiates Doohickey is: response time, strategic thinking, consideration about client budgets and how to spend money wisely, and attention to delivering on-time, high quality work. The company is a pleasure to work with.

Fariba Sarshad

Jonathan William

Wonderful experience! Dan and his team are absolutely fantastic. Excellent quality work and very timely in delivery. They helped me significantly building my site and I plan on using them for my marketing as well.

Mark Alan Lovewell

These folks are terrific. Their contribution of expertise not only included web design but also common sense thinking to help us promote our services. Our project to redesign the website began earlier this summer. We had challenges and issues to address. We put all the issues on the table and the crew at Doohickey Creative listened and reimagined our project. We think they did a valuable service to us, bringing their expertise to help distill and capture our message and translate it to a new fully functioning website.

We had a very odd wordpress glitch that all the normal troubleshooting procedures couldn't fix. We needed a code sleuth that could track this down. So we contacted Doohickey. They were right on it and for a reasonable price had it fixed in a few hours. They were fast, professional (keeping us in the loop the whole time) and successful! Highly recommended!

Tammy Hanson

Doohickey delivered a great website and logo for my start up company and in a very reasonable time frame. I had many questions and they were so helpful. I personally want to thank Dan and Gail for making my site look so amazing!!

Lou Rossi

We were very pleased with Dan's work! He was very efficient and fast with what we needed! I will for sure be using this company again for any WordPress help I need! He was so very helpful!

Walter Miltenberger

I came to Doohickey and Dan with a problem that I had literally spent 5 hours on. I was frustrated and almost convinced it was unsolvable. I was worried about letting someone into my site, but after talking on the phone with Dan I decided to take the plunge and have Dan look at it. I'm so glad I did. He figured out what was wrong and fixed it very quickly and for a very reasonable price. I will definitely work with Dan in the future if I have any other issues. I wish I would have hired him sooner!

Mark Troisi

Let me say this so it is perfectly clear. I love Doohickey, service, creativity, response time and competence. This has not changed and you can print that.

Best money I ever spent!!! After driving myself crazy trying to fix a wordpress issue myself, Dan at Doohickey was able to fix the problem in a matter of a couple hours. If you need professional help in a timely fashion you need to contact Dan!

Sunshines Catering

Omg, Dan is such a lifesaver! I lost complete access to my website two weeks ago and called multiple places attempting to explain what was going on but no one understood my explanation. I found Dan with Doohickey today and not only was he able to understand my limited knowledge of the issue, he was able to fix it same day and I have my website back. I am so grateful that I went with Doohickey! The customer service and turnaround was amazing. Definitely using them for all my website issues and recommending to all my friends! Thanks Dan!

Robert Horning

Brand 9

As a business owner I'm asked quite a bit "Do you know or recommend anyone that creates websites?" I have to say from all of the questions I'm asked for recommendations that one is without a doubt the easiest to answer. Doohickey Creative is always the answer and I highly suggest anyone in the market for a new site to use them. Dan's the man!

Kellie Erlacher

It's been nothing but wonderful working with Doohickey. They are fast, professional, and always produce high-quality work!

Ted Alesch

I am a current client and have used Doohickey on numerous occasions over the years and have been beyond satisfied with all of their work. They are cutting edge, sharp, quick and know what they are doing. They are true professionals in a world full of imposters and telemarketing con artists. I'd highly recommend their services.
