FEATURE: SILK STREET HOT SEVEN Visit the Silk Street Hot Seven website
The Silk Street Hot Seven are a traditional dixieland jazz band available for hire accross the UK. I worked with the band to design & develop a website that would allow them to showcase their talents. The site includes information on the different line-ups available, with sound clips and videos available on each. Through the site it is also possible to book the band, read reviews, and even purchase their debut album.
Since completion of the website I have been managing Google Analytics and Adwords accounts on behalf of the band, making changes where necessary in an ongoing process of optimizing the site. The site is fully content managed using WordPress and a modified installation of my own Discography Plugin, making the site very easy to manage and maintain.
WEB DESIGN
I am a multimedia web designer and can work with you to produce graphics for a range of digital formats - from full web design packages, cover artwork and logo design to advertisements, e-mail campaigns and virals.
I have worked on several high profile band and record label websites. I have a very good understanding of the principles behind web design for music driven websites, including the sale and delivery of MP3s online. Contact me for more information.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Web development is the process by which your design drafts are turned into fully functioning, interactive websites. Good development ensures that your website meets with web standards and accessibility guidelines. This ensures that your target audience can see the website as you intended, whatever their web browser or operating system.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT
A Content Management System (CMS) is an application designed to let you create, edit and maintain data on your website.
I am able to produce bespoke systems tailored to your specific requirements, giving you the tools you need to manage your website easily and effectively. I can also work with popular open-source publishing tools such as WordPress and Drupal.
E-COMMERCE
The web is an ideal platform to sell your products. Whether they are tangible items such as works of art or virtual products like MP3s, I can help you get your business online. I can build custom store fronts and administration systems and can work with open-source applications like osCommerce and Magento.
SEO
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) increases the number of visitors to your website by improving your website's page ranking in search results.
As search engines become more sophisticated, the focus is on producing content rich websites with clear navigation and good accessibility. I ensure that the websites I produce meet with search engine guidelines to maximise your website's potential.
