A clear home for music, events and enquiries

An artist’s website has several jobs at once. Listeners want to hear the music, find an event or reach the right contact. The artist needs to update those details without turning each edit into a development project.

I worked on a static website that brings those routes together. The site contains music and artist information, tour dates, a lessons signup and a contact form, with merchandise handled by a separate store.

Keep the public pages simple

The pages use HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript. Most of the experience is readable content and links; form submissions use small serverless functions.

The contact form supports an ordinary form submission as well as the enhanced browser interaction. Visitors can still send an enquiry when JavaScript is unavailable.

Give repeated content one home

Navigation and the tour list are maintained as shared fragments and synchronised into the pages. That reduces the number of places an editor must remember to change when a date or destination moves.

The merchandise page became a redirect to the store. Keeping that destination explicit lets the website focus on introducing the artist and helping visitors choose a next step.

Make frequent changes manageable

The work included a mobile menu, cleaner page structure, form handling and performance and accessibility improvements. Images, fonts and embedded media each needed attention because a light page can become slow through the services it includes.

Hosting configuration covered clean URLs, redirects, caching and security headers. The handover lesson was to keep one clear deployment path and one maintained implementation of each form.

What I would carry into the next website

Keep event data in one source so the page, structured information and machine-readable summary agree. Make essential enquiries work through the simplest browser path. Give the owner a small set of things to maintain.

This case describes the documented website work through August 2026. It does not attach traffic or sales results to the design. The illustration is conceptual artwork rather than a reproduction of the artist’s identity or site.
