Brief

To create a fresh redesign of their existing web site introducing essential new features.

Work done

At the heart of Midlands Music Community, lay the concept of bands and venues being able to post gig dates and information onto the site for other users to see in a centralised environment. This would allow bands to advertise themselves and create wider recognition

Working in partnership with a back-end developer I took on all front-end design responsabilities including the layout, design and overall look and feel whilst integrating the design with the Drupal CMS in order to get the fucntionality we needed to make the site work.

I provided advice on delivering a targeted product and brand in order to appeal to a more specific audience. It is my belief that the competition were failing becasue they were too general and were trying to appeal to a to wider audience.
