Web development for musicians


Home

My day job is Web Developer, and over the years I've developed a lot of proficiency as a Photoshop jockey, layout specialist, Cold Fusion, HTML and Javascript coder, content writer, photographer, and jack of all trades. If it needs to be done on a web site, I can do almost all of it. If you're interested, here's my corporate portfolio. Below is a sampling of my music web sites. Yes, I can do this for you.


Mid-Winter Bluegrass Festival

One of the longest lived and most popular bluegrass festivals in the state of Colorado.

Web site for dobro legend Sally Van Meter. Probably the best overall graphic look of all my music sites. This site is a promotional vehicle for Sally's studio and production work and for her live and workshop appearances. This is also the first site I have done for a national caliber act, and it incorporates many of the features of my sites for regional acts.

 

Denver Barn Dance

This one started out as a project for me to work on database-driven web sites, and has gradually grown from there. It gets approximately 80 visitors a day, and it has spawned a popular concert series in Denver. It's also received a fair amount of press.

The Hi-Beams are the main act I play with. This design was inspired by the great Nashville poster design shop Hatch Show Print.

A labor of love. I originally wrote the text for this as an article to be pitched to No Depression magazine. Unfortunately, I was never able to generate any interest from the magazine, so I elected to publish it on-line myself. All is forgiven, though. I did all the graphics on this one from scratch, modeled on a style often used in '50s country records. This site gets less traffic than the Tele site, which is understandable given its limited audience, but it's my favorite out of all the sites I've done.

More sites. Here are a few more, and I always have one or two in development.
