Portfolio: Musician Websites

This project for Kelly Clarkson of American Idol fame, involved the design of the website and other supporting materials. This design is from earlier in Kelly’s career when the audience skewed younger and female which dictated the playful brighter pink and purple color scheme.

Country music star Jason Aldean needed an updated website design that reflected the evolution of his career. The design achieved this via a cleaner more organized architecture. This project included site design and design and development of supporting elements such as html email templates and html-based landing pages. While Jason’s website has evolved from the original design, this version of jasonaldean.com is still worth a spot in the portfolio.

This website for Christian Musician CeCe Winans represents her music and “brand” through its clean and classy layout. Large promotional photography serves as a focal point against the largely black and white design. Website development was part of the project and the site was built using an open source content management system to allow the client to fully control their site and make updates with ease. The site includes a Flash jukebox, user commenting and message boards to give fans a more interactive experience.

Once again, Justin McBride’s team contacted Nashville Interactive for a fresh online presence. The result reflects the growth in Justin’s career via more in-depth content promotion, self-hosted ecommerce store front, self-hosted fan club. We also provide on-going marketing and content management services to keep the fan base engaged.

Nashville Interactive was contracted to design country music star Gretchen Wilson’s website. The new site sports a contemporary look with large background images and a classy, dark feel.

Colbie Caillat wanted an environmental site design themed around a “Colbie’s Room” concept. In order to achieve a stylized look, the site was designed and built using over 30 composited stock images acquired from varying sources. Unfortunately this design was replaced after over two years on the web. All good things must come to an end.

Amanda Nagurney needed a website that reflected her maturing career and that could be updated easily. The solution was a self-hosted, open-source content management system. This means that Amanda controls her own website and doesn’t have to worry about being locked-in to proprietary software which often involve fairly hefty fees for hosting, ongoing maintenance and licensing.

She also wowed judges on the popular TV show “America’s Got Talent”. Alice went from the subway to the big stage and needed a website to reflect the progression of her career. The website design draws inspiration from her days of singing in the subways, using fonts and design elements from the NY subway system signage but also reflects the new heights she’s reached as well. The project included design and development of a full site built on a content management system for easy updates.

DIDDYBLOG.com is the online home for stories of inspiration, triumph and positivity sponsored by Mr. Sean “Puffy/Diddy/Puff Daddy/etc.” Combs. A design was developed that allows the visual imagery and videos to tell the stories with little interference from unnecessary design elements. In order to keep the design clean, the site’s main navigation is located under a super-dropdown “MORE” menu. Nashville Interactive was contracted to help out with the site and played a large role in the design and development.

Canadian country music artist Krysta Scoggins, needed a fresh website design to reflect her new image and to support her new album. Nashville Interactive had designed and developed Krysta’s previous website and we were happy to work with Krysta again. The site includes social media integrations, photo and video galleries, event calendar and third party ecommerce functionality.

This website design for for up-and-coming country music artist Jamie Tate has a simple and light feel that relates to the artist’s music. Nashville Interactive was hired to perform the country music artist’s website design as well as the logo design.

Joebros, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides a “Fundraiser in a box” offering. They take care of everything a ministry may need to put on a fundraising event from the music to the food. In the interest of moving the organization forward, Joebros enlisted the services of Nashville Interactive to create a professional, easy-to-update website that would allow them to put their best foot forward. The site features jukeboxes, artist profiles, photo and video galleries and more.

Justin McBride is a World Champion bull rider, the all-time leading money winner on the PBR tour and now boasts an up-and-coming career as a country music artist. This website was built on an open-source content management system in order to give the client more control over their own site. The previous site was largely Flash-based which created many headaches when it came time to update content. An online store including physical and digital merchandise was also a part of this project.

Nashville-based folk/rock/hippie musician Todd Snider required a website design that reflected his quirky demeanor. An atypical layout was used along with a mix of stock photos and promotional photos. Unfortunately this artist web design is no longer live but it’s worth a mention.
