Update

As of September 2009 this website is no longer available online. However businesses interested to learn about the coding mechanics of the site may still contact me for code examples.

Design brief

Midlands Music Community wanted a fresh redesign of their existing site which was failing to be seen or used. In addition to the site they commisioned me to create them a new identity.

Work done

At the heart of Midmus, lay the concept of bands and venues being able to post gig dates and information onto the site for others to see.

This was a joint project between myself doing front-end design and branding and another web developer doing the PHP development and database work.

I researched different content management systems and set about producing their new site in Drupal with extended modules for the unique functionality that would be required.

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.
