One element of the Web Promotion services we’re currently providing to Amanda McBroom and her label, Gecko Records is MySpace customization.

MySpace closes their framework up pretty good, and customizing your profile generally requires implementing workarounds, weird code customizations.
It took a little while to figure it all out, but we’ve got it now.

And with that comes another skillset for our toolbox! I love a challenge.

When Guitar Legend and Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer Dave Mason needed a new website to promote his music, he wanted something modern, but not so modern that it would scare people away.

One major issue with websites as they age, is that they will usually be maintained by several different people, and they tend to get rather cluttered rather quickly, as new features are added, especially when these features are not within the original scope of work.

Dave’s existing website was several years old, and didn’t reflect his own musical evolution. He also needed a site which was scalable, and could grow as new features and technologies become available.

This was our challenge. Here are some before and after shots.

First the before: (Click on any of the photos for a larger view)

Note the logo on the upper left. Dave needed a re-brand and a logo which could tell a modern tale. Here’s what we came up with.

We build new websites using CMS platforms whenever possible. CMS stands for Content Management System, and the primary benefit of a CMS is that the site owner can update content and add new pages by themselves.

For traditional, static HTML websites, the day inevitably arrives when the time and labor costs associated with regular updates and maintenance lead to the decision to tear down and rebuild something new. There’s no better time than this to also revisit your overall design. If the last design work was done 2-3 years ago (or longer!) chances are, your site feels a bit outmoded. Of course, this is to your advantage if you’re going for “retro.” If you’re not intentionally recalling the days of old in your site presentation, however, now’s the time to have your look and feel updated.

Remember, your site is in most cases your business’ public face. If it feels outmoded to you, you can bet your bottom dollar that it feels outmoded to your customers.

Here’s the resign Pausha did for Amanda McBroom, when Amanda needed to replace her existing site with something more current. Amanda’s requests were “make it fresh.” Here’s some examples. Click on any image to view larger.
