Competitive Research
Other orchestral / string arranger's websites that I researched were overcrowded with poorly organized and repetitive details. For example: some artists had separate sections for purchasing songs, as well as another section that described how the artist contributed on each musical track, and yet another section that described instrumentation.
The result was clumsy and repetitive. It was clear that I needed to rethink how to present the vast amount of information needed and desired by industry users, in order to provide a sleek portfolio.
My solution
I designed a simple solution that provides the user with basic information at first glance.
However is the user scrolls over the album cover, more informations appear revealing: album title, songs preformed on, instrumentation and streaming platforms where the song can be listened to or purchased.
The website
Video examples of work are separated in the REEL section by Film, Commercial and Pop music reel. In order to appeal to different user motivations.
Contact section includes management at the bottom of the page, but is also accessible via the hamburger menu at the top of the page.
