A musician—my brother, actually—referred Greg Spencer, founder of the nationally distributed independent record label Blue Wave Records. Greg’s original website, built in 2001, was in need of a refresh—it lacked images of the bands and musicians he represented, as well as the album covers for the music he was promoting. Even ordering an album required printing out a form, marking it up, and mailing it in.
Greg didn’t want or need a full-featured online store, but we implemented a simple, user-friendly solution that allows visitors to purchase albums one at a time through PayPal.
He also hosts an annual Blues concert series spotlighting and honoring artists on his label. The new site includes a dedicated section for this event series.
Overall, the redesigned site is more engaging, colorful, and functional—bringing his label’s legacy and music to life online.
Website design highlights:
- Built on Joomla! Content Management System
- Simple PayPal integration for single-item album purchases
- Support with content editing and updates
- Fully responsive design for desktop and mobile
- Website hosting, regular backups, and ongoing technical maintenance
- Google Analytics integration for traffic insights
