Before

Their site was a simple set of outbound links and a few video embeds. They wanted a fresh, interactive home that stays current, works on desktop and mobile, and avoids multiple videos blasting audio at once.

The hidden cost

Content coming soon.

What we did

Sun Locke rebuilt the site from archived design references and created a dynamic layout that features the newest video and routes fans to their chosen streaming platform. Video previews stay silent until hover for a clean experience.

How they felt

Honestly, this feels like my real home on the internet now. Before, it was kind of just there. Now it actually looks like me. It feels clean, alive, and like my art finally has a place to breathe.

Outcome

A modern music hub replaced a long list of links, making it easier for fans to watch the latest video and stream on their platform of choice. It now works smoothly on desktop and mobile, with previews that only play audio on hover.
