April 2010, Luscinia Choir‚Äö website design and WordPress theme development
The brand new website we developed for Luscinia Choir is the first we have done completely virtual. In other words, we have only had contact with the client via email and Skype during the entire design process and production time.
Luscinia Choir is a relatively small choir with members of all ages from many different nationalities who share their passion of singing. The main purpose of the website is to give the choir a small online presence. They also want to use the website to share documents and to announce upcoming performances with a handy form that friends and family can use to make reservations.
For the design of the website we basically had the logo, a color suggestion and the words “simple” and “playful” to go on. We have used the chirping bird of the logo in a couple of different ways and have used CSS3 to get nice rounded corners.
In terms of development we of course have chosen WordPress as the CMS platform and we built a theme from scratch with only a few plugins. Apart from the “usual suspects” the Events Manager plugin by David Benini and Justin Tadlock’s Members plugin proved to be invaluable.
The screenshot below is taken while logged in as a member, the “Members Only” menu in the sidebar does not show for website visitors that are not a member of Luscinia Choir.
On the testimonials page you can read what the client had to say after we delivered the website.
