I created a radio station for a DJ who will be featuring his own playlists, radio show and podcasts. The site will be live as soon as the broadcasting license is in place.

I created a site for Azure Music, a Chicago based record label that will be featuring blues, rock, R&B, funk, and hip-hop artists. In the years to come, the site can be scaled to accommodate a growing roster of artistic talent. I used primal colors, like red, black, white and blue to highlight the artists and the music. The site is responsive, SEO optimized and links to the recording artists’ store as well as to Amazon, where their CDs are sold.

I created Blues Today, a digital music magazine with reviews, news, video and soundstage performances. Blues Today was created to promote Chicago based musicians with roots in the blues but will feature rock, R&B, funk, soul, hip-hop and more. I not only created multiple pages to showcase the musicians and bands, but wrote the content, did interviews and reviews. As usual, I created the on-page search engine optimization.

A non-for -profit site that raises money for music education in inner city schools and for the healthcare of all Chicago based musicians.
The founder of the non-profit also wanted to feature iconic Chicago Blues musicians in addition to the foundation’s pages. I created a historical timeline, a favorites playlist, local blues clubs recommendations, as well as a biography section featuring local Blues legends and a recommended documentaries page.
The website has a blog and a store and will be growing and evolving in the years to come.
The owner specified black and white photogrphy and the Chicago flag colors, which I worked in as bands of blue on the htitle headings on each page.

Chicago Blues All-Stars is an American blues band based in Chicago that incorporates elements of funk, soul, R&B and hip hop. Chicago Blues All-Stars is made up of musicians that have been together as friends and musicians for four decades. The band includes numerous inductees in the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame and has been a headliner for shows such as Buddy Guy’s Legends featured on PBS and at music venues Kingston Mines and House Of Blues. Chicago Blues All-Stars has received radio play on over 200 stations in 22 countries.
The challenge was to make something fresh, beautiful and functional to showcase the band’s members, music and music videos as they rev up to start playing live again. Click on the image to be directed to the site.
A stunning star deserves an equally stunning website. Heavy Metal singer Lana Blac asked for an all black website because, of course, black is her color. The challenge was to offset Lana’s amazing videos and images and entice her audiences to sign up to her mailing list. The full website is coming soon but, in the meantime, watch Lana’s video My Victim, My Love and subscribe!
Update: Lana has put her musical career on hold for personal reasons. In the meantime, please enjoy a preview of her pages. .
A newly completed website for Chicago Slim. Chicago Slim, aka Dr. Daniel Ivankovich, is a Bluesman/DJ/Producer with a magnetic personality and imposing persona. With a 7-foot shadow that looms large on the Chicago skyline, this music veteran is destined to become a legend, if he isn’t one already.
Slim wanted a website for himself as a musician, as well as a website for his band, Chicago Blues All-Stars. The challenge was to create a site that is unique, reflects Slim’s personality and showcases his music and guitar collection. I used red, an unusual choice for backgrounds, punctuated by bronze and grey to set off images and make them pop. All content was SEO optimized.

I created this site for a naprapath, who also specialized in energy medicine.
I dislike the look of factory medicine where large chunks of blue predominate and the whole effort is impersonal.
This particular doctor is very hands on in her practice and I wanted the site to reflect her personalized approach to healing.
