Website design for bands: Safehouse is a well-known rock-based function band operating in the northwest and further afield in the UK. The band is self-contained and fully equipped to play in any venue. With a wide musical repertoire Safehouse can tailor material to suit most audiences.
The band began in around 2017 and built up a reputation as one of the northwest’s most entertaining bands. The band went on hiatus during the pandemic and reformed with some new members in late 2021. Feeling like they were ‘starting again’ the band needed a website to re-energise its marketing initiatives to get back on the scene.
While this is a relatively straightforward project, the band needed to attract interest from events managers and venues, as well as providing a destination for the band’s followers. Keeping it simple and accessible, and successfully providing clear and succinct information was key, as well as the site being quick and easy for the band to update themselves.
The website’s design was developed from some rudimentary branding the band already had. We developed the concept which later provided the band with consistent marketing assets for physical flyers and social media. Naturally, the band’s website needed a suitable ‘rock and roll’ appearance.
We also concentrated on what website visitors would need to see the most: who the band is, what they play, what they look like, how they sound, where they are playing, and how to get in touch. Essentially, this is a portfolio website which should be kept simple.
Website design for bands: A single page website with six clear and distinct sections is the result. An ‘about’ section, personnel, the bands repertoire, gallery and video, gig list with map links (used by followers, and some of the band!), and a contact form help website visitors obtain a clear and succinct overview of the band and its capabilities.
From performing around fifteen to twenty shows a year in 2022, the website has helped the band present a much more ‘professional’ image and provides promoters and venues with a detailed source of information about the band. 2026 sees Safehouse with nearly fifty shows booked already.
