Whooray Records website launched

I’ve just launched the all-new, redesigned Whooray Records website!

The website acts as an online press kit for Los Angeles based rock musician, Brian Ray. Since it’s aimed at press/PR people rather than fans, the content needed to be a little more formal that his main website, but we wanted to give it a slightly grungy, indie style to reflect Brian’s personality and music style.

Bearing in mind that the website's target audience would mainly be busy media professionals, I kept the design as simple and easy to read as possible. I chose a colour scheme of deep pinks, browns, and ochres which Brian really loved - he said it reminded him of old-style Russian posters and adverts. I used relatively large, well-spaced text and a straightforward navigation menu and included prominent links to Brian's main website and his MySpace page.

The website includes the following features:

Valid XHTML/CSS layout
A modern Web 2.0 style layout with a striking colour scheme
Slimbox photo gallery
Flash mp3 player and streaming audio playlist
A randomly loaded banner on each page, displaying review snippets and quotes about Brian's music.
