Overview
Wendy Elizabeth Jones is a Texas singer-songwriter whose music runs through roots, Americana, country, folk, blues and rock & roll. Her website was built in 2019, and it no longer matched the artist she is today. Fans needed an easy way to find her next show and hear her music, and the old site made both hard.
Good Code Studio redesigned the site from the ground up and built it on a custom WordPress block theme, so Wendy can update shows, songs and videos herself.
Design Approach
The brief was “hip, but a little Americana, a little honky-tonk Texas.” The design leans into that:
- A photo-led hero with Wendy and her Gibson front and center
- A refreshed script logo and a black, white and teal palette
- Bold, square buttons that put “Show Dates” and her latest single one click away
- Western touches in the type without tipping into costume
Custom Blocks
We built a small set of custom blocks so the site runs itself:
- An Upcoming Shows block that reads Wendy’s Google Calendar, so adding a gig to her calendar puts it on the site
- Ticket buttons that appear when a show has a ticket link
- A contact and booking form with spam protection
- Music and video sections with links to stream or buy
Built to Last
The new site is faster, mobile-friendly and easier to maintain. Old page addresses redirect to their new homes, so links from past press and posters still work. Need a site that lets you update things yourself? See our WordPress design services or get in touch.
