I figure I should make some posts on my site. It’s been a month since I updated this site and a lot has happened since then.
I have made WordPress themes for several musical artists. Linked below are the bands and a little bit about them.
Band Websites
Still Stayer
First off, Milwaukee progressive metal act Still Stayer now has a strengthened online presence thanks to yours truly. It was a lot of fun to make, and I think it came out excellent. I find the design to be appropriate manner for their music; atmospheric, vibey and sonically full.
Please check out this wonderful band and their website today!
Faux Psuedo
Another band I helped out is Minnesotan and Rochester-based rock band, Faux Pseudo. They are known for blending classic rock vibes with modern-day rock themes.
They needed a place to call home on the web. You can find their official website and learn more about them below.
BLARE-ng
When I found out a Facebook friend of mine was gearing up to launch a startup – think Spotify, but better payout for artists – I decided to get my hands dirty with making an MVP for him and his startup associates.
I decided to code the frontend using Angular. I had never used Angular before – I took to it quite naturally. It’s a bit heavier than React – which I’m used to – but I still found the developer experience to be better than React while being similar in nature. Me liking this framework is no doubt a product of the more opinionated and encouraged setup for components, pages, and services.
For backend, I felt it was okay to trust C# and the .NET framework. I am quite familiar with this backend architecture due to using it on past projects.
For database, I enlisted MongoDB for it’s ease of use, especially on the frontend. Coupled with Entity, this made for a very easy integration on my application.
The code can be viewed on GitHub here – complete with video demonstrations of the progress made.
Final Remarks
A couple more things for all my readers, who I think will mostly be family and LinkedIn contacts.
Ashbringer
I left one band website out. …Yes, I helped a third band! Years ago, I toured with Ashbringer while I was in Amiensus. They are an immensely talented band. If you love atmospheric black metal, these dudes wont dissapoint, though they call themselves False Black Metal.
Anyways, I made a site for them. I will make another blog post when their site finally comes out. It’s up on a development server for now.
Another Client
As you folks can see, I’ve kept busy with web projects. I’ve found it rewarding to make these sites for people as always.
Anyways, another client has been acquired. I will give you guys one hint about it…making their website is a “blast”!
That’s all I’ll let on. Till then, yours truly
