Problem

Create a distinctive band website that feels expressive and immersive while keeping essential content easy to find and navigate.

  • Translate the band’s identity into a coherent digital experience rather than a generic music template.
  • Balance large imagery and editorial typography with clear navigation and content hierarchy.
  • Structure the MVP so real band information can evolve while future features remain secondary.
04

Ownership and scope

I independently shaped the product direction, UX/UI, visual system, and functional MVP.

  • Defined the initial product idea and prioritised the MVP content and navigation.
  • Designed the visual direction, page hierarchy, responsive layouts, and interaction patterns.
  • Built the working MVP through a vibe-coding workflow and connected it to Supabase.
  • Scoped membership and payment concepts as possible future features rather than current functionality.

Key design decisions

Visual identity first

IDENTITY · NAVIGATION

Use large imagery and editorial typography to express the band’s character while keeping navigation direct and readable.

Core content first

MVP · CONTENT

Prioritise the band story, members, and events as the core MVP experience before adding secondary functionality.

Future features later

FUTURE · SCOPE

Keep membership and payments outside the main flow until they become validated needs.

Experience structure

The MVP organises identity, core band content, and future scope into a simple experience structure.

Identity

Imagery, typography, and composition establish the band’s visual character.

02

Core content

Constraints and trade-offs

Expressive identity, clear navigation

The visual direction needs to feel distinctive without making essential content harder to find.

Working MVP, evolving scope

Real band content is still evolving, while membership and payment concepts remain outside the current release.
