The Problem: A client’s existing portfolio was built on a dated, non-responsive framework that failed to communicate professionally, and lacked a clear call to action resulting in zero new bookings.

The Fix: Redesigned the digital experience from the ground up, establishing a mobile-first design system in Figma and migrating to a high-performance Squarespace architecture.

The Result: Transformation drove an immediate increase in professional inquiries and new client bookings within the first month of launch.

Quick Summary

Role: Product & UX Designer

Timeline: ~6 weeks

Context: Client-facing marketing site, booking-focused redesign

The Strategy

Pivoting to Drive Conversion

The original website served only as a passive directory that offered basic contact info and a simple link to a YouTube channel. This provided little professional legitimacy for high-value bookings.

I reframed the digital strategy to prioritize active conversion. By showcasing band arrangements, song setlists, and high-fidelity galleries in a mobile-responsive environment, we moved the value proposition from "watch a video" to "book now."

By placing the primary Call to Action (CTA) front and center, we a revenue stream that was previously nonexistent.

A digital diagram outlining three sections: 'Legacy: Passive' with a description of simple links and static contact details; 'Pivot: Professionalism' with a description of showcasing arrangements and deep work history; 'Solution: Active' with a description of a mobile-first UI and centered CTAs for lead generation.

Key decisions included:

  • Treating each band configuration as a distinct offering

  • Designing a mobile-first grid to surface examples quickly

  • Separating booking-focused content from deeper exploration

  • Making the setlist easy to update without site maintenance

The Outcome

Client Confidence

The final product was more than a cosmetic update; it was a psychological shift. By providing a platform that resonated with the client’s talent level we established a new baseline for professional legitimacy.

This high-fidelity environment gave the client the confidence to aggressively pursue new industry partnerships. The "systems-first" approach removed the hesitation previously caused by a fragmented digital presence, leading to a direct increase in professional stature and a sustained growth trajectory.
