The Penelopes

The Penelopes needed a bold new site to coincide with the release of their second album. We designed a fully content-managed site, complete with a releases section, international gig listings and a full screen splash page.

The design was inspired by the simple, powerful illustrations created for their album artwork which feature as the main header of the site.

Highlights

The Penelopes' site is integrated with lots of online services (including Twitter, YouTube and SoundCloud) that pull in their content from around the web.

We also integrated an 'email for media' system and Facebook commenting across the site to help engage fans and increase their social following.

Like any artist, music and video are a big part of The Penelopes online presence. We integrated the following sections into our content management system to allow them to be easily updated:

  • Releases, complete with SoundCloud integration
  • International gig listings
  • Media galleries (video and photos)
