I am pleased to announce that my latest client EON Records is now live with a brand new website. EON Records is a Portland, OR based label owned by John and Tommy Thayer (Tommy is the lead guitarist in KISS). Their roster includes releases by Black ‘N Blue, Dan Reed, John Thayer, 28IF and their latest sensation Nicole DeCosta.

I had built EON Records a website back in 2007, it looked nice but was a static website. They reached out to me that they need to update the site with some changes and new releases and I took this opportunity to discuss with them about moving the site into a CMS such as WordPress. My challenge was the team at EON Records is not skilled in web development, so I wanted to build something that would be fairly easy for them to update. Something they could maintain moving forward, something that would have ties into social networks, better SEO, a mobile ready site, easier support for audio and video and the ability to change the look and feel without a complete rebuild. They agreed it was time, so in late November we began the transition.

The John Thayer Band has a major performance coming up on December 18th so they needed the site launched on the 12th so they could do some promotion. With some push over the weekend we made it. There is still some tweaking to do, but they have a new site that now also links into their new launched Facebook Page and Twitter account.

The end result is a nice, clean site built on WordPress using a theme that does a good job showcasing each of their artists and they can update with zero coding required. They have plenty of room to grow as new artists are added and existing artists continue to record and perform live. I also configured the site so a single update to the website will also update their Facebook Page and Twitter account. Low maintenance, yet hooks to other networks for increased exposure, SEO and traffic.
