Communion has roots as a London club-night founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Kevin Jones (Cherbourg) and producer Ian Grimble.

The website was designed by Franz Jeitz of Fudgegraphics, who has worked on the Communion brand identity for well over a year.

My task was to convert the Photoshop design into a working WordPress theme. Once the design was in place I enhanced the site with a custom plugin to display the event flyers. The live page and next shows widget are controlled by a php script that ensures the flyers are automatically displayed as upcoming or past shows.

The label’s mailing list is managed through phplist and an iframe widget to allow signups without leaving the current page.

To promote the release of “Communion”, a compilation of nu-folk talent, I integrated a streaming flash player to be placed on the artists page. The mp3 player is modelled on the album artwork rather than using a generic flash player.
