John McKeown Website

John McKeown’s online presence required an overhaul to prepare for the release of his official debut album. The brief for the new website was to keep it simple, strong and bold. With the existing content in place, I developed a new custom WordPress theme based around the new press pictures.

The site uses a few custom plugins and widgets. I developed a simple facebook fan box widget that can be configured from the WordPress dashboard making it simple to change the widget size and number of fans displayed.

The “listen” page uses an adapted version of the Tierra Audio Playlist Manager plugin, making it easy to add and edit the playlist.

Adding new live shows is made easier by integrating data from artistdata.com. Artistdata submits event information to numerous sites, including the official John McKeown website.

The new site is configured to display correctly across browsers and monitor sizes. The background image even resizes dynamically to fit larger monitors (see this screenshot of the site on a 27inch iMac).
