Benjy Davis Project, a rock band based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana asked Plaine Studios to design a website that would help them attract new fans on a national level.
Benjy Davis Project, a rock band based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana has been touring and recording since 2002. Wildly popular in the college scene, this band was set to release their fourth album, "Dust", when they called upon Plaine Studios to help them create a website that would allow them to compete on a national stage and garner a wider audience.
Plaine Studios listened to Benjy Davis Project's request to have the site be very visually appealing, clean and with subtle accents that would attract a new audience and appeal to their existing fan base. The band asked Plaine Studios to translate the theme of their latest album into a website that would give them a cohesive look as they embark on this new portion of their career.
Plaine Studios delivered a site that was based around Flash elements alongside traditional HTML/CSS and PHP. The site features a content management system that allows band management to easily add tour dates to the calendar, update their news as well as add and edit photo galleries. The calendar features rollovers allowing visitors to view details of a performance without having to click to a separate page. Plaine Studios set up a photo gallery management tool which allows the band to add photos and create new albums dynamically. Photos are uploaded from a digital camera to the site, automatically resized and formatted appropriately and instantly appear on the website, allowing for instant photo updates after performances. The site features a Flash-based navigation and Flash-based audio players that allow fans to sample every song released by Benjy Davis Project. Users can also purchase the albums online through the band's store or by download via iTunes.
Plaine Studios delivered a website to Benjy Davis Project that is not only highly interactive and visually appealing but also easy for the band to maintain.
