Ten in a Bar: a new website from nothing but a logo

A WordPress website with a gallery and songs to listen to, for a community choir whose old site had disappeared.

01The problem

Starting again with only a logo

The choir had had a website before, but it had gone offline and was never recovered. The only thing left to build on was their logo.

Their hosting package was also old, and needed upgrading before it could run WordPress.

No content, no old site to copy, and a tight budget.

02What we did

A website designed with the choir, step by step

  • Upgraded their hosting so it could run WordPress
  • Asked the choir for the text and images for each page
  • Designed a homepage mock-up first, the way we start most WordPress web design projects, to agree the look and colour scheme before building the rest
  • Built the full site, including a gallery and songs for visitors to listen to, alongside the usual about and contact pages
  • Refined the fonts, spacing and page layouts with the choir until it was exactly how they wanted it

As a non-profit group, the choir couldn’t justify the kind of budget a business would, so we kept the work within what they had agreed to spend.

03The results

A website the choir is happy with

The choir now has a website that shows who they are, with photos and songs that let people hear them before they come to a concert or join. They were very happy with the end result.

Questions about this project

Do you build websites for community groups and non-profits?

Yes. We keep the work within an agreed budget, because we know non-profit groups can’t justify spending the way a business can.

What if we don’t have any content ready?

We’ll tell you exactly what text and images each page needs. For this choir, all we had to start with was a logo.
