Building a Website for Professional Saxophonist David Brandom
David Brandom is a seasoned saxophonist, composer, and arranger who has built a career performing and recording with some of the biggest names in the music industry.
Having toured with Frank Sinatra and collaborated with artists such as Paul Anka, Tony Bennett, Randy Brecker, Natalie Cole, and Sammy Davis Jr., David needed a professional online presence that reflected his experience and made it easy for people to explore his work.
Designing a Single Page Website for Music Promotion and Engagement
Referred by a trusted collaborator, David reached out looking for a clean, simple website where he could showcase his music, videos, and provide a way for potential clients or collaborators to get in touch.
To keep the experience focused and easy to navigate, I developed a single-page WordPress website designed specifically for artist promotion.
The layout includes:
- Dedicated sections for music, video, and contact
- Smooth scrolling navigation between sections
- A clean, distraction-free design that keeps the focus on the content
Creating a Custom Audio Player Experience Using WordPress Blocks
One of the key features of the site is an audio showcase that allows visitors to listen to David’s work directly on the page.
To accomplish this, I built a custom slider using WordPress Audio Blocks, creating an interactive experience where users can:
- Browse multiple tracks
- Play audio seamlessly without leaving the page
- Engage with David’s music in a simple, user-friendly format
This approach keeps the site lightweight while still delivering a strong media experience.
Building a Scalable Platform for Future Content and Growth
While the current website is streamlined, it was built with future expansion in mind. The WordPress foundation allows David to easily grow the site over time, including:
- Posting upcoming tour dates
- Adding blog content or news updates
- Expanding his music and video library
This ensures the site can evolve alongside his career without needing a full rebuild.
Providing a Simple, Professional Online Presence for Artists
This project highlights how a focused, well-designed website can effectively support a personal brand. By combining clean design with accessible media features, David Brandom now has a platform that showcases his work and provides a direct connection point for opportunities.
