Project Name: The Casual Kings Official Web Site
Project Timeline: July, 2011 - August, 2011
Project Status: Completed
Concept: Having been a long-time fan of The Casual Kings I felt extremely proud when Rhett, Mike and the guys asked me to work on a new Web Site for the band. When it comes to creative freedom, these guys really know how to let it all hang out. I was essentially encouraged to do what I felt with only a few restrictions to consider. Colors were specified as was the idea of integrating a show calendar along with an audio player. Beyond that, I was allowed to go with my gut. The overall design of the new Site shows off the bold yet relaxed tones of The Casual Kings while hinting slightly to the hardcore urban alt rock sound we've all grown to crave. Social networking integration was a must due to the huge fan-following already in place at Sites like Facebook, Reverbnation, Bandcamp, etc. The new Bustin' Thru' EP released in early 2011 was something we needed to promote througout the Site as well. When completed, TheCasualKings.com opened it's Internet doors to a flood of fans who have since made it their daily pit-stop for everything and anything The Casual Kings.
