Something Elfse

Bringing a Folk Band Online

Overview

Albin and Kaya’s content was scattered, so I created a central user-friendly website for their music, story, and releases. The project involved brand refinement, album artwork, responsive design, and a simplified CMS.

Concept

Curated experience

Inspired by the band’s music, I created a softer, handcrafted aesthetic with muted tones and organic textures, like an album sleeve. I also designed consistent music thumbnails and artwork for Spotify and YouTube, giving it a recognisable visual identity.

Making CMS effortless

As the band lacked technical expertise, content management became vital alongside front-end design. I created a custom Decap CMS workflow for easy updates without coding, simplifying the interface to suit their content thinking.
