The Cheap Dates Website

Shameless band plug. This is a design I did for my band The Cheap Dates. It works well for us as a tool for booking weddings and private parties.

I wanted to make a clean looking band site. I’ve seen so many dark themed designs for bands, which is cool, but doesn’t convey a sense of trust to me that I feel when I see designs on white. We want to cater to higher end clients. In order to do so, I needed our to site to appear clean, organized and easy to read and navigate.  We did our photo shoot on white as well to buck the trend of a typical band photo usually shot in an urban environment or at a gig.

We had fun on the shoot. We brought some different outfits, brought a 6pk of Guiness to hydrate and loosen up. I can’t relax and take a good photo because I’m a spaz, so the Guiness helped. I asked Simon to truck in a bail of hay (his family has a horse and a pony, so he had plenty of hay) and we set up some gear to pose with and BAM we got some fun shots.
