Sonoran Brass Goes Live
The new Sonoran Brass web site.
An introductory 30-second video:
Based in Phoenix, the Sonoran Brass Quintet has been around for over a decade and recently they decided to redesign their web site – I was glad to help. After several months of work, their site is now live.
As the developer for this project, I am particularly proud of the interactive “micro-site” on the main page. It is a new addition since the original post a few weeks ago announcing the SBQ site in development. This micro-site incorporates animations and an interactive MP3 player – the amount of programming in such a small space was quite a challenge.
Shamelessly patting myself on the back, I feel that this is some of my best work yet.
