Dorian Black: A Neon Launch Site for a Synth-Pop Album

The site had to feel like the record: city lights, late nights, and an after-party mood. It also had to make streaming the album the obvious next step on every page.

Near-black backgrounds, magenta, violet, and blue neon glow, and chrome details set the tone. A retro display face handles headlines, a narrow sans-serif carries body text, and a script accent echoes the album's signature artwork. The colors, type, and components are defined once as reusable design tokens.

• A home page that leads with the album and a direct link to hear it
• A music page driven by one album data file, with cover art, track listing, and runtimes
• Spotify, Apple Music, and social links that appear across the site once each profile is live
• A Spotify player that loads only when a visitor clicks to play
• A contact form and a privacy policy

The site runs on Cloudflare Workers. Pages are static, and a small Worker route handles the contact form. That route checks the request's origin, rate-limits each visitor, verifies Cloudflare Turnstile, and sends the message by email.

• Album and artist structured data, page-specific titles and descriptions, and a custom 404 page
• Self-hosted fonts, so nothing loads from Google before a visitor agrees to analytics
• Opt-in Google Analytics with a cookie banner that never covers page content
• Accessibility fixes for text contrast, link underlines, form errors, track list markup, and mobile menu focus
