JD Musick: An Album Website for a Blues and Soul Artist
A launch site for the debut record The Road Still Knows, styled from its cover art.
JD Musick is an electric blues and soul artist whose debut album, The Road Still Knows, was released on September 4, 2026. We designed and built the site to launch the record and handle booking, press, and licensing inquiries.
The goal
The site needed to send visitors to the record quickly, then give them a reason to stay: the story behind each song, who the artist is, and how to get in touch about shows or licensing.
Design
The palette and textures come from the album artwork: blackened wood, wet brick, ember orange, rust, and aged cream. A tall condensed typeface echoes the artist credit on the cover, condensed headlines carry the pages, and a plain sans-serif keeps longer copy easy to read.
What we built
- A home page led by the album artwork, with listening links above the fold
- A music page with all eleven tracks, their runtimes, and a one-line description of each song
- Spotify and Apple Music links throughout the site, plus an embedded Spotify player
- An about page and a contact form for booking, press, licensing, and collaborations
- A custom 404 page and a share image built from the album cover
Behind the scenes
The pages are static and served from Cloudflare's network. The contact form is the site's only server code: a small function that verifies Cloudflare Turnstile, checks the input, and delivers each message by email.
- Music group and album structured data connected across pages
- A content security policy and other security headers that allow only the services the site uses
- Underlined body links and a keyboard-friendly mobile menu
- A privacy policy that matches the fonts, embeds, and form handling the site actually uses
