Band & Artist Website Portfolio | Modern English Digital

A monumental undertaking: a digital hub for all Rolling Stones material, begun in August 2020 and gathering momentum ever since. A sophisticated custom CMS aims to make this the largest online music archive ever created.

The site displays well-crafted content with some clever componentry — auto-generating text blocks that appear as notebook pages and torn-off paper. The CMS lets an editor set components and spacing as a percentage of the screen, allowing content to overlap. All of it feeds the rock ’n’ roll scrapbook aesthetic.

A custom intro sequence pulls you straight into the product, original in-house illustration expands the Punk Bunny mascot, and a purchase modal lets people swap product types without leaving the page. We loved working on this one.

Built on a design system so each component could be re-skinned for another Battersea sub-brand — the first being Glide, the annual ice rink in front of the power station.
