Popayan International Music Festival, a renowned cultural event based in Colombia, approached Red Spot Design with a challenge – to breathe new life into their outdated WordPress website. The client sought a fresh, modern design while retaining the convenience of the WordPress Content Management System (CMS).
Gathering Insights
To kickstart the project, we embarked on a journey of information gathering. Understanding the client’s vision and requirements was pivotal in crafting a website that truly reflected the essence of the Popayan International Music Festival. Our first step was to analyze the existing website, which the client described as “clunky.” This initial assessment served as a baseline to identify areas that needed improvement.

Design Evolution
With a clear understanding of the project’s scope, we initiated the creative process by developing a pair of homepage web design demo designs. These demos were instrumental in presenting the client with tangible concepts for the new website’s look and feel. We then engaged in a collaborative process of refining and tweaking the designs until we achieved a result that perfectly aligned with the client’s vision.
Once the homepage design was approved, our journey continued into the realm of subpages. We understood the importance of consistency throughout the website, and thus, we diligently crafted several subpage demos. Each subpage was meticulously designed to seamlessly integrate with the overarching theme, ensuring a harmonious user experience across the entire website.
Bringing It All Together
With the client’s approval of the subpage demos, the next phase of our endeavor began – the development of the working website. This marked the transition from design concepts to functional web pages. Our team of skilled developers worked tirelessly to transform the approved designs into a fully operational website, breathing life into the project.
