A one-page artist site for a voice-led songwriter and producer. Quiet, dark, intentional - built to last past the next release cycle.
Claire Littley is a songwriter and producer working in voice-led pop. Her existing online presence ran on Bandzoogle - a generic platform that flattened the work into template scaffolding.
She wanted a site that would feel authored. Not a release campaign, not a portfolio, not a feed. A first impression she owned, on a domain she controlled, that read as the artist before it read as a product.
The site opens to a portrait that drifts in slowly, then settles into a wordmark in italic Baskerville. Below it, two short passages - anchored left, then right - introduce the work without selling it.
The recordings sit in a quiet vertical list. Title, label, listen. The active track expands in place; the rest stay still. No carousels, no covers, no third-party embeds. The audio plays directly off the page.
No framework, no CMS. The site is one HTML file under 35KB, hosted on Vercel from a private GitHub repo. The domain is registered with 123-reg and pointed at Vercel's edge network.
Five layers, each independent: domain, DNS, source, deploy, audio assets. Anything can be moved without breaking the rest. The whole stack is the artist's, not a platform's.

Studio note · 2026
The site is live. It can be edited in minutes, deployed in seconds, and will still work in five years. The work reads as the artist, on her own terms.
