Soul Funk Secret have been our clients for over 10 years and we love working with Marco and his band. The focus of our brief was the evolve the much liked look of the site into a fresh, new design which integrated the promotion as well as the sale of their new single.

Online promotion for bespoke services

Small & beautiful - when your site needs that little extra touch

Project brief:

Over the years, the band had been busy, gigging, writing and recording – and had now outgrown the once fitting site. We worked with the band to revise the content structure and created a better backend for site admin, making updates easier. The new design now reflects the current line-up and direction.

What our client said:

Ten years ago, I had my first website and logo designed and set up by Prisca. She was a freelance web designer who had been highly recommended to me. I wanted a funky 70s look – something very eye catching – that would impress potential clients. The final website was fantastic, and the logo Prisca designed is now recognised in the industry.

Between then and now, Prisca set up her own web design company so when the time came to update our site, we of course asked eyedea studio to do the work. With the refresh of the site, there is no doubt that it is the winning tool of our business. Everything has been set up to make it easy for us to change photos, add news and generally update content as and when necessary. The site is so well constructed!!

I have been relying on Prisca for our design work for 10 years now, and she and her team have never failed us. They contribute to our growth, as a band and a business. Thanks to the Soul Funk Secret website, I have the opportunity to broadcast my music in a very stylish and elegant way.
