Web development: WipeOut Music

A local music publisher has contacted us for help in updating their website. If interested, please contact John Esplen at the email address below.

We need someone to help create a more modern/well designed website. www.wipeoutmusic.com is our current site and as you can see it’s a bit… outdated to say the least. This person could come to our office in Byker to work on the site, or simply work on it from home.

The length wouldn’t be set in stone, just until the site is finished. But if they wanted to stay on for some maintenance work on the site afterwards they’d be welcome to. Start date on this work would be asap. The work would be paid at
minimum wage.

The SEO work on the site will be remotely project-managed by a friend of the business Max Brockbank who is one of the UK’s leading SEO experts (Hilton Hotels, Lastminute.com, Regus etc.), so it’ll be a great opportunity to someone to advance
their expertise in that field.

We have a second site that’s used for a Record Label that is ran in conjunction with the main business. If the person does some great work on our main site we’d be happy to pay for any extra site work done on the label side of things.

Hope this is adequate information and someone would be eager to have a go at creating a live website used by a local business in a real working environment. I think it could be really good experience for the right person!

I can be contacted on:  john@wipeoutmusic.com
