Custom Squarespace Website for Harmony String Quartet

A custom Squarespace website with A Searchable Repertoire List for Harmony String Quartet

When Harmony String Quartet approached me to improve their custom Squarespace website, they wanted something as polished and elegant as their music. As a Manchester-based group known for blending classical, jazz, and modern hits, they needed a site that not only showcased their talent but also made it easy for wedding guests to request songs during live performances.

One of the standout features I built for them was a custom-coded searchable repertoire list—a unique function that allows guests to find and request their favourite songs quickly.

 

Bringing Their Website to Life with Custom Code

An Elegant, Intuitive Design
I designed a clean, stylish layout that reflects the quartet’s professionalism while maintaining warmth and approachability. Soft tones, striking images, and an intuitive structure ensure visitors get a clear sense of the quality they bring to every event.

Custom-Coded Searchable Repertoire List
One of the most exciting additions was a custom-built song search function. During weddings and events, guests can request songs for the quartet to play. Instead of flipping through a lengthy list, they can now quickly search the online repertoire to see if their song is available—making the experience seamless for both the guests and the musicians.

A Fully Responsive Experience
Since many visitors browse from their phones, I ensured the website works beautifully on all devices. Whether a bride is researching from her desktop or a guest is checking the song list on their phone at a wedding, the experience remains smooth and professional.

Helping Them Get Found on Google
A well-designed website isn’t just about aesthetics—it also needs to be discoverable.

  • SEO-Optimised Content: I integrated key search terms like “string quartet Manchester”, “wedding musicians Manchester”, and “event music UK” to help them rank higher on Google.

  • Blog & Content Strategy: I recommended adding a blog to share behind-the-scenes stories, event tips, and music insights—helping boost their site’s visibility over time.

The custom Squarespace website for Harmony String Quartet now does more than just look good—it actively supports their business. Their brand feels more polished, their online presence is stronger, and the searchable repertoire list has made song requests easier than ever for their clients and guests.

I’m a photographer and Squarespace web designer based in Altrincham, South Manchester. I specialise in portrait, landscape and opera photography and also offer a “complete website package” where I can offer headshots, photos of your business and design your new website so you can manage it yourself afterwards.

Over the years I’ve built a portfolio career as a professional photographer, opera singer, wardrobe assistant and singing teacher. I have a MMus from the RNCM, a Bachelor in Theatre Sciences and Musicology from Ghent University and I’m a qualified teacher. When my son was born in 2021 I quickly realised that an opera career wasn’t as compatible with being a mum as much as I would like, so I decided to change my focus completely to photography and web design.

I prefer working with daylight in casual surroundings while having a chat making sure you’re at ease and relaxed. It’s the little moments in between that make the best shots!
