Quantifying Delight

Winning design industry contests is nice, but winning a contest that you didn’t even enter is even better.

So I was delighted to receive an email from a client with the news that her site had won the Featured Site spot in a newsletter that goes out to music centers in 40 countries, and that she’d won a free set of materials for her music classes.

Even better, sales have tripled over the last 4 months since the site’s launch. Based on the many unsolicited compliments she’s received from clients and colleagues, she attributes much of this success to her branding and website. Who says you can’t measure ‘delight’?

The best websites are sometimes launched by brand new centers. Chickadee Music, newly hatched in 2015, was founded by Director Amanda Wild. Her center is in Montreal, Canada. We love her colors, fonts, and logo and her clean design and architecture. Also, notice how she embedded her center’s Facebook feed onto her site. She also has a blog.
