An Interactive Site for a Working Composer
De Santis Music is a composer and educator with music on BBC One, ITV and Sky. He needed one site to do two jobs, present the artist and sell the teaching, and to feel genuinely made rather than templated. BYLT designed and built an advanced, fully bilingual site with custom audio tools you can play in the browser, video heroes and a full light and dark theme.
>>StatusTARGETS HIT
>A composer with serious credits needed a site that matched them and did two things at once: present the artist and sell the teaching to schools, students and the industry. An off-the-shelf template would have flattened the craft, so the brief was a site that feels made, interactive and bilingual.
>>A bespoke, interactive, bilingual site that matches a working composer's credits and carries both the artist and the teaching business.
The methodology.
Total duration · LiveInteractive by Design
Custom in-browser audio tools, a step-sequencer drum machine, a chord player and a scene-scoring tool, so visitors play rather than just read. The kind of interaction an off-the-shelf template cannot do.
One Site, Two Jobs
An artist portfolio and a teaching business under one roof, across schools, private students and industry mentoring, each audience given a clear, distinct path through the site.
Bilingual and Built to Be Found
A fully bilingual English and Italian site with correct hreflang and structured data for the person, the courses and the video work, so the right people and search engines find it.

>The music production page: a playable step-sequencer drum machine, so a visitor makes a beat in the browser.
>The sync and media composition page: a scene-scoring tool that lets you score a clip, showing the work in action.
>The about page: the artist story and credits, from BBC and ITV to the Super Bowl, told with real weight.
>The homepage on mobile: the full-bleed video hero and cinematic feel carried intact onto a phone.
