Simplicity Is Key — Website Design for Megan Diana
A Squarespace website for pianist and composer Megan McGeorge — built over a weekend, launched within a week, and designed around a single concept: let the music speak for itself.
A musician's website built on one clear idea — let the music do the talking.
Megan McGeorge and I first crossed paths through Piano. Push. Play. — and when she needed a website to showcase her music releases and projects, she reached out directly. The brief was refreshingly focused: simple, clean, easy to maintain, and built around her photography. Black and white images with a deliberate splash of hot pink. No clutter, no noise — just the music. We had a weekend to land on a concept, build the site, and launch it within the week. That kind of timeline sharpens every decision.
The Problem
A pianist with no digital home — and one week to fix that.
Megan needed a presence online that felt as intentional as her music — somewhere fans, concert goers, and collaborators could find her releases and projects quickly and easily. The challenge wasn't complexity, it was restraint. Keeping the design simple enough to let the content lead, while still feeling polished and professional.
Black, white, and a deliberate splash of pink.
The design concept came together quickly — black and white photography with hot pink as a spot color to emphasize key sections, rules, and important moments. A fully customizable Squarespace template gave us the level of enhancement we needed while keeping the site easy to update independently after handoff. Megan provided the photography, I manipulated the images to fit within the brand color scheme.
Homepage & Site Design
Squarespace Adobe PhotoshopLarge photography, strategic typography, and a clean white background keep the focus entirely on Megan's music. Hot pink appears sparingly — in banner sections, rules, and accent elements — giving the site personality without overwhelming it.

A weekend turnaround and a lesson in keeping scope small.
Working with Megan was a natural collaboration — we had already built a working relationship through Piano. Push. Play., so the communication was easy and the trust was already there. That made the tight timeline manageable. The biggest takeaway from this project was something I've carried forward: when designing on a quick turnaround, the best course of action is to keep the project scope small and focused. Trying to do everything in a weekend leads to a site that feels unfinished. Doing one thing well leads to a site that feels intentional. Megan was ultimately very pleased with the result and continued to use and promote the site alongside her music.
