Established in 1988, Rivanna Music strives to help all children develop strong minds through music. Music therapist Cathy Bollinger infuses this multisensory effect into her songs. Cathy has written the songs to be so much fun, kids don’t even realize they are learning. We hear that parents like her music as well as their little ones do!

This project encompassed both a redesign and a technology upgrade. We also focused on the purpose and goals the company wanted in their web presence.
The old site looked like it was a site for kids. Children are the end users, but it is the parents, teachers, and therapists who purchase the CDs.
The new site is definitely geared towards a adults, and has a friendly, accessible look and feel. The order process is much more straightforward, and we did our best to condense a lot of content into a compact space.
We also put this site into a proper content management system, so it is very easy for the folks at Rivanna Music to maintain it in-house going forward.
Here is what they wrote:
In trying to upgrade Rivanna Music’s website, we got a recommendation for drw Design. We weren’t really sure what we wanted and so were unsure whether our attempts at communicating our needs would be translated correctly into a website.
Our fears were put to rest in working with Debra Weiss and drw Design. She made the process pain-free and led us through the steps to setting up our beautiful new website. She even added creative touches, such as a “jukebox” to play our soundclips.
When visitors come to the new website, they are amazed at how clear and professional-looking the site is and how easy it is to maneuver and to order the products. And after all, isn't that the point?
