The situation
The Good Behaviours are a five-piece banjo chamber-folk band. Their old site was built by someone else on a site builder, sitting on paid shared hosting. Nothing was wrong with it exactly, but it was costing them money every month for a handful of pages.
What I did
I built a private mock-up first, from what was already public about them, and showed it to the band. They said yes the next day, and it went live on their own accounts: the site runs on Cloudflare under the band's login, and the code lives in a GitHub account in the band's name. Everything is theirs, not mine.
The band edit it themselves in the browser: shows, records in whatever order they like, videos by pasting a YouTube link, press quotes, and photos that are shrunk automatically on upload.
A few things a site builder wouldn't give them: a music player that streams their own recordings rather than sending people off to another platform, with a private page showing what gets played; a booking form with spam protection; and a mailing list with a news archive, run on Currawong, my newsletter service. Every old page address redirects to its new home, and their email moved across too.
How it turned out
Live since 25 September 2026. The running cost is now the domain name, about A$22 a year, against an estimated A$262 a year before (that estimate is from the old host's published prices, not the band's bills).
