The Project
A career of this scale didn’t need a complex or flashy website. It needed clarity, restraint, and intention.
A career of this scale didn’t need a complex or flashy website. It needed clarity, restraint, and intention.
I designed and built a website that features a compilation of theater music, a slideshow from Broadway shows and a news ticker with Yeston’s career highlights.

Design & Build
I designed and built a streamlined website that puts the work first.
The visual system is deliberately understated, allowing typography, structure, and spacing to create hierarchy and rhythm. Navigation was simplified to help visitors quickly explore productions, credits, and background without friction. From a technical standpoint, the site was fully custom-built with a flexible CMS, giving the client the ability to update and manage content over time without compromising the design. The result is a site that feels enduring, easy to maintain, and appropriate for the stature of its subject.

From the client…
Wow! My website could not have been planned or designed better. It's remarkable that it's been adaptable to the expansion of projects, shows, publishings, recordings, and news over all these years... yet it's user-friendly enough for a non techie like me to add and edit content with ease.
