NZ Musician Website Redevelopment
Richard Thorne | Music
Overview
NZ Musician is about to embark on its most important re-invention yet - the development of an exciting future online presence along with an easily accessible archive of the magazine's past. This is a big project for a FREE local music magazine, daunting but truly exciting in the possibilities it will open up.
OUR HISTORY
Our website www.nzmusician.co.nz first went online in the mid 1990s and there have been several iterations of our popular website in the two decades since. With the last major site build we uploaded most of NZM's artist features and wider industry news dating back to 2000, a huge and ever-growing archive that provides an invaluable narrative for anyone researching any aspect of our local popular music industry.
After close on three decades in print, and two decades online, we plan to completely re-shape, re-design and re-invent www.nzmusician.co.nz in a way that will propel it (and NZ Musician) into the future. We're hugely excited to get on with it but we really need your help�
JOIN US FOR THE FUTURE
We're hoping that between NZM's regular readers, the many bands and artists who've enjoyed coverage in the magazine and website, the record labels, managers, publicists, researchers, publishers, instrument retailers, studios - and all the others who enjoy and make use of nzmusician.co.nz - we can crowdfund a fantastic new site, and look forward to many more years providing local musicians with a meaningful hand up.
A NEW WEBSITE
With the freedom and flexibility of our planned new website NZM is heading to an online presence that will provide an enhanced, responsive version of the support for budding and established local musicians it always has. Information, artist features, industry news, interviews, reviews, opinions, music, videos, education, tools, directories, podcasts, apps, blogs, discussions, playlists�
THE TARGET
It's going to cost upwards of $20,000 to achieve the kind of presentation and future-proofed archive that we aspire to for all that good stuff. Our Boosted crowdfunding goal is just $10,000.
We have plenty of ideas on how to make NZ music shine brighter online! Right now we just need your help to work on it together�
