Sandvox Website Profile: “Basic Chant”

To build “Basic Chant” for Frog Music Press, Noel Jones chose Sandvox. He chose the “Blueball Minimal Colors Green” design for the site. People may want to visit the site if they are looking for Gregorian Chant.

Basic Chant

snapshot of home page

Describe your website.

Instruction manuals for people wanting to learn to read Gregorian Chant notations (notes), sing the rhythms and sight-read (sing without prior study) the melodies using Do, Re, Mi and so on.

Solfeggio, Do, Re, Mi...were created to chant and ended up in The Sound Of Music centuries later. Cool, eh?

These are clear, simple books to get people started.

They are now available on Amazon and have just been accepted b a major distributor to College and Music Libraries.

Who is the target audience for your website?

Catholics, Choirs, Scholas, music students and professors, from third grade on up.

What is the advantage of your website over others?

There are excellent chant books out there but this is the only one designed purely for beginners. This book appeals to trained musicians, but reading music is not required to read this book and begin to become a proficient singer of chant.

Tell us a story about this website.

The site is reaching people all over the world. At a recent chant conference sales rose in the weeks before it and then dropped as the conference began. Since the most popular book I had then had BEGINNER'S on the cover, it was never seen in anyone's hand, but we are sure that it was consulted nightly back in dorm rooms. The clean design and ease of following links has made this site profitable for us.

And we have added a book that is not titled BEGINNER's!

Why did you use this Sandvox design?

I'm using MINIMAL COLORS.

I run 30 sites, and I find that people prefer to have the site redesigned periodically, so I change them as they become available.
