Chicago Music Tours leads rock fans on bus rides to the clubs and hot spots that made Chicago's punk rock scene famous. The tours are hosted by Phil Rockrohr, rock raconteur and Chicago music scene fixture, who chose Mark Royko and Associates to build this site.
With an ever-changing assortment of tour dates and sign up options, the site had to meet some very specific challenges: It has to tells visitors about upcoming dates; automatically refresh the list of tours; generate new sales buttons linking directly to Event Brite (a third-party event registration system); and constantly entice visitors to sign up for new events. And because CMT is a small business, the final requirement was that the site be as automated and easy to maintain as possible.
The solution was created using the Drupal content management system, which allows Phil to manage all site content, including time-sensitive tour information, tour reviews and new promotional events.
This site was designed by Mark Royko, with art by Kent Smith.
