NIGHTCITY MEDIA

A record label and a web design studio, run by one small team.

We release music and artwork, and we design and build distinctive websites for independent brands. Based in Porthcawl, Wales, working worldwide.

02Design studio

SEPHYR DESIGN

Distinctive websites for independent brands.

The SEPHYR DESIGN homepage: “Distinctive websites for independent brands.” beside a lime and cream crescent.

An independent studio that designs and builds every site by hand, from the first conversation to launch, and looks after it once it’s live. Design and build happen in the same room, so nothing is lost between how a site looks and how it works. Its work includes Birds of Praa, Ship Ashore, Els-y-Môr and this website.

For independent brands

  • Single-page websites
  • Custom web development
  • Ongoing care
  • Interactive experiences

Why music and websites?

It started with the music. Putting out records meant making the artwork, the visuals and the label’s own website, and building that site is what grew into our web design studio, SEPHYR DESIGN.

One small team runs both. The attention to presentation that a release needs is the same attention we give to every website.
