Spotlight Cleveland is a newly restored corner bar and live music venue on Cleveland's west side. The site had to do two jobs at once: convince someone scrolling on their phone that this is a place worth going to, and answer the practical question of what's on this week.
I designed and built it custom rather than from a template, because the venue's identity is the room — dim, warm, loud. The whole visual language comes from that. Stage-light beams wash across the hero image. An equalizer motif marks the live indicator. Waveform dividers separate sections. A marquee ticker runs along the bottom carrying the weekly lineup — comedy open mic Tuesdays, jam night Wednesdays, bluegrass and jazz on rotating Thursdays — so the schedule is visible before anyone clicks anything.
