Manhattan Music — WordPress Website Design & Development

Project Overview

Manhattan Music is a well-established music school based in Eltham North, Melbourne's Northern Suburbs, with over 20 years of experience teaching students of all ages. They approached WebSolved needing a fresh, modern website that reflected the energy and professionalism of their school, one that could attract new students across Melbourne's Northern Suburbs and clearly communicate everything they offer.

The Challenge

The existing online presence wasn't doing justice to what Manhattan Music had built over two decades. They needed a site that was fast, mobile-friendly, and easy for both new visitors and existing students to navigate. With a wide range of instrument lessons on offer; from guitar and drums to violin and singing — the site needed clear structure, strong calls to action, and a design that felt welcoming to students of all ages, from young children to adults.

Our Approach

We built the new Manhattan Music website on WordPress, giving the team a platform they can manage themselves with ease. The design focused on warmth, clarity, and conversion; making it simple for prospective students to find the lessons they're interested in and get in touch or book a trial lesson. Individual landing pages were created for each instrument, helping with both user experience and local SEO across Melbourne's Northern Suburbs.

Key features included a clean, responsive layout optimised for all devices, individual service pages for each instrument offered, an integrated booking and enquiry system, Google Maps integration, and on-page SEO to drive local search visibility.

Results

The new site gave Manhattan Music a professional digital home that matches the quality of what they deliver in person. If you're looking for music lessons in Melbourne's Northern Suburbs, and we can personally recommend guitar lessons at Manhattan Music their team of AMEB, Rockschool, and ANZCA accredited teachers is genuinely outstanding. The school has been serving the community since 2004 and the results speak for themselves, with a 5 star rating across over 300 Google reviews.
