Hey!
I'm Chris, the founder of Heathen Wolf Media and I'm a self-taught WordPress web designer.
I founded Heathen Wolf Media as a way to provide a straightforward, no-brainer web design and management solution for musicians and artists, primarily within the metal scene.
After having built my own website (www.oscenrad.com) for my solo project, I saw that I could combine my passions for music and web design to start building websites for other bands and musicians in the industry and thus, Heathen Wolf Media came into being as a brand new venture!




As a new business and one-man operation, I’ve built a system based on detail, efficiency and quality, so expect your website to take around 7-14 working days to complete!
Site prices are based on the number of features included as well as the use of the HWM Template, which allows for fast and efficient site builds, saving time and money meaning I can mark up sites at fair prices when compared to similar services.
The basic aesthetics (fonts, colour palette, etc.) of the site design are based on the artist’s latest release artwork and overall aesthetic. This creates a consistent image across multiple platforms and ensures an up-to-date look and feel to the site.
The structure and layout is based on my own custom, modular HWM Template which allows for efficient, manageable and flexible websites that stay true to the artist’s identity.
It’s the very foundation of Heathen Wolf Media.
I created the Template when I was building the website for my solo project oscenrad.com.
I wanted a functional, practical and aesthetic website – not one full of annoying popups and unnecessary bloat but one that had a positive user experience, showcasing my project as well as being enjoyable to use.
After months of research, design and experimentation, I created a design system which offers a consistent level of functionality, aesthetics and user-friendliness.
My design style is primarily based on ’80’s/90’s Black Metal magazines, early cinema (especially horror) film posters from the ’30’s to the ’80’s and the International Typographic Style/Swiss Style of the first half of the 20th Century as well as various other styles. I’ve combined these styles to create my own which I believe works well within the context of web design.
Having an engaging website where you don’t have to rely solely on social media to showcase and highlight your music and artist identity is crucial to an artist’s online presence in the digital age.
On your site you’re free to express yourself and your music as you see fit with no anti-artist algorithms pushing you into digital obscurity!
Your site is your domain to rule!
To promote your music!
An EPK acts as a digital CV/résumé. It’s a convenient way of promoting your music in the digital age.
It’s where promoters, booking agents and media outlets can get a general feel and overview of your music/band by highlighting your gig history, discography, streams as well as anything else relevant to your music and promotion.
Simple – payments are arranged during the initial stages of the project and are made securely by card or bank transfer via Stripe (find out more at stripe.com).
The Monthly Maintenance Service is a mandatory fee taken on a monthly basis as a secure, recurring card payment or Direct Debit via Stripe to pay for the maintenance, security and hosting as well as the general upkeep of your website.
HWM owns the website, tools, technology and design systems used in its build. The domain name and all the content within the website (images, music, etc.) are all owned by the Artist/Client.
All websites come with 2 free revisions, so just send me a message and we’ll work something out!
No worries! There is an Exit Process as outlined in the Contract by which everything is transferred and handed over to the Artist/Client.
To begin the Exit Process, please get in touch at hello@heathenwolfmedia.com.
