A full web platform for Seattle's beloved independent radio station — serving a local community of music lovers and a global audience of listeners who tune in from everywhere. Design, development, and content strategy by Tag.
KEXP is more than a radio station — it's a cultural institution. The platform needed to serve live audio, rich editorial content, event listings, and donation workflows while feeling like the music community it represents. Heavy content, real-time streaming, and a brand that's deeply personal to its audience.
Real-time streaming infrastructure that handles concurrent listeners at scale. Seamless transitions between live broadcast and on-demand content without buffering or interruption.
Editorial content, playlists, artist profiles, event calendars, and podcast archives — all organized through an information architecture that makes a massive content library feel navigable.
The design language reflects KEXP's identity: independent, passionate, and rooted in Seattle's music culture. Not a corporate media template — a platform that feels like the community it serves.
Integrated donation flows and membership management that support KEXP's listener-funded model. Frictionless giving that respects the relationship between the station and its community.
We build platforms for organizations that need more than a template — cultural institutions, media companies, and communities that deserve a digital presence as good as their mission.
