Under the hood

Unmistakable up top.
Engineered underneath.

01

Radio-station brand system

An on-air ticker, live equalizer bars and volume/issue/track numbering used as page eyebrows sitewide, carried through as a real design system rather than a one-off homepage gag.

02

Live FM-dial menu widget

A 'now playing' dial widget pulls real strain and THC data from the menu instead of a static graphic, so the concept reflects the actual shelf.

03

Themed age gate

A pre-broadcast door-policy interstitial styled as a record scratch, replacing the generic age-check modal.

04

Nine-town delivery network

A dedicated Delivery Hub feeding per-town pages for Montclair, Glen Ridge, Upper Montclair, Cedar Grove, Bloomfield, Nutley, Verona, West Orange and Clifton.

05

Honest deal-sheet copy

The Deal Sheet page states plainly that pricing carries no inflated sales and no gimmicks, matching the brand's own stated positioning instead of manufactured urgency.

06

Crawlable Dutchie menu, Essex County SEO

A server-rendered shell around the embedded Dutchie storefront, with schema and NAP built for Montclair and the nine towns it serves, mobile-first throughout.
