Project Execution

The Raíces Calentanas project was developed using Craft CMS as the foundation to manage and organize sheet music, along with SCSS and JavaScript to create an attractive and dynamic design.

The first stage involved collecting and digitizing sheet music from the regional music of Tierra Caliente, working closely with local musicians and cultural experts. These scores were integrated into the Craft CMS content management system, facilitating their administration and accessibility.

On the visual side, a modern and responsive interface was designed that reflects the cultural essence of the project, using SCSS to customize styles and ensure a consistent user experience. JavaScript was employed to add dynamic interactions, such as sheet music previews and an efficient search tool that allows users to quickly explore the catalog.

The focus on performance optimization and accessibility ensured that the site functions across a wide range of devices, providing a seamless experience for both musicians and enthusiasts.

This approach enabled the launch of a robust and scalable platform that preserves and shares the musical heritage of Tierra Caliente, making regional music accessible to everyone.
