One season to launch. Let’s put them online. Websites, digital archives, stores and communities for bands, publishers, festivals and foundations. We bring structure to the content and character to the experience. Your audience finds the next event. Your team publishes it without waiting for a developer. [ Tell us about your project ](#contact) [ See who we have built for ](#portfolio) Selected clients: Elio e le Storie Tese · Heloola · Fondazione Riccardo Catella --- I The challenge I · The challenge ## Your work brings people back. Give them a website worth returning to. An album brings new fans. A book starts a conversation. A new season brings people back to the venue. Meanwhile, pages pile up, archives become harder to search and publishing the next event takes more steps than it should. We build platforms that connect the history with what happens next: search, discover, subscribe, buy, take part. Every project has its own audience. We design the journey that makes them feel they belong. --- II Our work II · Our work ## Bands, foundations and communities of readers 2,000+ pages migrated to Shopify for Elio e le Storie Tese 0.4% → 2% conversion on the Heloola project ### Elio e le Storie Tese A new home for thirty years of content. More than 2,000 pages migrated from two platforms to Shopify, with a members-only area for paid music lessons. ### Heloola The book continues in the community. Skip-month subscriptions and private forums for each book. On this project, conversion moved from 0.4% to 2%. ### Fondazione Riccardo Catella A website for programmes and people. A North-based architecture organising events, activities, supporters and educational projects. ### Foglio A portfolio becomes an experience. A WebGL photography project recognised with an Awwwards Honorable Mention. --- III How we work III · How we work ## Music and publishing: build the relationship around the work Merchandise, subscriptions, lessons, exclusive content and conversations between readers. We build Shopify stores and communities, with Gadget.dev for custom logic. A fan can explore an archive and make a purchase. A reader can receive a book and find the people to discuss it with. The website keeps the connection going around the work you create. ## Festivals and foundations: publish at the pace of your programme [North (opens in a new tab)](https://site.ensoul.works/editorial/our-products-editorial/north-visual-framework/), our visual WordPress framework, gives editors the blocks to build pages, events and features. [Rock (opens in a new tab)](https://site.ensoul.works/editorial/our-products-editorial/rock-multilanguage/), our multilingual plugin, brings that structure into your audience’s languages. The programme is ready: open the editor and publish it. We connect calendars, registrations and ticketing so the journey from interest to participation is clear. ## An archive to explore. An identity to recognise. We organise people, works, dates and documents into searchable journeys. We migrate content and map redirects to maintain continuity between old links and the new website. We also make room for visual expression: photography, illustration, motion and interaction where they serve the project. Accessibility informs the interface from the start, so people can browse archives and find events using a keyboard, a phone or assistive technology. --- IV Projects IV · Projects ## Culture takes many forms Music, reading, photography, public space, linguistic heritage and children’s content. Different experiences that call for curiosity, structure and a voice of their own. ### Elio e le Storie Tese Client since 2025 · Released 2025 [ Read the case study ](https://site.ensoul.works/replatforming-elio-e-le-storie-tese-into-shopify/) [ View site ](https://elioelestorietese.it/) ### Heloola Client since 2023 · Released 2026 [ Read the case study ](https://site.ensoul.works/the-making-of-heloola/) [ View site ](https://heloola.com/) ### Foglio Client since 2024 · Released 2024 [ View site ](https://foglio.eu/) ### Fondazione Riccardo Catella Client since 2023 · Released 2025 [ Read the case study ](https://site.ensoul.works/how-we-redesigned-the-riccardo-catella-foundations-website/) [ View site ](https://fondazionericcardocatella.org/) ### BAM Biblioteca degli Alberi Milano Client since 2017 · Released 2026 [ Read the story ](https://site.ensoul.works/bam/) ### Ferrara Musica Client since 2021 · Released 2026 ### Ghiti Ensoul product since 2021 [ Read the story ](https://site.ensoul.works/ghiti/) [ View site ](https://ghiti.it/it/) Also for: Sony Music · Subsonica · Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli --- V In their words V · In their words ## Working with us **Elio e le Storie Tese** Faso, bass player [ Read the case study ](https://site.ensoul.works/replatforming-elio-e-le-storie-tese-into-shopify/) [ View site ](https://elioelestorietese.it/) **Heloola** Alice and Giada Cancellario, founders [ Read the case study ](https://site.ensoul.works/the-making-of-heloola/) [ View site ](https://heloola.com/) --- VI Questions VI · Questions ## FAQ - ### Can we sell merchandise, memberships and content on the same website? Yes. We build integrated Shopify journeys, as we did for Elio e le Storie Tese and Heloola, choosing features around your community. - ### Can you migrate our archive? Yes. We migrated more than 2,000 pages for Elio e le Storie Tese; we start with your existing sources to organise content, search and redirects. - ### Can our team publish without calling you every time? Yes. On WordPress, North gives editors a block library that reflects the finished page; on Shopify, we build sections and content structures your team can manage. - ### Can you connect ticketing and registrations? Yes. We integrate the tools your project uses and define the journey from event discovery to booking and purchase. - ### Can the website support multiple languages, including minority languages? Yes. We use Rock for multilingual WordPress websites and have built Friulian–Italian projects including Ghiti and the ARLeF Super Dizionari. - ### Do you handle accessibility? Yes. We build it into the project from the start, checking navigation, interface and content against the agreed requirements. --- VII Next step VII · Next step ## What are you launching next? A tour, a season, a community of readers or an archive opening to the public. Tell us what you are working on, who you want to reach and what needs to be ready for launch. **What happens next.** We read your message and reply by email. If the scope still needs defining, we start with a paid discovery phase of two to three weeks, deducted from the project if we go ahead.
