Susan Horne Comedy

A stand-up comedian who needed more than a Facebook page: one place for event planners to see her work and reach her.

The business

Susan Horne is a Staunton-based stand-up comedian who performs at corporate events, churches, and private parties across the region.

Event planners had no single place to watch her clips, check her schedule, and find out how to book her. She wanted a site that felt as fun as her act, with video that didn't make the page crawl.

What I built

  • A bright, fun design that feels like her act, not a template
  • Video clips that load a preview first and play the moment you tap them
  • A show schedule that sorts itself into upcoming and past shows by date
  • A swipeable photo gallery that works on phones and computers
  • A press kit page with her bio, photos, and booking info for event planners

Now she can share one link that has everything: clips, shows, press kit, and how to reach her.

In her own words

Ryan went over and beyond on my website! He is the best and is always right on it when I need help or something updated. I have given his info to many of my friends! …

For the technical folks

The details your web developer or IT person might ask about. You don't need any of this to work with me.

  • Next.js 16 with React 19 and server rendering.
  • TypeScript data structures for shows, videos, and promo images; the schedule sorts by the current date at build and request time.
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with brand colors as CSS variables and custom animations (sparkle, float, shimmer).
  • react-lite-youtube-embed loads a thumbnail until a clip is played, so multiple videos don't weigh down the page.
  • Security headers: Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Permissions-Policy.
  • No contact form by design: direct contact details avoid spam and upkeep for a solo performer.
  • Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, Vercel.
