Classic Pianos
Overview
Classic Pianos needed a website to capture their acclaimed history.
In addition to being a heavily-awarded, fourth-generation piano store, Classic Pianos is an iconic local brand that has extended its reach to include seven stores across the U.S., all operated from the company’s 30,000 sq. ft. showroom in Portland. At each location, Classic Pianos conducts business with the same integrity and passion that has made the flagship location so successful, and with a customer-first philosophy that matches its dedication to making the world’s best piano brands accessible to all.
What an honor it was, then, to be selected as a marketing partner by a client with such reach and discerning tastes! And though Classic Pianos initially came to us seeking a full-service web development partner, our relationship has deepened, and Stellaractive continues to play a pivotal role in the company’s growing success.

Discovery
We started the process with an in-depth research phase to learn about the company, its products, and its customers. By conducting workshops and brand audits, we began to understand Classic Pianos’ core values, history, customer motivations, and craft a roadmap for future marketing efforts. Together, we determined that the development of a WordPress Multisite would be the best path forward.
Web Design and Development
Classic Pianos new websites needed a cohesive brand look and voice, an intuitive user experience, and the ability to display pianos that could be purchased online, along with deep product information for those that require an in-store purchase. We designed a rich, timeless look the sites to convey their long history and respected position in the industry. Beautiful panels tell the story of Classic Pianos and the piano brands they sell, as well as their strong selling proposition. A quick-loading and responsive interface and an easily updated Content Management System rounded out the development.
Benefits of a WordPress Multisite
- Accessibility: All sites share a single set of login credentials (per super admin user)
- Consistency: Ability to push product updates out from one site to the others sharing the multisite installation
- Cost and Time Savings: With a multisite installation, plugins can be shared among individual sites and updated simultaneously
- Continuity and Flexibility: A shared theme and global stylesheets ensure strong branding while allowing for customization on a per-site basis as needed
Copywriting
We used an active, brand-aligned voice to capture Classic Piano’s passion and knowledge. Engaging headlines, thoughtful keywords, and bulleted text helped create an engaging experience and search engine placement success. We used a mix of existing and new content to tell the story of this family-owned business.
