Why is it important for a musicians, singer or band to have a website?
  1. Now, more than ever, people are turning to the internet for information, to find tradesmen, businesses, entertainment, resources and ideas, and to keep in contact with others.
  2. With a website you can present yourself and your talents clearly and professionally.
  3. A professional website can present an inexperienced performer or band with just as much impact as an established superstar.
  4. The internet is open for business 24/7. In the music industry this is important because talent scouts, managers, agencies, and prospective employers exist all around the globe. If your website clearly presents what you can do in the best possible light through photos, audio, video and media reviews this may create a better impression than a face to face meeting.
  5. Your website is a powerful and cost-effective direct marketing and communication tool. For a fraction of the cost of regular print ads you can be promoting yourself 24/7.
  6. Your website is an accessible point of contact. An email link or form on a web page is an efficient way for a website visitor to reach you whether you are at home or touring.
  7. A good domain name is easier to remember than a phone number.

What should a musician/singer/band website say?
(These are of course only suggestions. You may have an entirely different approach)

  1. The Home page - Welcome, photo, short description of you or your act and  some short print media write-ups, reviews, quotes.
  2. Your biography - A page that talks about past achievements, who you have worked with, places you have toured, etc.
  3. Your music - A page that talks about your CD releases, has mp3 samples of tracks to hear online, has links to companies that sell your CDs online, perhaps some embedded video footage to watch.
  4. A contact page - email and phone contact info and perhaps an online form for visitors to send a message
  5. A gig guide page - Your upcoming gigs in chronological order with links to venue websites and booking websites. This is the page that you may want to update regularly yourself. We will give you our unique software set up and ready to go for this purpose.
  6. A links page - Place links to other artists, venues, festivals, music companies, etc.  You may ask for a reciprocal link to your website to be placed on their websites (more promotion for you)
  7. Optional page - An image gallery - 4 or 8 contrasting photos of you or your group.
  8. Optional page - An online booking/enquiry form - This can be simply for enquiries, or it can ask all the questions you need to ask before accepting a booking.
  9. Another optional but very useful page is a Promoters page - This can be password protected and contain links to all the resources you normally need to post by snail mail to agents, promoters and entertainment managers...
    - your press kit
    - your performance requirements, rider
    - your bio as a pdf
    - your stage plan
    - downloadable hi-res photos
