Create your Music Website with Jimdo

Building a music website is the best solution for creating a centralized location where your fans can hear your songs and find out about your upcoming concerts and new releases. Musicians can also share photos, video and other media, and sell their merch all from the same place. Plus, a musician website shows bookers, agents, and others in the industry that you’re committed, professional, and that you take your craft seriously. It’s an important step to turn a hobby or idea into a real music career.

The best musician websites typically start with these pages: Homepage, About or Bio, Music, Merch, Press, and Tour/Calendar. That's because your music site has different audiences who are looking for different things: fans who want to find out where you’re playing, new listeners who are hearing you for the first time, and people in the industry like bookers, promoters, and reporters.

You pour your heart and soul into your music, but as every new band and musician quickly learns, that’s only half the battle in the music business. Fortunately, having a website makes it much easier to get discovered. By creating one central hub for all of your work, you make it easier for new fans to find you and for industry pros to learn more about you.

A sleek, professional musician or band website doesn’t have to cost a lot of money at all. In fact, you can get started with all the tools you need to post your playlists, text, photos, and videos absolutely free! Start your band website for free with a Play plan, then, when you’re ready to take things to the next level, invest in a paid plan that includes a custom address (domain) for the first contract term. These premium plans are only a few dollars a month, but they include dedicated customer support, automatic SEO, SmartApp integration, extra storage and bandwidth, and more.

Do keep your design simple: The best music website designs are clean, modern, and show off your work without distractions. Choose your best work, and leave out the rest. Keep your site current with your favorite tracks, photos, and videos. People have short attention spans and the more you can streamline your stuff, the more polished and professional you’ll look.

Don’t forget to include some text. While you might want your music to speak for itself, make sure to write text about yourself too. This will help search engines find your stuff and show it to the right people. Don't forget your custom domain: Committing to a custom domain or website address shows that you’re committed to your band and that you’re investing in your career.
