Whether you’re just starting in your music career or have been to a few festivals, a website for music is a great place to connect with fans, sell merchandise, and engage with industry professionals.

You’ll need to consider the design of your website before you begin. This includes the color scheme, fonts, placement of the site title, menu, and main image. Creating your music site may seem daunting, but you can have fun matching a template to your vision.

We’ve created a collection of staff favorites to help you make an image that compliments your music. Take a look.

Playful Tone

The header image will fill the background of the page and appear below the content when you use the Tone template. This theme is designed to make your content span the width of the page, and the opaque borders draw attention to your sections.

You can add your single to the top of your homepage if you are a singer/songwriter who has an upcoming single. The bubbly fonts and decorative titles go well with a positive agenda.

Shade (Neutral)

The Shade template presents a concise site title, menu, and social media icons to give gateways for all your artist content. The shadowy overlay beneath your menu and above your header photo amplifies these elements. When you use the full-height area for your header image, it speaks volumes.

As fans scroll down the page, similar to the Tone template, your content will slide over your header image. Consider adding a statement image to your header and changing the title of your site for your band’s logo. This template is perfect for a metal group with a dramatic image as the main image.

Nosi (Elegant),

Nosi is a template that you can use to frame your band’s website. Nosi is a variation that adds a white border around your page to draw attention to the content. The header image is fixed to the top, unlike the Shade and Tone Template. This variation uses a palette of slate-grey links and text against a white backdrop.

This template has space on each page for a header. Add different images to your pages as a way to introduce the content. If you have a picture from a professional photo shoot, use it as your header image for your EPK page. This Nosi template variation is perfect for a punk-rock project.

Pulse (Elegant),

Ambient-electronic music lovers should check out the elegant version of the Pulse Template. Fans will see an animated box around the site title and menu when they load your website. This theme features three different section styles to enhance your content in gray and flax hues.

Your header image will take up most of the top portion of the first page of your Pulse-themed website. This allows you to highlight a press photo, artwork, or your latest EP. The header image will be displayed as a banner on the inner pages below your site title, page titles, social icons, and other information. Try adding artwork to the internal pages as an ambient artist. This will create a visual portal for your content.

Honey (Playful),

This playful version of The Honey Template features a retro-diner palette. This theme’s teal and coral colors, along with its bouncy fonts, are perfect for pop artists who enjoy a retro summery vibe.

The Honey template places your menu at the bottom of the header image. It also highlights the current page with a different color font and a box surrounding the page title. If you’d like to use the same image as your header on all your pages, this is a great template. It will make it easy for your visitors to identify which page they are on. Add an image slide show to your header. You can apply this to all your pages for a dynamic but simple customization.

Nose (Playful),

This version of the Nosi Template features a black background and border. Still, the variation includes playful elements such as turquoise links, cursive font for the site title, and solid cells around the selected page. This version of Nosi is -ready to host music for your hip-hop or rap project.

Nosi allows you to upload an image for the page background. You can adjust your header to be a simple ribbon at the top of the page. Then, you can adjust the page background’s opacity so that the background image is visible on all your pages.

Empire (Sombre)

Empire is a bold template for music that magnifies your header image by reflecting it up from the thumbnail. You can include a call to action in the reflected area to encourage fans to subscribe to your mailing list, listen to your new album, or navigate to a particular promotion on your site.

This theme has a black, white, and gold color scheme. The theme has subtle and stylish elements such as a drop shadow under the thumbnail, a music player for the entire site, and content that is centered. The empire template perfectly suits the energy of an R&B artist.

Playful (Pulse)

The playful version of the Pulse Template complements an Americana/Folk artist who likes to mix tradition and modernity. The animated version offers animations as well, such as your site title puffing up during page loading and a square edge appearing when your visitors hover over the menu of your website. These animations can be used to add a playful visual element to your site.

The site-wide player is located in the bottom left corner of your page. While the content, title, and menu are all centered, as well as the social icons, the music player sits at the bottom right. The music player will use the same lemony color as the titles on your website. It will also expand to reveal more information about the song being played.

Resonance (Neutral)

The Resonance template has a large call-to-action that will encourage fans to join your mailing list or promote your latest merchandise drop. The top of the page will show your website title, call to action, and your website menu. Use your header image to make a bold statement.

This neutral version of the Resonance Template uses a monochromatic palette, crisp fonts, and a solid-white page border to let your website content take center stage. This template is perfect for rock bands who are just starting, as you can make a big impact on the first page.

When you are building your website, music website templates can be a great starting point. These templates are just like all our other templates. They’re easy to customize, and they look great on every device. Change colors, fonts, and other elements to make your template your own. Have fun creating!
