Customized Web Sites for Bands And Musicians

Posts Tagged ‘singer website’

A question from Dan.

I am trying to help a band out with their web development and marketing.

I got some of the below ideas from the jonasbrothers.com website, however the band that I am doing this for is a completely different genre of music (it is an alternative rock band).

The members are completely into talking to fans via their website.

My gut says the major decision I am going to have is which CMS to use (I am leaning towards wordpress).

I am very interested in knowing what your suggestion would be for me.

I know they have a small budget to work with so maybe any custom programming could be done by some freelances.

The main thing is to make it easy to add content so we can manage a lot of it ourselves. If you could tell me about the format and how you would do it I would appreciate it.

I think the site should contain:

blog

built in music player

picture section (maybe linked to a flickr account)

video section (linked to youtube maybe)

sometype of twitter integration

sometype of myspace and facebook integration

a way to purchase merchandise

a subscriber/fan database for email newsletters communications

Hey Dan

Yes Wordpress is absolutely all that you want and can easily have all the features you want  incorporated into the site with plugins. If you provide most of the text and some photos I am sure we can get you started for $350 up front. I will also show you how you can add content, streaming audio and video easily.
