Your band needs a good website
This is how we can help you to make your bands web site more successful. Contact us now to talk about your requirements.
Bands need to have websites that work. When we take a commission from a band to create a new web site or to improve an existing one, the first questions we ask are:
What do you want your web site to achieve? What are the outputs? What do you want back from the website?
Our approach is results driven. You tell us the goals, we make sites that seek them.
So many sites we see on the Internet are a triumph of style over content. They concentrate on prettiness and fancy graphics but are thin on substance.
Of course web sites should look good. But not at the expense of functionality.
Many bands make their own web pages and some of them are truly awful. Many are poorly written, with little thought being put into the text, obvious information being left out and the overall impression is that this band is not serious about what it is trying to achieve.
Our band does not need a web site! So many bands now have pages on MySpace. So why bother having a web site anyway?
Here are some things a web site can do for your band
- More chances of being found on the net
- You have control over the content and how it is presented
- If you have your own domain name you can send emails using your own name rather than a Hotmail address or something like that
- You can set up and manage mailing lists - very important to keeping your fans informed about gigs and album sales
- More links in major search engines
- You can sell your tracks online
Frequently asked questions about rock band web sites
Can I have a blog as part of my web site?
Yes. You can either link to an existing web blog site or you can start your own with our free easy to use blogging add-on.
If we have an existing domain name, can we still use it with your hosting service?
Yes. Any domain name, where ever it is hosted, can be pointed to our web server.
How can we start a mailing list for our fans?
Just install it on your web hosting space from your control panel. It's free on our hosting service. Our mailing list package is fully compliant with UK Government standards for bulk email.
Can I have music tracks on my web site?
Yes and videos too.
Do you use ready made templates?
No. We are web designers.
Can we make changes to our web site?
Well you have full FTP to your web space on GYBO hosting, so you can download and upload web pages. But you will have to either get some decent WYSIWYG web design software or learn HTML.
Having said that, we are a range of free add-ons, like a band calendar, which allows you to add dates to your gigs listing, using only your usual web browser.
How much does it cost?
How much do you want to spend? There is no set price list. You tell us what you can afford and we will tell you how much web site you can get.
Will you help us to do our own web site?
Yes. If you have some web design software and want some professional help to make a good web site, we can help you with that.
