Musician Website Design
Your record has a sound. Your website should look like it.
A streaming profile shows your music in someone else’s brand. Your website is the one place online that’s all you (the music, the dates, the videos, the press, the merch), designed to look the way the record sounds.
Music design is where I started. Album packages for Louis XIV and Atlantic Records. Tour art, logos, and websites for Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary. Posters for Session Americana. Sites for Jason Hill and Sparks & Shadows. Twenty-five years in, the brief hasn’t changed: make the visual match the sound.
Whether you need a full site for the new record cycle, an EPK your manager can send around, or a tour page you can update from the van, it starts with the music, and ends with something that could only be yours.
Musician Website FAQ
Do you design album art and packaging too?
It’s where I came from. Album packages for Louis XIV, Bear McCreary, The Nervous Wreckords, Say Zuzu, and Atlantic Records. Vinyl, CD, and digital.
Can I update the site myself on tour?
Yes. Dates, photos, news: editable from a phone. I set it up so the things that change often are the things you can change.
Do you work with managers and labels?
Regularly. I’ve designed for Michael Jobson Management, Sparks & Shadows, and Atlantic Records. I’m happy being the design arm your team sends the assets to.
I have a site already. Can you redesign it?
That’s most projects, honestly. We keep what works (your domain, your mailing list) and rebuild the rest around the new record.
What CMS do you build musician websites on?
Whatever fits the catalog. Bear McCreary’s site runs on WordPress with a custom structure for a discography, filmography, and tour archive his own team updates. Smaller catalogs do better as fast static sites. Either way, a new record drops into place instead of being laid out by hand.
