Websites for Musicians

Websites for Musicians

Social media is where musicians get discovered; a website is where they get booked. Venues, agents, wedding couples and event organisers all do the same thing before confirming an act: they look for a website, and they judge what they find. Fruitcake Media offers professional musician website design for solo artists, bands and function acts from £39 a month, built to turn listeners into bookings.

Why serious acts need more than a social profile

A social feed shows your latest post; a website shows your act. Bookers want everything in one place: what you sound like, what you look like on stage, what you offer, where you play and how to book you. Scrolling a feed to piece that together is work most bookers will not do, especially when the next act on their list has it laid out cleanly. A website is also yours in a way social profiles are not: no algorithm deciding who sees you, no platform rules changing under your feet, and a professional web address to put on cards, posters and email signatures.

For function bands, wedding singers and tribute acts, the website effectively is the audition. Good live video, clear set lists and honest answers to practical questions, about space, sound limiters, travel and timings, win bookings before any conversation happens. For original artists, a website ties together releases, gigs, press coverage and mailing list sign-ups into one place you control.

What your music website should include

• Video and audio front and centre, because bookers listen before they read
• A clear description of the act: line-up options, set lengths and repertoire
• Photos that show the scale and polish of your live performance
• Practical booking information: coverage area, travel, equipment and requirements
• Reviews from venues, couples and organisers you have played for
• A simple booking enquiry form asking for date, venue and event type

Being found by the people who book

Bookers search for acts by type and area, and those searches are winnable. SEO foundations are standard on every site we build, and our monthly SEO service can help established acts rank across their whole booking region. We build for performers across Cheshire and across the UK.

Pricing that works between gigs

Our pay monthly packages start from £39 a month with no upfront lump sum. Hosting, SSL, backups and support are included, and you can update gigs, videos and news yourself from your phone.

What a musician's website costs to run

The Starter package at £39 a month covers a professional site of up to five pages, which suits most acts: home, video and audio, about the act, booking information and contact. Busy function bands usually step up to Active at £79 a month, which adds a blog for gig news and releases, room for more pages and quarterly health checks. There is no upfront design bill on either, so the site can pay for itself with a single booking.

Common questions from musicians

Can the site embed my videos and music?

Yes. YouTube embeds sit front and centre, exactly where bookers expect them, and linking out to streaming platforms is straightforward. The site stays fast because the heavy media stays on the platforms built for it.

Can I update gigs and news myself?

Yes. CMS access is included in every package, so adding a gig, a video or a news post takes minutes from your phone, from the van, after soundcheck.

Is a website worth it for a function or tribute act?

Those acts arguably need one most. For weddings and corporate bookings the website effectively is the audition: live video, line-up options, set lists and practical answers win the booking before any conversation happens.

How quickly can my website go live?

Most musician websites are live within two to four weeks of starting, faster when video, photos and biography arrive early.
