Your release drops and fans arrive hungry. Music artist website development builds the owned digital hub where streaming links, tour dates, merch, and email capture live under your domain — not scattered across platforms that change their algorithm mid-campaign. We're talking Next.js performance, headless CMS control, and EPK tools that load in under a second on festival WiFi. Your site becomes the single source of truth your team, press, and superfans return to. The part it can't fix: convincing Spotify to playlist you. But it stops you from losing the traffic you already earned to a slow Squarespace template or a Linktree page Instagram buries in three months.

Veelgestelde vragen
How long does it take to build a music artist website?
Most artist sites launch in 5–7 weeks. Simpler builds with fewer integrations can ship in 4. If you're timing around an album drop, we plan backward from your release date and build the schedule around it.
Can I update tour dates and releases myself?
Yes. Every site ships with a headless CMS — typically Sanity — where you or your manager can add shows, releases, photos, and blog posts. The interface is visual and requires no coding. We walk you through it during handoff.
Do you integrate with Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp?
We integrate with all major streaming platforms via their APIs and embed players directly. Smart links route fans to their preferred service. Pre-save campaigns are built into the CMS workflow so you can launch them yourself.
Can I sell merch directly on my artist website?
Absolutely. We use the Shopify Storefront API to build a headless merch store directly into your site. Fans browse and buy without leaving your domain. You manage inventory and fulfillment from Shopify's backend the same way you always have.
Will my site work well on mobile at live events?
Fast mobile loading is a core design constraint, not an afterthought. We target sub-1.2-second load times on mobile networks. Static generation and edge caching via Vercel mean your site holds up even on crowded venue WiFi or spotty cell service.
Do I own my website and data after launch?
You own everything — domain, codebase, content, mailing list, analytics. We build on open-source tools and standard infrastructure. If you ever want to bring in a different developer, the whole project transfers cleanly with no lock-in.
