Musician websites that own your name in search.
Custom Squarespace sites for musicians — music playable in one tap, dates always current, press kit ready, and a mailing list that belongs to you rather than a platform. Fixed price agreed before we start, and you own everything.
Streaming platforms own your audience. Your website is the only part you control.
Spotify decides who hears you, Instagram decides who sees you, and neither gives you the email address. A site is the one place where the music, the dates, the press material and the list are yours — and it is usually the most neglected asset an artist has.
Most musician websites
The rented-audience problem
Followers on a platform are borrowed. An algorithm change can remove most of your reach overnight, and there is no appeal.
The stale-dates problem
A tour list six months out of date does more damage than no list at all, because it suggests nothing is happening.
What we build instead
A site that ranks for your name, plays music instantly, keeps dates current without a developer, and turns visitors into a mailing list you own.

Built for how listeners and bookers actually arrive
Every element below exists because it changes whether a visitor becomes a listener, a ticket or a booking.
Listen in one tap
Music playing immediately, before anything else. A visitor who has not heard you yet has no reason to read further.
Dates and tickets current
Structured so shows can be added in a minute from a phone, because a stale date list costs you ticket sales and credibility.
Press kit and downloads
Bio, photos, riders and links in one place, so a promoter or journalist can act without emailing you.
Owns your name in search
Marked up so your own site sits above the streaming profiles when somebody searches you.
Mailing list, prominently
The one audience nobody can take away. Positioned to actually collect rather than hidden in a footer.
Fast on mobile
Almost every listener arrives on a phone, often from a link in a story. A slow load loses them before the first bar.
A musician we did this for
Aria Melody
A performer with an outdated website and a clear brief: a redesign that feels both sophisticated and fun. Two qualities most sites pick one of, because holding both at once is genuinely difficult.
Sophisticated and fun
Owns the name
“Working with Mikkel has been an incredible experience. He’s both a talented designer and a skilled developer who brings creative insight and technical precision to every project. Mikkel guided me through a modern, fresh design approach and shared valuable best practices along the way.”

How your musician website gets built
Four stages, in the same order every time. How long each takes depends on the size of the site — you get the timeline in writing before anything starts.
-
01
Discovery
One call and a short form. Which work is most profitable, which you want more of, and what clients ask before they commit.
-
02
Copy first
Every page written for you and sent as a document to review. You approve what the site says before you see how it looks.
-
03
Design & build
Built custom from a blank canvas — desktop and mobile — with SEO, schema and analytics wired in as we go, not bolted on after.
-
04
Launch & handover
If you have an existing site, every URL is redirected so rankings hold. Then training, 30 days of support, and full ownership in your name.
We launch, rebuild, grow and maintain musician websites.
Two fixed-price projects to get the site right, two monthly retainers to keep it working. Most clients start with a project, then add one retainer.
You have the direction. We build it properly.
For companies with their design and content already settled, or moving from another platform without changing the substance. The thinking is done — this is the part where it gets built and lands without incident.
Everything reconsidered, then rebuilt around it
For companies where the site is not just dated but wrong — the wrong message, the wrong structure, aimed at the wrong buyer. We start with what it should say and work outward from there.
Visibility that compounds instead of resetting
Fewer buyers reach a results page at all now — they ask an assistant and act on the answer. Being the source that answer draws on is the work, and it is won slowly rather than switched on.
The web team you would hire, without the headcount
For companies that want the site run rather than repaired. Someone who knows it inside out, works to your rhythm, and gets to things before you have noticed them.
Grow and Maintain can run together after any project. Not sure which you need? The discovery call settles it in thirty minutes.
Questions musicians ask us
Will we lose our current search rankings?
+
No. Every URL is mapped and 301-redirected before launch, and rankings are measured either side — including anything ranking for the artist name.
Can we sell tickets and merch from the site?
+
Yes. Squarespace handles merch natively, and ticketing platforms and streaming links integrate cleanly through embeds. What is possible with your specific setup gets scoped before quoting.
Why do we need a site when we are on Spotify?
+
Because Spotify decides who hears you and never gives you the email address. The site is the one place where the music, the dates, the press material and the list are actually yours.
How do we keep tour dates current?
+
It is built so shows can be added in a minute from a phone. A tour list six months out of date does more damage than no list at all, because it suggests nothing is happening.
Should music play immediately?
+
Yes. A visitor who has not heard you has no reason to read anything else, so listening needs to be one tap — in the browser and linked to every platform.
Do we need a press kit on the site?
+
Yes. Bio, photos, riders, tech specs and links in one place means a promoter or journalist can act without emailing and waiting for a reply.
Can we outrank our own streaming profiles for the artist name?
+
Usually yes, with proper structure and schema. That matters because the first result for your name is what a promoter or a new listener sees first.
Where should the mailing list signup sit?
+
Prominently, not the footer. It is the only audience nobody can take away from you, and most artists bury the one asset they actually own.
Can we update it ourselves?
+
Yes. Dates, releases, press, merch and photos are all editable in-house, with a recorded walkthrough of your own site. If updating keeps slipping, there is a management retainer.
What does it cost, and who owns the site?
+
Projects start from $3,750, with the exact figure set by page count, functionality and whether existing content is being migrated. You get a fixed number in writing before anything begins — no hourly billing and no scope surprises. Full detail on the pricing page. You own the result outright: the domain, the Squarespace account and every piece of content are in your name from day one, with no agency lock-in.
