Websites for musicians
Let a talent buyer hear you, see you live and book a date
A venue or a couple planning a wedding gives you about a minute. Your website plays your best songs, shows where you are playing next and what you need on stage, and the booking inquiry asks for the date, the place, the kind of event and the budget.
$0 upfront build. Hosting and care from $50 a month.
The example
What it looks like for a musician
A planner plays a song, sees where the band is playing next, and sends a booking inquiry with the date, the event and the length of the set. You get what you need to quote.
What the site does
Three jobs it handles for you
Get heard in the first minute
Your best songs and a live video at the top, so a talent buyer hears what they are booking before they read a word.
Keep your shows current
Upcoming shows with dates and places, kept up to date from your plan’s update hours, so fans and buyers see you are working.
Get booking inquiries you can quote
The inquiry asks for the date, the place, the kind of event, the length of the set and the budget, so you can answer with a price.

Proof
See real work, then yours
The example above is a concept demo with sample content, not a client. Every site we build is designed and coded for that business. You can look through websites we have built, and before you decide anything you review a demo made for yours.
How it works
From application to launch
Apply
Two minutes. Tell us about the business and what the website should do. Applying costs nothing and signs you up for nothing.
Confirm the plan
Cole confirms your goals, the monthly plan and its exact price, and who signs off on the site.
Review a demo
You see a focused demo of your website, built around your business, before you decide.
Accept and set up
If you go ahead, you accept the terms and save a payment method. Nothing is charged at that point.
Approve the launch
You approve the finished site and it goes live. Billing starts when your site goes live, or on day 60 if we are still waiting on something from you.
Questions
What musicians ask us
Can the site play my music?
Yes. Songs play from where they already live, like Spotify, Bandcamp or YouTube, so the plays still count there.
Can I have a press kit page?
Yes. Your bio, photos, a stage plot and what you need on stage, on one page you can send to any venue or planner.
Can I sell merch?
Yes, with an online store, which is a feature added to Advantage or Priority. With a store, we photograph up to 20 of your items one time, free, when you bring them in.
Will it get me more gigs?
We do not promise gigs, leads or rankings. Search optimization is included, so your music, your events and your town have pages built to be found.
What does it cost?
The build is $0 upfront. Hosting and care is monthly: Essentials $50, Advantage $85 and Priority $125 a month. They differ by how many changes we make for you each quarter, how fast we make them, and how many blog posts you get. Features like booking or an online store add to the plan's price. Your exact monthly price is confirmed before you decide, and it is never based on how complex your site is.
When does billing start?
Hosting billing starts the day your website goes live. If we are still waiting on something from you 60 days after you sign, such as your domain access, your content or your approval, billing starts then instead. If we are the ones holding things up, it waits until the site is live.
Can I cancel?
Within 3 days of signing, either of us can end it and you owe nothing. After that and before launch, there is a cancellation fee of two months of your hosting price, less anything already paid. Once the site is live, you can leave any time with 60 days notice from your client portal.
Who owns the website?
Your brand, your domain and the content you give us are always yours. The website and its code belong to Sweet Dreams while we host it, and you can buy them at any time. The buyout price goes down the longer you host with us.
Who makes changes after launch?
We do. Your plan includes update hours every quarter, 3, 9 or 16 depending on the plan, and you send changes from your client portal. Work beyond your hours is quoted first, and you approve it before it starts.
Are photos or video included?
We build with the photos and video you already have. With an online store, we photograph up to 20 of your products one time, free, when you bring them to our office. Any other professional shoot, we quote it separately.
