Performer Websites for Working Musicians
Websites for working performers
A Website That Feels Like You
Social media is useful, but it should not be the only place people can find you. Venues, event planners, and new listeners should be able to see what you do without digging through weeks of posts.
I build polished, affordable WordPress websites for working musicians and performers. You bring me the music, photos, and information. I turn it into a professional online home that is easy to share and easy to keep current.
Everything in One Place
Your website gives people one reliable place to see, hear, and book you. It can include:
- Your biography and performance description
- Photographs
- Audio and video
- Upcoming public appearances
- Venue information
- Social-media links
- A direct booking inquiry form
Booking inquiries go directly to your email. I do not act as your agent or stand between you and the person trying to hire you.
Keep Your Gigs Current
Your website includes GigGizmo, the scheduling system I built for performers. It displays your public appearances and connects each one to useful venue information.
You can add and update gigs yourself with the instructions I provide, or hire me to do it for you. GigGizmo does not replace ticketing sites, Bandsintown, or social media. It gives you a schedule on a website you control.
Built for You—Not Handed to You
You provide the approved content and choose from a few visual directions. I handle WordPress, the design, forms, mobile layout, schedule system, and launch. I will not hand you an empty template and expect you to figure it out.
Your Website Belongs to You
The site is built in a hosting account you own. You are not renting a profile from me or trapped in a proprietary website builder. You can manage it yourself, hire me for updates, or move it later. If you leave my management, you will need to replace any software licenses supplied through my accounts.

Ongoing Maintenance
I keep WordPress, the theme, and plugins updated and do a basic site check after routine updates.
This does not include adding gigs, creating venue pages, replacing photos, rewriting biographies, or other content changes. You can make those changes yourself or hire me to do them.
Included first year
Elementor Pro
I use Elementor Pro under my managed license. The first year is included. Beginning in the second year, it is billed at $84 annually, subject to Elementor’s current price.
If I stop managing the site, I remove my license and you will need your own for future Pro updates and features.
$200 optional setup
Add a Newsletter
I can set up MailerLite, connect it properly to your domain, create a reusable newsletter template, add a signup form to the website, build a simple welcome email, and show you how to use it. MailerLite fees and future newsletter production are separate.
Before we build
What I Need From You
You do not have to know how to build a website. I do need the material that makes it yours. If you need substantial writing, logo work, major photo editing, extra features, or repeated revisions, I can quote those separately.
- Your approved biography and performance description
- Good-quality photographs and your logo, if you have one
- Audio and video links
- Social-media links
- The email address that should receive booking inquiries
- Complete information for your first gigs and venues
Ready When You Are
Use the intake to tell me what you perform, what material you already have, and what you want the website to do for you. I will review it and get in touch before the project begins.
