Seaford Saint Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 I have started recording songs of mine over the last year or so and I would like to start to put them onto my very own website. A few misguided souls even want to buy the songs. I expect to record my songs going forward..it's great therapy Has anyone on this site created their own website. If you have who did you choose, how did you do it? I haven't a clue. I recall Baj having some songs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 I can help you with the creation of a website... although with Wordpress, it's fairly easy to make one yourself with a little persistence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbert Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 Yep - Wordpress is good (and free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 19 June, 2012 Share Posted 19 June, 2012 Would this be a website on my own pc? It'll be hosted online. Basically, you'll need a domain (godaddy are good for that), Hostgator (webspace - I can offer you that for free). Then you need to design your webiste. You can go for an "off-the-shelf" solution like Weebly and customise it or better still, use a Wordpress template. There are some real decent free ones, but many of the more desirable cost a little. Of course, you'll also have to consider what you'd like features wise on your site with regards to downloadable/streaming content etc. Sounds a bit much to take in at first but I can of course help and I'm sure many other people on here can offer their expertise also.

Baj Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 myspace is still the best option for a musician, that and a facebook page with soundcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 myspace is still the best option for a musician, that and a facebook page with soundcloud I was thinking the same....I 'look after' a website for a band but we rarely update it these days due to most fan traffic going via Facebook and the like. That said, it's probably still a good idea to have a website as a formal 'portal' to direct fans to your social network pages if nothing else.

Seaford Saint Posted 20 June, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 June, 2012 The chances of me getting any fans are remote. Baj, you are a much better singer than I am....I do have access to talented musicians though So I will do both, I will join myspace and get a website Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLove Posted 20 June, 2012 Share Posted 20 June, 2012 I have done this for my wife's website (she's a singer), I used soundcloud.com to do the leg work for me and then used the imbeded code to bring it to my site really easy. Also there is a great app for Facebook called bandpage or something like that which can enable you to bring it all under 1 roof on FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
