I found myself on a great-looking HostBaby site the other day, the home of the Dirk Quinn Band. When you first land there, you can see they’re making perfect use of the Moving Pictures theme: with some great live footage of the band looping continuously, their site is dynamic without being overly busy, and […]

There are a handful of things to discuss here in regards to the above tweet: First, Dave is using the word “purchase,” not “stream” or “listen to.” Dave seems to be the kind of fellow who enjoys supporting bands via buying their music (artists love guys like Dave!), but I’m not sure that even […] I suppose I should say “reminded me of” the importance of having your own website, because it’s something we’ve been championing for years! And if you’re a HostBaby user, you already know how important it is to have your own web address and a site YOU control. When we talk about the benefits of your […] You’ve got options. Let’s make ’em quick and easy. Resizing images to fit the needs of your site is something you’ll have to do occasionally, whether it’s a design choice, a file-size consideration, or maybe pushing a low-res image to its size limits. Whatever the reason, you’ll want to find a process that works […] Does your instrument tell a story?

Need some inspiration? Look no further than the artwork accompanying your project. HostBaby makes it simple to change the overall look […] We often talk about getting visitors on your site to take specific actions, and the importance of making clear exactly what you want them to do via your site design. Sometimes these can be ongoing projects like gathering emails via an eye-catching form on your site, or highlighting your tour dates front-and-center if you’re […] We’ve talked before about your musician bio and how it should tell your story using the aspects of your career that fans, bookers, and journalists are apt to be most interested in. This can extend to your videos, too: in fact, sometimes it’s even more effective to show rather than tell. While you can’t send […] Picking the right domain name (your web address) for your site is an important step in solidifying your online presence, but it can also be a stressful one, particularly if you can’t get “www.yourbandname.com.” This is a common problem for many artists, but there are plenty of solutions – some basic, some a little […] Happy New Year! Got any grand plans of remaking, renovating, or just generally improving your music life in 2018? Why not start with your website, the jumping-off point for all your content? Trying out a new theme on your HostBaby site is easy – like trying on new clothes in the store until you […] |
