See the site before you buy it.

Below are two working DJ websites. Not screenshots, not a feature list — two real sites you can click through, scroll, and open on your phone right now. One is what $899 builds. One is what $1,500 builds. Look at both, then decide which one fits what you're actually trying to do.

Open the demo sites Talk about your build

Click through both

Two tiers, two live sites.

Same construction on both: hand-built pages, no page builder, no theme to license, nothing that expires. The difference is how much room the site gives you — and how much work it does before a promoter has to email you.

The residency

Starter site $899

One page. Fully yours.

Your name, your sound, your dates, your contact — one address you control, live this month. The room you hold down while everything else you post on is rented.

Opens the working demo

One page, four sections. Hero, upcoming dates, email capture, social directory.
Booking path that reaches you. A visible booking contact, not a form that disappears.
Built phone-first. Nearly everyone who hears about you looks you up on a phone.
Email capture wired up. Connects to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Systeme.io or the platform you already use.
Your domain, SSL, hosting configured. Set up and handed over working.
No plugins, no framework. Nothing in the stack that can break itself while you're on the road.
An upgrade path, not a dead end. Moves up to the Pro build for $650 whenever you're ready.

Plus $59/month for hosting, maintenance and content updates.

Start here, move up later. If the Starter site stops being enough, it upgrades to the Pro build for $650 — the difference between the tiers plus the work of restructuring one page into three. You don't pay for a second site, and you can't pick wrong.

The headliner

Pro site $1,500

A site that answers before you do.

Music and calendar on their own pages, so whoever lands — a promoter in Berlin, an A&R in London, someone who heard you once in Detroit — gets the whole picture without asking you for anything. This is the version that reads as an international artist rather than a link in a bio.

SEE THE $1,500 PRO SITE

Opens the working demo — three pages

Everything in the Starter site, rebuilt across a multi-page structure — whether you start here or upgrade into it later.
A dedicated Music page. Featured mix, radio archive, and embeds from SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Spotify, YouTube or Bandcamp.
A dedicated Schedule page. Dates, venues, set times, and ticket, RSVP or stream links on each one.
Navigation that holds up. Consistent header and booking button on every page.
Press-kit structure. Room for press photos, a bio at three lengths, and a technical rider.
Built to grow. New pages get added later without starting over.

Plus $59/month for hosting, maintenance and content updates.

Which one is right. If you're playing rooms in more than one city, start here. The Music and Schedule pages are what make a site read as an artist with a career instead of a profile with a link, and building them in now costs less than adding them later.

Every site includes

$59/month

Hosting, upkeep, and the updates you'd otherwise be doing at 2 a.m.

The monthly covers hosting, SSL, backups, and the changes that actually come up: a new date, a new mix, a new photo, a venue that moved you to a different room. You send it, I make it. There's no dashboard for you to learn and no plugin waiting to break.

This is the part most DJ sites lose to. The site gets built, the dates go stale, and within a season it's doing you more harm than an empty profile. A site with last year's calendar on it tells a promoter something you don't want it to say.

Ask what's covered

Where this comes from

I don't only build these. I run one.

Three Men and a Tenor is a touring group I co-own, with close to 4,000 shows behind it. I designed the site, built the ecommerce, and connected the pieces that have to talk to each other. It has been carrying a working act's merchandise, music, calendar and bookings for years — so the two demos above aren't a theory about what performers need. They're what running one taught me.

A store that ships.

Merchandise alongside digital music, including a three-album download pack. Selling to someone who just watched you play is a different problem than selling to a browser, and the store is built for the first one.

Music that lives everywhere.

Distribution out to iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play and Spotify, with direct links to the artist profile on each, so nobody has to hunt for where to listen.

A booking path with a person at the end.

A dedicated booking page, a phone number and an inquiry route. Venues and buyers don't all arrive the same way, and the site shouldn't force them to.

A schedule, kept current.

The page that answers the only question a buyer really has at the start: is this act working right now?

A mailing list.

The one audience channel no platform can throttle, rank, or take away. Every site I build for a performer has one.

Media kits — plural.

Not one press kit. Separate kits for separate kinds of booking. This is the part almost every artist site misses.

The media kits are the part I'd steal. Three Men and a Tenor doesn't have a single press kit. It has one for the Music of America program and one for the holiday program, because a buyer shopping a summer patriotic show and a buyer shopping December are not the same buyer and don't need the same material. A DJ has the same split and almost never builds for it — the club night, the wedding, the corporate room, the festival slot. The Pro tier is structured with room for more than one.

Three Men and a Tenor, LLC is a company I co-own, so this is self-owned work rather than a client reference. Everything described above is on the live site and you're welcome to check it yourself.

Who you're building for

What a promoter is actually doing on your site.

A fan will forgive a slow site. A talent buyer won't. That's the part I've watched from inside a working act: the booking page is where an inquiry either starts or quietly doesn't, and nobody tells you which happened. Both demo sites are built around that.

They're scanning, not reading.

Your name, your sound, and your booking contact need to land before anyone scrolls. Both sites lead with all three.

One click to hear you.

No logins, no download-to-listen, no request-access screens. The mix plays where they landed. The Pro site gives that its own page.

They check whether you're working.

A current calendar is proof of life. The Pro site's Schedule page is built so dates stay easy to keep current — which is what the monthly is for.

Nothing dead-ends.

Broken links and inactive social accounts are a common reason kits get set aside. Every link on your site gets checked at launch and stays checked.

It's a phone, almost always.

Both sites are laid out for a phone first and widen from there, rather than a desktop layout squeezed down.

They want the email visible.

Booking contact sits in the header on every page of the Pro site, so it's never more than a glance away.

Why a site you own, when the socials are free. A profile is rented ground: the platform decides who sees it, the feed buries it, and the account can go sideways without warning. An owned site is the one address that stays yours, keeps your calendar and your booking email in one place, and doesn't reorder itself based on how the algorithm feels about you this week.

Side by side

The difference, in one table.

If you're between the two: the Starter site is right when you mainly need one professional address. The Pro site is right when promoters and venues are the people you most need to convince. And it isn't a one-way door — the Starter site upgrades to Pro for $650 whenever the smaller site stops keeping up with you.

How the build runs

You see the real thing before it goes live.

The demos above aren't mockups I made to sell with — they're the actual structure your site gets built on. That's why you can click them.

Conversation

What you play, who books you, what's costing you gigs right now, and which of the two tiers actually fits. If the Starter site is enough for where you are, I'll say so — it upgrades to Pro for $650 later, so there's no reason to buy ahead of where you actually are.

Gather

Mixes, dates, photos, bio, social links, booking email. I'll send a single list of what I need so it's one pass, not a month of back-and-forth.

If some of it doesn't exist yet, we build around what you have and add the rest later. Nothing waits on a photo shoot.

Build

Your site gets built on the same structure you clicked through, adapted to your name, your colors and your material. Not a template you fill in — a build that starts from something already proven to work.

Review

You get a working link and click through it yourself before anything goes public. Changes happen here, while it's still cheap to change things.

Launch and hand over

Domain pointed, SSL on, email capture connected, links tested. You own the domain and the site. The monthly picks up from there.

Straight answers

What's not in the price.

Worth saying out loud, so nothing shows up as a surprise on an invoice.

Photography and logo design. Both sites are built to show good photos off. Getting those photos taken, or a mark designed, is separate work I can quote or refer out.
Your domain registration. Roughly the cost of a coffee per month, paid to the registrar, in your name. I'll configure it either way.
Third-party platform fees. Ticketing, email platforms above their free tiers, and anything you're already paying for stays yours.
Music production, mixing and mastering. Not what I do.
Paid advertising. Separate conversation, separate scope.
Sites well beyond these two tiers. Merch stores, ticketed events, membership areas, label rosters. All buildable, none of it priced here — that comes out of a conversation.

Start here

Click both sites first. Then let's talk.

Open the two demos, decide which one matches what you're trying to do, and come to the conversation knowing what you want. It makes the first call about your music instead of about web design.
