AlexH. Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Lots of people on here swear by limitedpressing. Probably cheaper, at least in the short term, than hiring someone to design a website that's going to be less functional. Link to the band you're working with?

recordhound1002 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Im not really inclined to name the band at this point. There are a few locals im working with as well only one plans on having a release in the next month or two and I am taking the first release. They are called Young & Barren.

danthemjfan23 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 dude, i created my site using bandzoogle. it was SO fucking easy. it's not the best website in the world, but it gets done what i need it to do. for $20 a month, i get a store directly in my website, and all the free digital download codes i ever want. part of the deal is also a custom domain name. if you use the free trial, it'll be "www.recordhound1002.bandzoogle.com" ... but if you upgrade to the $20/month option, you can get it to be "www.recordhound1002.com". i have absolutely ZERO web design experience in my background, and i created everything you see on my own. it's very easy to use. i'd be happy to walk you through anything you need. www.artisticintegrityrecords.com if you decide you want to try using bandzoogle, let me give you a referral link so you can get 60 days of free usage, and i can get a month free!

danthemjfan23 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 don't get me wrong, there were a ton of real junkers in there to choose from. i just really like simple websites. i could have added a flash intro, or a site-wide media player, or a whole bunch of bells and whistles. but i don't like all that crap. just make it obvious for me to get where i need to go, and let me buy my shit and get on my way. that's how i tried to lay my site out, at least. also, unless they have since changed their prices, if you want digital download codes from limited pressing, it's $20 for 1,000 codes. by far the best price i found anywhere (most places seemed to be $55-60 per thousand). the catch was, you had to also agree to buy 2 months of limited pressing's store, which was $20/month. they throw in a third month free, but you're essentially paying $60 for 1,000 downloads and 3 months of store usage. with bandzoogle, you get a free store on your own site (no links to external sites/stores needed), and all the digital download codes your little heart desires. if you're only going to be doing one release every 3 months, you wouldn't need any more than 1,000 codes more than likely anyway. but still.

danthemjfan23 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 here's another band's website that uses the exact same template as the one i'm using for mine. www.theloveshots.com as you can see, they were a little more creative with their use of photos at the top of pages than i was. and they utilize a few more of the options than i have chosen to so far.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 You could also try Virb.com. I'd be an advocate for the template route. I say this with all due respect, but anyone who is willing to do this for you for free probably isn't going to position you favorably in the marketplace. You could get lucky with some hungry, really talented, recent graduate but most self-respsecting designers are not going to leap at this opportunity.

dreamover Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 all these websites take me back to the 90's. when people only designed websites in notepad. (i still do btw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 all these websites take me back to the 90's. when people only designed websites in notepad. (i still do btw). I love when I tell people that you could build a website out of notepad with source codes. Their answer is always no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 im web illiterate, and i was able to cobble together a semi decent word press site... and thats totally free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user456 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 tumblr would be great as well. You could use it temporarily until you get a site up. Plus networking on tumblr is really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
