A musician's website has to do a few specific things that a generic business site does not: play your music, list shows, sell merch or tickets, hold your press kit, and collect emails from fans. Some builders were made for exactly that. Others are general tools where you assemble those pieces from embeds and apps.

This guide ranks the best website builders for musicians and bands in 2026, from a purpose-built music platform to general builders and one-page options. Prices are the starting paid plan billed annually and were verified in September 2026.

What a musician website needs

Check each builder against this list, not against its template gallery:

  • Music: a player, or embeds from Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp or SoundCloud.
  • Shows: a tour dates list that is easy to update, ideally synced from Bandsintown or Songkick.
  • Merch and tickets: a store, or links out to Bandcamp, Shopify or a ticketing partner, with as little commission as possible.
  • An electronic press kit (EPK): bio, photos, videos, stage plot, contact for bookers.
  • A mailing list signup that reaches your email tool.
  • Your own domain, and a price that makes sense for a site that mostly promotes.

1. Looops: best for a custom band site you describe

Looops is an AI website builder. You describe your music, what you have out, and the tone you want, and an AI agent designs and builds the site: a homepage with your streaming embeds, a shows page, a merch page that links to your store, an EPK, and a booking inquiry form that routes to you or your manager. You refine by chatting or by clicking any element.

It does not have a native music player or ticketing. Music comes from Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp or SoundCloud embeds, tour dates can come from a Bandsintown or Songkick widget, and merch links to wherever you already sell. What you get instead is a site that looks like your band and not like a template, on your own domain, with the code yours to export.

  • Best for: artists and bands who want a distinctive site without designing it themselves.
  • Pro: the design is generated from your description; every page is yours to change by chatting.
  • Pro: booking and mailing list forms built in; embeds for every major streaming service.
  • Pro: free plan to start; flat pricing; code export on paid plans.
  • Con: no native player, store or ticketing; those come from embeds and links to services you already use.
  • Price: free to start; Personal $12/mo billed yearly with a custom domain.

2. Bandzoogle: best music-first platform

Bandzoogle is built only for musicians, and it shows. A music player, a commission-free store for music and merch, a gig calendar, mailing list tools, and an EPK template are all part of the product, not add-ons. Plans start with Lite at $11 a month, with Standard and Pro adding more storage and features, and there is a 14-day trial but no free plan.

Design is the weak spot: templates are functional rather than striking, and customisation is limited. If you sell a lot of music and merch directly, the zero commission alone can pay for the plan.

  • Best for: working musicians who sell music and merch from their own site.
  • Pro: player, store, gig calendar, mailing list and EPK all built in.
  • Pro: zero commission on sales (payment processor fees still apply).
  • Con: no free plan; templates are dated compared with general builders.
  • Con: no code export; the site stays on Bandzoogle.
  • Price: Lite from $11/mo; Standard about $14.95/mo; Pro about $24.95/mo.

3. Wix: best feature set for bands that sell and book

Wix is the most complete general builder. Its music app adds a player and downloads, its events and store apps cover tickets and merch, and the app market fills most gaps. The free plan publishes with Wix ads on a wixsite.com subdomain; paid plans start at $17 a month.

You assemble everything yourself, and the editor gets busy once several apps are installed.

  • Best for: bands that want store, events and bookings on one platform and are happy to build by hand.
  • Pro: free plan; the widest range of music, event and commerce apps.
  • Con: Wix ads and a subdomain on the free plan; no code export.
  • Price: free plan with ads; paid from about $17/mo billed annually.

4. Squarespace: best design-led templates

Squarespace has handsome templates that suit solo artists and labels, an audio block for hosted tracks, and a store on every plan. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and the Basic plan rose to $19 a month in August 2026 with a 2% transaction fee on sales; Core at $29 removes the fee.

  • Best for: artists who want a polished, image-led site and a small store.
  • Pro: strong templates; audio block and store built in.
  • Con: no free plan; 2% fee on the Basic plan; no code export.
  • Price: from about $19/mo billed annually.

5. Bandcamp: best for selling, not for a full site

Bandcamp is a storefront rather than a website builder, but for many independent artists it is the site. Fans stream and buy music and merch, you keep the customer emails, and there is no monthly fee; Bandcamp keeps 15% of digital sales and 10% of merch. Pair it with any of the builders above by embedding your Bandcamp player and linking your store.

  • Best for: selling music and merch directly to fans.
  • Pro: free; a real audience of buyers; you keep fan emails.
  • Con: not a website: no custom pages, shows list or EPK.
  • Price: free; 15% on digital sales, 10% on merch.

6. Carrd: best one-page link hub

If all you need is one page with your latest release, streaming links, upcoming shows and a contact, Carrd does it for $9 a year (Pro Lite) or $19 a year with a custom domain and forms (Pro Standard). The free plan allows three sites with Carrd branding.

  • Best for: new artists and link-in-bio pages.
  • Pro: nearly free; fast and clean.
  • Con: one page only; no store or calendar.
  • Price: free plan; Pro Lite $9/yr; Pro Standard $19/yr.
