Build Your Band's Website with One Prompt (Copy, Paste, Done)
A venue booker just listened to 30 seconds of your track and wants the basics: bio, live video, past shows, tech needs, one contact. If that means digging through your Instagram, you lost the slot to a band with an EPK. And the fans you do win live on platforms that own the relationship — one algorithm change and your reach is gone, which is why the mailing list is the only asset musicians actually keep.
One afternoon between rehearsals: a complete, ready-made prompt below builds your band site — EPK that books gigs, shows calendar, music and video embeds, a mailing list that's yours — in about 3 minutes. Free to start, no credit card.
Step 1 — Pick your platform
| Platform | Best for | Price | Our take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base44 | Most artists — shows, mailing list & merch built in | Free trial; from $16/mo | The mailing list and show calendar live in YOUR database — the two assets that matter. |
| Lovable | Artists whose visual identity leads | Free trial; $25/mo | The most striking design output — your aesthetic deserves it. |
| v0 by Vercel | Design-obsessed artists | Free tier; $30/mo | Pixel-level control — build the site that matches the album art. |

PAGES & STRUCTURE
1. Home — band name, genre one-liner, an embedded featured track/video,
next shows strip, mailing list signup ("get shows + new music first"),
social links
2. Shows — upcoming gigs from a database I manage (date, venue, city,
ticket link), past shows collapse below; empty state: "No shows
announced — join the list to hear first"
3. Music — embedded players (Spotify/Bandcamp/YouTube) by release, with
one line of context per release
4. EPK (electronic press kit — for bookers, its own clean page):
short + long bio, high-res photo placeholders with a download note,
2 live videos embedded, press quotes, past venues/festivals list,
tech/stage needs summary [LINEUP, INPUTS, BACKLINE NEEDS], and ONE
booking contact button. No clutter — bookers decide in 60 seconds.
5. Contact — booking email prominent, general contact form
MAILING LIST (the asset)
- Signup on every page footer + home: email (+ optional city — so I can
announce shows locally)
- Store in my database, exportable; confirmation message: "You're in —
shows and new music, first."
TRUST & LEGAL
- Footer: booking contact, social links, Privacy Policy (draft)
SEO BASICS
- Titles: "[BAND] — [GENRE] from [CITY]"; the EPK page titled
"[BAND] | EPK & Booking"Step 3 — Refine with follow-up prompts
Paste these one at a time, in any order. Each takes seconds.
Build the business behind the website
Build a Portfolio Site
An EPK a booker can decide from in sixty seconds, plus shows and embeds.
Build a Mailing List You Own
The list that survives an algorithm change — with a city field, so a new show fills the right room.
Build an Online Store
Merch sold direct, so a $25 shirt pays you like a $25 shirt.
How much does a band website cost in 2026?
Direct answer: $16–30/month on an AI builder — in the same range as musician site builders (Bandzoogle $15–20/month), but with the merch store commission-free and the mailing list fully yours.
| Path | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Musician site builders | $15–20/mo | Template look; store fees on lower tiers |
| Linktree + socials only | Free | You own nothing; the algorithm owns you |
| AI builder (this page) | $16–30/mo | One afternoon between rehearsals |
Merch math: no marketplace cut means a $25 shirt pays you like a $25 shirt (minus ~3% card processing). Add ~$15/year for the domain. Pricing verified July 2026.
Start free — see your band's site before paying anything
Paste the master prompt with your own Spotify and YouTube links into Base44, Lovable or v0 using its current free allowance. Explore the site and check that your music plays on a phone before deciding what to buy.
More build usage, a custom domain, mailing-list services and commerce features may cost extra. Check the costs of the setup you choose, then decide with your own music and next-show route on screen.
Two honest warnings
- Embed, don't upload. Your music stays on Spotify/Bandcamp/YouTube where plays count and rights are managed — the site embeds players, it doesn't host audio files. This is both the legal path and the smart one.
- The EPK is a business document — keep it boring-fast. Bookers skim dozens a week: one page, working videos, real tech needs, one contact. Every artistic flourish that slows it down costs you a reply. Save the art for the rest of the site.
