For bands and artists aiming to build a significant online presence, Portfoliobox delivers powerful tools to craft a vibrant and engaging portfolio website. Whether you want to display your latest tracks, post tour dates, or sell merchandise, Portfoliobox encompasses all the essential features of a complete music website. Draw inspiration from our demo site, echoband.portfoliobox.net, as we assist you in creating your own music-focused website.
Our demo site, specifically tailored for artists and bands, offers a seamless, user-friendly experience across seven main pages: Home, Live, Listen, Releases, About, Contact, and Merch. Each page is carefully designed to emphasise essential elements of a band's online presence—from tour schedules and music streaming to merchandise and contact details. To begin, simply select the template that best fits your style, personalise the content to showcase your unique brand, and see your online presence flourish.
Homepage — showcase key updates
The homepage of our demo site serves as the central hub for all essential information about the band. It prominently features the latest album release, showcasing its cover to catch visitors' attention immediately. Additionally, the homepage highlights other important information, such as upcoming tour dates, recent news, and direct links to popular tracks and merchandise. This design ensures that fans can quickly access new releases and updates while also exploring deeper content like detailed artist bios and exclusive merchandise, all from the first point of contact.
Live — share your tour dates
Set up a ' Live ' page to keep your fans updated with your latest tour dates. This page is essential for bands on tour, as it allows you to post upcoming gigs and events. Ensure each listing includes dates, venues, and cities, and consider integrating a booking system or links to ticket sales to make it as easy as possible for fans to catch your live performances.

Listen — embed tracks and playlists
The 'Listen' page is where your music comes alive on the web. With Portfoliobox’s new music page options, you can seamlessly embed Spotify tracks and playlists directly onto your site. This integration not only enhances user experience by allowing fans to listen to your music without leaving the website but also helps you showcase your selected discography in an organised and appealing way.
Releases — highlight your discography
Your 'Releases' page serves as a catalogue of your work. Here, you can feature each album with its cover art and release date. You could also add a brief description. Link each album cover to more detailed pages where fans can learn more about each release, listen to tracks, or find links to purchase or stream the albums.
About — tell your story
The 'About' page should provide a deeper look into your band. Include a biography that captures your band’s history and highlights each member's profile. Adding photos, background stories, or even individual achievements can make this page resonate more with your fans.
Contact — connect with fans and press
On the 'Contact' page, include essential contact information for press inquiries and booking, alongside a contact form for fan messages. Offering a downloadable press kit can also streamline media requests, providing journalists with bios, high-resolution photos, and essential facts about the band.
Merch — sell your band merchandise
Finally, set up a 'Merch' page to sell band merchandise like t-shirts and tote bags. Portfoliobox’s e-commerce tools make it easy to manage inventory, process payments, and handle shipping, turning your website into a one-stop-shop for fans wanting to support your band.
