Band Websites and Online Band Booking

I was talking to a music teacher come weekend warrior this week who is doing OK for himself as far as band bookings are concerned. He was though, embarrassed to admit his new band didn't even yet have a band website.

If you're pro-active enough off-line and get asked back often enough you can actually get away without an online presence. 

I wouldn't recommend it though. A simple, reasonably optimised band website can get you plenty of passive band bookings - especially in the corporate or private party sector (if that's of interest). 

It should also be more cost effective and less time-consuming than mailing or hand delivering demo CD.

So, here's a post and answers from someone asking how to get started with a band website.

Bandzoogle and wordpress are good suggestions or you can also try a hosting company like Hostgator who have hundreds of  website templates to chose from.
