The best website builders for DJs

By Illia Shymanchyk (ShyMan)Founder, Other Dimension Records and the Glitch Party Series8 min read. Updated October 2026

Most comparisons of website builders are written for shops and restaurants. A DJ needs something narrower: a place for mixes, upcoming dates, a press kit and a booking email, on your own domain, that you can update from a phone.

Here is how the main options compare on exactly that. Prices were checked on each builder’s own site in October 2026 and change often, so treat them as a guide. We build custom sites ourselves, so we have put ourselves last and been plain about when you should not pay us.

What a DJ website actually needs

  • Mixes that play on the page, which in practice means SoundCloud or Mixcloud embeds.
  • Upcoming dates that are easy to update, and that do not show last month’s gigs as upcoming.
  • A press kit: photos at print resolution, a short and a long biography, a technical rider.
  • A booking email that a promoter can find in five seconds on a phone.
  • Your own domain, so the address survives any platform you use.
  • A separate page for each release or mix, so people can find it by its title and not only by your name.

Link pages: free, and enough for a start

Linktree and its competitors are free or close to it and take minutes to set up. For a DJ who is just starting out, a link page with your mixes, your Instagram and a booking email is a perfectly good first website.

The limit is that it is one page of links. There is nowhere to put a press kit or a list of dates, and the address belongs to the platform unless you connect your own domain.

Carrd: the cheapest real website

Carrd builds simple one-page sites. There is a free plan on a Carrd subdomain, and the Pro Standard plan, which connects your own domain, is 19 US dollars a year. That is the cheapest way on this list to have a proper site on your own address.

One page is both the strength and the limit. A biography, embedded mixes, a few dates and a booking email fit comfortably. A full press kit and a history of shows start to strain it. It also means one way in from search: a release or a show cannot be found by its own title, only as a line on the page.

Bandzoogle: built for musicians

Bandzoogle is the only builder here made specifically for music. Plans start at 11 US dollars a month billed monthly, less if paid annually, and include a music player, a show calendar, commission-free sales, a mailing list and a free custom domain. There is also a single-page EPK plan from 6.95 a month.

It understands what a musician needs better than any general builder. The trade is design: the templates are serviceable rather than striking, and getting a site that looks distinctive takes more effort than on Squarespace.

Squarespace: the best-looking templates

Squarespace starts at 19 US dollars a month billed annually, 25 monthly, with a free domain for the first year on annual plans. Its templates are the most refined of the general builders, and SoundCloud and Mixcloud embeds work well.

It has no concept of a release or a set, so mixes and dates are things you lay out by hand. For a DJ with a good eye and a small amount of content, that is not a problem. We have written a fuller Squarespace review for musicians.

Wix: the most flexible editor

Wix has a free plan, but it carries Wix advertising and a wixsite.com address, which is not what you want a promoter to see. Paid plans that remove the ads and connect your domain start at about 17 US dollars a month billed annually.

The editor lets you put anything anywhere, and there is an app for most things, including music players and event listings. That freedom is also the risk: it is easy to build something that looks fine on a laptop and falls apart on a phone, which is where promoters will open it.

A custom site

This is what we do. A designer builds a site around your sound and your material, rather than you adapting a template. Freelancers usually charge a one-off 1,500 to 6,000 US dollars. We charge a monthly fee instead, 99 US dollars for an artist, with the design, build, hosting and updates included and nothing up front.

It is only worth it if what you get is clearly better than what you could make yourself, and if you will actually keep it current. If you are starting out, use a link page or Carrd and spend the money on your music.

Which one to choose

  • Just starting out: a link page, with your name registered as a domain for about fifteen dollars a year.
  • Want a real site for almost nothing: Carrd.
  • Want music features at a low price: Bandzoogle.
  • Care most about how it looks and enjoy designing: Squarespace.
  • Want to build everything yourself with maximum freedom: Wix.
  • Want it designed for you, and would rather not maintain it: a freelancer or a studio, including us.

Common questions

What is the cheapest way to get a DJ website?
Register your name as a domain for about fifteen dollars a year and either point it at a free link page or build a one-page site on Carrd, whose plan with a custom domain is 19 dollars a year.
Which website builder is best for SEO?
Any of the paid builders here is technically good enough. What decides whether you are found is your own domain, a page that clearly says who you are, where you are based and what you play, a separate page for each release and each show so that searches for a title, a venue or a party can land on it, and other sites linking to you. The builder matters much less than those.
Do I need a separate EPK if I have a website?
No. A press page on your own site, with downloadable photos, a biography and a rider, is the EPK. Send promoters a link to that page rather than a PDF, because a link stays current.
Can I switch builders later?
Yes, as long as your domain is registered in your own account with a registrar rather than bought through the builder. Then switching is a matter of rebuilding the pages and pointing the domain at the new site.
