9 Best Website Builders for Musicians of 2026

Bandzoogle is the only builder on this list that exists purely for musicians, and it shows in the plan sheet. Every website plan includes music players, a full tour calendar, a blog, a mailing list signup form and a free custom domain, and Bandzoogle states that it charges 0% commission on sales. The three website plans step up by what you can sell: Lite sells music downloads, Standard adds merch, and Pro adds tickets and advanced selling tools. The plan comparison also lists subscriptions, crowdfunding, album pre-orders, print-on-demand merch and Luminate (SoundScan) reporting. Integrations cover Bandsintown, Bandcamp, Printful, Stripe, PayPal, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel. There is also a one-page EPK plan for artists who mainly need a press kit, and separate Merch Table plans for a store without a full site. The trade-offs are a trial instead of a free plan, and tight limits on Lite: 10 pages, 10 tracks and 100 photos. Most touring bands will want Standard or Pro.

Wix is the strongest general website builder for musicians who want to design every page themselves. The free Wix Music app adds a custom player for albums, tracks and playlists, lets listeners share tracks on social media, and sells audio commission free, with uploads in WAV, FLAC, ALAC and MP3. Wix also documents event websites that sell tickets, collect RSVPs and accept payments, and an online store for digital and physical products, including print-on-demand merchandise. That combination covers the three things a band site needs: music, shows and merch. The cost is in the plan you need. Light at $17 a month on a yearly plan does not list payments, so a band selling anything should budget for Core at $29. Wix Music itself carries a 3.4 rating from 323 reviews on the Wix App Market, and some reviewers mention player sizing and gapless playback issues. For bands that want a free start and maximum layout freedom, it remains a strong pick.

Squarespace has a dedicated music website page and a help guide for building a band site, and together they cover most of what a musician needs. You can upload tracks into audio layouts or connect SoundCloud, list shows on an events page, or add a Bandsintown block so tour and live stream dates update from your Bandsintown profile, with links for tickets and RSVPs. The store sells shirts, posters and music, and Custom Merch lets you create new products. Member Areas put exclusive releases or streamed performances behind a paywall, and Email Campaigns handle fan newsletters about tours and discounts. Design is the main reason to choose it: templates look finished with little effort. The downsides are cost and focus. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and from our location the pricing page did not show US dollars, so the price is pending. Music-industry extras such as SoundScan reporting are not part of what Squarespace documents.

Bandcamp is not a website builder in the usual sense, but many bands use it as their main online home, so it belongs in this comparison. Each artist gets a customizable store for digital albums, vinyl, CDs, cassettes and merch, with pre-orders, download codes, discount codes and embeddable players you can put on any other site. Bandcamp says fans have paid artists $1.84 billion through it and that, on average, 82% of each sale reaches the artist. Joining is free, and Bandcamp earns a 15% share on digital items, dropping to 10% after $5,000 in sales, and 10% on physical goods, with payment processor fees on top. Bandcamp Pro at $10 a month adds batch uploads, ad-free HD video, private streaming links, more detailed sales data and Shopify inventory sync. The limits are design and scope: there is no tour calendar or free-form page builder in what Bandcamp documents. Many artists pair it with a builder higher on this list.

Big Cartel describes its origin plainly: it started as a place for indie bands to sell their merch. Today it is a lean store builder that suits bands whose site is mostly a merch table. Platinum costs $15 a month after a 7-day trial and covers custom domains, physical and digital products, shipping labels with order tracking, design customization and apps for print-on-demand. You can also sell in person and take payments from your phone, which helps at the merch table after a show. Diamond at $30 a month adds abandoned cart recovery, scheduled product drops for limited runs, password-protected products and Zapier connections. A limited free Gold plan exists for testing. What Big Cartel lacks is the rest of a band site: the pages we read do not mention a music player, a tour calendar or a mailing list, so most bands link to it from Bandcamp, Linktree or a full builder. Pricing is simple and flat.

WordPress.com is the flexible choice for musicians who expect their site to grow into a blog, a fan hub or a store. The free plan runs on a WordPress.com subdomain, and Personal costs $4 a month when billed every 12 months, or $9 month to month, with 6 GB of storage and a free domain for the first year. The real strength is the ecosystem: higher plans install any premium theme and any of more than 60,000 plugins from the WordPress.com marketplace, which is where music players, event calendars and store features come from. That flexibility is also the drawback. Nothing on the pricing pages we read is built for musicians, so a band has to choose and configure plugins for tour dates and music sales, and the plans that allow plugins cost more than Personal. It suits artists who write often and want control, and is overkill for a band that needs a simple site this month.

Linktree is the fastest way to give fans one place to find your music, and Linktree says more than 70 million creators use it. For musicians, the key features are Music Links, which work on every plan including Free, tour dates pulled from a Seated or Bandsintown artist profile so fans can see nearby shows and buy tickets, and Music Pre-Save links that add an upcoming release to a fan's Spotify, Apple Music or TIDAL library on release day. Email sign-ups can sync to tools such as Mailchimp. Starter costs $7 a month billed annually, Pro at $14 removes Linktree branding and adds custom designs and selling with 0% fees, and Premium at $30 adds link rules, data export and social scheduling. The limit is format: it is one page of links, not a website with an EPK, blog or full store. Many artists use it in their social bios and keep a full site elsewhere.

Carrd is the budget pick for musicians who need a clean landing page and little else. Sites are one page, built from a template or a blank canvas. Pro Lite costs $9 a year for three sites and adds video uploads, slideshows, premium templates and removes Carrd branding, while Pro Standard from $19 a year adds the things most artists actually need: custom domains with SSL, forms and embeds. Forms can collect signups into email tools such as Kit, Klaviyo or Mailchimp, or take payments, and widgets and embeds bring in Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad and other third-party code. That means you can embed a player or a checkout from another service, but Carrd itself has no music player, tour calendar or store. It works well as a press page or a home for a single release, and it costs less per year than one month on most builders. Bands that need several pages or a merch store should look higher on this list.

Shopify is the heavy-duty option for musicians whose website is really a store. Shopify's own music page says you can sell digital downloads, CDs and vinyl from one store, pick from over 70 customizable themes, take payments through Shopify Payments and Shop Pay, and promote on Facebook, TikTok and marketplaces including Bandcamp. The Shopify Digital Products app handles audio files with email delivery, download limits and file hosting. Bandcamp Pro also offers inventory sync with a Shopify store, which helps labels that sell the same records in both places. For most bands it is more than they need. Shopify does not document a music player or tour calendar on the pages we read, so those come from apps or embeds, and the plans cost more than Bandzoogle or Big Cartel for a small merch range. From our location the pricing page showed a currency other than US dollars, so the price is pending.
