Band Website Extreme Makeover Part 1

Wednesday, March 16
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Artist Central in Ballroom E
531 E 4th St

In Part 1 of this 2-part session, it’s all about live critiques of band websites! Bands submit their websites for review and each site's design, organization and content are assessed. Reviews will be ruthless and diplomacy left aside, but everyone will learn how to improve their websites. Plus, one winner will get their website redesigned for part 2 on how to build an effective band website!

Using the site that was redesigned after Part 1, Part 2 will show musicians how to create an effective website that will keep fans engaged. The panel will discuss how a band’s website should be organized, what content needs to be included, how it should be designed, and what mistakes to avoid.
