What is the eBandLive platform?

It’s a hyper focused content management system aimed specifically at bands.  We’ve identified many common elements that artists and bands use on their websites, excluded many things that just don’t make much sense and packaged it all up in an easy to use interface.

What do all the costs cover?

Custom Design + Code package: One design concept that is a skin of the default wireframe, 2 revisions to that concept, CSS/XHTML coding, implementation into the eBandLive platform.

Premium Design + Code package: One completely rethought design concept using the eBandLive platform functionality (ex: www.standardthompson.com), CSS/XHTML coding, implementation into the eBandLive platform.

$25 monthly subscription: eBandLive content management system use, website hosting, custom email, and all the other features we offer.

Why do you charge a monthly fee on top of the design cost?

The monthly fee covers all the features eBandLive offers, hosting and use of the eBandLive platfrom.  Our custom web solution fees are deeply discounted so artists and musicians can afford them. The monthly fee makes this possible.

How long does it take for my site to go live?

Once you’ve completed our project kick off questionnaire and we’ve recieved any files you’d like us to work with:

  • The initial design will take between 7-10 business days (not including weekends).
  • Each design revision will take 1-2 business days (not including weekends).
  • Development will take 7-10 business days (not including weekends).
  • The rest will depend on how long it takes you to populate your website with content which we recommend doing while we are working on designing and developing your site.

Is there a free version of eBandLive?

Nope. There are a lot of free services out there for you to take advantage of but we’re here to make you look as professional as we can. Plus, it took a lot of blood sweat and tears (yes, we cried a lot) to get this bad boy up and running. Would you work for free?

Do you offer refunds if i’m not happy?

We do offer refunds if we haven’t started any design or coding work on your project. This is because it takes time, effort and cash for us to do this stuff and if we were to offer a money back guarantee we would lose our tookus. You can, however cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel, your current paid month will run through to the beginning of your next billing cycle and then you’re done.

What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

It is the backend of your website that allows you to add/edit/delete the content of your website.

Why don’t you offer free domain registration?

Well, we thought about it but decided that it was a bad idea. If we were to register your domain we would ultimately own your domain name. We don’t want to do that. You should own your domain name. Period. Register one at GoDaddy.

Why do you use Gmail for custom email?

We use Gmail because its solid as a rock, you have complete and familiar control of your addresses, its easy to use, it syncs with all of the google applications, the interface rocks, and we just want you to have the best damn email you can get.

Why do you use Google Analytics for visitor reporting?

Because it’s just plain awesome and we’d like you to have the mostest awesomest stuff we could possibly give you.
