What is a really good dj website supposed to have in it?

Here’s mine, I recently launched it:

Here’s the article.

What to put on your website

Now that you’re all set up in terms of hosting, domain, and even a back-end, the hard part comes – content.

The bare basics of a DJ website would be a news/events page. A bio is also an important page, and of course a page to post mixes and/or tracks you produced. Finally, a contact page where one can get in touch with you is necessary.

Outside of those bare basics, other possible items you could add are event photos, a blog, links to other websites, or even to your social media connections.

Social media widgets are helpful as well as the means for others to share pages around on social media. If you end up going with WordPress, explore the plugins available and customise your site to fit your needs and desires.

You basically should put the bare basics, and then think about the rest based on what you’re willing to do. Don’t put charts and such unless you’re going to regularly maintain them.

The essentials should still be bio, news/events, mixes, and contact info.

I agree on the image resize, but save the big image for press purposes.

The banner is to big I think and the font a little difficult to read, but it does look good.

My thoughts (from an Interactive Media Designer/Developer standpoint). Please don’t be insulted…just trying to help.

1. Lose the splash page or utilize it. Splash pages are very pointless unless it’s for some short-term thing, like a micro-site for a movie or event. Most people will quickly move on to the main page. For my site I use my first page as a news section, with five items that recently happened and a “feature” spot for a new mix or even event.
2. Lose the noise. Immediately I pressed the mute button on my laptop. Noisy websites aren’t good anymore. You should instead have “noise” from mixes people can download or videos you post.
3. Your site looks like it’s hosted on a free space. If so, think about investing in a full web hosting so you’re free of ad banners and other limits those free guys put. You might not think it’s much, but others will find it annoying.
4. Lose the counter. It’s old thinking and no one cares anymore. I use analytics usually included with the host or from Google to track how a site is doing in greater detail.
5. Your home page is a cluttered mess. The photos and video are good to have, but you should toss them into sections, like a gallery, to keep things organized. Home page should have what you’re up to. Upcoming events, new mixes, etc.
6. You should find a means to post mixes…even if you’re just uploading them on MixCloud and MixCrate and posting links.
7. For services, think about the consumer. If you do mobile/wedding, then take a picture of your setup and show you bring it all to the event. You don’t need the list because most people won’t know or won’t care. Talk in terms of what a customer wants.

Some things I liked:

1. The layout in itself. It pushes excitement and even abides with the green branding you want.
2. The use of event photos. Shows you rock the party.
3. The testimonials. It’s especially helpful for mobile jocks.
4. The social media connections at the top. Push it.

Hope this helps. 🙂

Here’s mine. The thing I hate is sone content doesn’t show on iPhones like SoundCloud and MixCloud embedded items. But on a computer view I’m happy with it. I did have a Public Google calendar embedded but I have no gigs so it didn’t help.
