Linktree Is Not a Website
You make real music. You need a real website. One that books gigs, sells merch, and shows up when someone Googles your name.

The Problem
You Wrote the Songs. Where Is Your Website?
You have the music. The shows. The merch. But when a venue, label, or journalist looks you up, they find a link page that looks like everyone else’s.
What You Get
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.
Fan Engine is a professional web presence for bands and artists who are serious about their music. Not a template. Not a link page. A real site that works.

Add-Ons
The Stuff You Hand Out and Stand Behind
Designed from the same brand you launch with, so the merch table, the booth, and the card in someone’s hand all look like the same act. Quoted per run, because the price moves with quantity, size, and finish.
Tell us the quantity and the size and you get a flat number back, printing included. Reorders after the first run are landed cost plus a stated 40%.
Straight Answer
Who Fan Engine Is For
Fan Engine is priced for working artists, and it is scoped for them too. That is why it costs less than the business tiers.
- Bands and solo artists with real material and real shows
- DJs, producers, and singer-songwriters
- Session players who need a credible page to send a bandleader
- Visual artists, photographers, and makers who need a portfolio that books work
And Who It Is Not
- Not for local service businesses. If you are a contractor, a clinic, or a shop, you want Presence or Foundation. They carry the local SEO and lead tracking Fan Engine does not.
- Not a lead system. There is no validation, scoring, routing, or CRM here. That starts at Foundation.
- Not a label services deal. We build the site and the merch around it. We do not do PR, playlist pitching, or distribution.
When Music Becomes Business
We Scale With You
Start with Fan Engine. When the booking volume or the ad spend justifies it, the next tier is a step up rather than a rebuild.
Questions
Fan Engine FAQ
Why is this cheaper than your business tiers?
Because the scope is narrower and it repeats. Fan Engine is a showcase site with your music, dates, press kit, and merch links. It does not carry local SEO, call tracking, a CRM, or a lead pipeline, which is most of the work in the business tiers.
Can I update the tour dates myself?
Yes, and you should. The calendar and the pages are built so you add shows and pages in the editor without calling us. Adding pages costs nothing.
What if I already have a domain or a Bandcamp store?
We use them. Your domain points at the new site, and Bandcamp, Shopify, or whatever you already sell through gets linked or embedded. We do not make you move your store to launch.
Do I have to buy the merch add-ons?
No. The site stands on its own. The tap cards, posters, stickers, table skirts, banners, and tents exist because artists kept asking for the same things after launch, and they look better when the same person designs them.
What happens if I stop paying the monthly?
You keep the site and the domain, because you own them. Care covers hosting, security, backups, and support. If you cancel, we help you move the site somewhere else rather than hold it hostage.
How fast can we start?
Two to four weeks from the point we have your assets. The build is $800 at kickoff and $800 at launch, so you are not paying it all up front.
