Your Website

Choosing your theme

Your theme is the whole look of your site — the fonts, the colors, the way your music and photos are laid out. You pick one thing, and it styles your entire site. No page editor, no fiddling with sliders.

You change your theme in Site Design in your dashboard. Switching is safe: your content stays exactly where it is — only the styling changes. Try a few and see what feels right.

The themes that are live now

Letterpress — a screenprinted gig-poster broadside. Bold, inky, graphic. Suits indie, punk, and bands with attitude — but with a strong hero photo and your own colors, it carries just about any sound.
Aurora — an after-dark, big-sky look. When you switch it on, a living aurora ignites once across the top of your page and your name resolves out of the dark, then it settles to a quiet glow and gets out of the way. Your music, tip jar, and merch read as luminous "lit panels" so the path to listen, buy, and tip is the brightest thing on the screen. Made for atmospheric, electronic, and after-hours acts.
Holler — the loud one. Big saturated color blocks, oversized type that breaks the edges, and the confident off-grid energy of a gig poster or an album drop. Your name lands huge on a bold block; your music floods edge-to-edge. It comes in light or dark, and you can crank it up. Made for artists with personality and volume — pop, soul, funk, hip-hop, R&B.
Strata — the cinematic one. Big full-bleed photography is the whole backbone: your photos run edge-to-edge, your name breaks out over the image, and the page gets a real sense of depth as you scroll, with foreground and background drifting at different speeds. Your gallery becomes an overlapping, layered showpiece. It comes in light or dark, and the parallax can be turned off or cranked up. Made for artists whose visual identity carries the site — editorial, photo-essay, refined.
Voyager — the out-of-this-world one. A warm analog tape deck floats in a living, drifting cosmos — a mixtape sent into deep space. There's a real generative starfield behind your page that drifts with your cursor and gently pulses while your music plays, your tracklist reads like a cassette J-card, and the always-on player at the bottom is styled like a tape deck with reels that spin while a song plays. It's dark by default (it's space), with a soft "dawn cosmos" light mode if you want it. Made for ambient, electronic, experimental, dream-pop, and cosmic-Americana — anything that should feel like a transmission from somewhere else.
Cutout — the Xeroxed punk zine. Cut-paper collage, ransom-note headlines where every letter looks sliced from a different magazine, and the real texture of a photocopier — torn edges, toner speckle, tape and staple shadows. Your name lands as a hand-collaged headline; your sections overlap and tilt off the grid like a flyer assembled on a copy-shop floor, never a tidy template. It holds its conviction on a phone, too. Made for punk, hardcore, indie, noise, lo-fi/bedroom, and experimental DIY artists — where the aesthetic is the credential.

All six are complete, mobile-first designs — they look right on a phone first, because that's where most fans will see your page.

Make it yours — Refine

Once you've picked a theme, open Refine to dial it in without touching a page editor. Each theme ships its own curated set of choices, so everything you pick still looks designed:

Palette — Letterpress runs from oxblood to cobalt, forest, burnt, and an overprint; Aurora gives you Borealis (green-teal over midnight, the default), Solar Wind (a warm Montana sunset), Glacier (icy cyan), and Ember (hot coral); Holler gives you Block Party (hot magenta + tangerine, the default), Boombox (high-contrast mono and one screaming red), Soul Revue (oxblood, teal, and gold), and Riso Clash (coral + electric cobalt); Strata's are editorial and built to let photos lead — Newsprint (warm gallery paper, the default), Ferrotype (warm sepia), Cyanotype (cool blueprint blue), and Gravure (stark white-cube contrast); Voyager's are cosmic moods that re-color the whole starfield — Violet Nebula (deep-space violet + gold, the default), Ember Cosmos (black space with ember and gold dust), Ice Drift (cyan over blue-black), and Green Deep-Space (an aurora-green nebula); Cutout's are copy-shop inks on newsprint — Newsprint (riso red on warm paper, the default), Manila Stencil (stencil black on kraft), Riot Pink (hot pink + teal), Acid Green, and Photocopy Blue.
Font pairing — a few hand-picked type sets per theme. Aurora's are Halo (the default), Marquee, Nightletter, and Beacon. Holler's are Heavyweight (the default), Marquee, Wildstyle, and Soul Slab. Strata's are big editorial faces over clean body type — Broadsheet (the default), Marquee, Gazette, and Frontispiece. Voyager pairs a warm display face with a typewriter "liner-notes" type — Golden Record (the default), Cosmos, Observatory, and Almanac. Cutout's set the ransom headline's dominant face over a clean body — Condensed (the default), Serif Mix, and Typewriter.
Accent — your one spot color, used for the section marks, links, and buttons. Holler, Strata, and Voyager all let you set it independently of the palette. Strata's are Ember (the default), Gold, Steel, and Clay; Voyager's are Gold (the default), Rose, Cyan, and Violet.
Light or dark — Holler, Strata, and Voyager all read beautifully either way. Use the Mode control to flip between them. For Holler and Strata, Light is the default; for Voyager, Dark is the default (it's space) with a "dawn cosmos" Light option.
A signature knob — each theme has its own. Letterpress has rule weight and halftone grain; Aurora has Motion (leave it on Ignite · settle, the default, or switch to Keep drifting for a slow, ongoing shimmer); Holler has Intensity (Loud, the default, or Louder) and Block style (Solid flat blocks, the default, or Gradient); Strata has Parallax depth (Subtle by default — turn it Off for a still page, or Dramatic for more depth on scroll) and Image presentation (Full-bleed edge-to-edge by default, or Framed for a calmer editorial mat around each image); Voyager has Cosmos (Reactive by default — the starfield responds to your cursor and to the music — or Drift for a calm ambient version, or Still for a static scene) and Tape wear (Worn by default, with analog film grain and aged J-card paper, or Clean for a pristine look); Cutout has Collage chaos (Askew by default — how far everything tilts off the grid; dial down to Upright for a calmer layout or up to Scattered for full flyer-wall chaos) and Degradation (Xerox by default — the amount of toner speckle and photocopy wear; Clean for a crisp print or Trashed for a generation-too-many blowout).

Pick an option and the whole site re-skins instantly in the preview — nothing about your content changes.

Aurora's motion, Strata's parallax, and Voyager's cosmos all respect your visitors: anyone whose device asks for reduced motion (and anyone with JavaScript off) simply sees the finished, settled page right away — no movement, fully composed. Voyager's starfield also drops to a still scene on phones so it never weighs the page down.

More on the way

We keep adding looks. When a new one ships it simply appears in Site Design as another option — nothing to migrate, and your content comes with you.

How to choose

Try them and see which fits your sound — Letterpress if you want bold and graphic, Aurora if you want dark and atmospheric, Holler if you want loud, maximal, and full of color, Strata if your photography is the star and you want it big and cinematic, Voyager if your music is ambient, electronic, or experimental and you want something genuinely otherworldly, Cutout if you're DIY/punk and want a site that looks hand-made and stapled to a telephone pole. A couple of pointers whichever way you lean:

Your photos do a lot of the work. A strong hero image looks great and sets the whole tone.
Use Refine to find your palette and type — it only takes a minute, and the preview updates live.
Don't worry about getting it perfect. You can switch themes as often as you want, and nothing breaks — your content stays exactly where it is.

Previewing

When you select a theme in Site Design, you see it render with your real content — your name, your photos, your shows — so you know roughly what fans will get before you commit. It's a close preview, not a pixel-exact one; open your live site in a new tab to see the finished thing.
