makerhandle

For bands

One link for the whole band

Four members, five socials, a tour, a record and a merch table. One page the whole band can point to, that one person can keep up to date.

What a band page shows

Example: a four-piece indie band between records. The band photo, "Brooklyn indie rock. New single out Friday." and icons for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Spotify. Then:

  1. New single: "Glasshouse", a scheduled link that counts down until release day and then turns into the streaming link
  2. Tour dates, linking to Bandsintown or Songkick
  3. Merch, the product grid with shirts and vinyl, prices and photos (4 products on Free, 12 on Pro), from your Shopify or Bandcamp listings added by hand
  4. Join the mailing list, the built-in subscribe box

Under that, each record as a project with its cover, liner notes and the music video on its project page.

Tour posters and merch tables

Print the QR code from the Share sheet on the tour poster, the merch table sign or the back of a shirt. It can carry your logo in the middle, and scans show up as "QR code" in your analytics, so you know if the poster worked.

On Pro, the page lives on your band's own domain, like yourband.com, with no badge. See custom domain.

Press and bookers

Bookers and blogs need a one-sheet. Upload it as a PDF with Open to work and resume, and it opens in one tap from your page. A "Booking" button can go to your agent's email.

makerhandle does not embed Spotify or SoundCloud players or run pre-saves; streaming links are buttons that open the app, and your distributor keeps doing pre-saves.

Free: 5 projects, 50 links, three templates, 100 email subscribers and 7 days of stats, with a small "Built w/ makerhandle" badge. Pro is $20 a year: all nine templates, unlimited projects and subscribers, a year of stats, the contact form, your own domain and no badge.

Questions

Can I count down to a release?

Yes. A scheduled link shows a countdown, then becomes the streaming link at the release time.

Can I sell merch on the page?

You can show merch with photos and prices in the product grid. Fans buy on your store or Bandcamp.

Can I collect fan emails?

Yes, with double opt-in and CSV export. 100 subscribers free, unlimited on Pro.

Can I embed Spotify?

No. Spotify is a social icon and a link button that opens the app.
