A standing give-back for independent small bands. You already do the hard part — the writing, the driving, the loading in. This is a fast, good-looking site that makes it easy to hear you, find the next date, and hand somebody the right link.

Verified operators can invite bandmates, manage dates, build an EPK, and file setlists.
01 / Still On Tour address
$400
launch · $5/mo
A compact, prebuilt one-page site at yourband.stillontour.com. It still carries the whole band backbone above: music, story, photos, dates, contact, fan notes, and the free portal. The difference is one scrollable layout and no custom domain or visual direction.

02 / Template + your domain
$750
launch · $10/mo
Choose one of five finished designs. We load your approved material into home, shows, music, and press pages — with the same fan notes, dates, EPK, and crew tools. You buy and own the domain.
Coming with the five-template collection
03 / Custom direction + your domain
$1,500
launch · $25/mo
One focused visual direction, a real four-page band site, and launch help — plus the same fan, dates, EPK, and crew backbone. This is the live route today for a band that wants its own character without a five-figure agency bill.
Tell me about the band →The tiers change the address, layout, and amount of visual direction — not whether a band can actually communicate and run its page. The $400 and $750 routes are deliberately marked coming soon: I will not take money for a template or subdomain system before it exists. The $1,500 custom-direction route is available now.
This same scope normally starts at $6,000. Independent small bands pay $1,500 — a 75% cut that Dead North funds on purpose. The bands playing to forty people on a Tuesday are the whole reason the rooms are worth walking into, and a good site should not be the thing standing in the way.
It is not for a label, promoter, large management operation, ecommerce build, custom member system, or a site that needs a full CMS. Those are real custom projects and keep the normal build floor.
The first thing a stranger hears about you, in your words, with the links that matter.
The run of the show — dates, venues, ticket links, and no guessing about the next one.
Streaming, video, and Bandcamp links laid out for listening instead of scrolling.
Bio, photos, and contact details — what a booker needs, on one page you can send.
Design and launch: one visual direction, responsive and accessible build, domain and DNS launch help, basic analytics, and source kept in version control. You own your domain and your words. You supply (or have rights to use) the words, photos, logos, and links.
Hosting: static CDN delivery, HTTPS, deploys, and automated uptime and dependency checks. The monthly price is deliberately low because there is no database or CMS to babysit. It does not include ongoing edits, support hours, new features, a store, or a mailbox.
Five designs are in the works
Once the collection is ready, the cheapest route will be to choose one of five prebuilt band-site designs. The structure is already solved; we load in your approved words, photos, show dates, and music links. It is for bands who need a good home fast, not a custom visual direction.

$25/mo
CDN hosting, HTTPS, deploys, and automated uptime and dependency checks for the static site. Cancel any time. This is deliberately hosting, not a support retainer: new pages, rewrites, stores, databases, and ongoing content production are separate work and quoted before they start.
Optional add-on / Band Mailroom
$15/mo
+ $125 setup
We manage the boring parts of an own-domain mail setup: up to 3 mailbox accounts, aliases, forwarding, DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, basic delivery checks, and adding or offboarding a bandmate. The band stays the provider’s super administrator; Dead North is a delegated admin, never the owner of the account.
Mailbox licences are paid directly by the band at provider cost — currently from $12 per user/year for a 5 GB Zoho Mail Lite mailbox. More than 3 managed mailboxes add $2/mo each, plus that mailbox’s provider licence.
Not included: reading or answering mail, copywriting, bulk marketing campaigns, old-mail migration, or open-ended phone/computer support. Those are separate, quoted work. The band can remove Dead North’s admin access at any time.
Every plan: the contact route sends people to an inbox the band already uses. The Still On Tour-address plan does not include an @stillontour.com mailbox.
Your own domain: I can set up free incoming email forwarding, such as hello@yourband.com to an existing inbox. That receives mail; it does not create a mailbox or let you send from that address.
If you need real band email without the Mailroom: you buy it directly so it stays yours. Zoho Mail Lite is currently listed from $1 per user/month on annual billing; Google Workspace Business Starter is $7 per user/month annually or $8.40 flexible. I can set up the DNS as a separately quoted one-time task — no markup and no trapped account.
Domains: on the two own-domain plans, the band registers and renews its domain directly. I recommend a registrar that charges at cost, then help connect it at launch. The domain is not included in the monthly hosting price.
Verified bands can use Still On Tour’s band portal independently and free: public profile and EPK, dates and opt-in show announcements, up to three live fan notes, setlists, and invitations for member accounts. This partnership includes a setup session so you can connect the dots; it does not sell access, bypass verification, or turn Still On Tour into a paywall.
