Help & documentation
Everything you can build with Artist Kit
A plain-English guide to every part of the page editor — what each setting does, why you'd use it, and how it works. Open a topic to dig in.
Getting started
The editor and how it works
What the page builder is, who can edit, and how your changes go live.
What the page editor is
Your Artist Kit page is a single, mobile-first site that holds your bio, music, videos, gigs, gallery, news, and contact details in one shareable link. The editor is the settings panel you use to build and update it — no code, no templates to wrestle with.
The page is organised into sections (Home, About, Music, Videos, Gallery, Gigs, News, Contact). You turn on the ones you want, fill them with content, and style them to match your brand. What you see in the editor is exactly what your visitors will see.
Who can see and edit the settings
The settings panel only appears when you're signed in and viewing your own page. Visitors, promoters, and fans never see the editor — just the finished page.
One account manages one artist page. If you perform under more than one alias, create a separate account for each.
Saving and publishing changes
Each section saves on its own, and your changes go live right away — there's no separate publish step to forget.
Because edits are live immediately, it's worth previewing on a phone before sharing a fresh link. The page is built mobile-first, since most promoter and fan clicks come from a phone.
Free plan vs. Pro at a glance
The free plan covers the essentials: your own URL, all the core sections, a contact channel, and up to 10 items each in Music, Videos, Gigs, and News.
Pro unlocks the Gallery section, background videos, a custom domain, your analytics dashboard, and unlimited items in every section. It also removes Artist Kit branding from your page. Each Pro-only feature below is marked with a Pro tag.
General settings
Your identity and basics
Name, username, genres, location, fonts, and the press kit toggle.
Artist name
Your display name — the name shown across your page and used when your page is referenced elsewhere on Artist Kit.
Use the name you actually release and perform under, so promoters and fans recognise it instantly.
Username (your URL)
Your username is the address of your page — it lives at artistkit.co/yourname. Pick something short and memorable that matches your artist name; it's what you'll put in Instagram bios, on flyers, and in emails.
You can change it later from General settings, but the old URL stops working the moment you do, so update anywhere you've shared it. What you type is tidied into a clean web address automatically.
Some names are reserved for system and help pages, and a username already taken by another artist can't be reused — if that happens, you'll be asked to pick another.
Genres
Tags that describe your sound, so it's clear at a glance what you do. Add the handful that genuinely fit rather than every loosely related style — a focused list reads as more credible to promoters.
You can add up to 5.
City / location
Where you're based, chosen from a global city list so it's standardised. It tells promoters your home base and which markets you're easy to book in.
Start typing and pick the matching city from the suggestions, or leave it blank if you'd rather not show a location.
Heading and body fonts
Two font choices that set the typographic feel of your page: the heading font styles section titles and hero text, the body font styles paragraphs and details.
Pairing a distinctive heading font with a clean body font is the quickest way to make the page feel like yours without touching the layout. There are eight of each to choose from.
Show press kit (EPK)
A toggle that adds a downloadable, print-ready electronic press kit (EPK) to your page — handy for promoters and press who want a one-page summary.
It's covered in detail in the Press kit section below, including the content it needs before the download appears.
Home section
Your hero and navigation
The first thing visitors see — layout, logo, menu, and background.
Page layout
Controls where your navigation menu sits relative to your logo: menu on the left, menu on the right, or a centered arrangement.
It's about the feel of the header — centered reads as bold and minimal, left or right reads as classic. Pick whichever balances your logo best.
Logo and visibility
Your logo or wordmark in the header. You can upload an image logo, or turn the logo off to show your name as text instead — useful if you don't have a logo yet.
Use a clean, high-contrast image so it reads on any background. Logos can be a JPG or PNG, up to 3MB.
Menu labels and order
The navigation links to each section (About, Gigs, Music, Videos, Gallery, News, Contact). You can rename and reorder them so the menu tells your story in the order that suits you — a DJ might lead with gigs, a producer with music.
Background mode: color or image
Your hero background can be a solid color or an uploaded image. Switching modes changes which controls appear below.
A color keeps the page fast and lets a background effect shine; an image sets a strong mood the moment the page loads.
Background color
The solid color behind your hero. It's always present as a fallback even when an image or video is set, so it shows while media loads.
Pick a color with enough contrast against your text so your menu and name stay readable.
Background image
A full-bleed image behind your hero — a press shot, artwork, or texture that sets the tone.
Use a high-resolution landscape image and make sure it doesn't fight with your text; a darker image keeps light text legible. Background images can be a JPG or PNG, up to 3MB.
Background video
Pro
A looping video behind your hero for extra motion and atmosphere — great for capturing the energy of a live act.
Keep it short and subtle; your background color shows underneath while it loads, so choose them to complement each other. Videos can be an MP4 or WebM, up to 3MB.
Background video is a Pro feature.
Text color
The color of your menu, buttons, and hero text. Set it for contrast against your chosen background so everything stays easy to read.
Background effect
An optional animated overlay on your hero for movement and personality. There are fourteen effects — covered in the next section.
Design & style
Hero background effects
Animated overlays that give your hero motion and a distinct mood.
What background effects are
Background effects are animated layers drawn over your hero. They add a sense of life and a signature look without any code, and they sit on top of whichever background you've chosen — color, image, or video.
There are fourteen to choose from. Most let you set a color or small palette, and some add a little extra control such as density or speed. Effects are decorative — if you want maximum focus on a press image, choose None.
The full set of effects
None — no overlay, for a clean hero.
Rays, Aurora, and Gradient sweep — flowing light and color washes.
Smokey, Bubble, Orbs, and Animated blobs — soft drifting shapes you color to taste.
Sparkle, Confetti, Constellation, Pulse rings, Dot grid, and Fall beams — particle and pattern effects.
Choosing colors that work
The quickest way to make an effect feel on-brand is to give it two or three colors from your artwork or logo.
Keep effect colors close to your background for a subtle look, or contrast them for something bolder. Either way, check your hero text and menu stay readable over the animation.
Home section
Hero blocks
Featured content and calls-to-action layered into your hero.
What hero blocks are
Hero blocks are content cards you place in the hero area to feature what matters most right now — a new release, a key show, a headline, or a custom call-to-action — above the rest of your page.
They're the place to put your most important update, since the hero is the first thing every visitor sees. You can add up to six.
Custom blocks
A block you build yourself: an image, some text, and up to three buttons linking anywhere you choose. You can set the block's width, the image's size and shape, make the image a link, and switch on a frosted-glass background.
Reach for a custom block when you want a bespoke announcement or a call-to-action that doesn't map to an existing section item. Images can be a JPG or PNG.
Reference blocks (music, video, news, gig)
Instead of rebuilding content, you can feature something you've already added — a specific release, video, news post, or upcoming gig. The block stays in sync with the original item.
This is the easiest way to spotlight, say, your latest single or your next show without duplicating its details. Past gigs aren't offered, since the hero is for what's ahead.
Home section
Social & streaming links
The icon links that connect your page to everywhere else.
Adding social links
A row of icon links to your profiles and platforms — Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Deezer, Amazon Music, Beatport, Mixcloud, Resident Advisor, Linktree, email, and a generic link for anything else.
Paste a link and the right platform and icon are detected automatically. These are your page's connective tissue — the way visitors jump to follow, stream, or message you.
Order and alignment
You can drag links to reorder them, so your most important platform sits first, and choose how the row aligns — left, center, right, or stacked vertically on either side.
Lead with where you most want traffic to go, usually your main streaming platform, and pick an alignment that balances the rest of your hero.
Content sections
Controls every section shares
Heading, colors, background, layout, and entry animation — common to About, Music, Videos, Gallery, Gigs, News, and Contact.
Heading, colors, and background image
Every content section has its own heading, text color, and background color, plus an optional background image — so each section can have a distinct look while staying part of one page.
Use these to create rhythm down the page (for example alternating light and dark sections) and to make a key section stand out.
Section layout width
Each section can be set to wide, default, or narrow, which controls how much horizontal space its content uses.
Narrow suits text-led sections like About; wide suits visual sections like Gallery or a marquee of gigs. Default is a balanced middle ground.
Entry animation
How a section animates into view as a visitor scrolls to it. The options are None, Fade up (the default), Fade, Drop in, Slide from left, Slide from right, Zoom in, and Stack on scroll.
Subtle motion makes the page feel polished; keep it consistent across sections unless you want one to make a deliberate entrance.
Content sections
About section
Your bio and profile image.
About text
Your biography — who you are, what you do, and where you're based. It's the section promoters and journalists read to decide whether to book or feature you, so lead with what makes you distinctive.
It's a rich-text field, so you can add emphasis, links, and structure. Keep it tight and skimmable rather than exhaustive — a few strong sentences beat a long paragraph.
About image, size, and shape
An optional profile or press photo shown alongside your bio. You can set its size and shape (square, soft-rounded, or circle) to suit the layout.
Use a sharp, well-lit shot; a circle or soft-rounded shape reads as friendly, square as editorial. Images can be a JPG or PNG.
Content sections
Music section
Your releases, with streaming links and tracklists.
What the music section does
Showcases your releases as cards with cover art, and links out to every platform they're on. It's the heart of a music-first page — the place fans press play and labels gauge your catalogue.
You control the card size and can feature one release so it leads the section. The free plan holds up to 10 releases; Pro is unlimited.
Per-release details
Each release has a title, a release date, and a type — Single, EP, Album, Mix, Live, Demo, Remix, or Other — plus a cover image and an optional short description.
Cover images can be a JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Streaming links
Each release carries its own streaming links — Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer, SoundCloud, Amazon, YouTube, Beatport, Bandcamp, or Other — so fans can open it wherever they listen.
Add the platforms that matter for that release; you need at least one, and you don't need them all.
Tracklists
EP and Album releases can list their tracks, giving the card more depth for fans browsing your catalogue. Singles and other types don't need a tracklist.
Content sections
Videos section
Embedded YouTube and Vimeo videos.
What the videos section does
Embeds your videos — live sets, music videos, visualisers — so visitors can watch without leaving your page. Video is one of the strongest ways to convey what your live show or production actually feels like.
Like Music, you can set the card size and feature one video to lead the section. The free plan holds up to 10 videos; Pro is unlimited.
Adding a video
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and Artist Kit recognises the platform and sets up the embed — no embed codes to copy. Most YouTube and Vimeo link formats work, including youtu.be short links, Shorts, and player links.
A cover image is fetched automatically where available, or you can upload your own JPG, PNG, or WebP. Give each video a clear title so the section is easy to scan.
Content sections
Gallery section
A visual portfolio of photos.
What the gallery does
Pro
A photo gallery for press shots, live photography, and behind-the-scenes images — a visual portfolio that complements your bio and music.
You choose how it displays: a tidy grid, a Pinterest-style masonry layout, or a swipeable carousel. It holds up to 20 images.
Gallery is a Pro feature — on the free plan you'll see an upgrade prompt instead.
Adding gallery images
Pro
Upload images one at a time or in a batch; they're arranged automatically. Use high-quality, consistent photography for the most professional impression. Images can be a JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Content sections
Gigs & events section
Your upcoming shows and tour dates.
What the gigs section does
Lists your upcoming shows with date, venue, and city, in chronological order. Past dates roll off automatically, so the list always shows what's ahead with no cleanup from you.
It's how promoters see you're active and how fans find out where to catch you. You can display it as a simple list, a scrolling marquee, or a cards grid. The free plan holds up to 10 gigs; Pro is unlimited.
Per-gig details
Each gig has a date, a name, a venue, a city, and an optional description for any extra detail — support acts, set times, age limits.
Ticket status and links
Each gig shows a ticket status: none, Sold out, Tickets available, or More info. The last two display a clear button linking to your ticketing or info page.
Marking a show Sold out adds social proof; a ticket link turns interest into sales right from your page.
Content sections
News section
Announcements, press, and updates.
What the news section does
A feed of updates — release announcements, press features, milestones — so returning visitors and press can see you're active and what's new.
The free plan holds up to 10 news items; Pro is unlimited.
Per-news details
Each item has a title, a short description, and a date, plus optional longer details, a link to the full story elsewhere, and a thumbnail image.
Keep titles punchy and descriptions to a sentence or two; use the link to send readers to the original article or post.
Content sections
Contact section
How promoters, press, and fans reach you.
Contact items
A set of labelled contact methods — for example Booking, Press, or Management — each with the relevant email, phone, or instructions. This is where you make it effortless for the right person to reach the right inbox.
Separate booking from management and press so enquiries land in the right place from the start. You can add up to six.
Social links in contact
The social and streaming links you set up in the Home section appear here too, so visitors who scroll to Contact have every way to reach and follow you in one place.
SEO & social
Search and sharing
How your page looks in search results and shared links.
Page title and description
The title and description used by search engines and when your link is shared. A clear title — your name plus what you do — and a compelling description improve how you appear in search and how often people click a shared link.
Keep the title concise and the description to a sentence or two.
Social share image
The preview image shown when your page is shared on social platforms and in messages. A strong, on-brand image makes shared links far more clickable than a default crop.
A 1200×630px JPG or PNG works best — it's the standard size social platforms display.
Favicon
The small icon shown in the browser tab and bookmarks. A custom favicon — your logo mark — makes your page feel finished and easy to spot among open tabs.
Use a square JPG or PNG.
Press kit
Electronic press kit (EPK)
A downloadable one-page summary for promoters and press.
What the press kit is
When enabled, your page offers a downloadable EPK generated from your content — a tidy, print-ready summary a promoter or journalist can save and pass on. It pulls together your name, genres, location, bio, releases, and contact details, styled with your chosen fonts.
It saves you maintaining a separate PDF: update your page and the EPK reflects it.
Turning it on and what it needs
Switch it on with the Show press kit toggle in General settings. The download button appears once your page has the content it needs to be useful: bio text in About, at least one release in Music, and at least one Contact item.
If the button isn't showing, check those three are in place and the toggle is on.
Plans & billing
Pro and your subscription
What upgrading unlocks and how billing works.
What Pro unlocks
Pro
Upgrading to Pro lifts the free-plan limits and unlocks the gated features: the Gallery section, background videos, a custom domain, your analytics dashboard, and unlimited items in Music, Videos, Gigs, and News. It also removes Artist Kit branding from your page.
It's aimed at artists who've outgrown the essentials and want a fully branded, unlimited page.
Managing your subscription
You can upgrade, and manage or cancel an existing subscription, from the subscription controls in the editor.
If you cancel, your page stays online on the free plan — paid-only features revert to free defaults and your content is preserved, so you can pick up where you left off if you resubscribe.
Plans & billing
Custom domain
Point your own domain at your Artist Kit page.
Connecting a domain
Pro
A custom domain lets your page live at your own address — for example yourname.com — instead of artistkit.co/yourname. It's the most professional option once you own a domain.
Enter the domain in the editor and you'll get the DNS records to add at your domain registrar. Once you've added them, the connection verifies and the editor shows the status; DNS changes can take a little while to take effect.
Custom domains are a Pro feature.
Plans & billing
Analytics
See how your page is performing.
Your analytics dashboard
Pro
Analytics show how many people visit your page and when — total views, today's views, and recent visits — so you can tell which posts, campaigns, or press features are driving traffic.
Use it to learn what's working: a spike after an Instagram post or an email blast tells you where to put your energy next.
Analytics is a Pro feature.
Account & support
Account and getting more help
Signing out, deleting your account, and reaching us.
Signing out and deleting your account
You can sign out from the editor's account controls. Deleting your account is there too — it's permanent: your page comes offline and your data is removed from active systems, so only do it if you're sure.
Still need a hand?
If something here didn't answer your question, the FAQ covers common questions about pricing, data, and accounts, and the contact page reaches the team directly — we aim to reply within one business day.
Bug reports and feature requests genuinely shape what we build, so tell us what you saw or what you're missing.
