What Our Customers Say
The theme looks and feels like it was custom built. Working within the theme - it is very logically laid at and their system of “pockets” make it so easy to make updates and the changes are echoed throughout your site. More tour dates - no problem - every instance of tour dates on your site is updated - same with releases, reviews, bios - it just makes sense. Well thought out AND the customer support is one of the best I’ve encountered! Thank you for being an outstanding company. You are a stand out.

Independent Band
Bandtheme is something artists, and the music industry, have been waiting for for a long time. It’s the perfect solution to make a snazzy artist website, that’s a breeze to update, at a very affordable price point. It’s got all the things a musician needs, and as websites are still very relevant, especially to Google, having a solid one is a must for a cohesive artist brand.
Patrick Ross
COO, Music Ally
It was a joy working with Bandtheme. Their highly visual, music-focussed WordPress Themes opened up so many possibilities for how a band website can look and feel, whilst offering core functions to satisfy the nuances of music's digital landscape. Bonus points for working with music lovers meets website builders, ultimately leading to a better fan experience.

I’m a big fan of the Bandtheme spin on the WordPress website. It’s easy to use and the functions are very impressive. The finished results look great and make for a smart, sleek looking website. The guys at Band Theme are extremely helpful and always on hand for any questions and queries I may had. Great product and top team.

Sunday Best Record Label
Matt Deighton is a true British great - a critically acclaimed folk/rock artist with a back catalogue of classic records stretching back to the early 90’s. He was the subject of a Sky Arts documentary in 2021 and his bandtheme website allowed him to perfectly present a treasure trove of music and photos from across the decades in a clean, fast and incredibly easy to use and update template. Bandtheme gives power to the independent artist in presenting their world to the wider world.

Dave and his team are super responsive and professional. Also, really friendly and I can tell they care about their customers and want everyone who uses Bandtheme to succeed. Not only are they great people to work with, the website itself, the easy-to-use template, and the helpful guide if you get stuck, are extremely valuable. If you are just launching your career, like me, or you are a well-seasoned pro, Bandtheme has everything for you.
