Affordable choir websites typically range from $1,000 to $8,000+ depending on complexity.
Our Core package starts at $999 for choirs who are ready to build their site with our proven templates. Our most popular Growth package is $4,500 and includes semi-custom design and free ticketing integration. Premium custom choir websites for larger organizations start at $5,500-8,000+.
In addition to our design fees, you'll pay Squarespace directly for hosting (approximately $200-300/year), which includes security, unlimited bandwidth, and automatic backups. You may also need to purchase a custom domain (your website address) which is about $10-20 per year.

Most web designers don't get the choral world. We live it. We've sung in choirs for 40+ years and served on boards as Marketing Directors and Presidents.
We understand why your donation page is just as important as your concert calendar, how to write copy that speaks to someone Googling "community choir near me" at 11 PM, and how to turn website visitors into ticket buyers, new singers, and donors. We're choir people who happen to build great websites.
-
Yes! Every choir website package includes integration with our favorite easy-to-use, totally free ticketing platform, if you want it. You'll set up your account directly, and then we'll integrate it seamlessly with your website and train you on how to create events and manage ticket sales. Please note that our ticketing platform works best for general admission seating. If your venue requires assigned seating with specific seat selection, we can discuss alternative ticketing solutions during your consultation.
Note: our Core template includes instructions on how to set up ticketing yourself. Our Growth & Premium packages include done-for-you integrations.
-
Of course you can use the tools you already have setup and that work for you! If you have an online ticketing solution already, we can absolutely work with you to integrate it with your new website.
-
The launch timeline depends on the package you choose and how much of your website materials you have ready to go (your copy, images, concert details, etc.).
Our Core template can be set up in 1-2 weeks once you have your content ready. Our Growth package typically takes 4-6 weeks once we receive all your content (photos, text, logos, etc.) from initial design to launch, including time for revisions and training. Premium custom choir websites vary depending on complexity and your specific requirements—we can advise on your timeline during our initial consultation.
-
While we specialize in choir and vocal ensemble websites, we absolutely work with all types of community music organizations including community bands, orchestras, chamber ensembles, children's music groups, barbershop groups, and instrumental ensembles. Our experience with nonprofit music organizations translates well across any ensemble type that needs to recruit members, sell tickets, and attract donors.
-
Yes! Our Core package ($999) includes a choir-optimized Squarespace template designed specifically for vocal ensembles. These templates include all the essential pages choirs need—auditions, concerts, donations, about, and contact—with guidance on setup and customization. For organizations wanting more customization, our Growth and Premium packages offer done-for-you, customized choir website design.

We can help! If your current website is outdated, hard to update, or not mobile-friendly, we'll move everything over to a modern Squarespace site that you can actually manage yourself.
You can bring your content, photos, and anything else you want to keep with you, or we can start fresh, whatever you prefer. And we’ll handle all the tech stuff behind the scenes so you don't lose any visitors or search rankings.
What we don't do: update or refresh websites on other platforms. If you need your existing WordPress, Wix or custom site tweaked, we're not the right fit.
If you're ready for a fresh start on Squarespace—a site that actually helps you fill concerts, recruit singers, and get back to making music—let's talk!
-
Every effective choir website should include: a compelling homepage that explains your mission and unique sound, a concert calendar with integrated ticketing, an About Us page highlighting your history and artistic leadership, clear audition information with contact forms, donation and sponsorship pages, member resources, photo and video galleries, and easy-to-find contact information. Mobile-friendly design and accessibility features are also essential for modern choir websites.
-
We build all our choir websites on Squarespace because it offers the best balance of ease of use, automatic security updates, beautiful design, and powerful marketing features. Unlike WordPress or other platforms which require constant updates and security maintenance, Squarespace is secure, mobile-responsive, and easy for non-technical choir board members to update. It also integrates seamlessly with ticketing platforms, email marketing tools, and donation systems that choirs need.
-
Yes! All choir websites we create are mobile-first and fully responsive. They automatically adapt to look perfect on phones, tablets, and desktop computers. Since most people browse and buy tickets on their phones, mobile optimization is essential and it's built into every website we create.
-
Yes! This is included in our Premium package. We can create password-protected pages where you can share rehearsal schedules, internal announcements, sheet music, recordings, and other resources just for your choir members. This keeps your administrative information organized and accessible to your singers while keeping your public website focused on recruiting and audience engagement. Or if you have another member management platform already, we can connect it to your website.
-
Absolutely! All our choir websites are built on Squarespace, which is designed for easy updates without technical knowledge. We provide training so you can update concert announcements, add new photos, post news, and manage content yourself. Or, if you prefer, we are happy to handle updates for you through ongoing maintenance packages.
-
Hosting is included with your Squarespace annual subscription (approximately $200-300/year, which you pay directly to Squarespace). This includes unlimited bandwidth, SSL security, and automatic backups. For maintenance, all our packages include email support after launch to help you get comfortable with your new site. After that, we offer affordable ongoing maintenance packages if you'd like help keeping your site updated and fresh with new concert season information, photos, and anything else you'd like to share.
-
Yes! We build websites with solid fundamentals so people searching for choirs in your area can find you. For more advanced SEO features, our Premium package includes optimized page titles, descriptions, headers, metadata, and site structure to help your choir be found online. We make sure your website is set up properly for search engines and includes the right keywords for your community.
-
A well-designed choir website typically lasts 5-10 years depending on how well you maintain it. Your website is an investment. If you keep it updated with fresh performance details, photos, and current information, it can serve your choir well for many years. Eventually, design trends change and you may want a refresh, but with regular updates and good maintenance, you won't need to completely rebuild very often. We design sites to grow with you.
-
We will spend 30 minutes discussing what you'd like to include in your new site and the goals for your group and answer any questions you have. Then we will recommend the best package for you. There's absolutely no pressure or commitment involved. We'll also provide a helpful planning checklist for your Board, including ideas on how to secure grants to fund your website, so that you can move forward quickly and confidently if you decide this is the right investment for your choir.
-
Easy. Friendly. No jargon, no runaround. We know you're squeezing this project into whatever free time you can find, and that you're probably not a techie —and that's totally fine. We keep you in the loop every step of the way, explain things in plain English, and make decisions together so you never feel lost.
Most clients tell us they were dreading the website process and ended up actually enjoying it. We're professionals who happen to be nice people—and we genuinely care about helping your choir succeed.
