web development for the music industry.

Studio Raine is a web design and development agency for the music industry. we design and build platforms for record labels, music companies and the executives who run them. stores, licensing, release pages and fan sign-ups are built in, every site launches ready for Google and AI search, and the code, the domain and the customer list are yours.

14 client properties are live and linked from the STUDIORAINE homepage. Mixed by Isolation went from signed scope to live in eight days.

Traphouse Studios, Knice On The Sonics and Suzi: live sites we built.

the sites we build.

five kinds of music site, each one built around what that business actually sells. where one is live on a client's domain right now, it is linked, so you can open it.

record label websites

for a label running more than one artist.

one site for the whole roster: a page per artist and per release, one store and one customer list under all of it, and licensing that writes itself per sale. the detail is on the record label websites page.

  • roster, artist and release pages
  • one storefront across every artist
  • a customer list in the label's name

company sites for music businesses

for management companies, PR firms, touring companies and booking agencies.

the company, its roster and its record on one site it owns: every act you represent, the press and the dates, and the enquiry that books the work. it's built to show up at the top when someone searches the company or asks AI who represents an act.

  • the roster and the record
  • press and dates in one place
  • the enquiry on your own domain

producer and beat stores

for producers and engineers selling a catalog.

your catalog on your own domain instead of a marketplace: previews on every page, checkout in your own merchant account, and a licence agreement written and stamped on every sale.

  • previews before anyone buys
  • checkout in your own Stripe account
  • a licence written per sale

sites for the artists you sign

for labels and management companies, for every act on the roster.

a home for each act that sells, books and signs fans up from day one: the music, the shows, the store and the booking form, built to the act's identity rather than a template, on the label's platform and the label's customer list.

  • music, shows, store and booking
  • fan sign-ups into the label's list
  • built to each act's identity

custom platforms

for when a site is not enough.

licensing engines, catalog and rights tools, royalty dashboards and fan clubs. that work has its own page: custom software for the music industry.

  • licensing engines
  • catalog and royalty tools
  • memberships and fan clubs

music sites we have shipped.

how a build runs.

  1. diagnostic

    most builds start with a paid diagnostic: one week, $10,000, credited in full against the build if you go ahead within 90 days. it gives you the written scope, and you keep that document either way.
  2. scope

    the scope puts what gets built, the number and the ship date in writing before any work starts.
  3. build

    built on Next.js, rendered on the server and fast on a phone, with titles, descriptions and structured data on every page from the first day. checkout runs through your own Stripe account.
  4. launch and transfer

    at launch the code, the domain, the merchant account, the customer list and the analytics move into your name. there's no licence to renew and no monthly fee on the site itself.
  5. after launch

    your team edits copy, prices, art and releases from a dashboard at no monthly cost, or keeps the studio on a retainer, billed monthly, cancellable any month.

who it is for.

record labels
a roster that needs one site under the whole catalog, not one page per act.
label owners and music executives
one system for the catalog, the store and the data, built to how the company runs.
management companies
every artist you manage on one platform, with one customer list you own.
touring companies and heritage acts
the touring entity, the dates and the private-booking enquiry, on one site you own.
booking agencies, promoters and festivals
every act you book and every show, in one place you own.
publishers and distributors
a property per release and the systems you already pay for, joined up.

not a fit if

  • you want a template you edit yourself. that is a builder, and we do not sell one.
  • you need it live without a written scope. the scope is what fixes the number and the date.

what every site ships with.

SEO
titles, structured data and a sitemap from the first day.
AI search
ChatGPT, Bing and Google's crawlers let in, answers written on the page.
label websites
the roster platform, in detail.
custom software
licensing, catalog and royalty systems.
case studies
the builds, with the figures each client publishes.
a catalog store
your catalog and your checkout on your own domain.
a first version
one product, scoped and dated in writing.
for agencies
AI search and people panels for your clients, under your name.

who does the work.

John Raine, founder of Studio Raine

Studio Raine was founded by John Raine, an A&R and a musician who records as Raine, with released records and a working catalog on the music side. the studio is in New York City and works for labels, studios, producers, engineers and artists everywhere.

more about the studio

questions.

who builds websites for the music industry?

studios that specialise in music, and Studio Raine is one: platforms for record labels and music companies, with stores, licensing and release pages built in. 14 of our client properties are live and linked from this site. the firms ChatGPT named for it, side by side with Studio Raine.

what does a music industry website cost?

every build is from $50,000, fixed in a written scope, because a label platform across a roster and a catalog with thousands of releases are not the same build. most start with a paid diagnostic, one week at $10,000, credited in full against the build if you go ahead within 90 days.

how long does a build take?

the ship date is set in the scope. for reference, Mixed by Isolation went from signed scope on 5 July to live on his own domain on 13 July. a roster or a catalog takes longer because there is more to move, and the scope says by how much.

do we own the site?

yes. at launch the code, the domain, the merchant account, the customer list and the analytics are in your name. there's no licence to renew and no monthly fee on the site itself.

will the site be found on Google and in AI answers?

it's built for that from the first line of code: rendered on the server, a title and description on every page, structured data, a sitemap, and the crawlers for Google, Bing and ChatGPT let in. moving up from there is the ongoing work of SEO and AI search.

what do you build on?

custom builds are on Next.js, rendered on the server and fast on a phone, with no theme or plugin to keep updated. checkout runs through Stripe in your own account, and your team edits the content from a dashboard.

who is behind Studio Raine?

John Raine founded Studio Raine. he's an A&R and a working musician himself: he records as Raine and has his own records out. the studio is in New York City and works for labels, studios, producers, engineers and artists everywhere.
